2024 Weather

It was 80 degrees yesterday, it snowed today. 🤷‍♂️ With the warmth the past couple of days, despite the snow coming down heavily, nothing stuck.
 
Decided to stuff it back in the hole in the wall. Don't need it today. Doors open and ceiling fans running full blast. But perfect temperature. Need to scrounge piece of cardboard to cover upper part of window to block the sunlight.

86 beautiful degrees today. Lunch was an assortment of organic berries and a pressed beet juice with ginger. (Although, I prefer Mary Ann…)

Eight inches of rain this week and possibly more coming tonight (scattered storms since it's hot and very humid) and tomorrow.

We only had 3.5" here on the southeastern corner of the state. I've watched over the years and it seems the airflow off the ocean keeps the clouds and precip 3 to 5 miles away the immediate southernmost coast. What we get is usually less than areas only a few miles further inland. Keeps the tourists happy.
 
If the original Twitter poster had done five minutes of research, he'd have learned why 'nobody noticed'. The volcano is a mile DEEP underwater, not wide; it's 300 miles off the coast of Oregon; it's a relatively active volcano that erupts on average every 15 years, most recently unremarkably in 2011 and 2015; and no damage is expected. If you're not a vulcanologist, there won't be anything to notice.

Scientists on alert for massive undersea volcano eruption near Oregon

The volcano is thousands of feet below the ocean’s surface, so it poses no danger to people. But under all that water, a dramatic eruption is brewing.

'Volcano' is a geological term describing any active opening in the Earth's crust that allows passage of materials from lower layers. Most volcanos are seeps or vents or faults; few are massive cones like Kilauea. 'Eruption' is a geological term for any release of magma, ash, gas, etc. It doesn't imply 'blowing its top'; most eruptions are minor, including lava seeping from this same vent previously. Ditto 'earthquake', a term that includes movements of the earth so small they're only noticeable with seismometers.

Scroll his Twitter feed; the guy's a conspiracy theorist.
 
Local news says more than 3 inch rain over last couple days with some areas receiving 6 inches! Storm rolling over RDU right now. Say rain expected until after 2AM.
 
Since 4am, we’ve already gotten four emergency alerts sent to our phones. The airport two miles south of me reported a wind gust of 101 mph at 4:30am. Since then, rain, rain and more rain. Crazy thing is they weren’t even certain we’d get anything. We’re in a moderate risk today, but our main course is supposed to be tonight. This year has been crazy in terms of rain. Not much in the way of hail and tornadoes though.

My bad, I meant to say this year has been crazy in terms on wind, not rain. The rain has only recently become an issue.
 
88F temperature and 75% humidity equals a heat index of 103F right now. Other than an hour of birding this morning, I've been in front of the keyboard inflicting my heat-induced opinions on y'all. Now the usual mid-afternoon thunderstorms are trying to crank up.
