The Groundhog Told the Truth!! Fake Spring Will Go Poof Soon Nuff. Winter Southbound Again!

 

Funny thing happened on the way to making a "to do list" for the day... 

I had YouTube running in the background and suddenly Mike showed up and I saw a pic that said Margaritaville and I swear I thought it was a Menu. I thought "oh they changed the menu??" then I realized it was Mike's Weather Page talking on his cruises that he does and realized he was talking weather. I took another sip of my Nespresso woke up a drop more some and realized rarely does his video pop up during the off-season. One minute I'm listening to a music video that my son produced a few years back and the next minute Mike is talking. Wondering if the algorithm changed or if this was a message from the powers that be in the weather world. Either way it was delightful listening to Mike talk, something I should have a degree in but not going there. 

So this was the answer to the question I posed yesterday while I was sitting in bed wearing my summer wardrobe with the windows wide open and that was "Is this Fake Spring" or really Spring. I mean I knew the answer. Who would argue with a Groundhog?  I've been to this rodeo before and I know that especially in the Carolinas we get these warm breezes from the South and everyone thinks it's Spring and then Mother Nature whips the football away and tosses us a few more deep diving cold fronts.

And there it is...

Check out those isobars.

Vertical with cold air flowing South.

 Check that snow storm out! Check out that Coastal Low. I do think that's the way the 2026 Hurricane Season may go... lots of Coastal Lows offshore and way less in the Caribbean going on. Time will tell.

My gosh that snow is tantalizingly close, but Virginia always steals the snow here in North Carolina.

So just saying hello and goodbye for now ...

Don't put your parka or hoodie back in the closet, because the Polar Express still has some runs to make before it switches up it's travel plans!! 

Sweet whatever dreams you want weather wise......or menu wise!!

Ps......Mike does so love old school Southern Rock and Roll so here's a song he mentioned this morning on his Daily Brew! Haven't heard it in years and not one on my playlist though I have danced to it many times. I may be southbound soon too, just haven't figured it out yet time wise as I have a busy dance card between now and Mid April!
