cbmclean Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 In some of the other threads I see continual references to some mysterious "other board" that is apparently our archnemesis. What is the story behind that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I bought my new ride (2018 Toyota Tundra Limited Crewmax 4x4 V8) right before the leaves changed. I’ll drive it for ten years at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 So they are talking about this being the 3rd coldest New Year's Eve in New York City, with the coldest being Dec 31, 1917. Dec 1917 was the coldest Dec on record in Charlotte. Here's a photo of a car on the frozen Yadkin River from Dec 17, 1917. Ice was 8 inches thick - http://surrycounty.pastperfectonline.com/photo/F57129DC-B587-492B-8753-585554254989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize any river around here could freeze on the surface like this, much less in Dec?? Seems even more crazy this didn't happen later in Jan or Feb.

NCSU_Pi Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 To keep MBY stuff off the even thread: my parents are poo-pooing the ice threat in Brunswick County. I think they should be prepared for a potentially significant ice storm. What might we see, there? 0.25" of glaze with an inch or two of snow on top is nothing to sneeze at.

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Getting up this morning and seeing my temperature so low triggered a memory of when I was a boy and we had a slp way down off Florida and it was 11 degrees here. The most beautiful perfect onset a few hours later as tiny ice crystals began to fall. Over the next few hours that transitioned into bigger and bigger flakes until the afternoon when we had a full on blizzard - with official blizzard warnings from the NWS. Ended up over a foot. That must have been the early to mid 70s. That was the biggest snow I had experienced in this area until Jan 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
