1.) Shows you just how unpredictable the weather is. Instead of snow and cold, thunderstorms (some of them could be of the "hit the deck" variety tomorrow) look to be in the cards. This is a massive storm system, as one down in the Gulf, and one traversing over the Tennessee Valley will meet and storms may be a problem as Wednesday rolls on. Folks along and mostly east of I-85 will see the possibility of a few tornadoes according to the meteorologists covering the area. These past few weeks have been very weird weather wise. It's almost like we see lower to mid teens for lows one week, and the next week lows are up in the mid 50's (which will be the case tomorrow night. Snow chances don't look to impressive at all with this system. But, I guess since this storm system is complex...who knows. Just make sure those weather radios are at hand...might need them.

2.) RAIN is on the way...a lot of it too!! The trout are ready for a boost in the streams. Like any other rainy, high water day, the big, bad, black stoneflies come out of the fly box, and the 2x is tied on to that said fly. Sculpins and big gaudy streamers in the Zonker/Woolly Bugger category will be perfect. The Davidson River is at 38 cfs...by late Friday it should rise well over the "water half covering the trout's back stage".

3.) Panthers...Panthers....Panthers....You gotta" love 'em!! Was going to celebrate with Bojangle's, but time did not allow. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, AKA Smash n' Dash were AMAZING yesterday. Carolina played textbook football, and they really showed the NFL what they are made of.
