December 2024 Observations


Recommended Posts

 Yesterday (12/1) had the first freeze at Gainesville, FL, (aka Hogtown) with an impressive 28. That’s 3 colder than KSAV’s coldest so far this season of 31. Those who follow Hogtown know that it can radiate with the best of the deep SE.

My big observation today is that they are brining the interstates in Davidson county.  Slight chance of flurries tonight.  ROFL. The brine is probably 4 years old so they just said, “What the hell, use it.  We need the space.”

 Traveled I-16 today from Dublin eastward. I saw a very large number of trees down on the sides with the heaviest concentration from ~10 miles E of Dublin to Metter in pockets. It was wild as I’ve never seen anything like it for so many miles (40-50)! This was from Hurricane Helene, which likely caused highest gusts in the 90s mph in this area and was a once in a lifetime tropical event of that strength in much of this area as a result of the combo of it coming ashore in FL as a cat 4, large size, and near record speed of movement. It was like a bunch of tornadoes over a 50 mile wide stretch! There were some cleanup crew trucks in spots.

Does anyone have any idea what these are? My sis (in Atlanta) is asking me and I can’t tell from pics. She thought they were a bug but I’m not so sure.

 This one was in a spider web:

These were in her garage (came off a car underneath where it was parked):

Cicadas

 I thought maybe those, too. I told her that but she said they’re the size of a housefly. Maybe 1/4”. So they’re too small to be a cicada.

Some lows this morning: KATL 31; KSAV 34; KCHS 32; KGNV: 32

 A cold day is in store for today, the coldest of the season to date with sluggishly warming temperatures thanks to a new supply of cold air that is bringing 850s way BN (as much as 16 C/29 F BN)!

Please pin this and unpin Nov @jburnsor @buckeyefan1. TIA.

I chuckled inwardly at this from the RAH AFD

Interestingly tonight at 900 PM, RDU was 34 degrees. No other
stations (ASOS) were warmer in the state of North Carolina except
for the Outer Banks stations surrounded by water and Beaufort on the
coast. Even Wilmington was 32. Also of local interest, all the Wake
County and Raleigh sites (AWOS and LDAD) were running colder than
the RDU ASOS except one. I counted on the order of 25 sites in Wake
that reported at 900 PM. Only one site that is urbanized (near
downtown) reported 35. Even the hot spot in our CWA, Fayetteville
reported 26.

I’m at 27. They’re at 34. That’s wild stuff

The last part of that AFD mentioning RDU is hilarious:

Expect clear skies and very cold temperatures with exceptional
radiational cooling in the arctic air mass (frost points in the
teens). Most lows in the 15-20 range, except for RDU.

 

A view of the surroundings of the RDU temp sensor:
