Been watching some mallards and a bunch of hoodies here in Morehead past week for so, wondering why they haven't migrated North yet. Turns out them birds are smart--they know better than to head into that mess!
I’m not a weather nerd in any aspect, but I am sick to freakin death of everything being some kind of a massive catastrophe. It’s not a threatening lightening event, it’s a summertime thunderstorm. It’s not a polar vortex, it’s a winter front doing that winter thing. Channel 12 tried to pass off a “pollen vortex” last spring. It would be quite neat to have a near exact storm nearly to the day of one almost 50 years ago.Stuff like this makes weather nerds cringe so bad......between this and the polar vortex vortex vortes.......one interesting tidbit about this event though is back in 1973 on Mar 14th to be exact they had the previous record holder that was beaten by this event, so this storm is beating the old record by happening almost to the day the old record was set which is remarkable in of itself....now back in 1973 about one week after the record setting low in Kansas a low formed off the SE coast and gave parts of central and eastern NC 2-3" of snow.....the last couple of days models have shown a storm forming off the SE coast in about a week, just like in 1973 and every once in a while they run it cold enough to snow in parts of NC from said storm.....would be crazy to see this setup repeat itselfs like that 46 years later.

To me the date makes it less unique it means those things happen this time of year. A tornado in December a snow storm in May now that is odd. A storm on the same day is just that’s normally when those types of storms hit. This one is stronger but I am sure that type of storm given not as strong is normal this time of year.

This post has to be a record of sorts as well.
