It's cold, but above freezing-in the mid-forties, and it's drizzling rain, with wind gusts of around 35 miles-per-hour. Same as yesterday, just about 10 degrees warmer(IF you can consider 46 degrees F. to be "warm"). We've been having bouts of torrential downpours; some estimates have had us receiving nearly 8 inches of rain within the past 24 hours, and we have actually exceded the average total rainfall amounts per year for the months of October, November and December combined, within a 30-hour period! A powerful low-pressure system formed off in the Gulf of Mexico and trekked northward, then moved off our Atlantic coast-basically if this thing had formed before November 1, it would have been given a name and been classified as a tropical storm. Later in the season, with the cold air more in place, it would have brought a ton of snow with it, since this is the usual, albeit rare, scenario which is required for South Carolina to get a measurable snowfall. Bottom line-it's very nasty and unpleasant outside, but it's supposed to clear up by tomorrow, which is good news, since the clouds are so thick and so high that they are actually messing with my satellite signal, and I CANNOT have THAT happening during
GWH!
