jburns Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 @NHC_Atlantic 6m6 minutes ago NHC will initiate advisories on Subtropical Storm Alex, located over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean, at 4 pm EST/2100 UTC. So we have our first named "tropical" storm before the snow flies. Interesting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Up to 59 now. Had the wife outside walking the ramp, through the yard, and up the steps to get back in the house. First time for her on that obstacle course. Her PT is paying off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I love seeing posts like this from local governments - using OFFICIAL sources with their warnings or shared information. Hyde County Emergency Services Department 1 min · A rapidly moving coastal low pressure system will impact Eastern NC Friday and Friday night. This will bring the threat of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and isolated thunderstorms. Expect rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches across the area, with locally higher amounts possible. An isolated strong thunderstorm will be possible along the coast Friday afternoon and evening. Gale warnings have been issued for the Pamlico Sound and the coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet, with seas peaking around 8-12 feet Friday night.

Solak Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Haven't followed much of what's going on down in Florida tomorrow, but this is trending on Facebook right now... The Lee County School District informed parents Thursday afternoon that anyone keeping a student home Friday due to concerns about approaching inclement weather will have the absence considered "excused."

CherokeeGA Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Snowy mix coming down right now. Quite unexpected... it's well above freezing at 38 in mby and it's been raining pretty hard for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCummingWx93 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm not sure why this happened but we've gotten tons more rain than forecast... my VP2 says I've received 1.79" since about 6am, which means my Cocorahs guage likely has around or almost 2" in it. This when I was forecast to get around half an inch. Hopefully Sunday morning's "system" overperforms as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Insane winds at the back edge of precip shield. Had 47mph on my kestrel but was not out there in some of the bigger gusts.

The winds lasted maybe 10 minutes at their peak. Now as we clear out above the low clouds are screaming from east to west. My wife looked up and said she almost felt dizzy cause of the illusion that one cloud deck was racing east while the other raced west. Really cool surprise.

Yes I got slightly less than 2" as well this morning, about 12 miles or so west of Cumming. It rained a lot more than I expected. Quite heavy for long periods of time. Did you see the snow there? For maybe.. 60 seconds about 8:45 or so. Mixed with raindrops. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
