March and August are the trigger months for me. By March I am ready for the warmer weather, but then by August I reverse back to cold and snow fantasies.

Yeah Aug/Sep I'm watching GFS for fantasy cold fronts. By April I'll be praying for an early pop up storm

At first, old man winter was a young dude with fire in his eyes and a competetive spirit. He was simply going to win no matter what the heat was going to deliver. He had the energy, drive, passion, and wits to defeat warmth. Then old man winter became a statesman. He was old enough to be a "get off my lawn" kind of guy, intimidating and scaring young heats whenever they came around. He always had a shotgun and no trespassing signs. This was the 80's, and old man winter was the type of man you didnt want yourself or your kids to be around. Now, he is just an old man in the rest home. Losing bingo matches and getting his meds. Pretty soon in a couple of years, he'll be gone, and so will our snow.

Lee trough says what
 
Y'all said y'all wanted some more GSP severe thunderstorm warning data? Great! Cause I just happened to use IEM to find out how many svr tstorm warnings had been issued for each county in the GSP CWA over the 36 year period of available information from 1/1/1986-12/31/2020. I also calculated the average warnings per year, and there seemed to be a discrepancy between Greenville, Spartanburg, and Mecklenburg counties and the rest of the bunch. I think this may be because these are (relatively) major population centers, and whichever NWS issued these products likely had a more heightened awareness about these areas. Should be noted however, that those 3 counties led the way in warnings in 2020, granted it may have been for the same reason, but I believe there must be at least some climatological reason. There's also almost certainly severe storms that have been missed over the years, especially on the fringes of the CWA. Again, counties are organized by state and generally from west to east. So, here's the data. Total is the first number, per year is the number in parentheses.

How’s seeing nothing but bare ground and mud like ? Massive drought and heat coming for Iowa this summer . They are capable of heat far more intense than anything we get here despite cooler averages . Get ready for 101 day with a dew of 84 followed by a day at 114 with a dew of 73.

I was here in early July, Early June, and August, never saw higher than 85-86

July 1936 dubuque went from July 5-July 18 never dropping below 100 except one day at a cool 98. One day peaked at 110 with a low of 79. Watch out Mack not even Greenville sc has seen a stretch like that.
