Was shocked to only get down to 26 here. 

The Catawba River is very warm for this time of the year.  I think that's keeping it a little warmer the closer to it you are to it.  Yesterday morning it was 10 degrees warmer at Riverbend Park (near Oxford Dam) than at my house in the St Stephens area of Hickory only 8 miles away.

I think it’s even warmer than normal here in St Stephens than it normally is. I hadn’t thought about the Catawba River as the reason, but that seems spot on. I’m probably only half a mile, as the crow flies, from the river. Great hypothesis!

That’s been my suspicion as well. I’m up on a hill but 200 ish yards from the edge of the water. A guy about a half mile further from the lake than me also has a station, so I’m going to check his tomorrow am and see.

Virga

Yes but I was mildly interested in that virga building in the location that it was. Didn’t expect to see much convective noise between I77 and the escarpment. DP has went down 2 degrees and the temp went up 2 so off to a HOT start
