I agree. Some really pretty places too. Lived in Morgan County WV for 11 years. Fun Winters and summers not so hot.

To me Florida is kind of ugly except along the coast. Once you get away from the coast it gets ugly pretty fast.

It's hard to believe Florida gets more tornadoes than Alabama.

LOL, yeah i didnt want to use the word ugly but i agree. To each their own for sure. I like rolling hills and mountains. I love the Virginia piedmont and I miss a yard full of leaves in the Fall and snow in the Winter. Not sure MB is gonna work out for me.

A lot of spin ups from Tropical systems, and they tend to be weaker.

Virginia is one of the most beautiful states I've been to. I personally like the landscape of Virginia more than NC.

Yeah i really like it too. I love East Tennessee as well, especially at the NC border. Very beautiful.

I love the Northeast part of Tennessee from Knoxville northeast to the VA border along I-81.

NC mountains are hard to beat in the East, but i think Virginia's piedmont is much nicer.

81 is just a nice drive. Especially north of Harrisonburg.

To me much of NC is kind of dull outside of the coast and mountains.

There's nothing like driving along I-81 on a sunny fall day.

Hahaha.. NC cities are mostly in the Piedmont, so that takes away from some of the natural beauty in that part of the state i think. But yeah, the mountains and the coast are the nicest parts of NC.

Wonder if they count the water spouts
I hope Charlotte gets a trace so ------------- can eat sh**
picture me trollin’ ?
This winter has broken Nicky B.
I hope they don't. Tired of hearing him say how there has never been a snowless winter when indeed there have been many without measurable snow. That trace bs is recordable not measurable. But he won't be able to use that anymore after this year
In some ways I do miss it. It takes away all the stress with no expectations. Well, with the expectation of January 2018, when we somehow got a dusting of snow and ZR in the Florida panhandle. That was cool.
It was painful missing several big dogs while I was away, though (three 6”+ storms, one near a foot). Of course, I move back, and through three and a half winters the best we’ve managed is a couple inches, ugh. Is it worth it?
We’re thinking about getting a vacation place in Boone. Go up there when they are expecting snow and enjoy the snow. Come back home and not stress about when it’s going to snow again.
Maybe not (although there have been a few bad outbreaks), but there’s fanfic about terrible Florida tornado outbreaks. ?
2017 Central Florida tornado outbreak
The 2017 Central Florida tornado outbreak was a very unusual tornado outbreak across the state of Florida that occurred on May 23, 2017. This outbreak was the largest not in relation to a tropical cyclone to ever affect the state of Florida—producing 18 tornadoes, including multiple in the...

The Florida panhandle is probably more prone to strong tornadoes than the rest of the state right ?
Tropical cyclones spawn a lot of tornadoes, and the Florida panhandle gets some of the same tornado systems that generate the outbreaks in Alabama and Georgia.
I think so. My memory is failing me, but I recall a tornado outbreak when I was living there in the panhandle that was relatively strong and widespread.

but honestly i dont even consider the Florida panhandle to be a part of Florida. It is more similar to Alabama imo.
This is an expensive hobby if we have to buy vacation homes to enjoy it. ?
As someone who lived there for a few years, in many ways there is truth to that, but the state capital is still up there, hah.

yeah but the further west you go in the panhandle the less Florida-like it becomes. The Central Time Zone part of Florida is what im referrring to.
Oh yeah, and frankly there just isn’t a lot in the panhandle, period. In Tallahassee, it took three hours driving to reach cities of appreciable size (Jacksonville and Pensacola). It’s a vast area without a ton of people. It is surprisingly hilly, too.

I never understood why they chose to put the state capital so far away from the center. The capital should be in Orlando.
Back when Tallahassee was chosen as the state capital, few people lived in Peninsular Florida and most people were in the panhandle. So Tallahassee was approximately the population center (it is in the center of the panhandle). Of course, that’s far from true today and there have been discussions in the past about moving the capital, but that doesn‘t seem likely.
Kind of a similar situation to Washington, DC when you think about it.
This is the way. Except go higher up towards the TN line for a stone cold guarantee
The peninsula exploded once AC became more attainable.

Bastardi is about ready to throw the towel it seems.

The small stretch of the Panhandle probably has some of the prettiest sand beaches and water clarity in the country. Aside from Key West. Vacationed on a remote island in Apalachicola , south of Tallahassee. No light pollution. First time I have ever seen the Milky Way or the Milky Way containing a few million more stars.

Well I guess it’s on to next winter for me after having high hopes for at least seeing flurries this winter even if I wasn’t going to see measurable snow… but I didn’t think it would be this bad but good luck to those that do get some type of winter weather for the remainder of the winter
Shivery wet and slushy lmfao
