If we can get 2.17 with this next system I’ll be at 35 inches year to date. Yeah that is impressive. I will have to look at my numbers but im not that high. It seems like every rain event we get an inch or more in one storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro has more high elevation snow and could be more widespread frost. Yep I have been seeing that. For early May that would be extremely impressive and extremely rare.

calculus1 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Not quite as much rain here in Hickory (25.22 inches), but I'm still almost 6.5 inches ahead of pace on my 8-year average. The yard looks awesome, though! =) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the east cost trough returns; when this happens in May I always start reminiscing about May 1992, first time I ever went cross country skiing; found this in the Los Angeles Times of all places: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-05-10-mn-2323-story.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Currently sitting at 38.8° and dropping with cold rain. I wouldn't be shocked to see a flake or two later. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously WTF, I want to plant my tomatoes... I hear you. I am just across the mountain from you in TRI, and I feel your pain. That is a really ugly look next weekend. I have a small hoop house. May have to rig up a heater if those temps verify. Can you imagine the tree foliage with long duration temps in the 20s(teens at higher elevation)? GEM has temps fairly cold as well now - trended colder this run. Those are all time record lows(for the month of May) being challenged on both of those models for TRI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a 12 foot Field and Stream Eagle Talon from Dicks Sporting goods and it does well on the lakes and would do fine in class 1 and 2 water. Anything more than that would be tricky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it kicked my butt outside of a few small largemouth I caught. For a river kayak, can’t go wrong with a Jackson Coosa or Native Slayer XC but they are both over $1k. Usually can find used Coosa’s for a decent price. All depends on what your budget is. I’ve had a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 and Jackson Kilroy. Both good , all-around kayaks when it came to different water types. My next one is gonna be a Slayer XC since I’ll be fishing moving water in it more than anything else up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks, but you had better luck than me. I just had a few decent bream and one small trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading to the top of my mountain to watch the light show. Almost no clouds ahead if that line, so I'm pretty optimistic it'll be a good one...if it holds together.

Yeah GSP just mentioned this line coming through saying it should weaken by the time it gets into the mountains. I agree the way its coming in I think the mountains will chew it up pretty rapidly other than just some rumbles and some heavy rainfall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
