Andie Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thought I’d post this in both forums. Very interesting strong solar storm coming potentially viewable as far south as the equator. Dr Tamitha Skov, a space weather physicist tweeted yesterday: "Direct Hit! NOAA & NASA prediction models show solar storm to hit Earth between 12:00 and 21:00 UTC on March 13. "Impact should be strong! Expect aurora deep into mid-latitudes, amateur radio & GPS reception issues, especially near dawn/dusk, and on Earth's nightside!"

Charleston, SC and Myrtle Beach are on my bucket list of places to visit. BTW, that's quite the cross-country move!

Tom Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Spring Forward has officially kicked in....the season starts when models coming in an hour later...anyway, while yesterday was certainly a sunny day, the March sunshine didn't make it feel any warmer in the blustery and cold weather. Spent majority of the day indoors and will try to spend some time today outside enjoying the warmer weather. Prob fire up the grill while I'm at it. #SundayFunday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving all the sunshine this climate seemingly enjoys. It's been partly to mostly sunny most days since we got here almost a week ago, besides a couple days of clouds/flurries. By this time in Seattle it would have probably rained 6+ inches. Got my weather station/website back up and running this weekend. Still some tweaking to do as I had to completely redo my weewx server after the move but it's slowly starting to come along: https://sodakweather.com Winters are typically on the sunnier side, and this has been a very dry and sunny winter for the region. More active years can have some gloomy stretches, though I would guess nothing like Seattle. 1 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time it is partly cloudy and 38 both here and at GRR. There is just trace amounts of snow left from the snow events this past weekend and that should be all gone this week as we get a good taste of early spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Forgot how quiet the board gets when winter is ending. I think our winter, what we had of it, is pretty much done around here. Doesn't mean we couldn't get some sort of wet snow on the backside of a Low.
