Sorry to hear that. I've heard of some sort of disease hitting bee keepers locally here.

It's definitely a two-edged sword. The cold over this way is doing its part to keep some of the invasive species in check. We had a 0 degree night in January 2018 and several nights below 10 these past two winters which really helps with some of the imported and invasive Asian plants.

It was pretty rough to continually find my hives dead last winter but the hives are in much better health this year.
I’m a cold and snow lover so I don’t mind the cold usually. Last January was impressive and combined with the back ground issues just caused problems. It’s always a double edged sword with animals especially honeybees. To much cold and they can starve to little cold so they become active then they may stave. Always best to have it a little bit cold and a little warm

For those of you who are noobs like me, ChatGPT and Gemini are pretty excellent and breaking down and explaining those comments in the threads full of weather jargon and stuff that I don’t understand. I have a running conversation there where I just plug in comments about Aleutian Ridges and bridging and NAO and MJO and all this other stuff and it does a really great job of teaching what it all is and what the poster is saying, with maps and visualizations and stuff too… AI is pretty awful sometimes but for stuff like this it’s a wonderful tool

I really think we need a section just for NC and another one for everyone else. This place truly feels like a NC forum sometimes. Especially this time of year.

I've said this a couple times, And I think it would solve a lot of issues. But I can tell you it will never happen. It feels that way cause 95% of those in this SE group is NC

I just don’t get it. Do people in NC follow the weather more than people on other states ? There seems to be a disproportionate amount of weather weenies in NC.

The most knowledgeable posters are in North Carolina and I like reading what they say.

i mean yeah what does alabama/atl care if i am musing about trying to weak wedge our way to sub 60 on christmas day. probably a good call for that sort of not super impactful stuff but overall pattern disc you just have to know that most are going to have a bias toward their backyard even if they don't obviously post like that
 
When I post about upcoming patterns/storms, I try to include the entire SE (except Fl) but you have to go with the climo averages to see who generally (but not always) will be in the most likely spot for winter precip. Va. gets a lot more snow than NC on average and I really consider them the Mid-Atlantic more than the SE but that doesn't mean they can't be posting here because they are NC neighbors

Basically the most populated state that actually gets snow. GA has the same population but a lot less snow, FL and SC don't get snow.

There was a day when I was green with envy at you guys in Oconee, Greenville, Spartanburg almost every winter. But now you guys are just as bad as I am here it seems. We are all wayyyyyy overdue. And you would think the law of averages would kick in anytime now.

Snows plenty over here in the Pee Dee. We’re basically NC these days anyway due to vinegar BBQ and accents.

Edit: NWS says Florence has seen measurable snow 9 out of the last 15 years. Sure it ain’t Mt. Mitchell but it’s enough to remember.
