Will NC get a snowy winter? Here's what one state forecast says

The question isn’t whether this year’s winter will have an El Niño pattern. It’s a matter of whether it will be the strongest on record. “The consequences for North Carolina are plentiful, with a pattern change in the cards that could ease our long-running drought, but that could also see more frequent flooding, erosion and coastal overwash ,” according to the North Carolina Climate Office’s winter outlook. A record El Niño puts North Carolina “in uncharted waters,” but it’s likely the state will see more rain and precipitation, with some of the past strongest El Niños producing some of North Carolina’s wettest winters. But that doesn’t necessarily mean snow. “For one, thanks to broader warming trends in our climate, consistently cool weather has been hard to come by in recent years,” according to the Climate Office’s outlook. “In fact, 13 of our past 15 winters have been warmer than the 20th-century average.” The State Climate Office is forecasting “overall above-normal temperatures” and “fewer wintry events and less snowfall.” Snow lovers in western North Carolina may have the best chances of “big snow events.” “From the Triad and Charlotte eastward, the chances of significant snow are lower , and wintry events

North Carolina voted out potentially 58 years of experience. What does that mean?

North Carolina voters decimated their current congressional delegation, electing at least seven new members to the next Congress, and potentially losing 58 years of collective experience. “Congress runs on seniority, and we just lost a lot of seniority from the North Carolina congressional delegation,” said Chris Cooper, a political science professor from Western Carolina University. From the best committee assignments to pork projects to offices on the Hill, losing senior members could have ripple effects for North Carolinians. But all is not lost. “The entire Congress runs based on a combination of majority party control and seniority,” Cooper said. “So North Carolina will once again be aligned with the majority.” North Carolina chose to swap seven House Republicans for seven House Democrats, as the left-leaning party took control of both chambers. “The majority of North Carolina’s congressional delegation will once again be aligned with the majority party control, but in terms of seniority, we will be much lower down the list,” Cooper said. “Sometimes freshmen can get impressive committee assignments. (Rep.) Chuck Edwards ended up on Appropriations in his first term in office, so it doesn’t mean that you can’t be effective, or you can’t get a good committee assignment.

10 Water Moccasin Secrets Most North Carolina Residents Never Knew

Along the edges of North Carolina’s swamps, slow-moving rivers, and quiet coastal wetlands, a dark snake may appear almost motionless among fallen leaves and tangled vegetation. It might be resting on a muddy bank, floating through shallow water, or disappearing beneath a patch of shoreline plants. For people who encounter one, the first question is often whether it is a water moccasin or one of the harmless water snakes that share the same habitat. The confusion is understandable because several North Carolina snakes have dark bodies, similar patterns, and a habit of swimming.

Mystery fish caught off NC coast sets a ‘new species state record,' officials say

A fisherman accidentally set a “new species state record” in North Carolina when he caught an oval-shaped fish that no one on the charter boat could identify. Jim Bickerstaff was about 45 miles off Southport, fishing in 140 feet of water when something on his 80-pound test line started fighting back. The elongated fish he pulled aboard the Oak Island Fishing Charter weighed just over 6 pounds, and was 25.5 inches long and 17 inches around, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries said in a Nov. 10 news release. It has been identified as a unicorn filefish, and it represented a new species for the state’s record keeping. “The truth is, none of us knew what type of fish it was. I’ve been fishing offshore for years, and our captain goes out there more than anybody I know. None of us had ever seen one, and none of us knew what to call it,” Bickerstaff told The Charlotte Observer. “I would love to claim that I’m quite the amazing angler who searched all his life to catch this great white whale, but that would be untrue as I was unaware of this fish’s existence. I actually used the Fish Rules
