At least that won't burst the pipes and take out the power grid.

Seriously as bad as it was it was being reported yesterday the grid was 4 minutes from a total blackout yikes

I swear if I freeze my butt off and nags head I will not be too happy

Fortunately for you, the odds of the Euro verifying closely that far out are low. Now if something similar were to somehow remain (it very likely won't because even the almighty King flips a lot run to run even well before day 10) or go away and return a few days later, we then can start thinking something like that may actually happen.

Things that are rapidly getting old. #1 warm hyping #2 pictures of 10 day forecasts with a chance of rain each day and some woe is me comment about the forecast #3 acting like it should be May weather
This isn't about anyone specific I just decided to scroll through wxtwitter

It’s gonna heat up big time soon. I hate how wet it’s about to be man. It should be May by now

Some of you heat lovers need to head to CAE this weekend. Forecasting low 80s there on Sunday.

A lot of pressure on the 0Z good Doc. Odds are it will be less threatening vs prior EPS for March 2-3, but we’ll see. Anyone staying up for it?

I’ve been burned out with the weather this second half of winter. I haven’t been on Tropicsl tidbits in 4-5 weeks. Been a tough winter here. Truly ready for this one to come to an end. Ready for the beach, waterpark, pool, hiking trips and Carowinds.

I havent seen this much lightning in forever

Been some hail reports too more frozen precip I suppose ?

Got some more GSP svr tstorm climatology for y'all to ignore. Used IEM's automated data plotter to find the number of svr tstorm warnings that occurred since 1986, organized by month and year. Downloaded as excel file, took averages for each month, and plotted it on a basic free online bar graph creator. I know none of this is groundbreaking research, but I find it interesting to visualize this. And this is for the entire GSP CWA.

Here's the original data plotted by IEM
