Orangeburgwx Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Merry Christmas everyone! Got a couple new weather toys to play with for next year (a 5" rain gauge and an indoor/outdoor weather tracker) since I'm the official weather guy in my family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobNC Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I think the first three weeks of this year was the best weather I've ever seen living in NC. Great snow and cold, never seen the lakes frozen so hard. I want to move up north for uninterrupted subfreezing temps hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're moving from northern IL to the Chapel Hill area so that we can get away from the uninterrupted subfreezing temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just read Robert's post, hes one of the few people who post on FB regarding weather that is actually with reading. Hope his page doesnt get taken down, unless somehow he winds up back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think we have a great climate. It's possible to have a hurricane and a blizzard in the same year. Not many places can say that. This area is the Masen Dixon line of weather.

Yeah, we consciously chose someplace that still has four seasons, just not the death cold of the last decade in the northern midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into the micro-climate of the Triangle, you're (Chapel Hill) on the cold side of the "line". Many times winter storms feature a transition zone right through this area. This has been particularly present during the last three years; whereas folks north and west of Raleigh have had some great storms, and folks to the south and east have not faired as well. This is not always the case. There have been big winter storms to affect the eastern portion of the state. I think we are well over due for one of these storms.

I'm still unsure how to interpret statements such as "cold" in the Triangle. Cold to me is 7-10 days of zero degrees F with night time lows in the minus teens or even twenties. I suspect the cold you are talking about will feel like spring or autumn to me for the first two or three years after we move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Notre Dame was such a farce. Nice work by Clemson. Let's expand this thing to eight teams soon. Give UCF a chance too. I guess we'll see how good they are when they match up against LSU on Tuesday.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notre Dame looked good coming in, but when you look at their schedule, most of it was crap, them getting blown out did not surprise me one bit. I still believe Georgia should've been in besides OU, and yes, give UCF a freakin chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think yesterday's games were a farce how about Bama vs #8, Clemson vs #7. The other two first week matchups 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5 might be ok games but everyone knows Bama and Clemson await. And we would still have to go through the two games we went through yesterday before we get to the big one. I'd be careful what I wish for.

Yeah, but if ND gets a shot because they are undefeated, then so should UCF. ND's schedule was not significantly more difficult than was UCF's. Also, Georgia and Ohio State would have been included. Georgia already showed they can hang with Alabama. I think OSU and all Big Ten teams are rather weak, but let em play it out in a tournament rather than having some dudes sitting around a table decide who gets in and who gets out. We would still debate snubs even with eight teams in, but I am less sympathetic to any school's complaints if they didn't finish undefeated.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
