I’m near GSO. Stop soon to put out pre emergent? Can an expert recommend what I should put down?
Thanks,

Today isn't a bad day to get ahead of the rain tomorrow but you'd have to reapply just before July 4th to prevent any late summer break through. Lesco 0-0-7 Stonewall (prodiamine active ingredient) is my warm season go to.

I was told Ranger Pro helps green up the grass. Y’all should try it.

The Wolfpack will get a chance to right the ship when they face UNC at home this week. UNC will not have Caleb Wilson and might also be without Henri Veesaar for this game. Without their two best big men and playing on the road where Carolina has been less than impressive, it might be hard for UNC to win this rivalry game.

Yea, I don't have a great feeling for UNC on this one. Just seems like State is ripe to pull this one off. Hopefully Hubert will have them ready like dadgum Williams always did, who always treated State like THE rivalry. Maybe cause he was an assistant back in the late 70's/80's when it arguably was (compared to that other rival over in Durham County).

I'm glad somebody remembers Unc vs NC State used to be the bigger rivalry. Not Duke vs Unc. Unc vs NC State was a huge rivalry back then.
 
So happy I canceled my weatherbell subscription on Feb 5th before it renewed! Such a horrible pattern if you love winter weather. Perhaps a couple freezes next week but I think winter weather is absolutely done. Been a good year compared to previous winters. See yall next winter!

Did this actually count as getting into phase 8? Bit of a rant but just unbelievable how we can lallygag in 6 and 7, and it dies/peters out to the COD and doesn't want spend any time at all in favorable regions. Pacific forcing is hard for SE winters now.

Was just enough for a great 3 week period though.

What a strange winter it has been... I mean if it wasn't for that one week in January this would be the worst winter ever here by a long shot... That's how close we were... We had no measurable snow til January 23rd

Instead we somehow have our average snowfall even if we don't get another flake

The period Feb 1-7, 2026 was in MJO phase 8 as per this image:
IMG_8137.gif

Using Baltimore as a proxy for the E US, Feb 1-7 was the coldest La Nina Feb phase 8 on record in terms of both average anomaly and cumulative anomaly. Keep in mind that:

-It averaged 9 BN. The prior coldest was 7 BN and that was just a one day period.

-The cumulative anomaly was 66 BN over the 7 days. The prior largest cumulative Feb phase 8 La Niña anomaly was only 36 BN, which was over a 9 day period in mid Feb of 1999.

Comparing this to other Feb MJO phases during La Niña:

- This very cold phase 8’s cumulative anomaly of 66 BN is the third largest of all phases with only these two exceeding that:

1. Early Feb of 1996’s phase 3 added up to 84 BN over 7 days

2. Late Feb of 2008’s phase 1 added up to 70 BN over 10 days.

Really? I recall April, May, and particularly June being quite chilly.

June was surprisingly fine for it being a met summer month last year. The heat came, but it was in the last 10ish days. (edit, more like the latter half of the month actually, the June story was that there were 3 90’s early and then the heat dome started around my birthday and didn’t conclude until August)

Summer last year was like 6 weeks of misery and then a monster CAD for summer caused it to stay below normal for several days.

Hard to believe it’s already been over 2 weeks. I miss it. And an even scarier thought is waiting another 12 years for another 4+ event.

I feel like I'm having a much harder time separating from this event than I did last year's. And yet I'm genuinely excited for Edisto Beach, round 2 sometime in late May (I have an idea of the timeframe, but I don't have the dates nailed down) and potentially taking daytrips, even considered trying with the upstate during my boring workday for me briefly today, but it's likely just a smidge too far for me to not do car and hotel.

(I genuinely do need to move, and the main reason why is not really snow purpose related, but outdoors related, but 😬)

This is what makes winter storm tracking in the South painful when you fail to take advantage of chances.

If you get shafted from a winter storm in the mid-Atlantic or northeast, it's not nearly as big of a deal because more opportunities will come. But in the South, if you fail to cash in on a big snowstorm in the right setup, it feels like your favorite lost team lost in the championship. There isn't always a "next year" in the South, because on some occasions winters don't have measurable snow at all. This is why I can't ever get upset at the possibility of a late snowfall in March or even April - we'll get plenty of warm days for 8+ months, significant snowfall is never a guarantee around here.
