Storm Season Upon Us Yet Again
Posted by: synthman19872003, 8:46 PM GMT on March 14, 2012 +0
Well it's fairly safe to say that Winter is over for North Carolina and the rest of the Southeast (not counting frost/freezes that are inevitable in April). Lexington picked up a whopping 1.5" of snowfall for the ENTIRE season, all from one minor snow event on Feb 19th. No ice storms either which is rather odd. Being in what I like to call "Ice Storm Alley", we haven't lived up to that reputation in years. Yes the Winter of 2011-2012 was very disappointing to say the least, but I am ready to forget it and move on to Spring! What we lack in snowfall, we usually make up for in thunderstorms. We'll see how this year goes.

First "heat of the day" type thunderstorm of the season popped up yesterday (3/13) a couple counties to the east. Someone doesn't appear to be too happy about seeing these cauliflowers in the sky already!

Fall Colors in Western NC
Posted by: synthman19872003, 5:36 PM GMT on October 17, 2011 +2
Unfortunately a lot of the leaves were knocked off the trees due to high winds the day before, but there was still a lot of color to be found; ANY time is a great time to be in the mountains!
