Aw, c’mon joe. Poor Jared has to put up with all of my teasing, with an occasional dose from John from Ruckersville. I bet DT will talk about what we have already seen mentioned here …. a possible big cold snap about the 19th or so.
And it sounds like the Mets fan that you work with, joe, studied Cubs fans earlier.

Doug, I was withholding my guesses to allow others to jump in. But I thought it was later in the year, like April or May. Let me see if I can find something concrete on that in our archives.

Speaking of drought — that’s the focus of my new post I’m about to put up. It’s a bit of a “dry” subject (ha ha) but there’s nothing terribly exciting in our short-term weather. Down the road — I think the second half of January may get very interesting.

OK, despite the overwhelming number of replies, no one guessed when Carvin’s Cove regained full reservoir status during the winter of 2002-03. And probably no one else cares, either, Doug.
The answer was January 2003. Pretty sure that it was in the 2nd half of the month. I was stunned at the time. Without any help from a tropical system, either, I am pretty sure.

My guess is Tolleris will talk about the timeframe
11-12 Jan.
Jared…u remind me of a guy I work with. He-s a Mets fan.
,,when they lose he says they suck..when they win he says theyll suck soon.

… and VT has a 377-acre “Sustainability Center” just down the road from Catawba Hospital.

Im not necessarily sure thats true Doug..
Some things can be extrapolated from the old data..
even if not official..
Not only that..even starting over with a good solid
study can answer a lot of questions such as the heat
island theory.
The Catawba hospital is affiliated with UVA..
..Maybe UVA and Tech could work together off the football fields..
Just a thought.
