Weather for MOTD 2008

I'll update this image every day, M-F, for the next few weeks...

Zip Code 28733, Fontana Dam



<update>

Update for Monday... Better chance of rain on Friday for the show, but things are looking a bit better, overall. This may be the last update as I'm hitting the road tomorrow morning, so here is a link to Weather.com so you can get it for yourself: http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...opnav_vacation

Looks like you better get your good runs on the Dragon in on Thursday, just to be safe!

</update>

Since there seems to always be a rainy day, which day do you think it will be?

No matter what the prognasticators say it will be, in no particular order, Sunny, Cloudy, Stormy, Foggy, Pleasnt, Balmy, Cold, Chilly, and Fair.
If you don't like the weather at the moment, go back inside and wait 2 minutes. It will change.

I'll answer to anything but 'late for dinner'.

Gnatster is right... weather reports are kinda a moot point for the Dragon... the only thing you can predict there well is change, but it's kinda fun watching the date get closer and closer!

Thursday says "Plan a Shopping Vacation". I think that weather.com is telling me to visit the vendor tent that day.

Yep. That's my bet, too... there's a REASON one doesn't schedule a car show at Fontana...

Or you can go on my run to Highlands and visit the antique shops... along with a run down Hellbender, Wayah Road and maybe a drive-thru waterfall!

They usually get it wrong this far out, so showers predicted over a week ahead of time = sunny on the actual day! :D

It's on my list of maybe's. My only concern is how my 1 year old will be after having been in the car for 10 hours the day before.

Ahhh... there's that familiar dragon weather. I was wondering why it said sunny the other day.

Is there a plan to pull the MINIs under the big tent for the car show if it DOES rain on Friday?
