Misc 2021-22 Fall/Winter Whamby Thread

I got excited when I saw a thread posted since I honestly haven’t been paying attention to the weather recently, but I see that storm is not for us east of the mountains. :(
Only 2 states in the entire contiguous not receiving snow in this image. Poor Phil and ...

Been dealing with those already for years here. Have fun swatting them down as they cover your trees and porches from midsummer through fall. The webs also linger a bit longer too as there were some still around by December.
That is horrible. I'd almost rather face WW III than have giant spiders landing all over the place when I'm outside. That sounds absolutely awful.

Ehh,. I hike and bushwack all the time . Day and night. So I have ran into my fair share of spiders head on . Just flick em off. The web is the worst part tbh.

Interesting, you sure they weren't these right here? I see these all the time. Not positive if Ive seen the golden orb weaver before though.

Look a lot like the Golden Orb Weaver (Banana Spiders) that live in the lower part of the state, those things are massive. They are huge by Aug and Sept in the SC low country.

The joro spider mentioned above is the same as this. Sounds like they are colonizing further inland. From what I have read they are common along the coast. Interesting.

It's worse when you find an overgrown area with a massive web about 15 feet long intermeshed with others that have 15 or 20 of them in it all together. If they pop up in your yard it's best to take them out while they're only the size of a quarter.

Yep, I only saw one of those this year. Very distinct webs vs Joro spiders. Joros webs are golden and very roughly made part of the time but also have a clear red marking on them. Their living habits also don't match those as mentioned above. They apparently started their spread from somewhere between Forsyth, Gwinnett, and Hall from about 2014 or 15 or so. Never had such a big spider problem until 2017 onward and we occasionally saw the native spiders.
 
Time for spring boys and girls my winter grade up here is a c minus I definitely thought I was going to not have to snow chase as much since I live next to the mountains but hopefully next winter it will be better

Interesting , I’ll keep my eyes open this summer . They live in some parts of the state for a while so let’s see if I catch some this year here. Sounds terrifying lol. I like it .

Do they ever get into your house?
