I wish. Top Six Southern Winter Folklore Sayings 1. If you count the morning fogs in August you will know how many August mornings were foggy. 2. A heavy crop of acorns will lead to fatter than average squirrels next spring. 3. If it thunders in winter, 10 days later it will have happened 10 days ago. 4. If you study the bands of the wooly worm you will know how many are brown and how many are black. 5. Snow that lays on the ground for more than three days is dirty. 6. A ring around the moon means your Lasik surgeon screwed up. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhowl Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Teleconnections not looking like they will take a dive like March of last year.

That would be a disaster. How would they get where they have to go? Oh, wait. They will already be where they are going before they start going there. Nevermind.

I think all this excess moisture will be just as miserable. If we head into Spring this wet, it's going to be miserable. We'll have 10 fold the mosquitoes that we're used to and mold spores galore. Basements and crawlspaces are flooding like crazy, foundations are cracking, roofs a leaking at alarming rate. Not to mention all the washout and mudslides we're having and you can forget farming/gardens if this keeps up. At least during a dry spell, less the once in a century wildfires, you can still enjoy it outside in the sun. If we don't dry up soon before April, it's going to be miserable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, watching the the Pigeon River right now, it's as full as a tick. Also, looking at the rain falling now and the radar returns to our west, it seems to me precipitation rates are going to be higher than what the forecast is calling for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The river really started going up yesterday and has just continued to rise. With the way the radar looks we could definitely see some river flooding into tonight. A ton of street flooding also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Staying on Helton Creek up near Mouth of Wilson, VA. The owner of these rental cabins says the creek is as high as he has ever seen it in 19 years up here. We've seen multiple benches wash down the creek. Pulled up lots of things away from edge. Still rising.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
