Thursday Weather Update

The warm up continues around the county today. I have already had quite a few of you reach out to me commenting on how nice it feels outside right now. Things are going to stay like this for the most part over the next 6-10 days as we are in the early stages of a January Thaw.

Cold Sunday Forecast

January 8, 2017

If you have stepped outside already today you know that #RoCold is in full effect around the county this morning. It is going to be extremely cold today. I know your kids want to play outside in the snow. Let them. I am letting mine. Just limit their time to at least 10 or 15 minutes.

Extreme Cold Weather or as I like to call it #RoCold has returned

January 7, 2017

Now that we all have enjoyed the snowfall and have had sometime to play in it. The even more serious side of this weather system moves into the county and the area. I coined the phrase #RoCold a few years ago when "Extreme Cold" air moved into the county.

One of my favorite things to do is take the #RoCoDrone out and get some great video and photo's of weather. The best time is one of the rarest times for us in Rowan County. That's when there is snow on the ground. As I was forecasting this storm and reporting on conditions during the storm.
