Yea its cold...i just spent 3 hrs outside in it...thankfully we had a raging fire going
Yeah, I even had to throw on a jacket when I went out this morning. Back to t-shirt now.
Thank god you all get to enjoy all for farging seasons though. Seems like freezing your ass off and shoveling the farging driveway is well worth it to see some dried up, dead leaves.
It was 85 degrees here yesterday. Bitches.

Please man, don't get my posting negative temps as me bitchin about the weather. the snow does get old at times. I appriciate the spring seeing everything green up and planting my garden. The summer is great hanging outside late with the kids. The fall fires and smores as it gets chilly, although raking/blowing the leaves gets old with over 40 fargin trees. The full cycle of nature is awesome, yeah we have to put up with the cold and snow, but there ain't a bit of smog, and the nights are clear so you can see everything, fargin awesome!

I've been good man, look forward to the next time we can hang out at a game. Hey I am probably going to the Flyers/Blues game at the endo f the month, you should fly in for that one ;D
I might be going to that game. Let me know.
straight up? I should know by Wednesday. That would be cool
Cool. Tickets are pretty easy to get right now. Da Blues kind of stink.
It was in the 70's here today.
Wore shorts and a t-shirt.
Thanks, it's good to have all of this information in one place.
Agreed.
I just took my 4 wheeler all through the neighborhood and even raced a kid sleding down a hill. i won

Super Storm 2009? It looks like avery similar set up to the March 1993 storm. I will have a look at that later this morning. Here is the Navy NOGAPS mode, showing a rare monster East Coast storm that will make any snow lover drool. The white line is the arbitrary freezing line with snow to the left. This is a heavy snow set up for us and all the way down to NORTHERN FLORIDA! Please remember, this is not set in stone! However, it is a definite possibility, as the odds of a moderate snow storm seem to be going up.

None of this is even remotely interesting.
there nothing more interesting and exciting to follow than a possible february nor-easter...we all cant live in boston (nor do any of us want to) where you get 20 inches of snow a month
it would take a week or two for philly to recover from this.
yesssss

I'm very excited that you guys might see snow this year. How delightful for you.
ha
on the reals tho i cant remember the last time we even had 3-4 inches of snow...its been years
Over the past six weeks we've had five storms of 3 or more inches of snow. Three of those storms involved 6+ inches. And one brought over 10. Toughen up.
I miss New England. I heart snow.
i want four feet...i love snow more than anything

That game farging sucked. Snowed so much and it melted on impact, it was basically rain
we had a good 2 ft in feb. 2002. i was living in philly at the time, yet i got stuck in Delaware for 4 days. im ready for mad snow. if they call state of emergency you can ride 4 wheelers on all roads legally. bring it!

6-10 for philly.
probably enough to cause monday to be crazy and most of tuesday. i was hoping for 2 feet so society would be shut down for the week. oh well. suck my meatcicle god you fargng hack.
Luv me some corned beef and cabbage.
The grocerystore sucked ass, fargers running around like a hurricane is coming.
on the news they said we might get "thundersnow". awesome
COmin down good now. Not covering the roads yet.
Ain't seen a flake yet in NE Philly
its showing pretty heavy down here in ceciltucky
We're supposed to get a foot here in South Jersey...and we have an inch on the ground already.
They said between 9pm-6am its supposed to snow 1-2" an hour. We're in the area that will be hit hardest.
Sweet.
and now it's coming down, but not laying
i was in richmond this morning and it starting snowing hard on my way back up here. now i'm back in dc and it hasn't done shtein except drizzle a little bit.
snow is comin down like rain here, perfect snowy night
nothing on the roads or sidewalks, but my car is nice and covered
go north philly
we are missing out on the fun once again here in lancaster.
farg you amish loser
We're pretty much buried. Our snowfall total (8") on Channel 6 was the highest and a town about 5 miles away had 3 inches less. LOL
We're supposed to get another 5" in the next few hours before it stops...and its windy as hell.
great day to be a kid
Man, we have at least a foot on Delmarva, and it's still coming down, and when I say coming down, I mean it looks like a blizzard outside my window.
I really wish you all would shut up.
go dig your Prius out and leave us alone
That shtein is staying buried. I've dug the farger out enough this winter.
Today would be a good snow day...and normally I would trumpet the fact that its gonna be in the 70's and sunny...but I would kill for 14" of snow right now
Looks like a whole two inches of snow here today.

Now I'm thinking with portals. I'm going to get my Aperture Science Hand-held Portal Device, drop one portal down on my walkway, and then the other on the car port of the abandoned house across the street. Then when it stops snowing, I'll go sledding through the portal on my walkway.
We got about 6-7 in Lanc right now...cleared up, but now it just got cloudy and started to snow again. If we get a few more inches I'll load up some snow in the back and park in my garage, don't worry.
I will however be out on my 4 wheeler after work today. Finally a good snow to ride in :yay :yay
I almost worked up a sweat shoveling the few inches of snow we got here. Beats nothing, I guess.
The best way to shovel snow is to wait for Mother Nature to do the work for you. Shoveling for yourself farging sucks
Or I could pee on it.
Shoveling Snow and Ditch Digging go to the same family reunion. They never fail to bring me as a guest, good times.
I've been wondering, since you started living the Office Space Dream, if anyone burned down your last place of employment.
You can't burn down the whole world, unfortunately.
After watching The day after tomorrow last night for the 1 billionth time, maybe Dennis Quiad is right. It's stinkin snowing outside my house right now, and the Accuweather is calling for 3 to 4 inches of snow tonight. What the farg. We haven't taken our plows off at work, cause two weeks ago we had to plow about 3 inches of snow off the lots. I want spring dng it, and I want it now!!!! It's April, we had more snow last year, but I can't remember an April snowstorm like this before.

32 degrees today, FML
61 high today, slight chance of showers. this is following about a week of 75+ degrees and sunny. i gotta admit, that the spring weather out here in the desert has been nothing short of spectacular other than some occasionally heavy winds. unfortunately, we've probably only got a few more weeks of nice weather before the temps start climbing up into the mid-high 90's and higher. i got out here in mid september last year and and the temps were over 100 until the middle of october.
88 and sunny all weekend bitches.

For real.
maybe thats why he invited munson...of course he couldnt have cigarettes there either and the coke would have to be caffeine free
I'm taking my drinking to the bar tonight MDS, sorry.
But if I somehow end up in Philly, I'll make sure to stop by, beat you in some beer pong, take a shtein on your floor in the shape of swastika, and do a line of caffeine free coke off your girls ass crack.

I fight with the wifey, except i'm the one who wants AC, she would rather sweat it out. farg that, i make good money, and need to sleep, not sweat and think about how i could be sleeping in the cold.
I still haven't put the AC on yet this year. Unbelievable. It's been one of the nicest seasons I can remember in almost 20 years of living here. 80 degrees in the day and 60-65 at night usually with a beautiful breeze coming off the ocean.
I have no doubt we're going to get pummeled with hurricanes this summer. That's usually the way it works here.
the weather has been pretty damn nice out here over the last couple of weeks. turned the ac on last weekend during for a few hours because the temps got up into the 90's but other than that, it's been completely comfortable just opening some windows and the patio door.
we dont pay for electric because peco doesnt seem to care so let it rain with ac baby

Interesting. Its the opposite with me. My girl is ALWAYS cold. I can't sleep unless I have the air on set to 70. But she buries herself in about 20 blankets. I keep it at 75 during the day, but at night it has to be at 70.
And speaking of electric bills...I haven't gotten one in 6 months.
I've called Direct Energy about 5 times and still nothing. So I've been sending in 50 bucks every two weeks to have a credit on hand for when they eventually send out that big bill.
$50? Our electric bill is $200+ every month and we live in an apartment. PECO sends us a letter telling us they're shutting us off if we're even 1 month behind. Even when we don't run the air/heat it's still the same. We went away for a week on vacation once so I unplugged everything thinking I could save a few bucks, but bill was just as high. I have all the energy saver light bulbs and crap too. I think the problem is our apartment complex, because other neighbors have complained that their bill was also ridiculously high. When I lived in SD our monthly bill for a 2 bedroom apartment was around $50.
We had to turn the AC on last night because the upstairs was 85 degrees in the house. Its freakin April and we have the AC on.

$50? Our electric bill is $200+ every month and we live in an apartment. PECO sends us a letter telling us they're shutting us off if we're even 1 month behind. Even when we don't run the air/heat it's still the same. We went away for a week on vacation once so I unplugged everything thinking I could save a few bucks, but bill was just as high.

Yeah, something is fishy there. You should request that they come out and check your meter. Normally my bill is about 65-80 bucks a month. One month it shot up to 130 and I had them come out and check the meter and it was jacked up.
I have a 2 bedroom apartment that faces north, so I don't get the sun in the morning or afternoon so it doesn't get too stuffy in here. That helps keep the bill lower.
I'm going to send 50 every two weeks, so when I get the bill whatever the difference is will not be that high. I'm shocked they haven't sent me a bill even after I've called about 5 times telling them they haven't billed me.

There's a Tornado in south west Chest Country right now....Chester and Cecil counties are under a tornado warning, I wouldn't be surprised if that spreads to New Castle County before it's all said and done.
They said it was about 12 miles west of Newark. Careful out there SB and others.
not good for trailer dwellers such as yourself....get mom out of there and up to bingo a little early tonight
If you could come up with something new, you might be funny.
Then again I wouldn't expect someone with the taste in movies you have to be at all funny.

it's a scientific fact that trailer parks are tornado magnets so you really might want to consider weighing the house down with cinder blocks and getting all of the pink flamingo yard ornaments inside where it's safe. unfortunately, there's not enough time to save the make shift wind chime made out of hub caps and beer cans.

But I'm sure when you say it, you're super cool and definitely black. All the boys in the hood love you for it.
youre a 15 year old half wit from delaware so excuse me if i find it almost impossible to believe that you could be sure of anything
i'm sure of one thing, this thread is teh suck.
we're getting a good thunderstorm right now....pressure dropped like a rock...all the curtains on the house got sucked to the screens and then POW it busted open with hail and providential downpour....farging awesome
What part of the biosphere do you live in where you notice a drop in pressure?
all the curtains getting sucked out the house is a pretty good indicator hombre
but yes, you can feel atmospheric pressure change rapidly...maybe this sort of thing doesn't happen in hell a?
Not really...its usually a chilly 70 degrees constantly. The only pressure I notice is from my leg joints whenever I try to squat out bat wings during hot weather.
I get the worst headaches when its going to rain and the pressure changes like that.
Its about to storm something fierce here too.

This weather is awesome, hopefully my electricity cuts out soon so I have absolutely nothing to do.
I often wondered who people are complaining too when they complain about the weather. I'd say religous folks are complaining to god but I think they're too paranoid they'll get struck by lightning. When I lived in SD it rained for a week straight, first time in like 20 years, and this civilian lady that worked at the hospital said "you know, we pay all this money to live here for good weather and this is what we get". I wanted to bitch slap her.

Don't forget potatoes. Or as us shore rednecks like to say, maters, taters, lopes and kern.
Really though, it's something about the climate, and the suffering humidity around here that makes for great tomatoes.
There's only one indisputably great tomato and it comes from New Jersey. And I would gladly kill all of you for a bushel of them.
we have an Aerogarden, had 3 tomato plants growing, ended up having to plant them outside since they got too big for the aerogarden. They've been on swoll over the past month with all this rain, and now if it doesnt rain for two days, they wilt. farging things are delicious though
ya' have to water them sometimes. Doesn't make them grow but it'll keep them from wilting.

The chance that you've never had a NJ tomato is zero unless you don't buy tomatoes at all.
NJ tomato's are the best, its the aids and pollution.
Our neighbor at the beachhouse has some great tomatos, he throws fish heads and other leftover fish parts on the soil as fertilizer. Probably the juiciest tomatos i've ever had, and great flavor.

The only whole tomatoes I've ever bought in the winter are those hydro's, grown in greenhouses. Maybe I have had those kind from Jersey, I don't really know.
So you don't buy them when they're in season? Maybe you haven't had them then.

So the beaches are farged right now. GMA is reporting from the delaware beaches where 20 footers are slamming the beach. The dunes were farged up 3 weeks ago in the last Nor Easter. My beachhouse may be oceanfront by tomorrow. TWC is reporting from Cape May, its a big weather story since this nor easter is the perfect storm supposedly the way it formed
Maybe if you gave strangers on message boards and their friends free run of the house for a weekend god wouldn't punish you this way
farging socal cracks me up. maybe a week or so ago i was watching one of the local la 11pm news and when the weather segment came up dude was talking about how overnight temps were expected to drop into the low 30's. he then proceeded to issue a "frost warning." i know people in socal aren't used to the cold and things go absolutely nuts on the rare occasion that it snows, but i didn't know that people needed to be warned about the potential for having a little frost on the windshield in the morning.
FROST! very dangerous stuff.
I'm sure the stores were packed with people buying bread and toilet paper.
it snowed in the desert last winter. nothing major, but a nice 4" coating. everything was shut down for 2 days including the base. i wish i had a plow for my 4runner. i'd have made crazy loot from the city.
It's been raining on the shore for 4 days straight. Finnally looks like it might break this morning. I hope so. The Kent Narrows is just about under water.
you live by there Shorebird? I love it down that way, great boating
I'm 3 min. away from the Narrows. It's a nice place in the summer, lots of boaters and bikini's. I have to think though, that one of those hurricances is going to come north and take a hard left at the Chesapeake. I'll have to head for higher ground when that happens.
nice man, its a beautiful area down there.

They are calling for snow here tomorrow. I doubt any sticks because the ground is probably still too warm, and if it did it would only be a dusting. But it is hilarious to see the local weather people get fired up about this.
One of my pet peeves is when newscasts in snow areas, like Philly, have all day coverage of snow storms. The obligatory shots of the salt trucks getting ready to roll from the PennDOT yards, the shots of the empty snow shovel bins at Home Depot (why do they sell so fast, don't people keep their old ones?), and of course the idiots who go crazy at ACME for milk, bread and eggs.
All these hicks down here will shtein themselves trying to drive in snow or ice. I'm not even gonna try to drive anywhere tomorrow if it coats the roads or ices up even a little bit.
Global Warming is complete BULLshtein, nice e-mail scam!
There was a dude standing on the corner with a sign "GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE" and screaming at cars.
the global warming nutbags are trying to use the same fear mongering tactics that bush used for 7 years. of course, that doesn't mean that global warming isn't real, because i think it is. but at the same time, i think that at least part of what we've been experiencing in terms of climate change is a natural "evolution" of our planet, the atmosphere and the environment. throughout history, the earth has been hot, it's been cold, it froze over and then it melted. are we as people affecting the environment? of course we are. but make no mistake about it, the earth's climates will change again and will continue to do so from now until the end of time and whether people inhabit the earth or not. the problem is that our vehicles, factories and a 30 year obsession with aqua net have helped expedite the whole warming process.
anyone who doesn't realize that is either living in a false reality or is simply too dumb/ignorant to accept it.

just looked on weather underground at the latest NAM model and it shows a historic storm.......has a 972mb low parked off the delmarva.....if you process that literally its shows 3+ inches of liquid.....i dont think we get 30 inches of snow but having the nam model say this is promising if you love snow...best case scenario is a widespread 1-3 feet from dc to philly with complete whiteout conditions for several hours on sat
ill bet you andre igoudalas loser glasses you get a coating and a lot of rain
the nam historically overestimates precip amounts...but even if you cut it in half thats still 15 inches...i predict most of the middle atlantic from dc to philly gets 10-14 or more
thank you, hurricane schwartz
can't wait to ride 4 wheeler in this snow. riding roads ftw!
pennsyltucky isnt going to get nearly as much...this is a classic coastal noreaster
theres a very good chance north carolina gets more than the northern philly burbs
Just says snow showers, didn't give amounts. Well we better get some damn snow!
i'll be down in Chincoteague, i love driving in the snow, just not for 4 hours
just look on the net at all the models...all the ingrediants are in place to make this a historic storm.....this looks like every huge noreaster weve ever had...doesnt automatically mean you get a great storm but without all the necessary ingrediants you never do...the models today compare with the top 5 biggest storms on record...
you never wanna over do this because we all have been lucyed by on snowstorms many times...but the planets are all in order and that rarely happens...if this thing plays as it should...1-2 ft should be the norm
i'm jealous.

A powerful East Coast storm will clobber the mid-Atlantic region later Friday into Saturday. Heavy snow from western North Carolina to southern New Jersey will cause a serious disruption of travel. Roads will turn icy and snow covered, and major airports such as Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International will have lengthy flight delays. Snow accumulations from central Virginia to Delaware will be as much as 10 or 12 inches.
Along the coast, there will be strong gales, major coastal flooding and beach erosion. Friday night into Saturday, winds from Cape Hatteras to Atlantic City may exceed 50 miles per hour at times. This storm will hit the same portion of the coast that was devastated by strong winds and flooding back in November.
How much snow will fall in New York City and southern New England remains uncertain at this time. Our latest snowfall forecast is for significantly lower amounts, but that idea might have to be scrapped. Storms that become as strong as this one will often spread heavy precipitation farther north than expected.
We've go another day to figure that one out. In the meantime, plan on a big snow through the mid-Atlantic region beginning later Friday.
gonna be fun getting to the game.

A dorky buddy of mine who works at noaa.gov just sent me this:
As I suspected, the early morning model runs were missing key initial
conditions which resulted in a more southerly storm track and weaker
storm than is now currently being anticipated. All the key pieces are
"on the board" for a MAJOR winter snow event for Mid Atlantic. At this
time, the National Weather Service is "only" calling for 3-7". This is
a significant underestimate and I expect major warnings to go up in
the next few hours (coming out around 1 pm I would guess).
This storm will be starting earnestly between 11 am and 1 pm tomorrow
(lighter snows expected before this). Snow will begin falling rapidly
thereafter and accumulations will begin immediately. Road crews will
only be able to keep up with this early on (say between 3-6
pm) but then
the combination of accumulating snows and high winds will begin to
make travel difficult and then hazardous. I am expecting 10"-14"
or more in
total. 5-6" by about 7 pm (more to the south) and continuing
throughout Saturday night. Total amounts are irrelevent since strong
winds will be blowing the snow all over the place making it impossible
for road crews to keep up, especially overnight. Once staffs are in
place Saturday afternoon, they need to be prepared for few
reinforcements (morning staffs may NOT be able to get in Sunday
morning).
Normally, such a strong storm would draw in warm air from over the
ocean ESPECIALLY at this time of the year. This will NOT happen as the
storm will be occluded (wrapped around itself) thus not drawing in air
from outside of the system. In addition, as the storm explodes
(strengthens
rapidly) it will slow to a crawl which could make my 10-14"
prediction
seem tame. We could easily get more than that.
The key now, however, is to focus on the timing. Travel will be
DANGEROUS tomorrow afternoon through much of early Sunday.
Be prepared
to hunker down. NO TRAVEL will be worth the risk. Get your chores done
today and EARLY tomorrow keeping in mind that a lot of people will be
doing the same.
I will tweak this forecast if necessary later tonight and, perhaps,
early tomorrow morning. It is always possible for models to "bust" but
this event has been carefully watched for the past 5-6 days and,
although the models did not pick this up until recently, model
tendencies (errors) whereby such a storm pattern could be missed early
on were noted early this week and this scenario was being discussed
quietly in meteorological circles. Thus it came as no surprise when
this monster "suddenly" appeared in the model solutions. So confidence
is high.

I shelled out a grand for 4 sick tickets to the game this weekend. I'm walking 25 miles to the stadium if I have to.
thats what i'm saying.. luckily i only live a few miles off of the expwy/42 which should be paved by then.

If I lived closer, it wouldn't be a problem. The funny thing is, we should be spared the worst of it. It will get worse - pretty quickly - as we approach the city, though.
Ah, well...nothing to do but watch and make a game-day decision, I guess.
sus, you got a 4x4? If so nothing to worry about unless you drive like a woman. This definitely does remind me of the playoff game against the vikings where we got that huge snowstorm on saturday.

Digging car out of small side street in Center City house parking spot? 2 hours
Driving through the barely plowed streets in Philly to the highway? 1 hour
Trying to find parking in the Wach lot that wasn't covered by 10 feet high piles of snow? 1 hour.
Watching the Eagles win their NFC Championship game in bitter cold and snowdrifts? Absolutely PRICELESS.

So since the magic demarcation line on your map runs literally through Doylestown I could get 3 inches or I could get 9. Being a meteorologist is the easiest job there ever was.

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EST SUNDAY.
SNOWFALL WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES TODAY WITH RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES
AN HOUR POSSIBLE. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE 12 TO 20
INCHES. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW
JERSEY... INLAND DELAWARE AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND.
HOWEVER... ALONG THE COAST OF DELAWARE... RAIN IS FORECASTED WHERE
TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN ABOVE FREEZING. THE RAIN WILL CHANGE TO
SNOW THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES DROP. SNOW ACCUMULATION ON THE
DELAWARE COAST IS FORECAST TO BE 4 TO 6 INCHES.
THE SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...COMBINED WITH NORTHEAST TO NORTH
WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS 30 TO 40 MPH WILL PRODUCE AREAS
OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS COULD
OCCUR.
WINDS ALONG THE COAST COULD GUST UP TO 50 MPH DURING THE HEIGHT
OF THE STORM AND A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE
ACCUMULATING SNOW...STRONG WINDS AND COLD TEMPERATURES WILL CAUSE
DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH GREATLY REDUCED
VISIBILITIES AND TRAVEL SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
Got a good 4 inches here in Pennsyltucky already, and no signs of the snow letting up. That was supposed to be our total from the whole storm, through to tomorrow morning.
Is Action News on the scene? Are they doing all day coverage with stupid shtein like viewers photos, viewers send in their snow totals and dumb shtein like that? The whole weatherman on camera with his sleeves rolled up and an exasperated look on his face like he's just been through 17 hours of surgery?
It's clear and sunny and 60 right now.
I'd kill to be in 18" of snow. I'm jealous.

yes...all of the news channels were doing it this morning, but now its gone into the sporting events on network so they just break in from time to time.
Not even an inch on Central Jersey yet...hope it stays that way.
yeah, this storm sucks. i'm north east of the city and i don't have shtein
lol @ souderton
FOX29 had a guy from Great Britain walking around in shorts
We have 7-9 in. here on Delmarva and they're calling for 12 more. It hasn't let up at all, coming down so hard it's a white out.
I'm by Washington Township and we have probably close to 5 inches already. Its funny cause the roads are already awesome and there's still another 12-16 inches on the way.
This is going to be pretty epic.

this was about 3 hours ago and its almost doubled since
Pics here won't even do it justice....because the wind is blowing so hard, parts of our yard look like its 3 feet of snow, parts look like its 8 inches of snow.
Its crazy deep in some spots around my neighborhood. Took the dog for a walk and it was as tall as him in a few spots. I'm making chili today and drinking my face off. Happy I'm not trying to drive home from va
Disappointing here so far ~ 25 miles north of Philly we have about 3 inches.
like pg said.. with the wind blowing its hard to get an accurate read on exactly how much but its definitely beasting here in southern jersey. i really hope 42 is cleared up for the game tomorrow.. good thing they pushed it back to 4:15.
Still falling at dusk in my part o' the world.

All these neighborhoods look like exact replicas of the ones around here.
We're at 11 inches here in Wilmy according to ABC, and the worst part of the storm is supposed to be the next few hours. Weather channel says expect another 5-8 inches. 18 inches of snow in 24 hours...nice
We're still between 4.5-5 inches, though we're still supposed to get around a foot. I keep waiting. :boo

Your neighborhood looks like Delaware.
Yeah, it does, at least the part of Delaware without the double wides.
That'd be north of the canal, where I live.
do a two day search and find that i called this way back then
yea im sure you "called it"
Gotta give him his props, he said it had the potential.
But that was also after the weather 'experts' out there had already declared it as such.

Cool pics, specially the ones with the street lights and the trees lining the streets. Haven't had this much snow in a while, since my kids were still in grade school.
hard to tell what that last pic is, but i see what looks like a wheel so i can only assume it's munson's trailer house. i hope the little guy could get back in ok.
hopefully he locked himself out and froze to death.
i parked in the hospital lot down the street from me. city living + lots of snow + philly govt planning = the suck
My dog went nuts when I let him out. Only problem was the snow was so deep my invisible fence didn't work and he took off. There were dogs everywere today. People trying to run them down. Once mine hooked up with the dog down the street they were gone. It was a pain in the ass trying to get him back. Ended up with some wet ass feet 'cause I wasn't ready to go running around in the snow this morning.

Any word on this storm that we're supposed to get on NYE?
http://www.accuweather.com/news-story.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&article=2 (http://www.accuweather.com/news-story.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&article=2)
QuoteA significant snow event might be in the works for the mid-Atlantic region and New England later this week. How it all will unfold is not totally clear yet, but the potential is there.
Wednesday, a storm will track along the Gulf Coast with rain breaking out from Louisiana to Georgia. Thursday and Friday there is a chance that accumulating snow spreads from northern Virginia to Southern New England.
The strength of the storm all hinges on what will be going on to the west. A trailing low pressure system will produce light snow across the southern Plains Thursday, and if that energy should happen to catch up to and merge with the storm forming on the East Coast, we could have a pretty nasty situation by Friday.
The other possibility is that these systems remain entirely separate with one coming Thursday and the other happening later Friday into Saturday.
Story By AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist John Kocet.
Nice. Get shtein faced on Thursday night and go play in the snow.
last i looked, we're gonna see temps of 32 as the low 41 the high, so i wouldnt expect anything other than a sleety mess
yeah, that's what they are saying for DC up through Boston...starting off as a mixture and ending up all rain. Lots of it...and lots of wind.
The wind sounds like it's going to blow my windows out right now.
new years day hockey in a blizzard FTW
they're in a panic if its in rain
Good to see South Jersey is getting rained on. ::) ::) ::)
2 inches at least on the ground already.
I'd rather have snow than rain. We got abut 2 inches here, but its all supposed to pass by this afternoon. Tonight is a full blue moon as well ^-^

Bostons NYD forecast:
Snow showers likely, mainly before 7am. Cloudy, with a high near 36. North wind between 5 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
we had an inch or so of very wet sleety snow fall between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m or so. It's done now, but not melting yet.
I thought we were supposed to get a dusting overnight, and I was surprised that I had to clean two inches of snow off the car this morning. Apparently it also surprised the local municipalities, because they didn't start treating the roads until well into rush hour. The drive to work was, well, interesting.
New Years Eve i went out hunting in the morning, nearly hit a house from the snow being so slippery. Definitely the most slippery snow i've driven in, not sure what it was, but i just couldnt get a grip on the road
-4 when i woke up this morning. Man I forgot how that kind of cold cuts right thru you
anything cuts you is good

we're not supposed to even see the 60's again until next saturday. upper 40's to around 50 for a high and upper 20's for lows all week. that's effing crazy coldness for daytona beach.
Wind seems to have fallen out somewhat this morning. Let the dog out and the door didn't almost rip outta' my hand like yesterday.
that shore is fascinating
Booo!
fargin -8 when i got up this morning! been in a windchill warning since friday night. Fargin bitter, Wood burner has been kicking since saturday morning at 7am. Basement is currently at 83 degrees! shorts and a westy jersey ftw today!
farging whine whine whine. It's winter for christ's sake. Can we delete this thread already?
no
where would people whine about the heat in August if "we" did that?
Global Warming?
On another note, History Channel is in full panic spreading mode, all their programming seems to be around the end of the world and 2012...booom
its snowing again, and it wasnt supposed to last time i watched the news.
another 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow. You gotta love being under a winter storm watch and a flood warning (due to ice jams on the river). at the same time. :yay

almost six inches here and still comin hard

12 inches and rising here.
Down here in Fredericksburg we got about 10". I've got a flight out of Richmond at 5:30 Monday morning. Hoping this doesn't farg that up.
I hate, hate when it snows under 2". What fargin waste of time and resources to have have the crew come in to scrape and chip, plus i need my beauty sleep.
the groundhog saw his shadow, he's more accurate than the weather people
i heard today that he is correct at a 47% rate...which is basically a coin flip which is basically what the real weatherman is
i heard another interesting number this weekend as well
of the top 10 biggest snowfalls of all time in wash dc 9 of them began on a saturday
ive been looking all morning at the models for the supposed storm this weekend and they are going haywire
obviously we are a ways out but all signs right now point to the storm trending along the coast and getting really strong...and the big key is that there is a lot of good blocking in the atmosphere which is supposed to continue for at least a couple weeks...blocking is the process that keeps storms from coming to far inland which weakens them
id put the current totals at 2 feet...snow from late friday night through sunday....this is taking the models verbatim and if you do that the duration and amounts would be similar to jan 96 if anyone remembers that storm....in other words a classic nor easter blizzard
damn, guess i should go hit up the liquor store
maybe it's just because i don't live there anymore, but this year seems like it's been pretty heavy on snowfall in comparison to recent years.

we've gotten more snow this season than past 3 combined. whatever storm you guys are talking about isn't even being mentioned in PA as far as i can tell
if this one holds true to the models (we are still a long way a way) that will make two 20+ inch snowfalls in one season...id like to know how many times thats ever happened

Accuweather is saying that the models are all over the place. Some are saying it could be rain as the temps will be in the 40s. If they drop, it will be shovel-able show.
accuweather is garbage
temperature isnt an issue on any models right now...its all about track and blocking as to how big this will be...the blocking will almost certainly be in the place but the track is a little more up in the air
None of this is insteresting.
did you post that from a coffee house?

Yes. In a turtle neck. With tea. And natives licking my balls.

I looked at the weather channel app on my phone. Just says 40% chance snow saturday for Lanc. The last big storm they were def. calling for snow earlier in the week. Either way I don't care. I just want lots of snow to play in. If its going to be cold might as well make it interesting
I get to the job site first, which means I dig out so all the trades can get in
I been shoveling a lot this year.
all strong like
well I'm not weak
You must be glistening with sweat once your done right? Maybe you take off your top to cool off. The other workers rub your back maybe...then things get messy
snowing in mob town
oh i bet its snowing!
it's snowing men
Men snowballing?
haileluia?
to hell with you
hail freezes over?
I got about 3 inches of hard snow last night. totally
all models still on track and in good agreement for a big one this weekend...i think less than the two feet i was seeing yesterday but 20 inches is more than possible...dc/balt look to be in the sweet spot for the storm with philly being the very northern edge of the largets totals...id say philly is closer to 10-12
we're having a snow party, if you farg this up Havas, i'm blaming you
Some suggested totals from Accuweather for this weekend:
Atlantic City: 11.2
Bethlehem: 4.8
Charlottesville: 9.2
Frederick: 15
New York: 4.8
Philadelphia: 7.3
Oh...and Reykjavik, Iceland looks to have some stray flurries, with temps in the upper thirties. Go figure.
calling for 90% chance of snow here in Lanc sat. No idea on amounts
http://www.liveweatherblogs.com/prometweatherblogs/2/2/2411/HOLY-NAM-BATMAN-
That's a lot of confusing all over the place shtein but the basic gist seems to be we're looking at another 8-12 inches of snow at the least, with a good chance of it being upwards of 24-30 inches.
Sounds awesome, just wish it was happening during the week instead of the weekend.
you get that link from vigy?
if it started with a call to Springsteen rather than GnR, I'd be certain he wrote it
not from me...that guy is way high on the numbers
Good ole' glenn hurricane schwartz on weather channel right now. Saying it's being compared to the '83 blizzard right now by experts.
It looks like no matter what the scenario, south Jersey is going to be rocked again.
Get your groceries now. Main supplies in my house, booze, weed, chips, breakfast meats, ribs, 4lbs ground beef, and more booze. Probably having a snow party with my bro in law and his girl, should be fun getting farged up like we're down at the beach except there's 30 inches of snow on the ground. I'm definitely going 4wd'ing around now
The proper term is Snow-B-Que, you ignorant bastich.
thank god im spending my last 2-3 weeks in philly getting killed by snow. wouldnt have it any other way.
As long as your first day in Texas is spent getting killed by an illegal for your bag of jew gold, I don't think anyone would have it any other way.

its not going to be that bad...much less than the december storm
i love getting snowed in, its fun still. I'm sure once im shoveling all day i'll have a different view
i love snow so much...but i hate getting snowed in...i get cabin fever within the first two hours and then have to go to a bar...theres nothing better than being at a bar in a snowstorm
yeah because getting hammered at a bar and then having to leave is such a brilliant idea. i love it, the bar is the last place i'd want to be
so what is this going to be, 5 inches? nothing big.
the news here is saying 16 to 24 inches.
how about for those of us that arent abandoning our friends and families in philly for another 2 weeks?

bars during storms are raucous liver destroying spectacles that eclipse probably any other time you could ever go except maybe the night before thanksgiving
IGY is 1000% right about this. Bars during snow storms are the farging tits. Everyone is giddy to get farged up and in good spirits. It's always a blast.
great livers think a like
btw the new gfs prints just came out and show 20-24" for dc....20" is probably a mean to use.....the track of both the coastal low and the ull low are basically as good as it gets for a historic storm....it shows a 984mb low off the delmarva....which is strong as farg
this could now be a top 10 all time storm

Greatest storm of the decade, IGY?
the millers crossing of storms
QuoteMid-Atlantic As disruptive as the storm will be in the Midwest and Plains, plan on "no travel" in the Virginias, central and southern Pennsylvania, the Delmarva and much of New Jersey Friday night into Saturday.
Much of this same area will get a foot or more of snow. Accumulations have the potential to reach 2 feet in some areas, matching or exceeding snowfall from the December blizzard.
Since this storm's duration will be less than 24 hours, snowfall rates may reach 3 inches per hour. Storm crews may not be able to keep up.
If you travel during the storm, you will run the risk of getting stuck on the road or waiting for your flight at an airport.
The intense snowfall combined with plunging temperatures and increasing wind are going to result in an all-out blizzard in northern and coastal areas with blowing and drifting snow.
Roads may go from wet to snow covered with near-zero visibility in a matter of minutes.

That would be awesome if true. I'd love to be able to turn off a storm after five minutes of not liking it.

people who hate millers crossing or the wire are either horrible americans or great middle americans
What's the wire?
I disliked both, so I must be the awesomest American ever.
At H Street bars, the more it snows, the more you save
Are you praying for snow? Join the club. If you're able to venture out to H Street NE this weekend despite the coming Snowpocalypse, five bars are banding together to offer a wintry happy hour on Friday and Saturday nights. For every six inches of snow dumped on D.C., you can take a dollar off any drink at Little Miss Whiskey's, Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Hearts Club, the Palace of Wonders, the Pug or Sticky Rice. This means that if the Capitol Weather Gang is right and we get 20 inches of snow, you can subtract $3 from each beer on your tab.

yeah, they're pretty awful. it rains about 2 weeks a year out here and those 2 weeks just passed recently. nothing like going 35 in a 70mph speed zone during a light drizzle. last year when we actually got about 3" of snow, pretty much the entire town shut down.
well the beer distributor and grocery stores were slam packed even before noon today. Not sure how all these people are out at that time of day. Guess everyone is getting off early or didn't even go to work today. Calling for 12-18 inches here.

Snowing like crazy here on Delmarva right now but none of it's sticking...yet.
nothing in philly yet. looks like were only gonna see a foot.
Just started in Lanc. One beer deep!
snowing here in northern MD. My wife is officially retarded as she wants to go to the store, but has no idea what we need. I need a drink asap
your wife got her official retard stamp the day she met you and didn't run the other way
It's been snowing here since 9 oclock this morning. This will be the third snowfall of 8 or more inches over the past two months. Meanwhile Massachusetts, which I moved away from to get away from shtein like this, has had less snow than usual this winter. Motherfargers.

Was that her only other option? Poor broad.
I often feel bad for her, but its the price she pays for being italian
Weatherboy Weather is becoming increasingly concerned about the life-threatening situation unfolding in portions of SNJ/DE/MD including Philly/Baltimore/DC where a widespread area of 1.5-2.5 feet snows are imminent and 2.5-3 feet+ snowfall is possible in isolated portions of this region. This is a crippling blizzard that will create power outages and will strand people for many days until clean-up crews can reach them.
fargin awesome! wish i was seeing that much snow!!!

Pimps be pissed about this weather. The street corners will be empty.
pimps be makin it rain not snow
i'm pretty sure they make it snow too.
it was barely flurrying when i went out a few minutes ago. go big or go home, weather.
we have at least 5 inches in the grass already, the ground didnt start accumulating till around 7pm, and there's at least 3 inches there. So far so good on this call IGY. You guys are getting hit worse, but the heavy stuff should be hitting my parents place around 2am, thunder snow sounds like fun
Its CRAZY outside right now and this isn't even close to the heavy stuff. Easily 3 inches already. Can't see the trees.
we have about 10 right now and like pg said the heavy stuff isnt supposed to come till overnight
ive never seen it snow this hard in my life...it looks like rain its coming down so fast
Not even a flurry here yet.
where the hell are you?
Croydon. Lower Bucks County.

but i just looked you up and it does say snow after midnight

And it didn't start flurries until around 6:30 here.
they bumped baltimore city up to blizzard warning
it's very heavy, wet snow
you guys are on the far northern edge of the big totals tho...we are in the 2-3 foot range
i just tried to take some more pics and i literally cant get anything in focus but snow...its unreal
i shoveled my deck (for the 6th time) then went out and shoveled my drive way which took at most 12-15 minutes...came back in and my deck had at least an inch
Yup, I know.
We got hit the hardest in the last one. Our township had the highest snowfall listed in any of the areas LOL. We had 25 inches here in the December storm.
yeah we had 23 in december but the snow was totally different for that one...it was like normal snow for a long time...ive never seen snow come as hard as its come tonight...like its comning down hard as farg...like rain...but its snow...i cant really describe it
you don't need to bro, i already got that for you
heavy and wet.
dense, even.
yeah im glad you are seeing it because im trying to describe it to friends and fam in philly and i cant do it justice...i wish everyone i knew was here right now...ive now got three more inches on my deck and i shoveled it CLEAN less than a half hour ago
It looks totally different I know. I was noticing that as well. We have at least 5 inches now.
alright this was four minutes ago...

we just switched over to a really fine snow, the really slippery type. Its like powder'd sugar coming out of the sky, except its not cocaine like mussa dreams
Maybe an inch of snow on the ground here now. Exciting stuff.
Getting nailed way out here in western PA. Got at least six inches of the heavy, wet stuff, and there's no sign of it letting up.
0 inches on the ground here in Houston.
All the rain we got the last four days is whats fueling this monster up there. I just talked to my mom and sister and they said its crazy.
we got fargin ripped off in this storm. They were calling for 2-4" and we got ish! I had a guy in on overtime in case we had to scrape and salt the lots due to high school b-ball games. what a waste. in the last hour we finally got some snow :boo
Pummeling down in east falls.
Don't think ill see this shtein in mexico
We already have WELL over a foot and south jersey is supposed to now be in the bullseye....as the storm shifted up adn we're expected to get another 12" today. Making the total around 30" or so.
I cannot see anythign outside as the wind and snow is going crazy.
adding...on the news they just said there are 16" here so far....so another foot coming?
Cnn just said another 10-20 inches is expected in the heart of the storm. :o thats incredible!!
They were calling for 6" to 10" here in Pittsburgh, but as of this morning the region is well on its way to two feet of snow, and it's still coming down hard. I keep losing power, and the region is paralyzed and has been declared a disaster area.
(http://cdawgownd.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/the-pitt.jpg)
I'm dug out for now. Got the old man across the street dug out too. One thing I like about snow is the opportunity to help neighbors. I don't mind the work either.
But holy cow, there's a lot.
Nor'easter coming next week, too.
61 and sunny here.
brrrrrrrrrrr...
At least two feet on Delmarva, and still coming down strong.
Probably two feet here now, but it seems to have stopped. The wind is still kicking it around though. Just dug out some three foot high drifts.
Quoteover 100,000+ are without power with storm-force winds knocking down trees and powerlines as the blizzard continues in NJ/PA/MD/DE. Snow totals in excess of 30" have already been reported in the region. It appears another significant snowstorm will strike the same area during the middle of the week with another major nor'easter possible next weekend.
Quote30-40" of snow is likely from this blizzard in/around DC and Baltimore; 20-30" is possible around Philly and points south/east. Blowing snow is likely with drifts in excess of 4 feet likely in portions of DC/DE/MD.

i love/hate how people with big trucks and suv's think it makes them impervious to the dangers of driving in snow and you see them going up and down the roads and highways at full speed and sometimes even faster than that.
i don't care how much experience you (think you) have or how big and badass (you think) your truck is, driving in snowy/icy conditions means you should leave a little earlier if you need to head out, give yourself a little more time to get there and ease off the freaking gas.
Just picked up and is coming down a LOT heavier again.
watching the nova/hoya game and D.C. doesn't look that bad as far as snow fall. it definetly doesn't look like igy's porch :o
And if you see a kid walking out there, and they want to hang off your tailgate or rear fender or bumper for a fun ride, slow the hell down so they can get a grip.
i'm surprised igy is loving this as much as he is considering everything around him is so white.

just talked to my parents in Hershey, the storm has ended and they ended up with 22". They were supposed to get 7"-10"
Yep...it finally stopped here, too. The wind is starting to pick up.

Got 22 inches here in Newark, snowed in at my girls place. I got a bunch of pictures I'll hopefully put up later tonight, but I don't know if I'll be able to get out of here until tomorrow. The size of some of the snow drifts outside is amazing.
dont bother...no one cares what you got...and fyi 22 is nothing for this storm
lol. munson even sucks at getting snowed in.
every single comment munson makes is worse than the last one.

How far down south are you talking? I've been hearing since the storm started we'd be getting another one midweek on Delmarva. I hope you're right.
DC but not farther than that. Although that could be wrong, of course.
Quoteit's becoming increasingly likely that a fresh blizzard will strike portions of the east coast on Tuesday/Wednesday, with the heaviest snows stretching from Philadelphia, PA to New York City, NY. More than a foot of snow is possible in this area.

farg, bring it on
and then some good rain a couple of days later for some white water canoeing around the neighborhood.
the storm is taqking shape, we are expecting 6-12" tomorrow night in northern illinois before it moves off to the east. Maybe I'll be the coolest posting pics of the storm while I'm out plowing!!

Gotta love Accuweather with the highly technical meteorological terminology... "immoblizing", "dirsuptive", "explodes".
just about every model says 1-2 feet
one other model says 6-8 inches
farger
"Explodes Wednesday" & "Immobilizing" That's got to be encouraging news.

Good storm. Can't wait til wednesday.
The snow was melting pretty good yesterday afternoon. The back roads are looking pretty clear here now.
We got some good melting anywhere the sun could get to the blacktop, but that wasn't enough since most roads are under packed ice. Our street is clear only in front of my alley/driveway, because I actually shoveled the street clean. MLK is apparently still under packed ice, and many side streets are untouched by plows. I ain't going out on the roads today.
just noticed that someone stole my farging snow shovels off my front porch last night.
shame on me for leaving them out I suppose, but farg people all the same.
that sucks dio, we brought ours back in last night for that reason. My dog was barking like someone had gotten on our front porch opened the door and no one was there. Just to be safe we brought them in.
It's crazy how the stores run out of snow shovels every time we have a big storm. What the farg do people do with the ones they bought the last time?
Leave them on their front porches...
LMAO
Sorry about your shovels, Dio. Hopefully you can find something in the next day or so.
I've got some coal shovels so I'm good. You don't really want a wide blade now that the snow is all iced and heavy anyway. Tomorrow however, I'm gonna be missing the snow shovels.
There's shovels on front porches throughout the city. I'm just the unlucky bastich I suppose.
Plow came through about two hours ago and blocked my street with a big pile, then left. So for the past hour and a half I been out there clearing it.
City is asking residents to pitch in and help clear streets. Of course you get a bunch of people bitching they shouldn't have to, what do I pay taxes for, etc. farg them. 30 inches of snow is a problem bigger than government can handle. You want that fire truck to be able to get through, pick up a farging shovel and do some work.
Storms like this bring out the best and worst in people, my neighbors and i all helped eachother dig out. Hell one guy in the neighborhood had a backhoe from his business, and spent most of saturday afternoon/night helping to get the huge snow piles left by the plows. Then you have people like my neighbors who didnt come out of the house until yesterday, and they were throwing their snow into my parking spot. lazy f'ers
The storm also brought out something i've never seen out of my dog, he ran out the door yesterday, and started to attempt to climb a snow pile in the front yard. At least we thought he did, he was standing straight up. He just stood there, and about a minute later walked away, he figured out how to pee standing up. I was impressed
my no. 2, the rott, usually loves snow...bounding in and under and all that. not this time. she's actually intimidated by it.
Our dog still loves it, he's liek a deer jumping thru the snow. He gets a smile on his face just looking out the window at it. We took him for a walk saturday after the winds died down, and he chose to run thru the deep stuff, and bounce thru it all rather than walk in the street that was plowed, this was probably a mile walk. Dummy had snow balls frozen all over his underside, and his paws looked like grapefruits
yep, that's what Maude is usually like. I imagine if I took her down to the Wyman dell where there are sure to be a ton of dogs, she'd be running around. but that's not happening. I got intersections to clear. Ditch Digger to the rescue!
Your ditch diggin skills make you a superhero this winter.

farg, this will be a full whiteout scenario according to this guy.
the latest GFS model just came out and shows 1.25 - 1.50 of liquid hitting the balt to nyc corridor
that means snowtorious BIG will be back with another possible 1-2 feet if these models hold
and that guy is saying the winds will be worst than the weekend storm. How farging crazy has this winter been. Temps are gonna be in the low teens, making the snowfall amounts increase
the thing is that there is still tremndous blocking coming down from greenland that looks to stay in place for weeks to come...this blocking is keeping the fronts more south than a normal winter...so we could be in for a lot more snow still to come after this one tomorrow
looking at the newest NAM that just came out....this storm has a lot more variables than this past weekends...really its still a very fluid situation and its the kind of storm that can screw us....especially at the last minute and give us like 4 four inches (instead of the possible 15-20)...this one is really gonna crush southern new england
having said that it has been our winter and everything seems to want to come together to pummel us
newest NAM, fluid situation, blocking from greenland....who the farg are you?
More to the point, who cares this much about the weather? He's legitimately excited and posting about it constantly while dropping industry lingo. WTF?
im the snowtorious big son...recognize

9 more inches for the snowiest winter in philly history
should be there before midnight tuesday
great
another ten to twenty possible according to Baltimore Sun
QuoteA potentially life-threatening blizzard will strike the major cities of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast this week. 1.5-2.5+ foot snows are likely for Philly, New York City, NJ, and portions of southern CT and southern upstate NY. Heavy snow is also likely for DC, Baltimore, and DE/MD however the heaviest snows will be focused between Philly and NYC. For NJ/PA this storm will be worse than the weekend blizzard.
we could get 20 inches on wed and it would still be 16 inches less than we got this weekend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocV5bGHdYag
I was supposed to fly out to FL Wednesday night but I moved it to tomorrow at 6:30 in an attempt to get out of dodge. I hope the storm holds off till 9 or 10. It will be nuts though, there's still a foot on the ground here. I can't imagine in DC, some areas are literally going to have about 4 feet of snow on the ground if this hits like they're expecting.
JFG, just fargin great.
I've had enough snow, thats all.
Waiting to start this new job and just got a call that told me to wait on a call because it's not known if the government is even going to be operating tommorow, and if we get more snow wednsday, I could be out of work all week. Sucks man.

The jerk face who lives across the street from my Mom is one of those lazy fargs. She moves her car into my grandmom's driveway so the plow can clear the street. What does the bald farg whose never seen a vadge do? Moves his car from in front of his house to in front of hers. I was on the phone with her when she went out and told him to move it.

Lovely. If I had already started this job chances are I'd be on salary and be getting paid anyway, like igy is. My friggen' luck. It's like it's either feast or famine. 5-7 years ago, it couldn't get any better and work was crazy. Now, after the last two years of barely working half the time my savings are depleted to almost nothing while the price of things like gas, electric, and materials, especially ones that are petroleum based have doubled if not tripled in price. The availability of work and jobs go down while the cost of living goes up, up, up. Tires for my truck were $150 a piece for Michelin knock offs. On top of that, my farging heater coil went up! I turn on my defroster and antifreeze fumes fill the cab up. A estimate from my mechanic is upwards of $600. Around $100 for the coil and the rest is labor to take the entire dash out of the farging thing. I say farg it, I'm getting a 6 inch piece of half inch copper and hooking the incoming and outgoing heater hoses together at the firewall so I don't have to breath antifreeze fumes. I'll just rough it till I get some kind of working capital built back up. Not like it's critical to going down the road.
Oh well, at least my 16 year old daughter finally has a job waiting tables. That'll lighten' the load a little.
Almost forgot, farg the snow.
it's gonna be cold in that truck on your way to work in the mornings, christ
You ain't kiddin'. You don't realize how cold the steering wheel gets. Have to wear gloves.
But, at least the Buick has heat. Just can't drive it to work.

that's the one thing i hate about this time of year in the desert.....temps get up in the 60's during the day like you've got down in la, but at night, it still gets down around freezing.
if there's one thing i can't stand, it's dramatic temp changes from warm to cold......that shtein literally makes me sick.
although i will say that in the summer, the evenings and nights are unbeatable. mid 70's - low 80's with no humidity. perfect weather for lounging on the patio with my favorite spirits.
snow falling
the knockout punch begins in Baltimore
nothing yet in Lanc...
Not supposed to start here until 4-6pm. We're getting a double shot....some tonight but the knockout punch comes tomorrow.
Still melting here.
it stopped
just a flurry I guess
I'm on the edge of my seat.
No pants?
i'm on the toilet. i farging love laptops.
who dat say :CF no good?
Comin dahn pretty heavy here.
yeah, it's going for real now
i just walked out to have a smoke a few minutes ago and during my 50ft walk from the door to the smoke pit, it went from clear and sunny to thunder with a heavy down pour. now i'll have to make it a point to watch the local news tonight so i can get a full recap of the traffic accidents and homes lost during mud slides.
must see teevee bitches!
the weather world revolves around us not you
elitist east coast snob
nothing here yet.
Nuttin' on DMVA. Ominous sky though, looks like it could dump down anytime.
been going here for bout an hour. im getting drunk tonight. shocking!
nothing in the Trenton area yet
It's starting now.
I have no life.
holy shtein Im scared
I should have just said 'the shore'.
Let that be a lesson to you.
Every day is a lesson when you log onto CF.
I think we need more updates by location.
Havas, check in!
Munson and MDS, report!
A light snow has begun to fall, Sir!
And just like that, a light snow has turned into a fast, steady downfall that has already coated the sidewalks and pavement.
im too lazy to look out the window
at 7:45 there was no snow at all coming down. 10 minutes later, the ground was coated. Bizarre.
I'm pretty sure its goin to rain here all night...and it should stop by tomorrow evening.
That's the weather here in the west coast, back to you miserable nothins out east.

91 to 71 to 60 to 10 to 605 to 210 to 110 to 91....then back to 91 to 110 to 210 to 605 to 10....with probably the 15 and 91 to go.
Hemmeroids at age 33...here I come!!
are those the number of dudes you plan on banging each day this week?
Yes. Hence the hemmeroids.
i know it's fun to make fun of cali and their traffic, earthquakes and freaks running around venice, but all this rain that we've been getting out here in recent weeks is seriously farging some people up.

just put on my dvr of the sixers game about ten minutes ago and once again the damaja is catching wreck
Its snowing in South Jersey like a mother farger right now.
drunk driving is the single most irresponsible thing a person can do. keep it up rich boy.
only if you are a bad at it....i on the other hand was always the designated drunk driver
there's really no such thing as a "good" drunk driver. just like people think they can dance, sing and shoot pool better when they're loaded. you really can't. it's just that you're too loaded to realize that you still suck.
Quote from: Sgt PSN on February 09, 2010, 09:34:20 PM

This.
Lost a good friend of mine due to a douchebag who thought he was the best drunk driver around. Douchebag drove my friend's car right into a tree, left the scene (and my friend to die of his injuries) so his blood alcohol level went down before going to the cops.
granted i havent drank and drove more than two times in the last ten years but dranki drove on almost a nightly basis for ten years before that and never so much as ran over a house pet
if you drunk drive into a tree than you shouldnt have been driving in the first place...or you shouldnt have been drinking
there's really very few things i actually frown upon people for but making the decision to go out and get loaded without planning for a way to get home is inexcusable. even more so when the cab fare is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
the only plus to your plan is the fact that the streets are empty due to the blizzard so if you decided to wrap yourself around a tree, you likely weren't going to take someone else with you.

don't get me wrong.....i'm not going to preach about this shtein and act like i never got drunk and drove home. because i did. i figured out how horrible of an idea it was when i was about 24 and let a buddy of mine drive because he was "the least drunk" and damn near killed him, me and our buddy in the back seat. and this is a guy who i rode with countless times when he was wasted. but from then on, i've made it a point to have a plan in place. either a designated driver, cab fare, going to a bar within walking distance, whatever. hell, even when i drove up from north carolina to go to eagles games, i might tie one on in the morning during the tailgate, but i never drank inside the stadium or after the game and i always waited in the parking lot until my bac went down (i actually keep testing strips in my glove box and if i'm over the limit, i either wait it out or call a cab or a friend). hell, one game i went to i'm pretty sure i was the last person to leave the wach lot. lol.
for every person that drives drunk and gets in a wreck or caught by the cops, there are literally hundreds who make it home safe. it doesn't mean that they are any better behind the wheel, it just means that they got lucky. i'm telling you, as someone who counsels people on alcohol abuse that's usually related to a dui, it's absolutely inexcusable. and all it takes is just 1 accident. one pot hole. one little sheet of black ice. 1 dog or deer jumping out on the road and your delayed reaction will cause you to over correct and you're toast. $20 bucks in cab fare is all it takes to save yourself over $10,000 in fines, legal fees and jail time. it ain't freaking worth it dook.

I used to think I knew exactly also, 'till one rainy night driving my rednecked up f350 with a 4 inch lift and 12:50's all around, hit the off ramp to find a older couple, lost, backing down the off ramp. I hit the brakes and swear I picked up speed. Crumpled up that Corolla like a empty beer can. Lucky I didn't kill 'em. Went to jail for that one and haven't done it since. Got the local taxi on speed dial. My point is, no matter how good you think you are, it doesn't have to be you that screws up.

The Chugster's line about slaloming through trees made me raff.
If the mid atlantic got rains on top of all that snow, there could be floods and mudslides like that
Getting bad fast here. Gov Markell already declared a state of emergency for Delaware. So that's 3 times in a 7 week span.
Damn, if he keeps surrendering to the weather we're gonna have to rename the state New France.
Nice one big brother.
I've read a page of this and will defend Havas some, I drank and drove from 16-26 pretty often. Its like anything, if you can do it well, you can do it better. The difference is Drinking when your plastered out of your mind, and actually having that cutoff switch in your brain to say i have to get a cab or take my keys. I rarely do it, its mostly at wine dinners and shtein now where the wifey is too drunk to function. Never the less Havas is right, during snow storms, you have a million outs, no one on the road, if you do sideswipe a pole, just walk away and say that you feared being stuck out there all night wiht the overload of a blizzard. Just dont drive dumb.
Oh, and i was All State Drunk Driving in HS
at least someone doesnt have a corn cob up their anus
Everyone here has driven drunk at some point. But yes, there is a difference between being drunk and being destroyed. It's still not something you should do either way.
Got some early pics....all the places where tar is supposed to be were completely cleared off and plowed earlier today.

Logan Tavern. Its only 2 blocks from my hotel and has 2.75 miller lites during happy hour.
its totally stopped now I think....anyone know when it will start up again?
not sure, but when it does its gonna be nasty, we're in blizzard warnings and have a special alert to how bad this shtein is gonna get.
so we have 37 inches already on the ground...and the news says another 12-15 on the way. Where are we supposed to put it?
Just started snowing again, really really big flakes, and its coming down heavy
My old man is currently in jail for drunk driving. Something like his 8th arrest.
So, are any of you dead this morning from the snow?
you should be so lucky
maybe, WBAL just called Cecil County, MD "The Clobberzone" with an expected 20 inches today. FML
Calling for 24 inches here in South Jersey today.
Right now, it just started sleeting like MAD. This snow will be a bitch to shovel when all is said and done. Heavy wet snow on the bottom, 2 inches of ice in the middle and then 2 feet of snow on top.
Sounds like a bad ice cream sandwich

We keep losing power
No sooner did I shovel up the crap on the ground (ice, slush, snow) did the actual storm start. here comes the blizzard. Snowing like MAD all of the sudden.

i assume by "out there" you're talking about people outside of our cozy little :CF community, because i don't really think i've seen anyone here bitching about that.
at any rate though, i completely agree with your post. you guys are getting hit with one of the heaviest snowfalls ever for that region. and from reading some of the updates here and catching blurbs about it on the news, the thing that seems to be so amazing about these recent storms isn't just the amount of snow, but it's how quickly it's falling and accumulating.
but some people will never be satisfied either. they bitch about paying taxes and not having clear streets during one of the worst storms ever, but had the local govt's been more prepared and brought in an army of plows, salt trucks and workers and the storm ended up being of minimal impact, then they'd bitch about wasting money preparing for a storm that failed to live up to expectations. not matter what you do, you just can't win with those idiots.

I think it's legitimate to bitch here in Pittsburgh. They didn't start plowing until it had been snowing for 8 hours, and then they weren't able to use their fleet of pickup plows because the snow had gotten too deep for them on the roads. Thus they only had a handful of larger trucks available to do the plowing. It was a boneheaded move, and a lot of the city is still unplowed from Friday. Most of the primary roads became drivable only yesterday. There could be a real disaster if a big fire broke out, because some areas heavily populated with elderly are inaccesible to emergency vehicles and a lot of the hydrants are covered up anyway. The mayor (who was out of the city, partying on his 30th birthday) is taking a lot of heat.
You can be a mayor at 30? Man I better get on that
Pittsburgh's mayor is only 30? What the farg?

i'm not opposed to anyone celebrating and getting farged up on their b-day. and maybe i'm wrong on this one, but i don't think the issue is that he's celebrating his b-day like any other 30yr old dude would, but probably the fact that this storm has been on the radar for over a week and dude still decided to jump ship and head to vegas or where ever the farg he is.
it's one thing if dude takes a vacation and shtein hits the fan while you're gone. but to know that a mega-storm is brewing and is likely going to cripple the area you are in charge of governing and still make the decision to go party is inexcusable and shows a major lack of maturity and judgement on his part.

I understand what you're saying. But even then, so what if he's not there. Is it going to be better or worse if he's holed up in his house within the city limits? Can his staff and more importantly the streets department not figure out their jobs. I'm not going to rip the guy for not showing solidarity with the people by staying at home because of a snowstorm.

in reality, would his being snowed into his house make any difference than if he's sitting in a roof top pool in vegas banging hookers? no. it won't make the plows move any faster. it won't make the snow melt. all it really does is show the people of pittsburgh that he's suffering with them and not partying while they are stuck in their homes with no power.
basically, it's a leadership thing.

how old is she? whats her name?
22 or 23....shes like a year or two out of college
cant recall her name
I've also been shoveling on and off all day. First got rid of the 7" we got last night, then the 3 inches of slushy mess, then about 5" of snow....and I want to go back out now, but farg it. Kids are asleep, its been a long ass day. I'm doing NOTHING and liking it.
its done here but blowing like a mofo. went to bar down the street and it was off the hook. snow makes people so happy. and drunk. unfortunately 2 people died today here riding snowmobiles in the city.

Apparently DelDOT has given up on plowing. I think they called them off because of visability issues earlier, but not even the major roads like 202 are cleared off. Theres at least a good 3-5 inches on my road.
we just got cable/internet back. So i can A. Do work i was supposed to be doing all day now or B. Continue getting drunk as farg, pop a pill, and watch the wire with the wife. I'm going with B.
My parents lost a large branch on their fir tree. Snapped under the weight of the snow. Its hung up on the 6' fence, and probably will be there for at least a couple days. I cut out a good few of the branches I could by hand, but its gonna need some sawing to get it down.

well, thanks to the icehole with the snowblower all of the stuff that I did yesterday, all of the shoveling and rocksalt, etc....for nothing. He blew all of the slush/ice and shtein all over my parking spot and sidewalk. its now a complete BOULDER of ice. I'm ready to kill someone.
It was apparently some kid in the neighborhood who charged $5 to dig cars out with his snowblower and shovel. I'm trying to find his phone number from a neighbor so he can come here and dig out the mess he made for me. :boom
my lazy peruvian neighbor threw his snow on my spot. I'm thinking of taking a super soaker and filling it with Rain X de Icer window fluid.
Also heard this is the whitest Black history month EVER
IGY must be so sad.
Well, I got the number of the kid who farged up my walkway and called him. voicemail. So hoping he calls back. I was super sweet girl voice in the message asking him for his help digging my car out. :evil
answer the door in a nightie, i'm sure Murp would approve
I just wanted to get him to call back.
So I can rip him a new icehole and tell him that if he doesn't come dig out the mess he made, I'll make sure no one in the neighborhood pays him a dime again.
He called back and told me that there was a foot of snow on the sidewalk and that I'm wrong.
Is he for real???
He said he'd come remove the ice but that I am wrong anyway.

looking at mondays snow a couple days ago i originally thought it was a classic clipper system....but i think that was a mistake now....now that the pressure gradiants are out it now appears much more vigorous...the models now show a lot of instability over the dc/balt area for the system....
at this point it wont take much gulf moisture to be tapped for this thing to ramp up and dump 5-10
4-6 seems to be the best range right now
but i would keep a close eye on it

yeah there are models that are suggesting a big one next week...but its way to early...some models show a noreaster...others show a rainstorm...and others show it floating out to sea....id lean toward some type of noreaster that produces snow at this point...but details are sketchy
oh im hanging on your every word igums

Nobody would pay attention to Weatherboy if he said things like, "nothing is happening for a while."
AccuWeather shows the predicted storm as weaker and more northerly than what has come before. They are calling for about a foot max and Philly is on the southern edge of the significant snowfall area. Still too early to say for sure, though.
actually more models are trending it on a southerly track
more models also predictiong a snowstorm...tho it should be said that more than one model have it as a mix/rain event for the middle atlantic
I'm heading to the Big Easy next week. This shtein better not farg with my flight.

QuoteWeatherboy Weather continues to track two significant storms that'll impact the Mid Atlantic and northeast next week. The first will bring inland snows and coastal rains later Monday in Tuesday.

is that thing all now, even on that tuesday?
INVASION!!
I didn't think the Canadians had the balls to invade us.
there is still some potential for snow on thursday but the models are incredibly and wildly inconsistent right now
however if you are looking for the end of the world type snow...keep an eye on early march....models are so far oddly consistent with a huge storm hitting around the 3rd or 4th....
great, im supposed to fly back 3/3.
Igy's now predicting the weather weeks ahead of time? Do you ever actually work?

its pretty crazy how little is known about this storm just 36 hours before it hits....looks to me like the only certainties are a good amounts of snow for central pa up into northern nj....new england should get slammed
no chance dc/balt areas get anywhere close to six inches imo (that accuweather map is trash)....and more than likely get just some flurries with little to no accumulation
when is that supposed to hit? nothing but rain for past two days here. i think im done with snow
Its snowing down here.
look at the map below for moisture levels.....pick your location and look at the scale.....with that number you can determine the amount of snow based on the fixed ratio predicted with a storm....a pretty safe standard would be 8 to 10 inches of snow to 1 inch of precip....do the math and youll get the amount of snow you may see...i say may because unlike the two monster storms earlier this season that were easy to predict even four days out this one is still up in the air less than two days out...it was originally supposed to bomb out over new england now the models have it over new jersey...with a trend to the south

IGY any updates from you? Local news has us getting only 6-10 but other sites have us getting 1-2 feet.
its still a fluid situation but youre not getting two feet
the upper level low of the storm continues to track north and east...its hard to say how fast this track will happen or if it will even continue...this particular trend has changed just since this morning
if i had to guess what youre gonna get id lay it out something like this
12 inches = 50%
8 inches = 35%
16 inches = 15%
good now kill the messenger.
Bucks County/Philadelphia 12-16 inches
bank on at least 10--which is still ridiculous
pg doesnt live in bucks county...north east of the city will see more snow...there is such a fine line with this system...for example south phil could see 6 and the northeast 16...not saying those will be the totals cause no one knows...but there should be large discprencies within small geographical areas with this thing
its supposed to be in the low 70s for the next couple of days

How's Brownsville, Todd?
the town is alright. im out covering stuff and when not im in the office so really im not gonna be much of brownsville resident.
houston is 5 or 6 hour drive from what they tell me, so maybe doing a few days there is doable. the phils are in second weekend in april. thatll be tough but ima try.

Check the flights on continental.com; they're usually pretty cheap from Brownsville to here.
yes! jewhard yours boys and i will slam tequilla, wait until mid april, then caravan up to la casa de los phreakos for a weekend of baseball and peruvian culture. IN.
Maybe you can return the favor sometime, and take 'em all out for a stroll in the lovely Matamoros night air.

The only reason you don't hear about Mexican evangalists is because for the most part they all love the Jesus. And Texas is by far the worst state in the country when it comes to bible thumping. Ask you gringo neighbors and they'll tell you that Jesus is Texan.

So, let me get this straight. Your stance is that the Mexican population is not overly religious AND that the borderland-Texas population is not overly religious. And from this perspective you're trying to mock ME by pointing out that you clearly have no concept of what you're talking about yet and are making an idiot of yourself?

When there were 3 feet of snow on the ground I said I would never complain about the heat this summer.
Its only June and I have decided that I'd rather have 3 feet of snow on the ground than to have it be 100 degrees of stifling heat.
ive never been uncomfortable here with the heat. it gets a little too humid sometimes but otherwise its actually quite nice. take a dip in the pool or sit in the shade and read. life isnt all that bad, woman.
farg this heat..
The storms out there really cooled it down
hit 100 here today....all time record
Today was not a good day to go digging through a cluttered garage.
90 degrees feels like winter to me.
Its hot and sunny and humid every day here. It rains enough to steam it up when the sun comes right back out after the passing shower.
My parents house got majorly farged up in the storms today... Hail smashed through their windows and someone else's giant oak tree was uprooted and deposited in their backyard. All wires snapped and a ton of other exterior damage. I saw a picture of their backyard on Action News...
My mom says she saw a nearly opaque wall of white hit the house. Guess we'll have to wait to find out if it was tornadic.
Well, it wasn't a summer shower.
I love the heat, been outside the better part of this week. There's nothing like working up a good sweat then jumping in a pool.
The heat can suck it. The cold too. Spring and Fall are the shtein. If only Spring actually existed anymore.
ill take low 90s all day everyday FTW
The only time it is ever okay to be above 85 degrees is if you have a pool or the ocean readily available.
If not...farg that.
I'll take 3 feet of snow any day over that.

We live on a golf course, and I saw that same opaque wall of white come down the course and hit our house. Blew a bunch of wires behind the house a few down from here and started up a nice fire. Blew out our power for the whole night. Had to stay at the parents house. Took an hour to go 20 minutes because every street was detoured for downed lines and trees.
Took another hour this morning to drive through the war zone around here. Passed by SIX houses with trees right through the top, smashed roofs and all.
I would not be surprised if there were tornadoes.
The storm rolling thru Newark, De was wild. I was out having a smoke and my buddy and i were walking in, you could see a wall of rain coming at us so heavy it sounded like a wave, and looked like it. We ran to get under the awnings outside, and barely made it. Work lost power for a bit, and like PG said, it was pure white outside, looked a bit like the winter storms. The ride home was ridiculous, tree's everywhere, power lines down. To get home i had to go offroad in fields to get past a tree that was down, and power lines further down the road. Neighbors lost a tree out back, i'm amazed it missed their deck by a few inches.

Damn, you guys got it a lot worse than Md. It blowed gust of up to sixty, but I never lost power, and the rain only lasted around an hour. I walked outside after it was over and it was like a friggen' steam bath. Hot as hell.

There's a huge horse track here but I haven't been. I wish they'd legalize slots and table games here so I could really get my degenerate on.

i have to imagine its hell on earth on a holiday weekend or whens its packed but on a weekday afternoon its fairly dead and very nice.
ive never been to a dog track before and im guessing its filled with knockos and sketchy country boys but i need to bet on SOMETHING
Ah yeah, South Padre. The only legit beach destination in Texas. I was looking at rates for a beach house for a week today. Outfarginrageous. I'd rather spend the money in Vegas.

Out of curiosity, why the hate for TX?
ill secede into mexico thankyouverymuch
If we can carve Austin out of Texas and toss it up into the States I'm in.
A few stabs at why I hate Texas:
The Dallas Cowboys.
George W. Bush
"Don't Tread On Me" icehole-ism
bigger-is-better icehole-ism
Most eager to execute prisoners
Least eager to let a woman control her own body
Houston is a goddamn pit like LA with no beach
Dirty oil riches corrupted the entire region from the start
Most of it--or what I've seen of it, includeing Houston Austin Dallas Ft. Worth, San Antonio, driven across it three times, etc.--is farging ugly ass hell (the eastern-most parts excepted)).
the people I've met from texas are all outcasts from the homeland: they've been driven away because they were different, or they've left because they are different, and couldn't stand it, or at the very least couldn't live in Austin, or they left for an education and never went back. I like these people, so the ones they've left behind, got left behind for a reason.
I know some great people from Lubbock as well. Never been there myself, I imagine I would hate it. But they get a pass. farg you.
And farg Texas.
lol...farg me for moving to Texas?
Your list is pretty spot on. I'm here for work and thats it. Plus the cost of living is better than back east.
so its getting pretty serious down here
i have to go into work tomorrow and they are moving operations to some hotel in town on thurs and fri and pushing deadline to 11am (afternoon paper? i dont know) to i guess avoid having people work when its dark out.
it might or might not be a hurricane but it will rain and as im sure phreak knows, mexican and texas people freak out over rain

Well, I've never been down in the valley so I don't know what your people do down there. But I know when I lived in Killeen and now in Houston, these people don't give a shtein whats on the roads; they're gonna do at least 60. Snow? Ice? farg it...lets' roll. They don't know how to drive in it. Good time watching them slide all over.
Anyways, be careful. When Ike hit it was a mess with flooding. Don't be one of the jackoffs standing on the beach in front of the boardwalk as 25ft waves crash two feet from you.
I doubt this will be bad; just a rain maker. We're supposed to catch the back side of it.
it probably will
its just farging shtein up cause everyone thinks the next hurricane is gonna be katrina part II

I feel for you. I'll be outside painting, nothing like digging, but hot all the same. Thats unless I can somehow find something to do inside one the branches of the bank I work for.
Guess I'm the only person in the world who loves this shtein. I'm spending the entire day outdoors, my room mate has the AC on full blast (to my dismay). He was bitching up a storm about it being too hot so I asked him would you rather have this or 3 feet of snow and he said 3 feet of snow. What is wrong with you people.
fat people hate heat
I don't want to sweat unless i'm working, playing some kind of sport, or farging. Sweating simply because I am alive and it's hot as balls is utter f'n misery.
It is easier to warm up than to cool off. I can add as many layers of clothing or blankets as I need to reach comfort, but I cannot strip off my own skin to cool down.
I like sleeping with my old lady when it's cold outside, she's warm and it's nice to get up next to her and start rubbin'. When it's hot, I want nothing to do with touching her or any other human.
heating my house doesn't make the climate so different from the outside that I get bloody noses, as air conditioning sometimes does.
I don't have to listen to my neighbors' AC units blasting 24/7 during the winter.
Snow is pretty.
people shoot each other a lot more when it's hot.
shall I go on?
I'm probably bigger than most of you hear, an incredible feat in itself, and I don't mind the heat much anymore. I hate the sunburn, and bees, and sharp rocks when I'm barefoot, but not the heat.
so its in the high 80s and im goin to the pool

real sports this month has an interesting story about brownsville being the unofficial chess capital of the united states...other than new york they produce more child champions than any other city in the country
chess is not a sport
noted
I was wondering if anyone else saw that.
Its hot as farg outside right now, my weatherstation says its 101.
nyc is 102.8 right now

You say that as if the reports about the weather usually are..
Temperature is usually a pretty easy one to measure consistently. Since everyone has thermometers these days. But seriously, I figured that when CNN and weather.com told me that it was in the triple digits today, it would be best to check with you guys. Just to make sure.
Hot.
Did someone say hot?

in the American inner city ghetto, it's like 1932, maybe 33

I worked in the city for three years, Scoop.

yeah the metro is disgusting. i walk to work as of a few months ago and i actually sweat less than standing still on the train for 7-8 minutes.
and the tunnels are worse than the train

god damn do I love thunder storms
i love them, but when its storms, and doesnt get cooler outside i'm not a fan. Storms down in the OBX on the ocean are the shtein

I've never actually seen the emergency broadcast system used other than a test, and they used to to issue a tornado warning for north wilmington today. Apparently some people have seen one, but I'm down in the city so all we've seen is basement flooding rain and nasty thunderstorms so far. It's apparently worse north of the city/up near the PA line.
But still crazy to me that they actually used that broadcast system, they never use that for anything around here.
had a crazy little 10 minute storm out of nowhere yesterday and i watched huge pieces of the roof fly into the pool.
this weather seriously makes me think the world is done soon.
It got slightly dark around 5 yesterday, and in about 5 minutes after that the sky was black as farg. The gusts were ridiculous, but it was a quick moving storm. Felt bad for my brothers friends who had just left the beach to drive home in a wrangler with no softtop. Not exactly a storm they wanted to run into with no roof or doors
It can storm like hell all it wants as long as it takes that shtein humidity out of here and leaves awesome weather like we had today.
my commute was an hour longer than usual this morning thanks to last night's storms.
today was marvelous
another awesome day to not work in a cubicle
Just too the dog out before a big storm hits or at least its an all electrical storm. So much static that the hairs on my body were charged. Odd feeling with no bolts hitting the ground yet.
My dog shteins herself every time the pressure drops and a storm is coming. Sometimes she literally shteins. Other times she just hides in the closet while I yell at her about evolution.
ha, my dog is hiding behind the couch. He never cared about storms until he was 4 years old, which seems to be some odd trait of Retrievers/Labs
my cat would kick the shtein out of your dogs
I have a 1230 flight from IAH on Friday, landing in PHL at 1650.
And apparently the farging hurricane is going to affect airport operations in PHL, EWR and up the east coast.
Good thing for you the Philadelphia International Airport is run so efficiently
You might be better off hitch hiking.
Yeah...PHL is a clusterfarg.
I hope if its bad enough they just cancel the damn thing. I'd rather that then get re-routed to Detroit or some place like that.
take a 1 hour plane ride south
theres a nice hard cot with your name on it
Definitely read that as "hard cock" at first

Thats all you got for me? A cot?
Tempurpedic or nothing, dammit!
The surprise that's waiting for you is that Jew boy sleeps in the cot.
its not actually a cot
its a pull out bed from a sofa
and the blanket is covered in cat hair
and theres a hole in it

im going oct 23-30
Good time to go. Cheap October rates, hurricane season usually over, weather very nice.
NC thanks you for your tourism $$$.
glad i could subsidize the failing tobacco industry
and yeah its unbelievably cheap
i got a house

but never in the fall
almost literally IN the ocean for $495
sometimes i despise my children
It might be IN the ocean after Earl, but you can't win 'em all.
The flooding is bad right now, and the radar map still looks bad. At least another few hours of heavy rain.
Some Day After Tomorrow shtein goin on.

While you guys are flooding, we are getting our first frost freeze sat and sun night. I have to go out and cover my sensitive plants now, so farg off

QuoteThe most intense (non-tropical) storm ever recorded in the history of the United States lower 48 (exlucing the immediate east coast) occurred on Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010 in the upper-midwest. An all-time record low sea-level pressure of 955 mb was recorded at Bigfork, MN on Tuesday at 5:13 pm CDT. The breaks the previous record of 958 mb set in Cleveland, OH on Jan. 26, 1978. Just imagine if this cyclone occurred in January instead of October. We would have been talking blizzard of the century for some locations
btw it was 90 and sunny today here and i wore shorts to work. not dipping down past 80 for the foreseeable future. its almost november. i like this.

Maybe it will help the government in your area realize the need to put the shtein underground.
Like drunk drivers? I think the death penalty may be a little excessive for that.
Ha! Me too, considering I'd be posting from down in the dirt.
I didn't say it was all bad.
Considering all things CF, it wouldn't be.
all the players are on the field for a significant snow event on sunday....just gotta bring them together
What about NY? NY/Philly in the snow for the division would be sick.
its not going to snow. its 75 and sunny today.
Its going down to the 40s here at night, finally.

I actually do think snow benefits passing, especially a strong armed QB. Receivers know their routes, DBs don't, harder to adjust with zesty footing. But in reality I think think it'd be sweet even if it wouldn't help much.

fat guy hate heat
skinny guy love 90 degree weather up in this bitch
blast the AC, rock the shorts and sandals.
the greenland low, lol
give us the link to your weather forum, vigy
those poor bastiches
i actually know how to read all that shtein and have gotten pretty good at it...my boy tho is a virtual expert...he really knows his shtein and destroys on the regular any weather person on tv
So what goes on in the Havas man room....sit around and drink crack jizzy talking about high pressure and nor'easters?
ha...nothing like that....but this cat is like an amateur weather person...and he showed me how to read all the graphs and bar and lines and shtein...he does it 365...i really only follow in the winter as all i care about is snow
anyway for sunday shtein is still showing snow with high ratios from late saturday nite to 7pm sunday....coming down hard...over an inch an hour at times....a foot or more if it comes together
east of 95 would get the most...and there would be a huge cut off north and west...for example south jersey could get hit hard and conshohocken or king of prussia couold get an inch or two....of course this storm also has potential to slide right off the coast because of the low i was talking about yesetrday
bring it on, there's a new snowblower in the garage itching to go
snowing like crazy in dc now...streets are covered
looking at the latest runs for sunday dont look all that promising...greenland low seems like its gonna keep this shtein at bay and out to sea...gonna need some help to get something....new england could get murdered
Ever since college snow has made me want to drink. Spending five years living right next to several bars in Boston probably contributes to that. Oh and the fact that I'm an alcoholic.
Ha, I'm the same, i see snow and i think of snow parties and the excuse to drink at 10am.
That was a tricky spot of driving I just accomplished pushing my jalopy home from Annapolis.
And wow, people are farging stupid. I particularly got a kick out of the idiot in the Land Rover in a ditch. I somehow manage not to wreck my shteinbox with four bald tires, this rich farg can't keep his ABS, Traction control, four wheel drive status symbol upright.
Proof again, rich people cant drive for shtein.
I too for some reason feel the need to to drink like a fish when it snows. Kraken has become the booze of choice when the snow hits.
The only good thing about this crappy weather is finding an empty ice covered parking lot to do doughnuts in. That shtein will never get old
I had to go around salting sidewalks at my banks, saw three accidents. People driving SUVs. Dumbasses don't realize that all wheel drive doesn't help you stop on snow.
Snow drink of choice=Southern Comfort
if this storm on sunday does what many of the models are now predicting it could cancel the eagle game...current euro models have at least 18 inches....its linear models are almost too good to be true at this point...basically showing a virtual hurricane sitting off the middle atlantic coast for 6-8 hours and not moving...if this happens there will be minimum a foot of snow from north cackalacka to toronto....just doesnt sound possible
and the gfs (noaa model) isnt on board with the euro...its rare to see two glodbal models in this much disagreement and you really van make an argument for another snowpacalypse or just a couple inches...i figure right now you split down the middle and go with a moderate event...8-12 inches?
but if the gfs starts to move toward the euro then kaboom!! look who stepped in the room
Running a 5 mile race on Sunday. Can't wait. ::)

did you even stop to see if igy was ok ?
i think he means range rover not land rover....because land rovers are cheap and certainly not status symbols
new models out...gfs and euro still very different
gfs has the whole thing blowing out to sea.....euro shows epic snowfall....whats weird is that both have been consistent with what they have been prediciting but still are so different from each other....i guess that means no matter how many satellite pics computer graphs and fancy weather crap they have...no one still has any idea what is going to happen on sunday
well if it hits i will be thankful i have a 16yr son that can do the shoveling as i watch the game. assuming the game is played in the event of an epic snowfall.
in that case i'll just peer out the front window and wacth him with a select beverage in my hand thinking, man, is the heat up too high in here ?
all i can see is that if the girlfriends move to europe, snow will happen. good to know.
in what world were football games cancelled due to snow? cmon people.
well technically last week.
im pretty sure the roof at the linc will not collapse, regardless of how powerful the gps or euros are.
true and it's a rare event but if a state of emergency is announced the game will be postponed and probably played monday night.

if it can handle a thousand wind turbines it will farg up a snowstorm....but what happens when its both!!
no to sidetrack this discussion because that never happens here but are there any pics of how these wind turbines are going to look ?
its like 80 and sunny here. i had to turn on the ac last night to cool my apt. im not suggesting anyone move to brownsville but i am suggesting you move somewhere warm. its...awesome.
ok so now all the models are aligned for the first time this week...think a general 12-24 from what everything is reading....start would be sunday lasting into monday morning
the euro which historically is the most accurate in predicting big winter storms has been uncannily consistent all week with this....and with apologies to die hard if this thing continues the way its been trending the eagle game could be postponed....this would be just a huge snow event like we had last year but it would also come with crazy strong winds and snow drifts...of course a lot still has to happen but the chances are very real
If it's not going to start until sunday night, I doubt the NFL would postpone it...they'd let them play in high wind and the beginning of a snow storm
the nfl basically has nothing to do with the decision if a state of emergency is called.
The nfl only cares about getting people in, not getting them home.
Quote from: smeags on December 22, 2010, 03:23:19 PM

And if the storm starts later in the day sunday, do you really think they'll declare state of emergency that early?
Besides, I wish state of emergency being declared would be followed as it should be. I was kept at work an extra 3 hours last year during the first big storm after SoE was declared. Had to drive a POS 93 Camry home with a foot+of snow on 202 was good times.

i was just making a general statement that the nfl may not have a choice but to postpone it in the event that a SOE is anounced. aren't there times when that is done prior to the height of a storm in an attempt to get traffic off the roadways so they can be plowed and salted without a ton of drivers ?

:-D :-D :-D that's what I read. :-D :-D :-D
its still waaaaay too early to talk game cancellation much less narrow snow totals...but im saying worst case scenario and this storm comes all together its possible...all the ingrediants exist and thats alone is a big deal when you are talking about something potentially this big
its probably right now a 10% chance of philly getting 15+ AND blizzard winds which a lot higher % than philly ever getting that in a particular winter
So what % chance igy would you put on us getting 6+ inches on Sunday?
It seems like it's either going to hit and be big or not hit at all, right?
no i disagree with that
imo as of right now theres def less chance of getting nothing than there is of getting the blizzard
this is a little early to go on record but im gonna do it anyway and say its 100% we get at least six inches...imo that is the low end of lets say 6-24
the only reason to believe it could miss entirely is because this is a la nina year and storms like this are very rare...at the same time there in nothing in any model that would suggest a charlie brown moment
so somewhere between 0-24 inches. i can agree with that.
is there a more surprising hobby for someone to have than havas and weather? who saw him being hurricane schwartz jr coming?
i hope you all get snow murdered.
last five or so model runs show this going more off the coast significantly reducing snow totals....especially for philly....dc/balt would get 2-3 inches and philly possibly none...still a lot of time and the potential is still there for a decent to big storm but not looking as good as last night
my man said the jet stream is much more powerful than originally anticipated and it is running straight thru the middle of the country from like oklahoma to north carolina rather than curling up thru the ohio valley and into the middle atl/ne
keep me posted..you're my weatherman
Hurricane Havas droppin knowledge, stone faced and wearing a Barkley jersey
btw all the local news stations are now saying the same thing....little to no snow...
latest euro caved to the gfs....la nina wins we lose...storm is going to move too fast and head out to sea rather than let the low dig it in and hold it so it can phase back around and over the 95 corridor...too bad because this could have been a monster
charlie browned
I farging just bought a snow blower and 18 cans of new england clam chowder because of you dude. You suck.
Well, now you can toss it all in the snow blower and have a party.
Great news. 5 miles in a blizzard might not have been much fun.
Exactly PG, if the drifts were higher than 4 feet, no one would know you even ran the marathon
and now they wont cancel the eagles game!
Same thing happened to us a few weeks back. Everything was reading 12-19" and then at the last min. The models changed and we only got 7". Sucked, but we've already had 16" so far this december and another 3-6" today!!
people who know a hell of a lot more than i know said they ahve never seen models flip flop like they have with this storm
the blizzard is back on....lastest model runs showing 12-18 for dc/balt....same or more for philly.....and 2+ feet possible on the eastern shore of md (batten down the hatches shorebird)...with the winds we are looking at blizzard conditons for much of sunday into monday
a couples models are running with snow more in the 8-14 range but they seem to be in the minority....either way this storm has been one of the craziest to predict in history
Nary a flake. You'se wrong again. All that scientific stuff is mumbo jumbo when it comes to the weather, because there is no set formula for anything, the weather constantly changes minute to minute so trying to use computers and models to predict it means theres a different prediction every minute. Might say the weather is somewhat unpredictable. Especially a big snow storm, it's not like saying theres a 50% chance of rain and covering your ass.

sound dumber...it rarely ever changes minute minute...that is what makes this storm so unique....gfs and euro banged out every huge snow from last winter 100% on point

blizzard is all about wind strength
my guess right now is 4-8 for dc and philly....12+ possible in north jerz nyc...10-12 for the eastern shore.....chances for 12"+ as you get closer to the coast
this is one of those storms where less than a 100 mile shift in the low could make all the difference for the 95 corridor....points towards the coast are gonna get hit hard no matter what
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it's going to be much more than half a foot, but that it will be crazy due to the wind.
Watching the game in that tomorrow might be nuts.

blizzard is all about wind strength
my guess right now is 4-8 for dc and philly....12+ possible in north jerz nyc...10-12 for the eastern shore.....chances for 12"+ as you get closer to the coast
this is one of those storms where less than a 100 mile shift in the low could make all the difference for the 95 corridor....points towards the coast are gonna get hit hard no matter what
What i would give for a good old Nor'eastern from back in the days!! thunder, lightning snow and all the fun i use to have as a kid!! ahhh the memories!
I'm gonna go ahead and cancel my plans to drive to DC tomorrow morning.
Let other people crash and call 911 without me in the way.

i dont know when you are planning on coming back from dc but the AM tomorrow should be ok...the blockage seems to be strengthening and now it looks like the heavyiest stuff shouldnt hit until noon-1
I had to cancel out on the run. >:(
IGY, what are your thoughts on the Gloucester Township area snowfall predictions? I am hearing 8-14"
that sounds about right...my gut tells me a little less but its def a good number to go by
So snow game tomorrow or will it clear by then

Snow game.

"The Eagles will host the Vikings at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field starting at 8:20 p.m. EST Sunday.
During the entire length of the game, Philadelphia will be in the midst of a fierce blizzard with heavy, wind-whipped snow.
The blizzard is expected to dump a total of 6 to 12 inches of snow on Philadelphia with the majority of that snow falling before the Eagles-Vikings game is complete.
Sustained winds between 25 and 35 mph will severely blow and drift the snow. Passing and kicking plays may become difficult to effectively execute."
Just started getting little flurries at my mom's house up in Danville.

lol @ pg and die-hard
are you two actually asking igy for weather advice?
worse, is he actually giving it out?
what a farce!
any chance the game is cancelled?
ease up on your lols - im drunk and dont feel like searching myself

I'm thinking visibility might be a problem. I know there has to be 12 days notice in advance before a game can be moved to a different time slot, but as we saw with the Giants/Minny game it can change due to weather, any chance they move this back up to 1
Are we going to have a lot of snow this winter igy?
models are always talkin
hey, I broke his balls the last time he was talking about the greenland drift or whatever the farg he was talking about, but I dont even turn on the weather channel anymore.

415 to 1, or 1 to 415, would be easy
but nbc has this game now, theyve sold the advertising and it would cost them major $ to move the game elsewhere.
Nutter is calling into all the local stations asking people to use mass transit....says any cancellation would be the NFL's call, not the city's, but he expects the game to start as scheduled
They won't cancel. It will be glorious.
No race. Totally disappointed.
Eagles had better whip some Viking ass today or I'll be royally pissed.

you know, for someone who routinely bores the life out of us with tales of the workingman, you sure seem to be callous about the plight of family farmers who rely on their crops to survive.
get your head out of your ass, dio.
family farmers, yeah...that's where our produce comes from
there's huge citrus concerns, yes, but there's also a significant number of family-owned citrus producers in this state.
regardless if it's an evil corporation or a guy with 40 acres & a mule doing the producing, it's stupid on your part to wish failure of any sort on agricultural crops. i expect that kind of ignorance from the "MA" boneheads here, but not you.

I'm at my aunt's in Norristown and while it ain't pretty out, it's certainly drivable. It would have been a ling drive home after the game, but who gives a shtein?
Supposedly the bad shtein is still on it's way. The snow here in the Northeast right now is horizontal. Over 100 accidents in the area since the storm started. I saw two on my way home today.
I heard down in Philly they are ticketing people for driving in the city....guessing they want to keep main roads clear of traffic for plowing. Any troof to this?
Wouldn't be a surprise. They go through peoples trash to make sure they're recycling. If they find anything that's recyclable in your regular trash it's a $50 fine.

IGY is the shtein when it comes to weather. Not all of us possess his powers of weather analysis & prediction.
Dio needs a handjob...pronto. He's starting to bitch about everything...more than usual.
We got over a foot in South Jersey, just about 15 minutes from the stadium. With ridiculously heavy winds to a point where you couldn't see our cars from our front window at points last night.

Yep, I doubted it at first, but not later in the night as the storm raged.
Remember how pissed we all were at the Fog Bowl? Well, add a lot of years of no Super Bowls and a lot of potential to this season....and see how pissed everyone would be if they lost due to a weather related incident in the game that could have been prevented if the game was postponed? I'd rather see a 97 year old Favre and gimpy Peterson than to lose a game in the snow like it was last night.
I was thinking more along the lines of public safety than football. It's just not smart to hold such a large event in the midst of an extreme weather event. Cops, ambalamps and firemen have better things to do during a blizzard than attend to dozens of car accidents, hypothermic drunks, etc.
When the weather is like this, stay home unless you must travel. It's common sense for individuals and organiztions alike.
Well, that much was obvious. I was meaning more the players who were complaining....and then some of those on here...

the cancellelation had nothing to do with the game...and everything to do with public safety...if the game and the eagles winning was your concern then they made a terrible move because football could have and should have been played...however as far as the safety of the people in the lots on the roads and in the stands it would have been a terrible idea to play
nice of the eagles to offer refunds for people who won't be able to make the game tomorrrow.

hey, that's Capitalism man...love it or leave it
nevermind it's the right thing to do...it's not required of them (read the fine print on page 647 of the ticket contract, addendum III)...and since money is the overall goal of all things American, it would be stupid of them to refund the money
the eagles had a chance to do the right thing by their fans and they decided to stick it to them (us) high, hard & deep. not surprising, i agree. still disappointing, though.
as for the postponement decision, it really was the only one that could have been made.
IGY, I'm talking about the huge number of angry fans who were never even planning on going to the game. Those who were going to watch from their living rooms and instead had to find another reason to drink and be stupid. THOSE are the fans who are the most vocal right now. Public safety wasn't a concern for them.

im in on this with you as long as you can guarantee me a way that there wouldnt be fans who would ask for a refund who honestly could make it tomorrow but because they simply dont feel like going or need the money to pay off xmas gifts would ask for a refund
for every sarge there would be a hundred people asking for money back....because they want the money back

farg them.....i thought you were saying they shouldnt have played because it helps the eagles out in terms of winning or losing the game
I meant that all of those iceholes would be whining and crying about how unfair it was that the weather caused a "Fog Bowl" type of loss (if it happened that way). They'd be the first to be pissed and cry about it and blame the NFL/Eagles for having the game.
it's fairly simple. if you don't use the tickets you get a refund. they can easily track whose tickets get scanned and whose don't.

Did you call the broker back and ask him if he wanted to buy them back at face value?
could rendell just have a heart attack and die already ?
how could a public official come down on the side of risk & recklessness?
christ - what a buffoon.
i love how he references vince lombardi....like the reason we should risk people sliding off the platt bridge into the schuylkill is because we might raise the ghost of some old football coach
It's obviously because he's a Democrat. Burrrrrn.
plus a part time taterskins fan.
well he did coach them....but i thought lombardi was a salt of the earth joe the plumber american hero republican
you left out icehole..he was an icehole
I was talking about Rendell.
oh
who cares about Rendell? He's a lame duck governor counting the time until he can come back and be a full-time postgame guy
the rendell hate actually suprises me....easily the best mayor the city ever had...he will always be my homie
and if nothing else the guy loves philly sports as much or more than any of us and cared more about his cities teams than any mayor in US history...how farging awesome is that in amayor
it's not hate, but going on live TV and bitching about not having an Eagles game to watch annoyed me
I actually agree. And I agree with him mocking the decision to postpone the game as well. But since you sissies were all applauding the caution of the NFL causing the Eagles to have to play the Cowboys on 4 days rest, I figured I'd take a shot.
oh no, the cowboys and their 3rd string quarterback on 4 days rest?
OH NO!
They are capable of losing that game and you know it.
not if kitna doesnt play
Having only 4 days rest hardly makes the likelihood of losing greater, and you know it.
so you mock the "sissy" boys for agreeing with the NFL on postponing the game, but your reasoning is because you're a scared little bitch about the cowboys?
lol
short rest easily gets cancelled out by stephen mcgee
that game will be over before it starts...the buses will be runnning for the Cowboys the moment the ball is kicked off.
Well in that case the Bears will beat the Packers anyway. Bah humbug.

We got zero snow with this storm, but it's still pretty farging windy out this way.

from weatherboy weather:
it appears tomorrow's light snow may be a little more robust than originally thought for portions of the Philadelphia suburbs in south NJ. As a result, the National Weather Service has posted Winter Storm Watches. While a repeat of today's snowfall amounts are likely, southern counties of NJ may see 4-8" snows from tomorrow's disturbance.
another big one coming this wednesday, i hear?
SD, that's what she said.
northern jerz - nyc - westchester - connecticut - RI all look like they are gonna get bombed again...this year for them is like 2010 for the dc/balt area....anything that could possibly explode over them does
dh you are gonna be on the north west fringe of the huge stuff...a little movement either way and you could be anywhere from being hit hard to getting a few inches....the storm center is going to be east of you
good because i can use a few days off from work to recover from yesterday - both physically and mentally
....theyre already planning on shutting down west point on wednesday
i was planning on driving up to the adirondacks wed after work but thats now out the window

I tend to believe his reports over anyone else. He was right 99% of the time last winter when the local news and weather.com were all off.
I'm in Bucks Co though, so that might not hold for me I guess if it cuts East earlier.
yeah so am I Legendz--think I just saw 4-8 inches tops.

Temperature rises it's global warming
Temperature falls it's global warming
It snows it's global warming

Next you'll give me some mumbo jumbo about balance and some other bullshtein. It's all hilarious.
Except that temperatures aren't falling. So, you know, there's that.
wait SD is one of them?
Sadly, yes.

i know where im going this weekend the low on friday night is supposed to be -3

very much so....i like to roll around and play in it
you need to spend a few minutes watching football practice in the middle of the afternoon here during the summer

Religion/religious leaders have been doing the same thing for centuries. Gore's only been at it for 10-15 years. So if he still hasn't proven anything in, say, 2000 years, then we'll go ahead and file it under fiction and move on, m'kay?
Okay
Gore uses his celebrity to spread scientific evidence that is universally agreed upon and is designed to actually help humanity. How dare he.
Now if you want to mock the dude for being boring as shtein and having an ugly (ex) wife, go right ahead. shtein, mock him for his political beliefs too. But such vitriol over educating people about scietific studies, is absurd.

I find it hard to believe that people look at the science and then say the science is wrong.
Wait, nevermind, this is America. I find it incredibly easy to believe that.
Anyway, this is the weather thread, not the climate thread....and people like Lurking Weirdo seem to forget there's a difference between the two.

The THEORY of climate change is in no way universally accepted and if it is true, it can not be proven that the industrial revolution is the cause. The latest empirical evidence shows the increase to be SUBSTANTIALLY less than alarmists like the former VP pretend it to be. Keep in mind that Alfie has been paid well over 1 billion dollars as a board member for "green" energy companies (essentially a paid lobbying position.
so wait, a democratic politician may have used some type pf scare tatic to gain power and wealth ? :o
man, thank god the republicans don't pull such crap.
It is worth noting that something only becomes a theory in the scientific community after it's been tested over and over again and the test results are the same and point towards something.
but yeah...it's probably nothing.
people can debate the cause all they want.
fact is it is happening.

Cool pic from the Philly Zoo today.

farg the snow. I wish I had a flame thrower to melt it all away.
It was like 70 here and raining all day.
It's going to freeze like a motherfarger tomorrow. Hard freeze. Brrrrr....
Has mussa loaded the truck up yet this year?
The more important question is has mussa installed some sort of drainage system in the floor of his garage.
Jezzz you guys!
So we're either gonna get another "Meh" this week or a foot+ depending on what track this storm takes.
foot plus, foot plus!!
-4 with a wind chill about -20 tomorrow. Climate change, shlimate change. Someone please kick Al Gore in the nuts.
storm on the east coast = proving climate change is horse shtein
science at its finest
i think putting as much toxic shtein in the air as possible is probably the best thing to do for the earth AND for the people who live on it
for once you agree with Republicans
So whats the deal IGY? What's the "latest models" saying?
Models should only be seen, not heard.

It's gon' rain.
i have anout 3" here at west point; about 2' when i left my house this morning to get here...
reports say we should get another 5"-9" tomorrow night, but the maps have all been different, and by no means am i igy with the ability read and interpret these things.
What the farg is with the South (Baltimore & DC) and East (Philly/Jersey) getting hammered by storms and missing south central PA? Years ago it was all north of us, now its south and east. If its gonna be shtein cold like it has this year I want a shtein blizzard.
i live in DC and have gotten maybe 2 inches total this winter.
la nina pattern this year means balt/dc struggle to put together big storms...they tend to stay along the coast (which is why mussa misses out as well) and batter new england...its also a decent look for nyc
Mom and sister are supposed to fly out Thursday to Cancun from PHL for the trip they won.
I feel bad because they're fired up and now it looks like they will have to reschedule.
QuoteA significant winter storm will impact the major cities along the I95 corridor tomorrow and tomorrow night;heavy snow is likely in DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, & Boston, with the heaviest snow likely to fall just north and east of DC to an area just east of Philly.The Philadelphia area and southwest NJ will likely see heavy thunderstorms of snow Wednesday evening. It is here that totals of more than a foot are likely.
its a shame we dont have anything in the way to slow this thing down....this could have been an absolute monster with a slower pace or if it stalled out

nam just took a huge poop on baltimore and poop = snow
i still question the accumulations its calling for because of possible temp issues and a wet surface but the precip is definitely there
Nam? Who dat? Weather fanboy jargon?
one of the big models
so what is the most up to date forecast for lower bucks/central jersey ? thunder snow storms, rain or both ?
Yeah last night I was reading that it would switch over to all rain thrusday afternoon in the philly area....now they're saying a foot?
i would love that, company would give us a snow day paid and i could go work on the side doing snow removal.
hopefully youll die doing that

Me dead? want?
so all the stations got this one right huh
been getting hit hard in Doylestown all morning. very little visibility right now. weather.com as of late last night still had only a 20% chance of precipitation before 1pm.
ive got nothing upstate as of now..
only light rain in DC but the news told me there is a threat of Thundersnow today. this makes me happy.
no better way to start the day than a nice robust two hour drive in to work.
Have about 3 inches in Middletown, but for the past 10 minutes its been switching between snow and sleet.

QuoteThis snowfall forecast map posted on Tuesday still appears to be on-target as the forecast is verifying nicely. The heaviest snow will push into the northeast later today and portions of interior southern NJ are still likely to see the heaviest snow from this system. More light snow is likely in the northeast this weekend with the chance of another significant snowstorm next week.
my local streets & the turnpike ate dog nuts this morning. KOP area sucks as well. our parking lot was just starting to get cleared when i rolled in.
adding to that map:
QuoteOne thing to point out though is the darkest band is 6-12"+ with the "+" being key; some localized places may see 12-20", especially in the suburbs of Philadelphia in SNJ.
FML
oh joy, like my roof needs even more weight in it. :paranoid
We're getting nailed here in NE Philly
The good thing about snow is I get to spend the day talking to all of my wonderful friends here at :CF
leaving work at 12 and getting paid for it rocks. ;D
edit: of course with my luck it will take me 4hrs to get home. :sly
I haven't been into the office all week. We got a little rain in NC. Very rough.

QuoteAn area of heavy precipitation, possibly thunderstorms, is moving up the east coast now. The dynamics associated with this heavy precipitation will turn any non-snow precipitation that may be falling along the I95 corridor from DC to NYC to snow and it'll do so quickly. Thundersnow is very possible, especially in south...ern NJ and southeastern PA, where snowfall rates in excess of 2"/hr are possible. The precipitation is going to come fast and hard, so if you're in this corridor please get to where you need to be for the night with care and caution as quickly as possible.
To start in the next couple of hours here in South Jersey.
thundersnow is badass
The snow in DC gave me an excuse to leave work early. And by early, I mean 5:00.
Yay DC Metro excuse!

just had four or five great blue flashes of very bright lightning followed by satisfying thunder claps...while I was out shovelling. very cool
You know what's badass? Every single person in the Philly area putting "THUNDERSNOW!" on their facebook status.
Thundersnow is my cork's nickname. I was a bit confused for a while about all the facebook status updates.
Yeah, you were like, "I haven't shown it to THAT many dudes, have I?" Then you were like, "Oh, yeah I have. That many and THEN some."
lol I shouldn't laugh at that at all but I did.
farger.
tried to tell everyone the totals would be way down because of a wet ground and temps...snow tonight was way harder than either of the snowpacalypses last year but the totals were way down because of it

im more talking about where i rest my head at but even up there let me know if the way it looks now equates to the amount of inches you think you will get on the ground
i bet it doesnt
The inch plus of sleet last night took care of the ground real nice.
shoveling was 5 x's harder and heavier this time around. had to of gotten a foot plus.
I just picture the snow plow dudes at night in their pick-ups blasting tesla, laughing hysterically because they are able to bury people at the end of their driveways 3 ft high.
shovelling snow is like digging ditches: good for you
all the world should feel the pain you go through digging ditches
So apparently, another 1" coming on Fri-Sat and then another whopper on Tuesday-Wednesday. Possibly worse than this one.

17" in Bensalem. yea that's a little more than 2-4"
We got about 10" in Lanc.
We got a good foot-foot and a half here in NE Philly.
We got about 15 here in South Jersey.
you could have just said "hip deep"
its gonna get down into the upper 40's tonight.
im a getting scared.
Because you have no heater?
He can go pick up some mack-truck lookin' mamacita at a local watering hole to keep him warm.
no shortage of them here
but really, yea, you all need to stop living in the cold. except for the fat ones that cant take a little bit of heat.
Somerton (where I live) got the most amount of snow in the area:
Somerton....... 17.3 (2:25 a.m.)

You know what I love to see? The guys driving around with plows on their pickups that leave the plows up while they're sliding all over the roads or swerving around unplowed areas. Those guys are awesome.
If I had a truck with a plow on it, I wouldn't drop that blade unless I was getting paid to do it. Unlike SD I don't have a family chock full of transmission mechanics.
i'd like to see the dopes in my neighborhood that sent their snow into the streets with their snowblowers come down with shingles.
QuoteA significant storm will bring heavy wintry precipitation to the eastern U.S. in time for Groundhog's Day next week. Some snow totals will exceed what fell in some areas this past week there.

FMLthere is nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE, in our neighborhood to put anymore snow.
It probably hasnt snowed anywhere else either.
yeah cry me a river PG, we all feel bad for you right now.
I'm not living anywhere else. I know the cities (both NYC and Philly) are disasters and if you add 1-2 more feet, its going to be a nightmare.
I'm not talking about anywhere else because I don't live there. Pretty obvious there.
Bring it!!
been coming down in KOP for the last 30mins. yay for my ride home with one crazed co-worker/tailgate associate.
Get out the blowdryer
Snowed all day in Lancaster until about a half hour ago
flurries for the past 2 hours here in Newtown but nothing is sticking

actually last night i finally broke down and went to a tranny-filled mexican dive ball 2 blocks from the border. one of them was actually kinda close and coincidentally enough, she was the only one who left with someone for a few minutes to "go out back."
and that someone was me
good job.
its not gay unless you see her balls.
not only did he see his balls, he cupped them.
I hear trannys give really good bj's.

i went on a run and it was a tad windy

it involves running....anyone? nope? fatties.

All of Texas isn't warm...you should know that Hurricane Havas.
Its going to get down to 2 in Amarillo on Tuesday.

And we pray

its gonna be in cold here for the next 3 days...may get some sleetish ice thing on thursday
schools might be closed. everyone is freaking out. because of 30 degree weather and possible sleet.
It is bitch-ass crazy north of Chicago right now, maybe 300 yds visibility driving home. And this is supposedly the prelude. The really bad stuff won't start until tonight.
Hope we don't lose power (and with it heat).
Yeah it's pretty chilly out down here. Strong north wind and about 30.
Brrrrr.
So it's still windy as hell. But I can still see blacktop on the street. WTF? Snowmageddon wasn't what it was hyped to be.
I'm out by Rockford and almost every major highway (88,80,39) is all shut down. The wind, ice and snow are just killing my crew. We pulled everybody while this latest band of heavy snow moved thru. 3-4' Drifts are all over the place, its very impressive.
you get more MA each and every day and im loving every second of it
Currently 62 in Raleigh. High will be 70 or 71.
By the way, with the number of times PG types "FML" is there any doubt her "L" is getting more action than MURP?
Yeah, Lake County got a lot of snow overnight. It's a mess. We are under civil emergency, with all roads closed until further notice.
Oh, and they're expecting the wind chill tonight to be between -30 and -40. Yippee. At least we still have power.

Jersey drivers, am I right guys?
electricity was out all day today. odd that this little bit of ice/rain was when it went out for the first time in 2 years.
I haven't priced snowblowers yet but it's gotta be worth the investment to never have to shovel again
They're roughly 800 for a good gas one, and worth every penny
Those pics are awesome. I miss crazy snow!
It is supposed to snow/ice here tomorrow.
Got in at 5pm, was pushing snow since 3pm yesterday. They say we only got 15" but the wind made it damn near impossible to see, or clear lots. Our one school 8 miles from town we gave up on when the main drive drifted over. We still have 2 of our 4 schools to do tomorrow. Sherriff's were out on snow mobiles rescuing stranded motorists all day.
storm for next thursday has massive potential according to a couple models particularly the euro...its showing a ridiculous storm that dwarfs the 96 superstorm...seems highly unlikely and its mad early...but its also modeling low temps at around zero which would be wild...lower the temp higher the precip to snow ratio....its definitely one to keep an eye on and its promising that the euro is showing it for several runs in a row now
Everyone down here was getting excited for the 2-3" of snow we were supposed to get.
No snow. But about sheet of ice over everything.

It farging snowed in San Antonio!! There's snow and ice everywhere. I almost slid into the cross street trying to go to work this morning.
I dont know how you do it. It must be even harder now walking across the street with those spurs on your boots.
I came back home. They don't even sell snow tires here and my tiny ass Saturn doesn't do ice. And the spurs help to keep you from sliding when you're walking... no spurs for the car though.

Thats Awesome! :-D i'm sure you loved the crazines, actually knowing what a major winter storm looked like. People didnt really think this one was going to be bad around here. You always here the hype, but this one kicked the shtein out of us!

and phillymic you know that we got (2) storms last year much bigger than what you got this week....the wind is what made the difference for you...so you can stop posting stupid pics of snow
Those pics are actually pretty awesome. Much better than actually having to deal with snow.

Yes the only reason i know is because you blabber on and on about weather models that you look at. The wind did make this storm. I've never seen 6-12' high drifts that go on and on. So excuse me for taking pics during the aftermath. And I was in Philly for the 96 blizzard, my wife and i returned from our honeymoon 2 days before it. Fargin a! went from Hawaii to what was it 33" of snow?
pictures dont show wind or drifting show...like things dont move in pictures...just sayin
You care way too deeply about the stupidest shtein.
The guy wants to show pics of a lot of snow where be lives--who cares? Did you not post a pic of your townhome with a lot of snow last year? Right.
Good pics.
This is not a good havas day

I should go down to that toxic dump called Texas City and snap a few of the BP and Conoco refineries. What a shteinhole, that place.
I went out to the store awhile ago - surface streets are fine and have been since about 0930 - but they still have the beltway shut down.
You mean it doesn't snow out where you live holy hell. I thought we use to call them Noreastern's growing up.
Chicago is a farging AWESOME place to live...except for the winters. Those damn wind tunnels they call downtown are ridiculous. It's one place I'd gladly live again. The city rules! It's just crazy expensive like any major city would be.

We lived in the western suburbs (wheaton, batavia and naperville) for about 14 years. Then we moved about 85 miles west to the sticks! still close enough for a day trip, the kids love it and so do we. Great town, except for Soldier field parking what a cluster farg!!

Yep Dio, an amazing city! Tons of stuff to do and culture out the ass! during the summer we make a point to go downtown about once a month. I was in San fran as a teenager, we drove from San Diego to San fran on rt. 1. Cant wait to do that trek with my family, crazy beautiful in Cali!
When I was still in school in Chicago (went to school right in downtown, was fun but it sucks being a poor college student in the heart of a major city) had a friend that was from out in Naperville. Nice little suburb out there. I really miss the Taste of Chicago. And Giordano's pizza... I'll give a finger for one of those right now.
San Fran was nice too. Was out in Cali for a few months a couple years back. Would love to get out there again. I don't think I saw a single overcast sky the entire time I was there. Absolutely gorgeous state. It's the only place I've ever seen a loaf of generic bread where $5.00 was considered cheap.
I will never behave like this. I love this man.

The last bit with him hopping up and down on the edge really punctuates it.

looks to me that its gonna run south and miss like most el nina patterns do...but there are a couple models saying it could be a hit...
as for now id say places like roanoke and blacksburg are in the bullseye

and then added this 6 hours later:
QuoteA winter storm responsible for heavy snow in the midwest will move to the east coast tonight, bringing snow from Michigan to New York. A second storm associated with the first will pass through the region bringing more snow to the region tomorrow night into Tuesday morning. The snow total map posted earlier today is for snow totals from now through Monday night; additional snow is likely beyond this period. The second system may bring an additional 4-8" of snow above/beyond the snow totals posted on this map for portions of southeastern PA and the southern half of NJ.

Today through tomorrow.
From his page:
QuoteA winter storm responsible for heavy snow in the midwest will continue to bring accumulating snow to portions of the Mid Atlantic & Northeast today. This morning's first batch which brought snow to NYC this morning will draw to a close while a new wave will bring more accumulating snows south by DC, Baltimore, and Philly tonight. By the end of the President's Day Storm, expect storm totals of 4-8" around NYC and Baltimore, and 3-6" in around DC and Philly.
Driving a 26foot U-haul Saturday over the Chesapeake City bridge was fun. I've never struggled that much to keep a vehicle in the lines.
ive got nickel-size snowflakes falling here now
It's a bit windy out
Went from thunder lighting and pouring rain, to extreme wind, to sun, back to extreme wind. There was a huge bang earlier that sounded like a car crash, but I guess it was some Comcast line or something that took a shtein.
It's been windy as anything out here the last couple of days. Supposed to get rain today and possibly some snow tomorrow.

Wow dude. Wow.
Engineering by S.Kimp and C.Heat.
Good thing that building was there to catch it.
I guess it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Any amateur weathermen want to take a stab at how many inches we're supposed to get and what time it should start.
We've been in a fairly serious drought here all winter, but we've gotten probably a half a foot of rain since yesterday. I was watching the local cable channel "weather on the ones" style weather forecast and the girl actually had the stones to do a drought index report. There's flooding everywhere and this twat is doing fire warnings.
And they say television sucks.
i saw a non-weather report from orlando yesterday morning and the rain coming down behind the reporter looked like something serious..thats what you get for taunting us all winter with your sun and flip-flops.
its so windy out my house is making farting noises
Maybe it's windy out because your house is farting.
this storm moving up the eastern seaboard is no joke
It's fargin snowing :(
damn Al Gore
lol really?
Ok, I don't get all uppity towards people who don't subscribe to global warming, but it's kind of annoying (and even predictable) when a fluke cold weather day happens and people say something like "It's snowing in April...global warming, my ass!" Like one or 2 days of flukey weather are enough to discount a theory about the other 180 days of spring/summer.
For the record though, event hough I do buy into some global warming theories, I get equally annoyed with global warming supporters get excited about a warm day in January. Farging idiots.
wow
northeast philadelphia, ladies and gentleman.
it's blowing like a motherfarger down here

Holy hell!
It's like living in SoCal again, eh PG?
I just drove home in this with a nice buzz on, unfortunately for all of you I made it home safely.
Nice sunny day today, but a little breezy. I'll enjoy it, because tomorrow starts another long stretch of lousy weather.
Enough with the April showers already.
My apologies to those of you who were hoping I got killed by a tornado yesterday. All is well here in my little corner of racist Nawth Cackalacky.
I actually forgot you existed.
I was watching the nightly news, they were broadcasting out of Raleigh. For a short second, like .0000033030300003 seconds, i did worry for a guy and his family that i've never met before outside of the interwebs. Shortly there after i had a fte on my shotgun, so its ok to live another day
Pretty sweet close up of 2 of the tornados

It was a video of a tornado.
Last I checked, this is The Weather Thread (http://www.concretefield.info/forum/index.php?topic=20392.1695).
Nah, you missed it before it got deleted.....Chuggie posted something like "Does anyone still jerk off to Kim?" which has since been appropriately moved to the Kim Kardashian thread.
so some more deadly tornadoes hit...this time in missouri and this time directly on a hospital

crazy tornado video
WICHITA, Kansas -- Last night Wichita experienced a very rare weather phenomenon known as a "Heat Burst." At 12:22 a.m. the temperature at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport was 85 degrees. At 12:44 the temperature spiked to 102 degrees. This was a 17 degree increase in only 20 minutes. Winds also gusted between 50 and 60 MPH. The heat burst winds and temperatures rapidly dissipated as they spread across Sedgwick and Southern Butler Counties.
A heat burst is caused when rain falls into very dry air, high up in the atmosphere. The rain quickly evaporates as it falls through the dry parcel of air and that parcel cools rapidly. This dense mass falls rapidly toward the ground, heating up as it compresses. When this hot ball of air hits the ground it spreads out in every direction creating very strong, warm and dry winds.
102 degrees and 50MPH winds? No farging thank you.
that is crazy!
I have a heat burst in my pants.
What's the big deal? It gets hot here and no one complains (except the Yankee transplants)
I'm in Chicago and it was 95 degrees yesterday. This morning it was in the 40s.
F this heat. Im spending this weekend at 9000 feet.
Trips me out when people bitch about the heat when I go back home
"oh my god its 95!"
We wear beanie caps and gloves when its 95 down here.
WE
just another day at the office when its in the 90s
ya'll need to come see how we mexicans do
Actually hotter in Philly than down here the past few days.
back to back all time records set the last two days and todays was set in 1875

snowed enough to sled on in hawaii today....first spring/summer snow in 40 years
You've got to thank him as well because he invented the internet and without it, you'd have never heard about that crazy heat spike in KS.
great thunderstorm right now
easily best of the year so far
We haven't has shtein for rain or storms this year. Pisses me off because I love watching the crazy strong storms down here
wait until the morning of june 23
right. before. im. going to leave.
pretty sure I heard on the news this morning that wages in Brownsville area are worst in the country. 20% below average.
SF/OAK was highest. Baltimore Washington was up there, somthing like 9% above average.
I didn't hear how Philly ranks.
oh, absolutely. so many people come across the border to work (legally even) and they gladly take 5 bucks an hour or whatever they can get
as bad as my salary is its relatively average for first job in the business.
Just taking a guess, I'd say that Philly is +/- 2% of the national average. Never seemed to be great or terrible pay from what I've seen and from what I hear from friends/family still in the area. The pay is somewhat irrelevant though. Cost of living is what really matters. I'd imagine that Brownsville is not an expensive place to live, so the lower wages might not have a major impact. I think Philly's cost of living is probably higher than their average income, which would suck.
That was one of the things I loved in KC. My salary when I lived there was a great salary because the cost of living was so low, but quality of life was pretty good. Living in Cali, I make about $5000 more per year but am budgeted much tighter than I ever was in KC.
are you leaving brownsville little buddy?
cost of living was factored into the study I heard
Quote from: mpmcgraw on June 09, 2011, 08:49:57 PM

sooner or later
i said id give this shtein a few years to see if it works and im through the first one
It's only a year since you've been down there?
well a little more than a year i guess. almost a year and a half. farg.
lol...to see if what works?
Got hailed on at work today. Working outside in thunderstorms=scary shtein
it = this job long term. like if i can move on to something bigger that pays more
when it fails as ive said numerous times before im living in your basement and then and only then will i watch your gay porn rick tocchet tapes
my rick toccher greatest fights dvd is the best sports video youll ever see
well then i look forward that, along with free room and board
You can kill and remove the rodents so Havas doesn't have to resort to tongs.
I'd rather have the rats.
More HUGE storms coming this way....tornado warnings are in effect for the Lancaster area.
If they're anything like Thursday night, it's going to be a long night with my kids. The hail on Thursday (and wind and heavy rain/lightning/thunder) scared the crap out of them.

Is 'tornado warnings' a more recent thing, like last 5-10 years? I don't remember hearing those warnings when I was younger. With every storm it seems they throw out the 'tornado warning' just to cover their ass.
tornado watch = possible severe weather of the type that could cause a tornado
tornado warning = tornado or funnel cloud exists
tornado emergency = dangerous tornado on ground in populated area
Watch and warning have been around for decades, emergency is relatively new (and rare).
while you guys were sweating your asses off on Wednesday and Thursday, it was 65 w/ snow still on the ground in Colorado. Weather rules
It's 3 AM and there's some crazy ass thunder and lightning happening in Philly right now.
In the last 100 years...the L.A. area has registered around 30 tornados I think. I heard. Somewhere. It just reminds me of a funnel cloud in the middle of downtown Miami or some metropolis in Florida within the last 20 years....funnel was in the middle of the buildings.
I don't know what you're talking about spaz, but downtown Atlanta had a tornado hit a few years ago. I stayed in the Westin Peachtree last year when I was down there which is like a 70+ story hotel and they were still working on the damage. A tornado right in the middle of a major metropolitan area is farging weird.
chuggie's talking about this one:
http://www.youtube.com/v/e4RVc_dQQUo?version=3&hl=en_US
Florida gets the most tornadoes per square mile of any state, but they are nearly all weak tornadoes of the type we usually get around Philly. Florida gets a ton of waterspouts too.
Wikipedia has a pretty good list of tornadoes hitting downtown areas. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_striking_downtown_areas_of_large_cities) Over a long enough period of time, nearly every American city will be hit by at least a weak tornado. Most European cities, too.
We got blasted tonight by rain, high winds, etc. Very nice considering it was about 123 degrees out with smoke thicker than it is in Bob Marley's rape basement.
Was flipping through the morning shows today and CBS was talking about the tropical storm that's about to hit eastern Mexico, and Brownsville got a mention. Stay dry Todd
In philly now easy
Supposed to fly back Friday. Might be
Stuck in Houston with j or might just stay the weekend. Exciting times
I am leaving tomorrow to go back to Philly
I won't here for ya buddy
I smell a cf party......

OK Rush.
Let's all get defensive and up in arms about the farging weather.
I love the heat. Airs off and I have a fan running. My room mate will probably come home later and turn it on but I'm good to go.
I bet it's the lead story on the local news up there too right? Maybe reporters on the street interviewing people about how hot it is?
I think it's the lead story on the national news.

Idiot 1: "It's gonna be hot today"
Idiot 2: "What do you mean, it already is hot today"
Idiot 3: "Hot? It's not hot, its humid"
Idiot 2: "Actually, it's hot AND humid"
Idiot 1: "No way, those can happen at the same time?"
Idiot 4: "I may be wrong, but I think this happened around the same time last year"
Idiot 2: "This seems too weird. Heat, humidity, on the East coast, in the summer? I think this is the first time EVER. It's so
farging hot. Let's talk more about it."
Idiot 1: "It's so hot"
Idiot 3: "Yeah, I agree"
6 months later
Idiot 1: "It's farging cold today"
Idiot 2: "I heard its going to snow and hail"
Idiot 3: "No shtein? I get to farging wake up earlier to shovel the snow out of my driveway so that I can drive on ice hoping I
don't get in a wreck so that I can get to work so I can talk to every other icehole there about the weather? Sweet!
Idiot 4: "Yeah, Californians WISH they could experience this shtein"
Idiot 2: "Hey, did you hear? It's so farging cold, it's going to be on the news!"
Idiot 3: "No shtein? That's awesome. I'm going to post about the cold on the internet"
Idiot 1: "Not if I do it first!"

LOL at the idiots who say "Oh, [insert desert city on west coast] is 110 ALL of the time, what are you complaining about?"
Having lived in both, I can tell you they are 100% nothing the same. You can BBQ and hang out in 110 in dry heat without feeling like you'll keel over and suffocate from the humidity.
and yes, I'm complaining. I don't like running on treadmills and I'd rather not die attempting to run in this. It was 93 degree heat index at midnight last night.
I work outside now and we canceled work today because of it. Yesterday two hours into the job I felt like I had worked a full day, cloths completely drenched and just beat physically.

I get a kick out of the panic over the heat wave going on around the country. It's literally exactly the same weather here in Florida but it's like that from late May till late September. Every. Day.

Tough it out, kooks.
I feel the same way. Unfortunately, the moment it rains in So. Cal, it becomes "Storm Watch 20__" farging annoying. When I watch local news, I want to watch how a 10 year old out of Compton made it to junior high with only 2 bullets lodged in their head instead of 10, like normal kids their age. farging rain! :boom

You're both full of shtein.
It's 118 degree heat index in Southern NJ right now. Bionic, there is never ANYTHING like this out there. Ever. 110 degrees in LA is like 80 here. There is no humidity. It's dry.
And Rome, please...118 degree heat index every day? Give me a farging break.
its hotter where i am than where you are... nyah nyah nyah....
florida does not carry a 104/115 slash line in the summer...in fact nowhere in the country does...while i agree people need to shut up about it these are biblically hot slash lines
in fact daytona's ALL TIME record high is 95...florida just doesnt get that hot because of the water
Times like these occur occasionally. Today my in-law's residence in Bath, Maine is hotter than I am in Naples, Florida. In fact, we may not reach 90 today because of how early the thunderstorms started. (Update: Made it to 91 today.)
The trick with Florida isn't how hot it gets - it's how long it's hot. We will be 90-95 just about every day from May 1 until Oct 31, unless a tropical system is pouring the rain upon us. Top that with near 100% humidity every day.
For igy: Naples' record high is apparently 99. We're TROPICAL!
like you said florida is sticky gross for basically five straight months but its heat ceiling is lower than a lot of other places and it never gets as hot as it is in the belly of the neast right now
Daytona's all time record high is not 95 degrees, dummy.
It was 99 degrees June 16th of this year.
I remember the summer of 88 in Chesco. Every day in July but one was over 100.
One thing we can be sure of, SD won't be running to this thread with the weather report to mock the idea of climate change.

The almighty Wikipedia has the record high for Daytona at 102.
Remember 1998, Geo?
Fires everywhere. Temps were in the upper 90's for weeks and over 100 a few times without a drop of rain.
And yeah, 102 is the all-time high. Gainesville hit 108 a few years ago. That's incredible.

PG is spot on here. I've been all around the world -was under the freakin equator line and in the middle East in the dead of their summer - and nothing was like it is today in the Philly region.
And I'm not complaining because I like the heat and would take this any day over 20 degrees and 18 inches of snow, but 100 in Cali/Florida ain't shtein compared to how it feels right now.
it barely ever gets to 100 in florida
and the average high in DC right now is like two degrees less than anywhere in florida...the difference as mentioned by geo is that florida has that for almost half the year...the extremes up here tho are worse

You're right, I see what you're saying. Using a few days worth of weather to proclaim an entire scientifically researched theory true is foolish and ridiculous.
Almost as ridiculous as using a few days worth of weather to mock and insinuate that same theory isn't at all true.

Don't be so sensitive.

The last 2 days prove it's true.

That wasn't specifically for you, it's to share among everybody who has posted in this thread the past couple days
I know, it just seemed like such a random angry outburst :-D
I was sitting at a semi outdoor bar in Jamaica maybe a month ago, and one evening it was maybe 90 degrees and 85 to 90 percent humidity, with no breeze. That was completely nasty. Just sitting there drinking, I could feel the sweat oozing out of the pores in my scalp.
I like to think that week helped ready me for this heat wave. It just doesn't really bother me that much.
I drink a gallon and a half of water and piss once all day in weather like this.
And I've got it easy.
Firefighters in this weather..that's some honorable shtein. I'm thankful for them especially on days like this.
fire fighters on the average day dont get a single serious call....im sure they will survive
you're a contrary bitch
they may not get a serious call but they do get a bunch of bullshtein ones for which they still have to suit up in this heat. That alone sucks.
On days like this they're probably going door to door to remind people not to run the fans with the windows closed.

It defeats Darwinism? I don't know.
Oh, you meant the other thing. A fan running in a closed atmosphere is basically a convection oven, and you'll just make the air hotter.
Sounds like the most logical answer.

It's so bad in some areas that Big Spring, TX may recycle their own piss (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/05/texas-town-urine-recycling_n_919782.html)
QuoteThe thought of drinking your own urine might be disgusting to some people, but one Texas town thinks it might be the best option in the face of one of the state's worst droughts ever.
Big Spring, Texas, home to the Colorado River Municipal Water District, will be experimenting with reprocessing wastewater produced by the town's 27,000 residents, according to Discovery News. Sewage that is typically fed into a creek will be captured by a plant the district has just broken ground on.
I actually find this to be rather progressive thinking for a small, conservative town. Must be something in the water down there.
So I'm just wondering here, did Texas make a pact with the devil and god is now finally getting around to punishing them? Where is Pat Robertson when I need him?
no more rain until its colder
farging mosquitoes make it impossible to step foot outside when there is water on the ground

So we are about to get royally slammed by a hurricane here in Daytona. Looks like we're facing the prospect of a Cat 3 being just off the coast on Thursday. It also seems to be tracking right up the coast towards the Northeast too.

http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at201109_5day.html
Yeah, the track has been inching a bit to the east each time it's updated. Right now, we're JUST outside the cone. That damn thing has a knack of moving back and forth. This one could be a nasty storm too - an outside chance of reaching CAT-4 status if it stays off the coast of Florida.
We're going to get blasted by storm surge either way. The EOC has already been activated and we're being told by our supervisors to expect massive damage, extended power outages, etc.
Damn, that sucks. On the plus side, your power will be out so we don't have to listen to you bitch about it.
WINNING!
Is Maryland going to get wet?
Looks like it's going to hit the RDU area pretty solidly.
Still not a drop here....maybe it will turn this way, we need it
we got a florida summer afternoon storm here. randomly down-poured and 10 seconds later it was back to being blazing hot.
and no to rain until hurricane season is over. dont even wish that shtein J.

Yeah, it's looking more like it will hit somewhere in the Carolinas as a CAT-3 (winds 111-130 mph), and it will be a nasty one. Rome's probably going to be looking at a CAT-4 (winds 131-155 mph), but hopefully far enough offshore to somewhat minimize his damage.

Looks to be making landfall in eastern NC and shouldn't bother us much. Good news for me.
Most of the models are showing it'll prob be a Cat2 or a high Cat1 by the time it gets to the Delaware Valley. That would be ridiculous...I think the first storm to still be a hurricane by the time it got here since I've been alive. The last one I can remember that was still relatively strong when it got here was Floyd back in 1999. But I think that had already been downgraded to a Tropical Storm at that point.
when is this shtein hitting
i have sunday OFF and i want to watch the phils
Was I the only one trying to figure out what OFF stood for? Instead of reading the word 'off', I read 'O-F-F'.

That was the year my parents moved down here, and I was here on my last summer break in college. The day Andrew hit was the day my wife (then fiancee) was supposed to fly down from Maine to drive back to PA. Obviously her flight was cancelled.
My mother overreacted (typical for her) and made us all drive to freakin' Gainesville in a panic over the hurricane. Usually it's a 4½ hour drive, but it took about 7 that day because of traffic. While there, my transmission blew, and I ended up having to stay in the Gainesville hotel for an extra two days while everyone else drove back to Naples.
That week sucked balls like Chuggie's internet persona.

In this case they may cancel the day before, or at least a few hours before. Your ticket will be good for whenever the game is rescheduled.

I really picked the right week to work from home. Normally I'd be flying into DC on Sunday.
i live in a 40 story highrise in north jersey and went to take the dog out this morning, and saw a few window screens already blown from their units..this is gonna be a big one, and im pretty damn excited
The hurricane has tracked further west then they expected already, making the danger for the Philly area even worse.
This is going to be bad.
I know two old people in New Smyrna, wherever that is. I hope they don't get hurt. Nice folks.
farg you.
If this thing goes up the chesapeake, it could be farging amazing and devastating. If i die, SunMo gets my jerseys.
Since there won't be a house on it, I get your land.
Only if you plant your flag on it first. The race is on, motherfarger.
I'll take his 4Runner. SB, please be considerate enough to plug the exhaust so it doesn't drown.
we have a lower lot, it could be yours. only requirement is north east, md/TurkeyPoint gets whiped off the map.
Our expectations for living where we do is we're farged for at a day driving if only trees go down. If its a case of lines on the wires, were farged. Delmarva has been good in the past.
They said the same thing about Ike when it was coming towards Houston about how if it tracked up the ship channel it would be the storm of the century and all that stuff.
Just don't be like those jerkoffs who refused to evacuate and then we read about how they found your body 45 miles away floating in a marsh.
A lot of those people down on Gavleston. Hurricane is coming and I am not leaving! I'm tough!
Tough and dead!
Yeah, if the eye is headed your way, get the hell out.
Don't really have much of a choice here. Everywhere we would go is also in the path more or less....Pheonixville, Newark, etc.
We're not close to any bodies of water thankfully, so really it's just a matter of waiting out the wind. Unfortunately there are plenty of big trees in this neighborhood...I mean trailer park.
Being in the path is fine...just batten down the hatches. Being in the path and living on an island - you're a dumb farg if you stay.
I will never understand the jackholes who stayed down on Galveston and up the coast.
Whats the local news like?
Have people bought all the bottled water and batteries yet?
The gun stores sold out of bullets and pistols.
Things must be desperate down there if they're buying guns legally.
It's very good for the local economy. Provides work for nurses, funeral homes, grave diggers. Good business, a hurricane.

If you're inland, you should be OK. Hopefully it will be down to a Cat-1 by the time it gets to you.
The folks on the Jersey coast need to get the hell out of dodge. The wind won't be the worst part of the storm - the storm surge will be.
Maybe some overtime for those poor bastiches that get to search the water for bodies.
My mom's a lifer at Acme and said it started to get crazy today. Tomorrow's probably going to be unreal there. Though I think a lot of us up here aren't really sure how serious this should be taken, considering a storm this strong hitting here has happened....never?
2 inches of snow? rush to the store and buy milk. 100 MPH winds? Eh, what the hell, it's just wind. Idiots.
I'd like to get some wood to board up a few windows but no time or extra income to do that shtein. Just got the groceries, got the flashlights and candles ready, gonna bring in the umbrella and glass table from the deck, and move the car to a spot where hopefully a tree won't be able to damage it if it falls.
My g/f lives on Long Island and said they'll probably get evacuated to North of Sunrise Highway, but I told her this is possibly a "so bad you need to get the farg off the island" type of storm. Jersey announced their plans today, I assume we'll get New York's plans tomorrow.

There's gonna be so many power outages that I think you'll get your wish regardless.
My house is hard wired into a generator and I have 250 gal. of fuel to run it. Unless one of the huge trees around the house caves the roof in, it will be business as usual.

I've been keeping an eye on this storm since last week, and initially I thought it was going to be really bad for us (obviously since I told you guys about the EOC preparations).
What really has me concerned is the whopping over-reaction in the northeast, though. Cape May County has already ordered a mandatory evacuation. What the hell? The Weather Channel is forecasting armageddon. Weather liars up and down the channels are whipping people into a frenzy, and trust me, this storm is not worth that. Is it gonna be bad? Yeah, it is. For North Carolina & possible southern Virginia. Is it going to cause rain & wind in Jersey & New York. Yeah, it's going to do that too. But it is not going to be the storm of the millenium or whatever. It's going to be the equivalent of a bad nor'easter. And people need to calm down and understand they have plenty of time to make preparations.
1. Remain calm.
2. Get your valuables ready to move.
3. Pack up vehicles.
4. Secure your home.
5. When the storm gets to within 24 hours of hitting, make your decision to leave or ride it out.
6. If you live in a flood-prone area, definitely leave, because regardless you could get stranded.
That's it. That's the list.
Thanks Rome. Bucks County is safe guys!
Real quick-what day is the next earthquake going to hit?
I just want that stupid funhole Irene to keep pushing East so that I can have my fantasy draft Saturday night. Rain and wind is fine. Power outage would be tricky.
My list:
1. Call my connection
2. Sit back, light up, and enjoy the show
The overreactions are funny.

My buddy postponed his weekend NYC bachelor party because of this shtein. I feel like we're missing out on some good hurricane stories because of his lack of testicles. Suck it up folks, it's gonna be Cat 1 max where anyone on CF is. If you're on a barrier island, evacuate. If you're not, stay inside with some food and bottled water. Big deal.

As much as I wanted to experience a hurricane - not having power was what caused me to go to San Antonio when Ike hit. Sitting around with no power, no water and dealing with sweltering temps? Pass.

grocery store was farging retarded last night. people buying 6 and 7 cases of bottled water. morons.
That's not dumb to buy that much Sun. If there was things to load up on bottled water and batteries are it.
If the water goes out for a week or more like here - those cases will come in handy.
Now buying the blizzard prep stuff like milk and eggs and whatever else is dumb. I'm fascinated by the pre-storm shopping phenomenon. If I were a media person I'd do a story on why people feel the need to act like civilization is about to end.

youre talking about cat 4 and 5 hurricanes that you could get down south....this isnt even a hurricane period where we live....we have a tropical storm warning...its gonna be really rainy and slightly windy for a while...thats it....
in fact in north cackalacka where it made landfall it wasnt even that bad
^What havas said
I filled up 2 gallons of filtered tap water in the unlikely event something drastic happens. Buying 5 or 6 cases of bottled water is flat out retarded. Buying bottled water in the first place is retarded and wasteful but that's a different topic for a different day.
And yeah, iceholes are out in droves. I had to run to the bank then took my daughter to 5 and Below to pick a few arts and crafts things up, that way she'll have something to do today and won't drive me insane. Anyway every friggen store is a mob scene and people are already driving like it's the end of the world. I bought a case of beer and am going to order a 2 pizzas and some wings. That way I have food for today and tomorrow. I'll switch the pizza toppings up so I don't get bored.
exactly on the water....fill your own bottles or coolers with tap water...unless your tap sucks and you always buy bottled there is no need to buy bottled before a storm like this
really the only place this storm is going to impact...outside of some localized flooding and power outages...is along the shore with significant erosion flooding and very minor damage to buildings
this is nowhere near the storm they thought it was going to be....some models are showing it curving east but it looks due north to me...this storm never got its act together and all of these mandatory evacuations are going to end up being way over the top....lol indoor school activities were actually cancelled around md-dc-va today....i think the fact forecasters blew this one so badly that it could mean trouble the next time a legit storm does come....but that rarely ever happens in this part of the country anyway
i'm actually pretty impressed with my neighborhood. all the shelves are still stocked and no one seems to give a shtein and nobody is freaking.
i have a bag full of golden goat and stocked up on booze and rubbers just in case we somehow get it bad.
Hurricane forecasting is often off in some way, especially with national forecasts.
In 2004, I went to bed with the national forecasters saying that there was no signs of strengthening, and that Charley should stay off the west coast of Florida and make landfall at the "Big Bend" (where Florida's panhandle starts) as a strong 2 (winds about 100-110). The local guy wasn't so sure - he thought it was showing signs of intensification. I was tired from hurricane preparation (if it's slotted to come anywhere near us, we board the windows and such) and let my wife watch the reports and went to bed.
My wife woke me up early the next morning with the news that Charley was now a Cat-4 with winds around 140. Sometime later, it took basically a right turn into Charlotte Harbor (about halfway between Ft. Myers and Sarasota, or 90 miles south of Tampa). Sadly, Charlotte County and inland (DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands) is about the least prepared area for a hurricane, and there was heavy damage. Even in Lee and Collier County, the cleaning up of trees and restoring of power (and we were pretty far from the eye) took over a week to clean up. My school district was closed for a week.
Three things from this:
1. These storms are relatively unpredictable. Even the best forecasters get parts (wind speed, storm surge, location of landfall) incorrect.
2. The national weather guys (especially the Weather Channel) suck. They're not about giving you information. They're about giving you "the story" and drive up ratings. Shocking, I know.
3. You're not necessarily out of the woods yet, especially if you're in coastal areas or near rivers. This is still estimated to be a major rain and flooding event. Thankfully the wind damage should be minimal.
Speaking of "legit" storms, I wonder how there's anybody left in either Taiwan or the Philippines. They seem to get hit be a 3-4-5 storm every year.

QuoteHurricane Irene has started to turn to the northeast, but is slowing down dramatically.
is it too late to call sundays game back on?
Its just rainy here, but once we get hit, its a guarantee that we have no power. Had a storm 3 weeks ago go thru, couldnt get home for 5 hours and power was out for 13.
We did all the prep we can, both tubs full of water, two 5 gallon jugs full of water, and two cases of bottled water. Lots of propane to cook, and lots of liquor. Should be pretty killer to watch tonight, as some people still have their sailboats on the moorings. I'm expecting to spend the day tomorrow cleaning them off the harbor.

The storm slowing down is a bad thing, means it's going to be here longer.
The cost of mobilizing an EOC is enormous too. They farging blew it this time.
Think the folks down in MD are underestimating how bad the flooding is going to be inland. Yes, the shores are gonna get the worst of it between the wind and storm surges, but right now the Southeast PA/Northern Delaware/Inland jersey are expected to get 8-15 inches of rain. That's ridiculous.
If my house floods, Delaware is gone. They're expecting the Elk and NE river to go up about 4 feet, if not more.
It's awesome looking at the extended weather forecast.
Saturday: Doom and gloom

i'm on the west side of Philly Pike so I seriously doubt I'll have to worry about flooding from there, but just the amount of rain that has fallen plus another 8-15 inches could be a problem. There is a small creek that runs through my neighborhood (As in it was bone try at times this summer) that probably won't be so small by this time tomorrow.
Raining like hell now outside, and some really good gusts going.
sb by any chance to you live in delaware, perhaps within a close proximity to the beach?
im sorry i couldnt resist.
that hurts. I'm more likely going to kill myself tomorrow with a chainsaw cutting the mess up.
I am saddened to think about what this storm is gonna do to Dewey. Northbeach is no doubt going to be gone. hopefully the Rudder and Lighthouse Deck's survive
off to the bizzar.....enjoy your bottled water pussssies
My buddy who works at Northbeach was going to wait it out. He had the police come to his door, and they wanted him to write his info on permanent marker on his body to identify him LOL. Dewey shut off their town water too. He said farg it and is back up in Wilm.

When I was there for the week in june, Northbeach had to close because it got flooded after a few hours of downpoor and high tide. I'm not kidding when i say I think this hurricane wipes it out. Which is very depressing because it's my favorite bar down there. I really hope if shtein does go bad that they get it up and running for next year.

Buying bottled water is dumb because you can get it practically for free and the plastic is wasteful. Ever see that Brita commercial where they say the amount of water bottles sold in the US last year could wrap around the Earth 150 times? All that crap is now sitting in a landfill not biodegrading. You could buy a filter and save yourself money (one filter costs $5 and can fill up 300 water bottles) and stop polluting the Earth in the process. I used to spend 2 bucks a day on water at work. That's $40 a month. Now I fill up my water bottle and am good to go.

Guy on the news showed how the storm is going, combined with the high tide and the way the wind was pushing and it didn't spell good news for that part of the state.

Global warming sheep where you at?
I'm glad Allstate decided to break out the aftermath of a hurricane commercial they used to run 5 years ago just in time to take advantage of this storm.
Power went out about 45 minutes ago. The creek is about to flood over the road around the corner. Wild stuff.
Went outside a few minutes ago and there was no wind and no rain, I could even hear crickets chirping. Seen too many trees fly through houses and tornadoes are springing up all over my area. Decided to crash in my basement.
The calm before the storms is an eerie feeling.
floyd way back in the day knocked a tree from my backyard that was within inches of crashing into the dining room
now that was a mixture of normal hurricane-related story and white privilege
We're still recovering from the dick tease and non-event that Irene proved to be in central NC. My fantasy draft went off without a hitch at 5pm last night. $50 buy-in, and the one guy's sister took ROFLburger 2nd overall. That was funney!/!
My basement took on three or four ounces of water and several of our zinnias were treated rather rudely by the wind.
Did anyone else take such a beating?
hey, lets see how close we can get (he gets pummeled by shtein at 3:08)

My house is fine, we always get a little bit of water behind the bar in our basement, but that's par for the course. Power and cable stayed on the entire time. I drove to Wawa this morning and aside from a couple of trees being knocked over everything is relatively fine.
This storm was like dinner guests who cancel at the last minute: at least the house got cleaned and I've got tons of booze all to myself.

corniest over-hyped storm ever
the tornado warnings that were being touted off by the weather guys/girls last night from 10-11:45pm were off the charts. the cells they showed were no different than the tornado warnings cells we get with a really bad thunderstorm that never come...but this time we had to IMMEDIATELY get to shelter, grab your loved ones to a basement, get cushions from your sofa, put on your catchers gear, etc.
it was a joke and I slept like a baby in bucks county.
thats exactly what it was...a prolonged summertime afternoon thunderstorm but without the thunder
question: dumber audience---weather channel or fox news?
other than oprah i think women love the weather channel more than anything in life
my moms is friggin addicted to it
and as we all know women are pretty farging dumb....so i vote the weather channel
is this the same lady who a. popped you out her butthole 47 years ago and b. almost won survival last year?
that be her
Had no power from a little after 11:30 last night until 1:30 this afternoon. No damage here, but the elderly couple down the street had a tree fall on their driveway and crush 1 or 2 vehicles. The tree was owned by the next-door neighbor.......their daughter...

I was out of power from 9:30 last night 'till 9:00 pm today. Wind was bad, blew down a lot of trees in my neighborhood. The pumping station right up the road crapped out and so did a lot of houses. Theres crap trucks a plenty right now pumping the sewer, one right on my street. I've been going in a bucket.
So, normal life on the Eastern Shore.

Exactly. At least with a hurricane, rain, wind, etc. you have fair enough warning and some time to prepare. Imagine a tornado, earthquake or tsunami. Remember those cars on the bridge when the tsunami hot Japan? Nowhere to go and no time to react. Learned my lesson about "over preparing" after our tsunami alert back in March. Better safe than sorry.
No Phils for two days in August, pre-zzzzzzzzzzzzeason football, hurricanes, earthquakes across the US, its time for some surf.
Check this sick shtein out from Tahiti yesterday. This is coming our way starting late tomorrow. Calling for 12 foot + faces on the south shore.

NYC completely farged up during this stupid thing. The only reason they over-prepared the way they did was due to the way they bungled the snowstorm cleanup this past winter. Among other things, evacuations of residents and COMPLETE SHUTDOWNS OF TRAINS AND BUSES were not neccessary - and only ended up causing the city an entire Sundays worth of revenue, not only in travel, but on Broadway where they cancelled shows, restaurants which didn't need to be closed, etc.
The media (and moreso the idiots who listen(ed) to everything it reported) were the sole reason this got as out of hand as it did. Full day reports about a tropical storm? The media should be absolutely ashamed of itself.
So thats a hurricane. huh. Didn't even knock my power out.
where they farged up was saying anything at all. they should just let you bitches fend for yourselves. mainly for my enjoyment.

I think most longer range models see it shifting straight upwards and hitting Canada or going back out to sea, no?
New Orleans is in some trouble again...20" of rain to fall this weekend. Let's hope the repairs on the levies were completely done. :(

The models have been trending west. For Irene, the trends started over Florida and trended east.
The paths won't really be known for several days. Today it appears that most converge over New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. There was a stray model having it stay west over Florida this morning, but that one was gone this afternoon.
Katia is going to do exactly what Irene did only it's going to get caught up by a front and get pushed out to sea.
Book it.
I tried, but bodog won't give me any action on it.

Crazy flooding in the middle of PA. Close to Agnes levels.
I work on Wissahickon Ave in Germantown, have to take the Fox street exit to get there. Mud slides and flooding forced them to close the Roosevelt Blvd, so everyone had to take alternate routes. I tried going down Hunting Park but traffic was ridiculous. Took a couple back streets to make my way over to work. If you're familiar with the city you know the neighborhoods around those areas are pretty much as bad as it gets. I'm on a side street and I see this tall, fat, black chick on a corner. She looks to be in her late teens early 20's. She's got her pants down to her ankles, her g-string down near her thighs, and her hand up her kooch. I have no idea what she was doing but it made for an entertaining morning commute. That and almost getting into an accident with some icehole who decided to try to pass me on the left while I was trying to make a left turn...he actually tried to swerve around me into oncoming traffic.

Global Warming Climate Change
Whatever you say, Rick Perry.
Yes Al

for real....whats the world come to when being called al gore is a diss
Come on man, Al gore is to Climate change what Al Sharpton is to race issues. Total hype! wait, cue the polar bears :paranoid
Months ago I pointed out the heat wave as a sign of climate change in jest of people of SD's ilk trying to say cold weather means no climate change...and SD got all pissy about it.
:-D
Deny climate change, deny evolution, good for you, ignorance is king.
The Earth is only 6000 years old
And flat, don't forget flat.
And the sun revolves around it.
There really is no sun, it's a liberal conspiracy to make us all think everything is ok.
The "science" behind this sun is a load of bullshtein.
The sun has nothing to do with the weather, only man does.
We have about 4-5" on the ground here and a lot of the traffic lights have gone out and trees are coming down.
I got ahead of the mess at the airport tomorrow since Continental issued a travel waiver; which means no change fees or fare differences and moved my flight to Tuesday.

Rainy f'n day.
today is when i relish public transportation and the train station being a mile from the cirbbo....rain alone makes for a nightmare commute but i was watching news this morning and there were no less than six accidents in the area
I hate driving in weather like this, its hard to see with oncoming traffic, and the pooling of water on the side of the road makes for hairy corners.
So IGY, what does the winter weather forecast look like this year? Compared to previous 2 years this year has been pretty mild into the first week of December.
i dont really pay attention to forecasting the future because i dont think anyone has any idea what they are talking about when they give them...also you could have a really warm winter but if you get two big storms you may suprass your average snowfall...or a cold winter where all the energy misses so no snow
i really only follow on a storm by storm basis.....the rest is hooey
btw fwiw henry margusity who is as accurate as anyone in short term furturecasts says he forsees three storms hitting the east coast btwn now and xmas...but he is a known snow lover and tends to lean more snow than less whenever its a question
I just got wondering since they're saying we have a shot of snow tomorrow. I think the farmers almanac said that it would be a mild winter with one major storm.
farmers almanac is a worthless rag...its like a weather horoscope
i dont know if its possible for weather to be better than it is in the northeast starting yesterday and going to sunday...warm but not hot or humid days and chilly nights...just unreal
gettin beats on the patio next to the old pond with a pickle juice jar full of rose FTW this weekend
what are all the other east coast heads doing...cookouts galore?

Getting a bushel of crabs tomorrow afternoon. Yardwork and kayaking planned for the morning.

i love winter so i dont know if i could give up really cold and snow and shtein but if i did it would be for this
i got a groupon offer this week for that thing matty...sounded cool
I'm getting crabs tomorrow too. Which strip club are you getting yours from?
Going to Parx tomorrow. When there's a big horse race they have a bunch of free shtein for kids in the picnic area, we usually sneak beer in and bbq. Sunday I'm going to the MMRBQ. Off on Monday.
Weather is gonna be beautiful this weekend(Mid 70's and sunny). Only problem is the weather expected for the next 4 hours...Tornado watches all over MD and PA
The wife had TWC on and they were going over Tweets... One was from "Holidill from Baltimore- I wish tornados had names like hurricanes as in "Tornado Omar comin'" lol
the wire is life
definitely the funniest thing i've seen since the hurricane in august on TWC. Considering that's the last time i watched twc. Hopefully someone recorded it.
This just in... It's beautiful out here. Probably the last nice day we'll have till October.
Newsflash;
It is summertime. Its hot.
I don't understand the constant posting of how hot it is on Facebook or in conversations with people.
OMG its gonna be 104 today!
People were griping about the heat all week and my response was that we live in farging Houston what do they expect?!
this is the hottest its felt to me since ive been down here
and it aint that muggy humid shtein yall got. this be straight powerful heat.
It's going to be hotter in the Northeast than in Southern Florida all of the next 10 days.
Of course, this is when I'll be traveling north...
99 degrees tomorrow. Should be a lot of fun.
We caught a pretty impressive thunderstorm last night. 70+ mph winds. Lights out, trees down, trash in the road (not counting the Baltimore natives).
Took until 6am yesterday to get power back. We lost multiple trees, but luckily avoided damage to our vehicles and house. I'd say easily intensity wise this storm was worse than Hurricane Irene last year.

If the planet were run by monkeys, this would make sense and we'd never hear about the weather again...but it's us human motherfargers and we have some programmed bullshtein in our DNA that has been passed on that when something happened to humanity in the past that affected us, we tend to remember, and the internet is a way to let everyone else know we remember that sometime 100,000 plus years ago, it was hot one summer...and since then, we can't stop talking about it.
*Humanity maybe millions of years older than that, but I just chose that round number.
Otherwise, farg people talking about the heat and the cold.

Unless it goes above 95 I don't throw my air on. I have a decent fan that cools me off and there's a nice breeze that shoots through my house. AC is bad for the environment, aside from Dio I'm sure you Earth lovers who cry about Global Warming every chance you get run yours whenever you break a sweat.
i actually keep my shtein on 78 in the summer and my god what are you smoking tonight.....dont you have to work tomorrow
yeah...I've been have trouble sleeping for some reason. I pretty much cut caffeine out of my diet but it hasn't helped.
lol....what the hell does caffeine have to do with anything?
and why are you not comin to new orleans
My body is sensitive to caffeine, it lingers in my system longer than most peoples. Even if I have it in the morning in the form of Decaf coffee I can still feel its effects later in the day. I have other issues too [obviously] which I don't feel like getting into.
Don't know if I'll have the dough for NO, but I've definitely considered it. I'm still up in the air as to whether or not I can make it.
I think you can make it. I'm going to be there...why wouldn't you want to go? There's a 50/50 chance you'd see me naked.

I want to go, always wanted to visit the big easy, but I'm a single father who has to find a sitter for the entire weekend and there's an outside chance I'll start training for a new position around that time [that'st he plan]. Money is tight at the moment too.

You're 100% spot on with me. I love AC. Love it. When the apocalypse comes there are only a handful of things I'll miss. Sunday football all day. Stanley Cup hockey. Internet porn. And motherfarging air conditioning. The only times I want to sweat is when I'm exercising or boning.
Ha. We lost our power again from 12:30am Sunday till 7pm last night. Thank god for a generator to keep my bacon safe, and run the well. What does suck is my generator just doesnt have enough juice for me to try and run the AC. I'm sure it'll run, but i'm not chancing a geothermal system for my fatty needs.
speaking of weather....xhamster.com just trumped pornhub.com on my computer.
get involved.
108 is the predicted high for me today. A/C will be running non-stop today.
I keep my AC at 71 at night, and it drifts up to 80 during the day if it ever makes it that high.

Hurricane Isaac has shifted to a westward track and is bearing down on Louisiana. New Orleans folks are already preparing and Jindal has declared a state of emergency.
If it flattens out a bit more to the west then Houston is in the cross-heirs.
Unfortunately the local schools had to call off yesterday to prepare as emergency shelters. Probably didn't need to.
it rained more here today than it will in florida because of that hurricane
we got almost 3 inches
Thats what she said.
Nice to see New Orleans not thinking they're invincible this time around.
I'd say they've probably learned their lesson on that particular front.
Turned out to be pretty much a non-event here. Intermittent downpours, a little breezy, not much else. Romey may be getting worse weather than I am.
Started raining around 3:00 yesterday and has been going on and off ever since, mostly on, especially this morning.
It's gray & gloomy out.
pretty sure the worlds about to end
Looks about an hour from me and the heart of the storm is going to pass right through
Just got the generator gassed up and ready to go.
it was a dud....very little wind even....downpoured for about five minutes...incredible temperature drop tho....went from 88 to 67 in ten minutes....i have my back door and windows open now....its so crisp and cool....such a nice break from the sickening humidity of the past five days
I had on WBAL11 and it was hilarious listening to how flustered the weather people were with angry callers pissed for broadcasting weather over the ND/Purdue game.
It seemed to die out just as it hit the bay here.
Local news stations are the worst when severe weather hits.
Or when any weather hits for that matter.
I always laughed my ass off when I lived back in PA and it was about to snow. LIVE ACTION NEWS TEAM COVERAGE! They'd have some slappy at the PennDOT barns reporting on the trucks about to go plow and salt. Then they'd have the stupid man on the street interviews and begging viewers to send pics of snow totals.
yeah its pathetic watching these clowns...i will say tho this time i got the emergency broadcast johnson that comes from the national weather service where you cant even change the channel on your cable box
it is validly cold right now...i just put on a hoody....love it....
tomorrow is going to be a cool crispy fall like football sunday...brandon wheedon knuckle up and guard your grill
We'll be in the 80s this week and lows tonight are mid-60s. I'll take it since it was high 90s this past week.
Bring on the hoodie weather - fav time of the year for sure
speaking of weather this week, this looks like a kind of nasty low pressure system you wouldn't want to be caught under.

Whats the happs on Sandy? I'm curious what the storm surge would be coming up the bay. Mainly because i have a hunting pontoon setup on the water and its a pita to move.
http://www.wtop.com/884/3092498/NOAA-to-East-Beware-of-coming-Frankenstorm
With computer models locked in on the eventuality of a punishing blow for East Coast from Hurricane Sandy (with the latest model runs favoring the northern mid-Atlantic), analyses suggest this storm may be unlike anything the region has ever experienced.
Model simulations have consistently simulated minimum pressures below 950 mb, which would be the lowest on record in many areas.
"MODELS SHOW PRESSURE WELL BEYOND WHAT HAS EVER BEEN OBSERVED NEAR THE NJ/NY COAST (EVEN EXCEEDING THE 1938 LONG ISLAND EXPRESS [HURRICANE])", writes NOAA's Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC).
Connecticut meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan noted there has only been one tropical storm with the pressure below 960 mb in the last 60 years in the Northeast.
Bob Henson of the University Center for Atmospheric Research adds:
While a couple of hurricane landfalls in Florida have produced pressures in this range, most cities in the Northeast have never reached such values, as is evident in this state-by-state roundup. The region's lowest pressure on record occurred with the 1938 hurricane at Bellport, Long Island (946 hPa).
In the mid-Atlantic region, here are some record low pressures, which could be blown away - depending on the track of the storm:
Baltimore: 971 mb
Richmond: 966 mb
(Source: extremeweatherguide.com)
NOAA's HPC cautions that sometimes models lower pressure in these storms too much, and favors Sandy to bottom out near 965 mb on its approach to the East Coast - which would still be in record territory in many areas.
You might ask yourself, aren't hurricanes supposed to weaken as they head north? Why are these pressures so low? Or as the Weather Channel's Bryan Norcross put it: "What the hell is going on?"
Norcross' answer: "This is a beyond-strange situation. It's unprecedented and bizarre."
He then offers a hypothesis (which I agree with):
The upper-air steering pattern that is part of the puzzle is not all that unheard of. It happens when the atmosphere gets blocked over the Atlantic and the flow over the U.S. doubles back on itself. Sometimes big winter storms are involved.
The freak part is that a hurricane happens to be in the right place in the world to get sucked into this doubled-back channel of air and pulled inland from the coast.
And the double-freak part is that the upper level wind, instead of weakening the storm and simply absorbing the moisture - which would be annoying enough - is merging with the tropical system to create a monstrous hybrid vortex. A combination of a hurricane and a nor'easter.
A simpler explanation: the clash of the cold blast from the continental U.S. and the massive surge of warm, moist air from Hurricane Sandy will cause the storm to explode and the pressure to crash.
These historic low pressure levels simulated by the model are equivalent to a category 3 or 4 hurricane, which have peak winds over 115 mph. But Sandy's winds will not be that high, because as it transitions into this hybrid hurricane-nor'easter, its core will unwind. So its peak winds will diminish, but strong winds will be felt over a vast area. Think of a compressed slinky expanding as you let it go.
WJLA meteorologist Ryan Miller notes 66,549,869 people live in the National Hurricane Center's track zone for Sandy. A large percentage of these people will likely contend with tropical storm force winds - 40-60 mph, if not somewhat greater.
I'll conclude with this note posted in the blog by AccuWeather senior Vice President Mike Smith:
A very prominent and respected National Weather Service meteorologist wrote on Facebook last night,
I've never seen anything like this and I'm at a loss for expletives to describe what this storm could do.
How does this affect Sunday? Wet and soggy tailgate, yes?
at this point its tough to pin down hour by hour but tailgate should be ok
theres a good chance rain moves in at some point during the game...but that could easily be pushed back to the late afternoon/early evening
Gotta love how the media is trying to out-doom each other with the warnings. They're acting like totally irresponsible iceholes and will be the first to decimate the forecasters for their predictions afterward.
But seriously though, everyone on the east coast is going to die.
Actually, I see it more as them going, "Look, guys. This could get bad, and we don't want you to look like those idiots from the whole Katrina incident. Just in case, be ready to not be those guys. Do you remember how you laughed at them? People are going to laugh at your dumb, fat ass just as hard if it all goes to hell."
The eye of the storm is literally due east of me right now. We're getting hit by consistent 40-50 MPH winds with higher gusts and teeming rain. Granted we've been through dozens of these storms, but everyone here is yawning at this shtein. Now, it could get worse as it goes further north, but still, the level of panic from officials up there is just off the charts.
I mean, ordering mandatory evacs when the storm is three days out at the earliest? I could farging walk from Sea Isle to Philly in three days, for God's sake. Calm down, already.
Sure, but just in case the storm also opens up a portal to Hell...

I think most of the hysteria is directed at the fact that this hurricane is going to be combining with two other systems and a mass of cold air that's gonna spark off some even nastier storms than just what the hurricane is bringing
I dont think I've ever been this scared in my life.

We just had a small tremor here about 15 mins ago. I heard it coming for about 5 seconds before it shook. I ain't be sleeping well the rest of the night.
care factor - negative 19
Earthquakes are not weather. Also this thread cracks me up.
Natural disasters not worthy of a new thread.
farg earthquakes and farg tsunamis. Our annual civil defense drill last night. Tidal surge of 1 foot. If you're gonna hit than farging hit hard.

It was earthquake weather. So, yes it is.
So the biggest problem with this storm to me is protecting my daughters trampoline. Yeah I know it's only a stupid trampoline but it cost $200 [birthday present from Grandmom] and she loves it. So I turned it on it's side and wedged it between my house and the wooden fence. Then I put a bunch of heavy bags and rocks on it and filled my trashcans with heavy rocks and wedged them alongside it. Hopefully that does the trick.
No work tomorrow and I have a case of beer so other than that life is good.
It's not possible to just fold the thing up?
No. I tried dismantling it but in order to do so I would have to untie the net that goes around it. The ties are double knotted and I spent 30 minutes on one but couldn't get it. Tried finding someone with a truck so I could throw it in my moms garage but no luck.
Get your husband to untie it for you?
Here's what I'm dealing with. The trampoline is filled with heavy shtein and the other side is fortified too.

Don't mind me, I'm just cranky today. Apparently I do give a shtein about the stupid Eagles.
Good luck today East Coasters. May the weather gods be with you.
sandy intensified as it started moving closer to Jersey, which I don't think they were expecting. The storm surge is going to end up flooding the new york subway system.

The Delaware beaches are also pretty much farged. Route 1 is already under water in a lot of spots

Two sailors missing from HMS Bounty, which was en route from CT to FL. 14 others rescued by Coast Guard.
On CNN right now, they keep playing a video in the background from Montauk, New York I think....it shows a flooded street, with a family on a small boat, a guy next to them walking in thigh high deep water, in front of them is a dude in a kayak, and in front of him is a guy in scuba gear with tank and all.
They just said on ABC that the ocean and bay are meeting each other on Dickinson and Van Dyke streets in Dewey.
THis makes me sad.

Matt and I had friends over and got blackout drunk in our front yard. Suburban East Falls Church was impressed with our maturity.
Water is up to our beach house already from the bay. A neighbor had a watermark for the storm of 62, and this thing has surpassed that before it has even hit land. Chances are I'll be posting in the Home Improvements section about the beach house for the time being

Holy shtein what an insufferable douchebag Chris Christie is.
Basically he said "I told you so" to people who refused to leave. That's nice, you fat disgusting pile of shtein. What about people who couldn't leave because they didn't have the ability to get out?
God I hope he dies on fire.
I'm willing to bet that 9 out of 10 had ample opportunity to get out. I do not think we should risk lives saving people who could have evacuated, were told to do so, and did not. Fine, it's America, you can stay. But we ain't coming in after you once shtein gets ill.

The funny part is he was all pissy at the Atlantic City mayor for telling his citizens to stay in the Atlantic City shelters instead of evacuating....I thought the local governments always knew best, tubby
Exactly. The northern part of the city is a shteinhole. There's newer construction but the Inlet is one of the worst ghettos you've ever seen. But other than poor people, there's old folks who simply can't go anywhere. And the tone in his voice is what riled me up. He has absolutely no compassion for anyone and he deserves a double tap to the back of the head as a result.
Easily the best part of the storm:

re: people who aren't evacuating
If they had their own means to leave and chose not to, enjoy death and hopefully your family gets your body back.
If they're too poor to get out then I have no real sympathy either. Call the goddamn city or police and say "I wanna get out of here". This is 2012 where means are readily available to get out if you desire. It's not 1863 for chrissakes.
When Ike hit here in 2008 some hardasses chose to ride it out on Galveston island. They found their bodies about 20 miles away.

You call the police or city and ask to be taken to a shelter, genius.
on what phone? i aint pay the phone bill in months. i call on ma girls phone but cant get through!

A high of 21, a wind chill of 6, and it's supposed to be liek this until next week.
Apparently there's a chance of "significant accumulation" from the snow they're calling for on Friday.
IGY, what's your boy saying about Friday. Liveweatherblogs is saying 4-8 inches
Go to Eastern PA Weather Authority website or like them on Facebook and youll always be updated way in advance.
They are the most accurate with a full comprehensive description and all the models you'll want. Nerd central for weather.
I'd rather follow Havas on Twitter. He does that, right?
I wore shorts today.
I miss the snow but youse can keep that 6 degree shtein.
I was digging today and glad for the breeze.
Snot frozen to your face?

The original call for my place was about 5". Gotta say, my 1st winter living back in PA has been rather disappointing with the snow fall. We've been getting all these annoying dustings with maybe an inch or 2 about (at most, sometimes less than that) once or twice a week for the last month. I want at least 1 legit winter storm.
Its been like that the last few years...the area hasn't seen much snowfall in about 3yrs. There was a little when I was there last year and this year but not much

Wish I was back home for a blizzard. Miss that shtein
I was here over xmas/new years in 2010/11 for that blizzard that postponed the Eagles/Vikes game until a Tuesday. Was supposed to fly out Monday but the airport was closed and we ended up staying an extra week. At least I got to see Joe Webb.

Eww.
Yep. Miss the cold weather.
I'm finally getting reacclimatized to it after living in Cali for 4 years. Cold temps don't bother me, but it's that kind of biting cold that comes with even a slight breeze that I'm just starting to get used to again. I also need to stop wearing jeans with holes in them. That might help.
farg the cold. It's fine once the transition to winter happens but then after xmas it's the farging worst. Skies are always gray, you have to scrape ice off your car every morning, commuting to work in snow sucks. farg it all to high hell.
oh please please please move away, go south to your people.
the actual act of the blizzard is awesome...being around when it hits and drinking the day away is fun
the aftermath, especially in philly, is the WORST
I called out. The weather will probably be fine until tonight but I'm going to error on the side of caution.
You are going to err on the side of caution.
that too
Gray skies right now, but kind of warm with no wind, no rain, no snow. Worst blizzard ever.

while EPA is really good, i hate that they shut their radar off at the state lines
the set up still looks great this morning....temps are going to be a problem tho....the storm is going to have to create and pull in its own cold air
also looking like tuesday nite now
gfs model just came on board after saying very little snow for next week
massive hit of 1-2 ft of snow--but still so far away that it all can change
I'm starting to get a weather boner, should i put it away?

all the ingrediants are there...but all the ingrediants have been there all winter and nothing has happened...and when you are in a pattern of misses it usually stays that way thru the season
id say be 30% stiffy and 70% blue balls
this storm better happen, I want real snow
dc/balt still on track to get blown up
temps still an issue but as of now a foot of snow looks promising if everything holds....cant be said enough tho....this has been the case with at least a half a dozen fronts this winter and nothing has happened....for the pattern to change and all of sudden a monster hit would be unusual
a foot would be acceptable
I plan to shovel my whole block this time.

imo a foot will not happen because the ground temp will be too high....a foot or more of precip looks realistic right now but much of it is going to melt on contact
as of today its looking like 3-4 inches in the Philly area now....balt and dc should get belted
yeah this is a true mid atlantic storm and is even trending more south...kind of the opposite of the storm that hammered new york and new england last month but barely touched philly and didnt even sniff balt/dc
i want some bay effect snow.
just my opinion but two inches of wet snow tops
liquid is going to be here but not temps

It's wicked nice of them to label the Atlantic Ocean.
Also...what a weird storm. They don't often look like this, right?
not unusual for late in the season when temps are warmer
When was the last time we got a snow storm with this kind of shape/direction?
i dont know what you mean by shape and direction....i thought you meant the wide range of snow totals within a really small area

I mean heaviest snow centered on DC/Baltimore and descending values further from that area in all directions...plus the storm is coming more from midwest than from the north or from the Atlantic...both of these strike me as unusual. normally I'd expect snow to get heavier to the west and lighter/wetter toward the east...
etc.
But I have no idea what I"m talking about...

We have dick-all in Baltimore. A dusting on grass and cars, rain falling.
What a shame.
36 out here on the upper bay, windy, rain. Snow melted at 5am.
bad news: got one inch which melted
good news: got off work
So we're going to get no snow now, right?

the big difference is that houston is a bogus "city"....much of their population is not city but suburbs...where as chicago is a true metropolis
houston claims 656 sq. miles as their 'city"
chicago claims 228
Texas Wins. Guns win.
The point of the picture is empirical evidence shows a causal relationship between cold weather and murder. Isn't it cold in Philly too? Start shooting, fatties.
Houston sucks. Havas is right - this place is a fraud. shtein is spread out everywhere

6" of snow fell yesterday/last night. Since it's supposed to be 40 degrees (F) tomorrow, I'm not shoveling.
I drained the snow blower after the last storm bust, and took the snow plow off the tractor. I'm with you t-hawk. F this snow. Let it melt
Been snowing here all morning. Ground is almost completely covered, but you can see some taller grass poking through.
We got so much rain last night, I had to take the day off to go clean up the basement 'cause the motherfarging sump pump fried its motor trying to keep up. Some of Chicago's suburbs canceled school because of how much it rained....never heard of that one before.
We had 3.5 inches of rain between 5 & 6 this morning. It was teeming down so hard, I actually woke up out of a sound sleep. Clear as a bell out now, though. We really needed the rain because we started getting brush fires again, and that's never a good sign around these parts.
It's time to move out of Moore, OK

Want warming? Come on down to the Swamp.
Wild storms yesterday. Last night around 10:30pm, had another round of storms pass. Right around that time an explosion went off at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. My assumption is that lightning struck unexploded ordinance somewhere on the range at the base, because that sound wasn't any kind of thunderclap. I've heard hundreds of ordinance rounds over the past few years. Can't find a thing on it of course.

This is just as ridiculous as when people think warm day in January proves that global warming is real. Sometimes it gets cold when it's supposed to be hot. Sometimes it's hot when it's supposed to be cold. Neither proves or disproves climate change.
It's like saying that Ben Revere is a great hitter because he has a 4-4 day three times a season.
Something as complex as the global climate isn't going to be explained with simple observations. It's taken decades of observation and the proof is absolute. The climate is changing and we're the cause.
But a guy from the Heritage foundation said otherwise today on NPR.
At what point do major media outlets stop giving "equal time" to unequal people. They don't invite a holocaust denier to every discussion about WWII. They don't conference in with the Truthers whenever they discuss 9/11/01.
Enough of these fools.
They stop giving equal time when the audience stops watching it.
npr has an audience?
You'd call them hipsters.
Their audience is everyone?

possible tornado by christiana mall right now
A lot of people are bitching about this gloomy weather...I'm loving it. No idea why.
I'd love it if a mall and a bunch of vapid consumers were destroyed by a tornado.
I'd love a rainy day.

This weather blows. I love a good storm once a week but this raining every day shtein sucks.
Also, if there was a tornado at Christiana Mall, I'm pretty sure that's the 3rd tornado in like the last 2-3 weeks Delaware has seen.
Didn't even have a drop of rain the past two days at my place. I'm getting tired of watering the garden.
http://robertscribbler.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/jet-stream-over-us-so-weak-weather-systems-are-moving-backwards/
QuoteAn extreme US summer that has featured floods and heavy rains in the east and drought and devastating fires in the west boasts yet one more bizarre weather pattern: a backward moving storm system.
As of last week, a strong frontal boundary had swept into the southeastern US bringing with it another dose of heavy rains and storms. Then the system stalled. Over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the front and associated low pressure systems have backed up, moving from east to west, passing over the Appalachians, then the Tennessee River Valley, then the Mississippi, until today it reached a central region stretching from Texas all the way north to the Dakotas.
This retrograde weather is a very uncommon, but not unheard of, event. In the context of an already strange summer, it adds yet one more anomalous weather pattern to the list.
I noticed that with the rain here last week. It was coming off the Atlantic and moving NW. We had some rain the other day that was moving directly south to north, strange but not that strange for this area.
absolutely unbelievable out tonight....sitting on my deck and theres a valid chill in the air....bring on college football
It's so hot and humid my balls are sticking to my leg
I dont know how you do it
It was 98 degrees and the humidity was soul crushing here today.
Of course when it's 30 degrees there it's 65 here, so it's a trade off.
My school district has taken control of the A/C from the principals. It's been damn hot in our building all year - probably about 80+ in the afternoon.
And, of course, the district office (built from a former mall, so it's huge) can double as a meat locket it's so cold.

They tried that shtein with us. We hacked the code in no time and reset the temp from max cold from 78 to 72. farg em.
The AC in my house is working just fine. Can't wait for 35 degrees though. When I leave Baltimore, I'm going where it's colder.
When I leave Florida - and I will someday - I am heading north. Maybe to Maine.
Aside from the rain the weather in Philly has been nothing short of perfect. Haven't used my AC in over 1 month.
why do white people love the cold so much
Easier to spot undesirables in the snow.

92 farging degrees down here. In November.
It's not that warm here (82) but it's disgustingly humid out. I'd kill for a day like this in summer but in November it's just plain awful.
Same here.
It was in the 30s the other morning and then this weekend we had record highs.
I want some goddamn chilly weather
43 and Windy in mrrland at sunrise. Time to get the wood stove going.

It's called winter you stupid Floridian.
They're cancelling school tomorrow in areas because of the cold. Are you farging kidding me?
Morning windchills are supposed to be in the negative high teens and 20's, frostbite and other health concerns will do that.
I would say I never got off for school because of cold weather...but I also don't think it ever got this cold here when I was growing up.
We had work Friday, I had to call out because my daughters school was closed and I couldn't find a sitter. They delayed opening until 11 AM and let people go at 3. For the people that called out which was 90% of my office they want them to use 8 hours leave which is bullshtein. They also neglected to take care of the lot. A pregnant girl I work with slipped on the ice and fell and had to go to the hospital. So they made people drive in zesty weather for 4 hours of work and neglected to plow the parking lot or sidewalks.
You could always go back in the Navy.
Death first
That might be truer than you think if they keep forgetting that ice.

Wifes school district is still holding to a normal schedule despite all surrounding counties even in other states are cancelling. They sent out a warning to parents tonight just to remind them to dress their kids accordingly, and parents were either flipping out about how school should be cancelled, or how the school doesn't need to tell them how to dress their kids. These people reproduce at incredible rates around here.
It's not a new concept....schools up in upstate NY and those other areas cancel for cold weather all the time, they're used to this shtein.
The reaction in my district has been half and half...a lot of parents saying "it's for the safety of the kids!", other saying "man up!"
It was 77 degrees here at 10:30. The low tonight will be 29.
there was light sleet around here today
LIGHT. SLEET.

It was 50 where I'm at yesterday, by midnight it was 5 degrees. Its 3 degrees outside now.
And wifes school district did close about 2 minutes after i posted last night.
We got all the way down to... 47.
... but there's a WIND CHILL (emphasis by the weather bunnies down here)... of 42!
its unbelievable to me that schools would close for this shtein.....im proud to say that no real maryland counties did....meanwhile just about all of virginia shut down....
virginia is for bitches
http://essentials.baltimoresun.com/macro/school-closings/
panhandle and kkk counties
Dookie doesn't have winter clothes
i mean, do schools in minnesota and north dakota close for cold? i would find it hard to believe. put an extra layer on little johnnie and make sure he wears his hat and gloves and send his ass to school
http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/422850/
Apparently they do, but its when the Governor declares an emergency. My wifes school district was resolute they would be open, but they had to bow down to sissy ass parents who were saying they would not be sending their kids to school. Bottom line, people are soft. My coworker lives just outside Kennesaw, GA and his kids are off because of concerns of the windchill and the buses not being able to maintain heat.
yeah, so like when it's -30 and -60 windchill they cancel. i get that. no need to cancel for 0 degrees and -20 windchill imo.
-20 windchill can cause frostbite pretty fast.
I have a friend who grew up in Syracuse NY and he said they got off for extreme cold more often than they did for snow
I have no students today. This 50 degree weather it too cold!
... or it's a teacher duty day...
lol
What the farg do parents care if school cancels or not? Just make the kid stay home regardless

first driveway shovel of the day....got about 5 inches so far
Have I mentioned how much I love shoveling snow?
F'n love it.
its awesome if its super cold and light and not much more than six inches....start getting up toward double digits or have a wet snow and farg that shtein
i like shovelling snow cause unlike pulling weeds or raking leaves you can clearly see your progress so its super gratifying
I grew up in Rochester, NY. Shoveling heavy snow every day for 5 farging months makes you hate it.
Now I live in the capital region of NY and have family a little north of NYC, and others in the Downington/Exton area. Shoveling snow in these places is the shtein now.
I use my tractor and plow, farg shovels. Throw in a toro snow blower for some smaller sections. 'merica!
I spent $50 on a pair of winter boots. Farg shoveling.
We have roughly 6 inches on the ground now i'd say. And the bad stuff hasnt started yet. I'll probably go out around 7pm to knock it out in the first round. Should be tapering off shortly after that.

The local news here is hilarious.
We had some ice last Friday and it was like the end of the world. Houston is mainly bridges and overpasses so it turns into a skating rink.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the same...after being in the 60s and 70s the last couple days.
Local news is showing people how to pack survival bags in case they are stranded. "and folks even gloves and hats can make a huge difference"
Then an interview with the red cross, police chief and fire chief...
holy farg....
lol wow.
The roads in my neighborhood have been covered with snow and/or ice since last tuesday.
I'm not generally one to forgive Texans for anything but could anyone reasonably expect them to understand the concept of freezing precipitation, bridges freezing, etc? For one, they very rarely experience anything like it, so they have very little opportunity to learn. And for two, they are Texans. Learning is not a strong suit.
i dont care where you live....icy roads are not to be trifiled with....its places that freak out over an inch of snow that need to be obliterated
It's funny to watch the weather forecasters down here talk excitedly about "wind chill."
If it ever snows down here (SW Florida), it's a sign that climate change has gone past the point of no return. It's never officially happened in either Fort Myers or Naples since records have been kept.
I did have frost on my windshield twice last week, so there's that...
Update on Icemageddon in treacherous Houston Texas...
It started raining about 8am. That's it.
You can hear the news people's boners deflating.
However...90% of the businesses are closed. Schools are closed. The city looks like a ghost town.
lololol
My sisters school in Austin was closed Fri and yesterday because they got a light dusting of snow. Apparently you can't just shoot it and make it go away.

I turn the traction control off to better enjoy the icy roads
when im feeling frisky i luge to work
Maybe 5 years ago, it had been below freezing for awhile and finally started to snow. I'm driving in the left lane of a 45 mph road, usually heavy traffic, with cars coming from the opposite direction. There's a car next to me in the right lane, I hit an ice patch and start fishtailing, front of my car was maybe a foot away from smashing into his. From what I can remember (no idea if this is actually true, I might just have tricked my mind into believing it after the fact), I looked at the traffic from the opposite side and saw the oncoming cars were not very close, so I pumped the brakes and swung a hard left, slid sideways across all lanes of traffic and wound up doing a perfect 180 stopped on the shoulder of the opposite side of the road.
actually what happened is you hit oncoming traffic and you're dead. this is hell, welcome.
Lies. If this was hell there'd be more puns.

best thing I've seen on the innertubes in a while
a school district around here canceled basketball games....basketball....because it was relatively cold out.
Schools around here canceled classes on Monday and Tuesday because it's zero-ish (no offense Satoshi) degrees. I pay property taxes so other people's punk kids can get an education...send 'em to school unless the polar vortex mushroom stamps a blizzard on us
Is Satoshi dead?
What's that weather blog that always used to get referenced in here? I just saw a thing on facebook saying one of them is predicting a possibly huge storm next weekend
Weatherboy is the one thats going around. I think PG was addicted to it.
www.liveweatherblogs.com is another
and Reese liked epaweather on fb
yeah i like epaweather on facebook
okay then fanboys...are we going to get a blizzard or not?
basically from what i've seen there's three models all saying we're going to die.
One storm the 3rd, which could swing 30 miles and be ice/rain/snow, with as much as a foot of snow
The big one the 9th,10th,11th that will cripple the ditch digging business for a week or two. The euro model is saying that storm will stall off the coast of NJ, and we'll get a true nor easter. I'm all for a big ass snow storm to finish it off.
sweet
YES we're all going to die!

the funny thing is tthe one thats 48 hrs away has the best chance to do anything and no one is talking about it...people instead sheep it up and wanna scream about four feet of snow ten days away
Now it's four feet?!!
I can't wait.
how are you gonna make it 4 days without a trip to whole foods
EPAWA on this Wednesday/Thursday storm:
QuoteThe European model just came in with another "nuke" and we have enough confidence in that model's consistency as well as being deadlocked with the other foreign model guidance to expect a crippling snowfall somewhere in the vicinity of I-95 and points NW...It is becoming apparent that snowfall will need to be measured with a yardstick instead of a ruler for some places within in our coverage area. We still have to narrow down exact track over the next 48 hours or so, but someone is getting hit and hit hard. That means don't ask us how much for Scranton, Harrisburg, Allentown, Philadelphia... etc. Probability increases in east central PA, SE PA and interior New Jersey.
So we are going to die?
The problem with this storm is Heavy wet snow. Add in nor easter winds, and its a recipe for disaster from an electrical grid point of view.
I'm still seeing calls of "wintry mix" instaed of snow for this area...
that's the problem, temps are gonna be between 32 and 34 from what i saw. NWS just sent out an alert for a winter storm watch.

I love the snow, and I love the snowdays I get from work...but my girlfriend is a teacher and we're going to Firefly. The school year ends like a week before the concert, and if they have to make up the hours.... :boom
In Colonial I think they're just adding 10 minutes to the school day which makes up a few days before the summer break
Rome and I are going to die from 80 and sun.
So long as you both die, I don't care how it happens.

okay fanboys....what's gonna happen tomorrow night/thursday?

Buy a snowblower. Its gonna be heavy snow
Where I'm at, the weather people have zero clue how to forecast. All depends on the track of the storm. Rivers are icing up again on both sides so its plausible we get some bay effect snow.
I don't usually piss and moan about the weather. That said, farg this. I'm done.
This reminds me of the winter of (I think) '93. When I lived in my previous house, and didn't have a snow thrower. There was so much snow that I couldn't throw the stuff over the piles from the previous storms. Eventually I just gave up on the driveway and drove over the stuff. That was enough incentive for me to purchase a snow thrower...and I've had one ever since.
I wonder if you could even find one in the stores right now.
Or a generator for under $2,000.
Snowing and laying since 7:30 tonight in North East, MD. It's 25 degrees out and holding.
Roughly 10 inches on the ground, keeps switching between Freezing rain, Wet Snow, Sleet.
I was out at 6, cleared my sidewalk, my driveway, half the street in front of my driveway, three neighbors' sidewalks, and the sidewalk in front of the park I manage. It changed over to straight rain by the time I was finished at 7:30, and the snow was really getting heavier because of all the moisture. Now it appears to be back to snow, and coming down hard. We did get my wife out the door though, and she made it to the hospital without incident. Yay new tires on a front wheel drive.

I haven't tried to shovel yet. I just don't feel like effin with the freezing rain at this point. One thing that i'd like to remind anyone who cries about not being able to work from home. Todays like this when they shut down the offices, I still get to work. Come on internnet outage
I was lucky to get my work done before the rain. It was light and dry when I started. I wouldn't want to clear that much snow now that it's really getting dense.
The thing about snowblowers is that they feel like the stupidest purchase in the world...right up until you need one, at which point it feels like the smartest thing you ever spent money on. I mean, they can be expensive, and they take up a ton of room for the, usually, two or three times a year you need it. But when you need it, man, feels great to have it.
Pretty much the same thing with a a generator. I have a 10000 watt tri fuel generator (runs propane, natural gas or gasoline), and I had the house wired so that I can plug it directly into my main. Haven't needed to use it since I bought the thing, but I mostly bought it to shut my wife up about how we lost power for two weeks during Sandy. So, money well spent, I guess.
If she actually shut up, it was money well spent indeed.
Any money spent to stop a nagging woman is money well spent

Couldn't have said it better on both accounts. Best purchase I've made is the generator we got. Though i wish i got one like yours that took any of the fuel options. Truthfully I've been trying to find a diesel capable of running the whole house, might just end up with one of the big boys from governmentliquidation.com
I REALLY wanted to run a gas line for the generator, because, well, that would be awesome. But it's cost prohibitive, because the gas comes in on one side of the house, and the main is on the complete opposite side of the house. I had a couple of quotes, and it would four figures to run it, and the ROI just isn't there. Instead, I got a big propane tank to use in a pinch.
We actually have a 250 gallon above ground tank that with the house when we bought it. It's not hooked up, and honestly at this point i may just get it filled so i don't have to run out to lowes and whatnot to swap tanks.
Yeah, why not? That's exactly what I'd do. I have about 70 pounds on hand, along with some gasoline I could use in a pinch. The vast majority of people in this area have gas-only generators. During Sandy the gas stations were an absolute shtein show, so I wanted the flexibility. But I prefer running it on propane anyway, as it's easier to store and cleaner to run. That and when I need to refuel, the lines won't be ridiculous. Assuming I ever need it.

Went out last night to get a propane tank refill at Jimmy Haslams Flying J. There was 12 cars waiting to fill up the tanks be them 15lbers up to 100lbers. Just chaos, I went to lowes instead and swapped it. What brand generator did you end up going with?
I got a better deal than this, but it's this one:
https://www.google.com/shopping/product/14179099967929411432?q=powerland+10000+watt+tri+fuel+generator&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.61190604,d.cWc,pv.xjs.s.en_US.OD_8LLFKFf4.O&biw=1600&bih=799&tch=1&ech=1&psi=xvn8UtWrJ5DesAShkYHwAg.1392310728165.3&ei=zPn8UqvkCafMsATy_ICADw&ved=0CGQQpiswAA
Nice, i have 60 hours on our generator over the past 2 years. Always keep up with oil and stabilizers, but I really do like the option of having 3 fuel sources so you're not limited as you said to waiting in lines. We have the whole house hookup, its clutch having everything with the exception of the hvac system running.
So the lull is here, no precip, minimal winds. But the low is strengthening.

It's awesome out, just had brunch with a bunch of friends at Bonefish, mimosa's and bloody mary's outdoors.
I just turned my compost pile for the first time in two months. It wasn't worth the trouble before, too damn cold.
It was absolutely gorgeous out all day until roughly 10 minutes ago. Clouds rolled in, thunder and lightning and now it's pouring ass rain.
Sheesh.
It's been mid-80's, clear sunny days for two months now. The world's about to end.
Tornadoes have been spotted all over Volusia County, one pretty close to the Speedway.

Just had a pretty bad hailstorm here. I grabbed one off the deck that was about the size of a half dollar, but someone in my area posted a picture of one that was the size of a golfball. Don't think I've ever seen golfball sized hail in Delaware.
Yeah, I just passed through a hailstorm on 97 northbound, around Millersville. I haven't seen hail in a long time.
Same here...haven't had any in the city since I moved here and my truck is thankful for that.
got acorn sized hail here in North East, MD. Tornado apparently hit APG.
Baseball sized here last night. Need some new gutters and a new deck box and I've got a couple of dings on the top of my grill.
I got lucky though....my mom's minivan no longer has a windshield or rear window and her gazebo had 4 or 5 holes in the roof.

Oahu is sunny and clear this morning. We actually surfed last night and it was beautiful Big Island will get the brunt of it. Category 1 so just a ton of rain and some heavy gusts. We've had since Tuesday to prepare when we knew this was coming so everyone is ready. Second storm looks like it's heading just north of us. We'll still get heavy rain but shouldn't be too bad.

Wtf
It'll hit freezing here tonight.

That's GFS that just ran. Don't have a link to last Euro but it had 10-20 for philly which is on the higher end. Some think it may go more east and philly will get the tail which looks to be 5-7 in or so.
I'm gonna be disappointed i think.
Last version of euro held pretty firm with philly around a foot and Bucks getting 12-18 depending on location. NYC at 2-3 feet. Most other models had it more eastward but people seem to trust Euro most.
All the local placesa nd the weather channel are revised down to 4-8 for me. Did the euro change and bring totals down in the Philly area?
Yeah. Philly looks 8-10 range.

What are they going to do on Sunday night for Red Sox replays when NESN is out?
Although I wish I was home for a big snowstorm. A good 1-2 foot hit is always fun
I ain't gonna hate the fact that it'll be 75 here tomorrow
It's not supposed to it 80 here again until Sunday. Florida winter.
Looks like we're going to be on the lighter end of forecasts I think.
It'll be funny if this is a Bolaris Special and nothing happens
In the meantime I still get fired up with rage when I see the following;
News reports from the farging PennDot salt yards. Ok this is a state that is known for snow. Do we need to see the pile of salt and plows? We know the plows will be out. Thanks.
The empty grocery store shelves. If I owned a store I'd put every item out that doesn't sell for shtein right before a snowstorm and people are guaranteed to buy it along with the farging milk, eggs and bread.
Man on the street interviews about the snow. It's cold and snowy here on Broad and Chew...ok over to Dannnnnnnn Cuellar on Ogontz where it is also cold and snowy.
yeah been a real dud here so far. AccuWeather is still calling for 4-8 inches here, but almost everywhere else I've seen has downgraded us. Earlier the Big 3 were still calling for me to be right on the line between 3-6 and 6-10, but just now Fox had me down to 1-4.
yeah looks like even three inches is optimistic at this point. went west (saw that Happy Valley got around 8 inches/Pitt got 9) but the eastern bands never pushed back west towards WNJ or EPA so there's a huge gap all up eastern PA where basically no snow hit. That being said, it looks like a bust all along NJ and NY too in terms of the record predictions and models (even from this morning). Bleh. Really wanted tomorrow off and a huge storm since I haven't seen one in a while having been in the south the last few years.
some dude said we're still getting 10
It's still moving west but looks like it's hitting a wall all along NJ and basically stopping. Doesn't seem like the big bands will make it through NJ.

pretty impressive to go from the Inquirer front page today saying 12-22 in Philadelphia to maybe an inch in 24 hours.
got maybe a half inch outside my place. probably not going to work today.
Ha, same here. Holy shtein they missed this one. EPA Weather Authority is taking the blame and saying it was just like Superstorm Bolaris. I never even had to break out a shovel.
It hasn't disappointed here. The surrounding roads don't look like roads at all. The city opened up a parking garage to stash cars for free since there's nowhere to park on the street

It's storming like a motherfarger right now...hailing nice chunks of ice too. I didn't have time to run out and drive down the street to the bank or gas station to chill under the roof so my truck doesn't get slammed. So I'm listening to it being assaulted and cringing like crazy

i work in KOP - the turnpike is no better these days. it def used to be but not anymore.
whenever i go from work to delco i never have an issue on 476 at like 6pm....76 is always a funhole
the only good part about it is since its after 6 i cant even accidentally listen to innes
yeah 76 sucks no matter what time it is. but im talking the east/west turnpike during rush hour ... it truely sucks anymore. they made improvements to the 611 & 309 on ramps and all that did was put more traffic on the turnpike. it takes about 45mins just to go from bensalem to fort washington.
mybe some day septa will get more power to influence the pennsy lawmakers to set up the commuter rail line on the tracks that run along the TP. its a pipe dream because the penn TP commission is huge even after the big hits it took from the indictments brought down on it.
it would really help curb the air polution which would help the climate which would help the weather which is what this thread is about.
As zesty as Schuykill is - at least there are commuter rails and public trans to use to get into the city.
I'd kill for some sort of train service here in Houston. The Katy Freeway (and its feeder roads included) is 26 lanes wide at its widest point and it still crawls at 5-10mph. Rather than building a commuter rail into Houston from the western suburbs they built a tollway in the middle of the regular highway. Right now it'll cost you about $7 to use the toll portion and you will still sit still. They are bumping the price to $10 one way at rush hour. A joke.
nobody cares about houston
anyway shteins gonna get really along the i95 corridor real soon....right at rush hour. coincidentally im staying late today and currently farting around posting nonsense on this place. this is getting so meta.
nice storms last night. did a great job of flooding my shed foundation.
my electric bill is loving this cool weather.
thunderstorm in montana
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJeKTfOUsAAFOrx.jpg)
farg Montana.
Something personal against Montana? It's one of the few states I haven't visited, but I wouldn't mind checking it out. The fact that it's not densely populated sounds not so bad on a lot of days.
BigEd is the board Montana expert. He went there once I think.
And I'd love to build a place in the middle of nowhere away from traffic and idiots
If you want to get away from idiots I think you have to go to the moon.
Moontana?
You get away from the idiots, but you're stuck with the lunatics.
I been to Montana.
Not going back.
pretty sure if i went to montana they would check me for horns

This was from the storm yesterday in north east, md. Weird storm, not sure what it was, but i'm pretty sure i drove thru it in the final mile before i got home. Thought for sure trees were going to fly.
Montana is nice if you are white and Christian and you like empty brown landscapes, straight flat roads , and cowboy getups.
montana is a lot of things but flat aint one of them
It was flat around Cheyenne, bustling capital of nowhere.
The western part of the state is mountainous. The eastern part is basically Kansas.
stop talking about Montana's topography you farging iceholes
Would you rather they talk about Iowa's?
i come to the weather thread for weather. i'll get us back on tracks...

Dude, they get nine inches of rain every day anyway. They'll be fine.
It's October 15th and 90 degrees. SW Florida.
I have been bitching about the 90s here all week. It should be cooler by now for fargs sake
It's been gorgeous here all week. Upper 70s and low 80s during the day with mild humidity and fairly cool at night. Still need the AC to sleep because I like it cold enough for a blanky, but still...

Gusts to 250. Add in the potential for 12-20 foot waves and heavy rains. What doesn't blow away or get smashed by storm surge will be hit by mudslides. Crazy.
What's worse is see reactions from people at the resorts saying that they want to "ride it out." I guess they have no idea what sustained 200 mph winds are like.

Given the type of people who hang out at those resorts all the time, I'm not considering it such a bad thing that they want to ride it out.
The ride it out crowds fascinate me. Even when Ike hit here I wanted nothing do with it.
shtein got real when the authorities told the clowns down on Galveston island who wanted to ride it out to please write their names and social and a next of kin contact on their body in sharpie so they could identify their bodies. Many heard that and decided it was probably better to roll out
So if these dopes want to ride it out I hope they call their families and tell them goodbye.

They did the same during Sandy at the DE beaches. Standard for any evacuation. I've been thru a Cat 1 hurricane with a non direct hit on the water. That was enough for me, but some people just don't understand how sustained winds are different from a passing 30 minute storm.

Went through Andrew. And Charlie. And Frances. And Katrina (only a 1 when it hit here, then blew up in the Gulf on the way to New Orleans). And Wilma.
Wilma was the one that was scary, since it was the one that directly hit Naples. We went to my mother's house in Fort Myers, and I was convinced that I was going to have no house. We were fortunate though.
Don't farg with a hurricane, especially if you're along the beach.

So is this really gonna happen or what? Seems all the weather nerds are in agreement since last night that the DC area is gonna get crushed.
I'm guessing I won't be able to ride Amtrak to NYC in 20 inches of snow which will be a bummer.
Of course I had trip to WV scheduled this weekend. Sounds like a cancellation unless there is a drastic change in the forecast. And like a dipshtein I booked my hotel at the "non refundable" rate. :boom
im so lucky....got the last train out before it hits Friday to nyc for the flyers game on sat....snow drinking in the rotten apple is one of the greatest things you can ever do in life

DC went full retard last night. they were so consumed tomorrow's storm that they never treated the roads for the inch and a half we got last night. like 1500 accidents or something like that. commutes were 4-8 hours for some people to get home from work. a few people at my girl's office were coming in this morning as some people were still trying to get home.
i am psyched for this storm though. love going to bars in a blizzard. everyone is so happy and drunk.
A friend of mine - who lives in Fredericksburg - took a bunch of photos in her local Wegmans. So many shelves cleaned out. Long lines of people at the checkouts. Insanity.
I got my drink & tree so I'm ready.
bullseye is dc va....up to 30 inches
altho models looking more and more like central jerz could get super walloped too
I have family outside of AltaVista Va. they're farged.
40-50 mph winds in dc for sat to...will be complete whiteout conditions
also thunder snow is very possible
They were farged already for being your kin. A foot or two of snow barely registers by comparison.

Sounds like a plan. We have a really varied selection of stuff chillin' in the garage, but if all else fails, we have been working on a half of Namaste for a couple of weeks now, and there should be plenty for the weekend.
I have about 4 cases of Bourbon County variants I picked up this season. If that isn't enough I have 200+ bottles of bourbon/rye in the bar to fall back on.
I just saw the Namaste the store for the first time a couple of hours ago. What do yo think of it, Sus?

But I wanted RJS to know that it is essential to have a good number of whiskeys available, to pair with the weather. For example, an epic winter blizzard calls for a bold spicy high rye recipe and a cask proof bottle. Something with an edge yet full and satisfying. Try the 2014 Thomas H Handy 129.2 straight rye for this winter storm.
snow! blizzard!

Still coming down hard, has been all day...can't tell how much we're actually getting but it's a shtein ton.
We officially got 30.2 in Harrisburg (I live a few miles west, and I'm sure that we got more). The annual average snowfall for Harrisburg is 30.6. So basically we enjoyed all winter in one day.

smartly shoveled the bulk of my car out on saturday. didnt have too much to do today. now its parked under 95. side streets, as usual werent done. numbered streets barely done. east-west streets, which i live on, in decent shape. a ton of cars are beyond snowed in...i would not want to go to work on getting those out.
4th biggest in city history

Sure, they shouldn't do that but it don't confront me past the ethics of it, and if I start picking fights with Baltimore residents over ethics, I'm never gonna not fight.

I honestly have no clue how much we ended up with. I was happier than hell to have a snowblower, as the drifting was ridiculous. Plowing with the tractor was useless by the time i went out Saturday around noon. Had 4+ foot drifts across a 15 yard area in the driveway. And I'll take another big storm in a heartbeat.
I thought my buddy with a Ford 8N --cool old little tractor--would be fine, but it turns out that tractors aren't so great in snow. The tires are made for dirt, not snow. And certainly not snow on tarmac. It was useless to him for plowing.
Exactly right on snow setups, I have a JD2320 with a bucket loader/Ag Tires/3 pt Rear Plow. Smaller storms I've been fine depending on the consistency of the snow. It's all about weight and grip, so I would need Chains or loaded/studded tires. Knew this storm would be bad when I started getting calls from neighbors 2 days before asking to help them get the big stuff moved.

I think I mentioned this before but when we first moved from PA to Alabama and then Kansas we'd see that shtein all the time. Luckily we never had them get close to the house but some did get close enough where we'd have to hunker down in the closet under the stairs in our Kansas house.
In 1991 when we first moved there my mom took my brother and I out to Wal-Mart. Storm rolled in with a quickness. By the time we got home there was a funnel coming down across the street from the house. It stopped halfway down and never touched down.

What's hickish about living in tornado alley?
You moved from PA to Alabama to Kansas - Check
You had to "hunker down" in the closet under the stairs to avoid a tornado - Check
Your mom took you and your brother to Walmart - Check
You got home and there was a funnel coming down across the street - Check
not sure bout hickish but amazingly MA...only thing that could have made it better was if the funnel was a cake instead of a cloud
I mean it's literally in MA so yeah

Last Memorial Day we had floods but these seem to be worse. It started about 9pm last night and hasn't stopped. I've been up since 2 and had a tornado warning about 3.
Most of the rain stayed north of I-10 but has begun to sink south. I'm north of 10 and have about 16" of rain in my neighborhood.
My boss is one of those stubborn ones. He drives in from San Antonio on Monday so I texted him at 4 to not try. He was already on the way and got stuck on the interstate. He finally makes it into the office and never told us to not come. I tried but couldn't make it even with my truck. My neighborhood didn't even flood in the hurricane. It was up to my door. Stopped at the grocery store for beer and wings and came home.
http://abc13.com/news/video-reporter-steve-campion-rescues-driver-from-flood/1296639/
And then there's this farging guy
farg. That.
Yep! That's what I told my boss. It sucked that we even had to try to make it in. Love working for him but this is one of his blind spots...knowing when to shut it down.
I tried three ways in. First one was obviously blocked. Wasn't even gonna attempt it. And it worried me because that route never floods.
Second and third I had to turn around and had water up to my door.
I'll drive in snow and ice willingly before flooding.

Best is when his reverse lights go on about :40 like it's going to get him out.
And his wipers still going off right before it sinks.
And then once the guy tells him to swim, he buries his face in the water like he's swimming laps in an Olympic pool. No need to bury your face in filthy water to go like 5 feet dude.
Great video.
Best part is he's a college professor. Students recognized him on TV.
Book smart but dumb.
And the other one of the lady in the Benz is not too far from my place. Notorious for flooding because it's all underpasses. And she has a damn baby in the car.
can the gulf just swallow that god damn cesspool of a city already
It's working on it.
And now they're finding bodies in submerged cars.
I cannot understand how anyone can drive into an underpass area where they have the flood gauges on the wall showing how deep the water is. Some of those can hold 20-25 feet of water.
They just found two bodies in cars in an area where the water was 20ft.

My one history professor was one of the most brilliant men I ever knew. Spoke like a dozen languages and knew pretty much all European history since the dawn of time. Managed to mistake white out for his eye drops and missed about 2-3 weeks of classes, then had to use a large magnifying glass on top of his regular glasses (which were coke-bottle thick) for a month after that.
lol academic smarts trumps common sense
Dude went back and wanted to drive his car out of there.

Left the house to go buy a new living room set and it was sunny. In the time it too me to pick the one out and pay for it the skies opened up and flooded the streets. Interesting drive home. We are going about 20mph and yet there's always the dicknoses who want to drive normal despite not seeing shtein. Watched one spin his brand new mustang out into the concrete barriers. Good for him.

QuoteThe temperature in Washington, D.C. has a chance to surge above the century mark for the first time in almost four years late this week. It may mark the start of the summer's fiercest heat wave, which could challenge some records.
Weather models are now fairly uniform in forecasting high temperatures near or above 100 degrees this weekend. Temperatures could approach 100 on Friday and Monday too, models suggest.
Of particular interest, the European model predicts a high of 106 degrees on Sunday, which would tie D.C.'s highest temperature ever recorded (established August 6, 1918 and matched July 20, 1930).
skies opened up here. watching the people who didn't keep an eye on the weather run out to their cars to close their windows.

going to be a huge bg&e energy saver days this weekend...basically turn your air up and go to the movies....the money you save on the ac basically pays for the movies
I've been told that Energy Saver days aren't implemented on weekends.
if that's true then it's a change in policy because I know they have been in the past...seems counter intuitive to me...the whole point of them is to implement during the highest usage days
Crazy microburst in Phoenix yesterday (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/07/19/watch-this-incredible-microburst-come-crashing-down-over-phoenix/)
disgusting....even for a swamp which is literally what dc sits on
QuoteIncreasingly over the next several days, a deep plume of tropical moisture will stream towards the D.C. area. This will lead to the summer's most extreme and long-lasting period of humidity so far.
The humid air is beginning to trickle into the region today, but will become more noticeable on Wednesday. By Thursday, Friday, and the weekend, it will be directed at us full blast.
One indicator of atmospheric moisture, known as precipitable water (which is the integrated amount of water in the air from near the jet stream down to the surface), is forecast to be near record levels.
Simulation of precipitable water, a measure of atmospheric moisture, Tuesday through Monday. Reds and purples indicate the most extreme levels, over two inches.
Thursday through Monday, precipitable water levels are forecast to be at least two inches and even 2.5-2.75 inches which is in historic territory. The highest precipitable water level ever measured in Washington was 2.56 inches on Aug 13, 1955. If the precipitable water reaches 2.33 inches, it would rank among the top 10 highest levels on record.
Surface dew points, direct measures of the humidity, are forecast to climb over 70 degrees Wednesday and range from 75-80 degrees at times Friday through the weekend.

Yeah this morning it was a little bit humid bc the breeze was coming off the land. The wind switched up a bit and we have a nice seabreeze now.
Houston and Louisiana are like DC...swampy and brutal.
Sitting on the balcony now enjoying the breeze. OCMD is nice but I think I prefer cape may and Rehoboth
For some reason I decided to go to the office today. Got no more than two blocks away and my shirt was see through. Walked back home, sat in my lobby to cool off and call and Uber. Then went back to the crib and haven't had pants on since. It was like walking through a bowl of hot soup.

Extra swampy over there. That's what the weather peeps were saying after those crazy floods - that the climate change had a lot to do with it.
Our location in Denham Springs was hammered. Lost everything except the studs of the building. They're rebuilding it but we had a $3M loss over there.
The latest models Hurricane Matthew have it heading toward the Rome Zone on Friday as a Cat 2 or 3. Loads of uncertainty on this one though, the whole East Coast is threatened.
lol at The Rome Zone
BTW - one of my customers hopped a flight to Cuba this morning. What a genius.

Probably Havana
If Guantanamo then I've been selling to al queda!
This one is setting up to be really ugly. We're on standby at the office but we may have to evacuate mandatorily. Ugh... this is the nightmare scenario they've been fearing for years here. I've seen the forecasted storm surges for a cat 4 and we'd lose everything if this goes wrong.
it would "only" be a 3 by the time it got up by you also as of the last model runs only about 1% of them have it hitting Florida...of course it doesn't have to hit land to have a storm surge but as of four hrs ago you guys look to be fine
Good luck to you Romey. I'll take my earthquakes over those shtein storms any day.
Hitting Haiti 8am tomorrow. A lot of people are going to die. It's probably already begun to kill given the amount of rain on the east side of this storm.
As for the US, a landing anywhere on the coast or nowhere is still in play. Definitely farging up igy's vacation no matter where it goes though.
QuoteThe 12Z and 18Z GFS brought Matthew considerably closer to the Florida coast than earlier runs, with a projected landfall in northern South Carolina this weekend (see Figure 4 below) and a second landfall on Cape Cod less than 36 hours later. The 18Z GFS nudged Matthew's track so that it arrives very near the central Florida coast on Thursday night, then hugs the coast all the way to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on Sunday morning. The 12Z and 18Z Monday GFS ensembles (GEFS) featured a majority of runs making landfall somewhere between Florida and North Carolina, a major shift west from previous GFS ensembles. The 12Z Monday run of the HWRF model tracked about 1 degree (roughly 60 miles) west of its previous two runs, now showing a potential landfall in eastern North Carolina by late Friday.

Head up to PA and get away from that mess
Florida might be more away from that mess than Philly. Give it a few days and let's see what happens when it's back over open water. Outer Banks are farged even if it's just a storm surge, one breach anywhere closes NC-12.
rome you can crash with me
theres numerous hipster bars within walking distance of my crib just for you
Take care, Rome. We're probably OK on the west coast, but we've been getting a lot of rain today and probably will again tomorrow. With all the standing water, the damned Zika virus is probably coming to get us!

Usually when a storm turns north it's because of a frontal boundary that is interacting with it - that's why all storms eventually turn northeast. It was hoped that the turn would be faster and earlier that it has turned out to be, and that's why the cone is getting closer to the U.S. coast.

I guess it was the "cold" front that passed through here several days ago that hit it
Here's a precedent that should be somewhat alarming:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel
Interesting story on Hazel
Put the Zamboni away, eh. A hurricane is coming.
The sort of storm they're freaking out about isn't a direct east to west track. It's a southeast to northwest bomb that pushes the surges into the insets and bays here and devastates everything ten miles inland. The EOC is on alert right now and they're concerned. That's what I'm hearing. If it turns just a few degrees west, we're getting smoked.
My house is 200 yards from the beach but I don't require flood insurance here because I'm in a 500 yr FEMA zone (our elevation is very high on the island) so flooding won't be an issue. The wind field for a cat 3 would tear this house to pieces, though.
Either way, we're outta here come Thursday. I have to be back within 24 hours but as long as my family is safe, that's fine.
Damn that sounds bad. Good luck bud
Why would you have to be back within 24hrs?
To prevent me from looting it.
lol
Are you in the path of the storm at all?
We'll probably just get high winds here.
That's good news. You and Geo will be ok now we just hope Romey avoids the smack down
The latest forecast is really bad now. Ugh - we're going to get smashed by this thing.
Okay, yeah, that projection's covering half the weiner. We're gonna die.
Rome, make sure you don't forget your smart phone/tablet/laptop/desktop so you can stay in touch with us.
Priorities.
Where will you evacuate to? The west coast of Florida?
I have a reservation in Tampa at a Residence Inn right now. I can cancel it depending on how the track changes.
You mentioned insurance earlier is everything covered for your home?
Everything but flood insurance. If we lose it to a flood we're out of here for good anyway.
Damn good luck man hopefully your elevation will help keep that surge away.

Doesn't matter if the center/eye doesn't hit land - which is what the weather people talk about when they talk about hurricanes making landfall. Matthew will approach close enough to make a major impact
In the case of Matthew, hurricane-force (75+ mph) winds extend about 75+ miles from the center, and tropical storm-force (39-74 mph) about 150 miles. The storm surge will be significant all along Florida's east coast.
Naples and Fort Myers will possibly see tropical storm conditions Thursday according to the local weather this morning. For us the big thing will be the rain, as we're already under a flood warning from several days of heavy rains.
Rome's going to see a lot more than that - probably hurricane conditions Thursday and/or Friday. This storm is still moving pretty slowly, though it will pick up speed as it goes up the coast.

Really? Are you this damned obstinate? Look at any hurricane map, like below:
(https://icons.wunderground.com/data/images/at201614_wind.gif)
If you're in the red, you're getting hurricane force winds, even if the eye doesn't go directly over you.
If you're in the yellow, you're getting tropical force winds.
Yes, the winds are highest right around the eye, but can still be devastating a fair distance from the eye. The local weather guy is forecasting wind gusts up to 40 mph for us - which would be tropical storm force winds. On the west coast of Florida.
See for yourself. (http://www.winknews.com/weather/)
Obviously, if the eye stays 100+ miles offshore, it'll be a much better day for Rome (and I'll get very little). But the eye will not actually have to cross Florida to wreak havoc on the coastal regions. If it's 25-50 miles offshore, there will be hurricane force winds and possibly major flooding in those areas. From there, the further away, the better.
The wind field in this motherfarger is enormous. They're shteinting their pants at EOC right now. We're out of here regardless on Thursday.

That's nice. And WU is projecting the same. I'm hopeful that it turns east but it's not looking good. As a result we're out.
newest ECMWF which nailed the last 24 hours of the storm now how matthew way more inland....even a few tracks has it over the west coast of the state
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ct7KUUpWcAAHK_0.jpg:large)
The eye is back out over open water, at least until it gets to Cuba later today. Interaction with the Tiburon Peninsula hasn't done much to disrupt the storm so far.
the kingston jamaica update showed it had zero wind shear...nothing is weakening it in the next 24-36 hrs and its very possible it could reach cat 5 status around the bahamas because of favorable conditions there
Out of all of this, I continue to be impressed at the depth of weather knowledge you all possess.

newest euro model from less than an hour ago has the storm really slowing down meaning a trough that is out west right now is going to miss pushing it out to sea...NOT GOOD
however our model has the heart of it heading out to sea off cape hatteras
what are the chances this hits philly and how strong will it be
decent shot at a good soaking not much more
If you look at the map above, it says 5-10% chance of tropical storm force winds in Philly. Same for Balt-Wash, odds a little higher for NYC and Boston. And west of the eye has been much less intense than east of it, in terms of rain.
Through a weird coincidence, it doesn't seem like it will do much to impact Week 5 of the NFL unless it fargs up the Dolphins stadium earlier in the week. Ravens game is the only game in the whole Northeast. That can't be too frequent.

euro (most accurate) - cape canaveral
usa - daytona
hwrf - no landfall
this is a combination of the two models above that dont have it making landfall in florida
(http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/quicklook/data/maps/M_ADV29.png)
Landfall doesn't mean shtein. A cat 3 or 4 will devastate the area if it's within 50 miles of the coast.
the worst part of this hurricane or any hurricane moving north is to its east....meaning if it stays off shore the strongest of its winds will not hit land
just because a storm doesnt need to hit land to cause damage doesnt mean it doesnt matter if it stays off land...of course it matters and it matters a lot
Ok, now they're freaking out. Cat 4 winds likely on the coast.

We're out of here at 4:00 AM. They're closing the bridges at sunset tomorrow and are not permitting anyone to leave or re-enter until this farger passes. We've done all we can do and hopefully we'll have a home to return to when we come back.
Keep a good thought for us here.
Christ. Safety first, but hopefully your home is spared from any serious damage.
You going to hang with Havas in NC? Because you should.

That's cool.
Rome - be safe and good luck.
I don't get the correlation. You have the Lion King on the left, and a skull on the right. What's the big deal?
They've both farged your mom.
Oh right. Well, it's about to farg a lot of moms pretty soon. The era of 'Wind babies' will begin.
We're in Tampa. Got the farg out st 4:00 AM instead of playing traffic jam tag with 100,000 iceholes.
Latest projections bringing total disaster for the coast from Cape Canaveral to Jax. Ugh...
Good luck Romey.
Look at the brightside--you might finally get that excuse to move back to Philly. And also the Jaguars might get wiped out which helps everyone.
UK football fans not least.
CNN guy in Daytona Beach said they expect surge there upwards of 7 feet.
Hope your place isn't too close to the ocean, Romey.
Wonder how long the evacuation traffic is now.
When Ike hit us in 2008 it took me about 8 hours to make it to San Antonio. Normally that is a 2.5hr trip.
Back in 2005 when one was bearing down here it took people upwards of 19 hours to make it to Austin...2.5 hours away.

200 yards. It's now expected to be 9-11 feet. Fellas, I'm about to lose everything I own other than what we brought with us. No flood insurance either. We're in a 500 year zone, so it's not required. So we're financially destroyed too.
Might as well have a beer.
How's your fire insurance, though?
I have windstorm coverage. Hopefully we get blown away.
romey i dont mean to sound like a fleshpop but if mar-a-lago is destroyed and so are 10000 other homes id be happy
It's all just stuff, Rome. You know that as well as anyone with what your family has been through the last year and a half. Hang in there, man. And drink more beers.
By default, Rome will have to host the first official :CF reunion at the next place he settles in at.
We'll break in your new place Romey, I'm sure that will make you feel a lot better. I'm so sure of it.
Can all of us fit in a FEMA trailer?
We will once they liquefy us to feed to animals.
My wife did her last treatment this morning. She is cancer free. I don't give a flat farg about that house. I got my girls and we're 150 miles away from danger. It's all good.
Good luck. If I die in this avenge my death.
What's the deal with people who decide to stay? I mean, if someone stays, then needs rescue...will attempts to rescue them be made, or are they on their own?
I hope to hell it's the latter.
Only the eastern half of Jacksonville has been told to evacuate so far. The rest of us are just buying gas for generators and getting our Mad Max costumes ready for when we need more.
So if an area is under mandatory evacuation, but someone disobeys...what happens to them when their house starts to float away with them in it?
Does the Coast Guard or some other rescue operation have to try to help them, or can we choose to risk no more lives and just leave them to their fate?
That's the real meaning of a mandatory evacuation. They won't risk anything to respond to your emergency call in that area. If you ignore the evac, they'll recover your corpse after the storm, but you're on your own for a rescue.

eye staying off land thus far which is saving a lot of areas from a total mess....but certified meterologist romey says it doesnt matter
Can't imagine why the guy with something to lose might be pessimistic.
Winds have been kicking up here. No damage, no lost utilities yet. Not even any interruption for the dish yet, but it isn't really hitting here until this afternoon.
you can see the front here that is going to push the hurricane out to sea...also look at the pacific nw stirring up some shtein

Looks like we may have avoided total disaster. Not clear yet. I'll let you guys know more when I get news from home.

storm surge is the only possible disaster here and that most likely will be jacksonville and north into the low country of south cackalacka
the max winds that should be hitting any shore line anywhere alongs mattys path will probably "only" be around 70mph...and those should just be gusts....had this thing hit land there very likely could have been 100+ sustained winds
11 foot storm surge would inundate the coast at least 5-7 miles inland. Again, we may have avoided wind damage but the flood threat is still very real. I'm 150 miles west of that so it will take a while for us to find out if we lost anything. We're at a high point on the island so we have our fingers crossed.
high tide is at 1pm today so well see after that but all indications are that the flooding wont be horribly bad in central florida....the potential for disasterous widespread storm surge is jacksonville and north
The hurricane force winds are about 25 miles west of my house right now. Power is out, trees are down and damage, so far, has been moderate.
Who is still at the house reporting this stuff?

daytona is currently on the left front side of matthew and getting 20-30 mph winds
Winds haven't gotten bad here yet. The rednecks are out trying to get some mud on their bigass tires.
Flying Shingle Count: 0
update: It got windy real quick.
death toll in haiti up to 850 and they havent even been able to get to a lot of areas
Romey, happy to hear all ok - so far.
luckily its more or less over for daytona now....jacksonville next up where we get into potential horrific on shore surge and especially into south carolina after that

The real winds arrived. Power flickered a couple of times, but so far so good.
Hurricane party!
The destruction in Daytona is massive. The beachside where I live is still closed and won't reopen till at least tomorrow at 7:00 AM. I have no idea if my house was affected. As of 12:00 noon it was still there. A friend had a tree tear thru her house. Simply incredible.
daytona is actually fine
haiti is true calamity
If Haiti hadn't been touched by the storm, and Matthew made a Cat 5 landfall on Daytona, Daytona would still be less of a calamity.
I think you're forgetting about a little slice of hell called Bike Week.
Daytona isn't fine. And I live in Ormond Beach. The entire water system was damaged and depleted so no water. No power either. Hundreds of homes and businesses suffered significant damage. I'm not minimizing the tragedy in Haiti but the situation where I live is pretty bad. We're still in Tampa and I might just stay another night.
Yeah stay another night.
Any reports about your house?
Rome's house don't take no shtein, heard it grabbed hurricane matthew right by the Hoyda.
Well that explains the man in the boat.

I had an oak tree take out the SW portion of my house. Roof is trashed. AC unit is destroyed.
Looking st $30/40K in repairs if I can find a contractor who can do them.
We're fine, though.
We crashed at our friends house last night because although we have a generator there's no use wasting fuel. They had a screen blow out. That's it. Lol.
there are trees in Florida?
They're cutting them down to build more roads and shopping centers as fast as they can, but there are still some left.
Sorry about your house, Rome.

Also,

I know Fl is a bit backwards but they're building roads with trees? No wonder that shtein is washing away.
My house got blasted. My friends here know I'm not full of shtein and I'm not posting this for sympathy or high fives. shtein happens. I got drilled. No big deal. We are safe and secure and it's all good otherwise.
And my name is Jef in case anyone gives a shtein or doesn't know. Not hard to find.

The National Weather Service here in Portland has issued 11 tornado warnings in the last 20 years... at least before today. There have been 10 so far today, and it's only 1pm here.

Pac NW Storm was a total fizzle, other than knocking out power at my work -- which means I'm likely to be sent in tomorrow to restore the servers (at least when I "notice" the messages after the Eagles game). There were maybe two gusts that hit 45 mph in my location.
So totally lacking in anything fun or interesting, but still a pain in my ass. farging northwest weather.
Out on the coast they got some tornados yesterday and had the hurricane flags flying, so at least they had some excitement before today's fizzle.
QB, this whole time I thought you lived in Florida. Oregon it is?
Oregon for the past year. Before that, most of my time on CF I lived in Pittsburgh. I hate Florida.
I travel a lot, so I can sorta pop up anywhere in the world. For the Week 7 game I'm tentatively planning to be in some really desolate part of Wyoming. Still better than Florida, though.

It stayed right aroudn 32 here but I guess the upper atmosphere was warmer because we got about 4-5 inches of snow and then a whole lotta sleet and freezing rain.
But actually be worse than getting 8-12 inches of snow if it turns into another ice storm. Supposed to go down into the low 20s so its all gonna freeze.

i park under 95 during storms so farg that cleaning shtein....took 2 minutes to shovel my sidewalk. row home what.
my visual estimation was 3.5 inches of snow caked with a layer of icey sleet crap. its pretty gross on the ground. lot of slush and puddles. id rather have 2 feet of fresh powder.
This was my place around noon today and it hasn't stopped snowing since. Been out to clear the path 3 more times. It's about waist deep now.

79 is an all-time high?! Alaska can go farg itself
well its the northernmost town in america...i personally was a little surprised at how high it was...i didnt think they ever even got into the 70's that far up....they do have 24 hrs daylight this time of the year which obviously helps the temp a lot
Where are you getting this fake news... the high in Barrow yesterday was 60, the all-time high was in 1993, and the previous record before '93 was 78 in 1927.
uh oh
It wouldn't be so bad if the white, reflective snow and ice still covered the tundra, but since it's melted away exposing the ground, everything gets hotter and holds heat longer.
Science.
Or, if you're a Trump guy who thinks it's all bullshtein, it's a great opportunity to apply massive amounts of roundup and call in the concrete crew.

I've been reading how crazy people expect traffic to be. One article up in the PNW papers mentioned this will be what they expect the traffic to be like whenever that big earthquake they're expecting hits.
Hotel rooms are going for upwards of $1100 per night (even the shtein holes) and some places have canceled old reservations so they can gouge people.
We are only going to see about 70% here
Harvey seems like he wants to set up shop around/over Houston soon.
I'm numb to the weather forecasts usually because they're nothing but hype machines but even looking at the NWS, which usually is straight up, we could see up to 30" of rain.
Gotta go stock up on shtein tonight
The grocery store was insane. People lose their shtein when storms are coming
It'll be interesting to see how the GOP/Trumpers here react if they need disaster relief and so many of those positions of the govt aren't filled

If something happens to you does your next of kin know you want to be buried in your Trotter jersey?
It ain't the wind that's gonna be the problem, I'm guessing it's the 2-3 feet of water that's going to fall from the sky that's going to be the major killer.

Tropical disturbance giving us buckets of rain. Localized flooding, especially in the streets. Of course they don't cancel the farging training after school.
This summer has been the most disgusting I can remember since the firestorms of 1998.
I'm so over Florida. Can't wait to get the farg out of here.
come up and live near me romey boy
do you like vietnamese people?
Nope. We're discussing moving out west. At least that's the tentative plan depending on my kid's college choice.
Biblical level flooding going on. This is exceeding the two huge floods we had the last two years and also will blow past Ike in 2008.
This morning it was calm. People were shtein talking about how it was a dud but they didn't pay attention to the fact the weather people said that we were going to be hammered with floods beginning today.
This afternoon the rain started and was intermittent. Then we had the tornado outbreak. And about 7pm the monsoon started and hasn't stopped.
There's a field behind my complex that doubles as a retention pond. It's probably 20 feet deep and several hundred yards long and wide. It's about to spill over into the parking lot.
Incredibly people have been out driving with kids and they're having to do water rescues. This one stupid bitch had her kids in the car coming back from a fight party.
This is supposed to continue in earnest through tomorrow afternoon and then fire back up. If the euro model is right Harvey will head into the gulf and then make landfall again here.
My roof is leaking. Because my DTV is off and it was quiet I heard the drip. Looked and saw that the plaster is soaked. Hoping it doesn't bust through totally.

We've had a shtein ton of rain ourselves, and hadn't dried out from the deluge a few weeks ago. We've got street flooding and water creeping up people's yards.

New Orleans should have been rebuilt halfway to Baton Rouge. It's basically sitting on an eroding, sinking archipelago in the Gulf. When global warming gets really going, it will require trillion dollar Netherlands level dredging and environmental destruction to keep it from being Atlantis.

So the next wave should begin tomorrow night. It's been raining all day and the winds are kicking up to 30-40.
I was going to go to SA but I'm pinned in. All highways are pretty much under water.
I drove over to the office this morning to check on it and thankfully a Walgreens was open so I could restock the beer supply.
My sis is "feeling it" up in Austin....basically just strong winds and rain and some flash flooding. Worst that she's had to deal with is her outdoor canopy gazebo is trashed and the flowerbeds in front of her house are jacked up. Some pretty apocalyptic shtein.
School ended up cancelled today because of the flooding down here. Too many streets under water for safe transportation.
No rain today, so the waters are beginning to subside. We'll have school tomorrow, but a few students won't be able to get out of their homes to get there.
Hasn't been bad at my house at all, but low-lying areas near rivers or canals have water approaching their homes.

this is a really interesting piece on how harvey is really a man made disaster
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/08/29/a-storm-made-in-washington-215549
QuoteHurricane Harvey is not the first costly flood to hit Houston since that 1998 report. In 2001, Tropical Storm Allison dumped more than two feet of rain on the city, causing about $5 billion in damages. Two relatively modest storms that hit Houston in 2015 and 2016--so small they didn't get names--did so much property damage they made the list of the 15 highest-priced floods in U.S. history. But Houston's low-lying flatlands keep booming, as sprawling subdivisions and parking lots pave over the wetlands and pastures that used to soak up the area's excess rainfall, which is how Houston managed to host three "500-year floods" in the last three years.
I'm really farging tired of reading about how people are thinking about or praying for the Harvey victims.

Not something worth paying a lot lot of attention to before Tuesday or so, but Hurricane Irma looks like it could be a Category 4 or 5 threat to land.
Here's a projection of it hanging off the coast with a Cat 5 pressure level on Sept 11.
(https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/ecmwf/2017090100/ecmwf_z500_mslp_us_11.png)
Yep. They're shteinting bricks at the EOC here. We've already been put on alert as of this morning. My wife and I are both emergency responders in our positions now but if this thing hits like that, there will be nothing left to come back to.
Irma is a strong bitch
Hopefully it twists away from the east coast and goes back to sea
Or just shreds its way down Florida and kills half of us. I'm good with either.
You guys can have it. I'm hurricaned out

Someone made up a fake forecast showing that and spread it on social media.
In reality, it wouldn't be off-course to hit Texas. At this point it's so far away that you can't rule it out. It's taken some turns today that put it on a more southerly path (more likely to hit land) but it's so far out there that a prediction is meaningless.

Thank you Dio!!
Actually if that storm turns you guys up in the NE may be looking to split
Mostly good news on Irma today, as the environment the hurricane will be passing through now looks less favorable to strengthening into a strong Cat 4 or 5. It's also a physically small storm, so the area that would be exposed to high winds isn't huge.
But if you want to freak out super prematurely, here's a series of model runs showing it mostly hitting the Outer Banks as a Cat 3 in about 200 hours. And there's that one track showing it hitting Rome with roughly Cat 5 level pressure during the Eagles-Chiefs game.

I need daily updates here QB
That map is actually updating every 6 hours I think. Which is why what I said no longer matches the graphic.
Unless you're going to the Bahamas this week no one should be too scared yet.
It shifted west overnight
It's gonna hit the gulf isn't it?
We are getting slammed next weekend. No two ways about it now.
I might have oceanfront property after this... or just ocean property. We're still not dried from the last soaking.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/145912.shtml?gm_track#contents
Looks like it's flattened out its course and could nick Florida on its way into the gulf
It has a lot of interaction with Caribbean land coming up, and there's another hurricane brewing behind it and some weird meteorological stuff in front of it, both of which could affect direction. It's a complex situation that is likely to keep changing.
All that can be legitimately be said about the US at this point is that it's likely to affect some part of Florida. Not even necessarily hit. And it could be the Keys, could be the panhandle, could be Jacksonville. We'll know a lot better in 24 hours.
In the meantime it looks terrible for the Virgin Islands and the other Leewards.
It seems if it stays on course now it hits extreme southern Texas around the border
But you're right it has obstacles coming up that will likely affect that path
If Houston catches another hurricane the city will be done for a long while.
They never know where it's going. There's too many variables. The best thing to do is to formulate a plan and then adapt as it gets closer. If they tell you to leave, get the farg out.
True
I'll leave for this one. Whether I fly home or drive to San Antonio or Dallas I'm not sure
It should take a hard turn north long before it reaches Texas. Real unlikely to follow Harvey.

Pretty much. We're using part of our Labor Day to check and test our supplies and figure out what we need to restock.
We have our bug-out kit. I'm not farging around plus my wife and I are both first responders now so we can't go very far anyway. Off the barrier island in case of a direct hit is our plan but this doesn't appear to be likely in this one.
I have $1,000 in cash plus two blank credit cards in case I need to rent a place indefinitely. Our safe is portable and all of our valuables fit in it perfectly.
We're not too close to the coast (probably about 15 miles as the crow flies), so we're mostly OK as far as storm surge goes. If it's getting to us, say good-bye to Naples anyway.
We do have a shteinload of canals and land that by nature should be swampland. I have a canal within two miles on every side, and they're already high from the last rains. A major rain event could have the Everglades reclaiming it's rightful territory pretty quickly.
If we get the word, we're out of here. Probably head to Georgia

Cat 5 now. 175 mph max sustained winds. Oy vey.
Still very possible that this motherfarger turns out to sea after touring the Bahamas. Also still very possible that it scores a direct hit on Miami, Tampa, or Charleston as a Cat 4 beast. Nowhere between New Orleans and the Outer Banks can breathe easy yet. Worst place in the US to be at this point is probably the Keys -- time to GTFO before the Overseas Highway becomes a parking lot.
The media will be hyping US landfall for the next several days, but the Caribbean is really getting the shtein end of this one. It's going to kill people there for sure, and for the most part, Americans won't care.
Worst news is how much larger the hurricane has gotten. The area exposed to hurricane force winds is going to be much larger than it looked a few days ago.
(http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/xgtwo/two_atl_2d0.png)
Phreak, instead of Irma, worry about that shtein developing in your backyard there. Also, good chance we see Jose coming up behind Irma today or tomorrow.
Our damage assessment plan has already been activated. It's still at least five days out at the earliest. Been here nine years and I've never seen the EOC activated this early.
In my area, we could use a hurricane. Three months without rain. There are fires throughout the area and the sky has been choked with smoke for days.
The scenic Columbia River Gorge is burning down for the first time since 1902, wiping out the main tourist and hiking spots in the area. Now ash is falling. My streetlights stayed on throughout the day yesterday because the sun never really pierced the smoke. 100 degrees today, and bad wind conditions could mean the fires could spread massively. Apparently the main fire just jumped the river into Washington.

I stay away from the Weather Ch and the local freakshows. There is a blog run by a guy here (space city weather) who is my go to. No hype.
I'm in Portland. This fire is immediately to the east, along the Columbia River. The area is a deep gorge with waterfalls and national park level beauty and a lot of historic areas. All going up in smoke now though. My car was covered with ash this morning, like a volcano had gone off. It's a crazy place to be right now. All because some jerkoff teenager threw a firecracker off a cliff.
almost every latest track out there has it over florida

Irma is so strong it is now registering on seismographs in the carribean
That's farging crazy

It was nice while it lasted. Or so I've heard and read. I don't go to Florida.
Monroe County (Key West) will be under mandatory evacuation starting tomorrow morning. Schools closed until further notice.
Collier County (Naples) residents have been told to GTFO. Marco Island is under voluntary evacuation, but are being told that no shelters will be available. Collier and Lee (Fort Myers) schools are open tomorrow, but closed at least Thursday and Friday.
Have school tomorrow, but are doing what we can to protect the house and will head north tomorrow night or Thursday morning. We haven't recovered from the flooding last week, and I am afraid that we'll be looking much like Houston if this thing pours any significant rainfall on us, on top of any damage caused by the winds. My mother lives in northern Georgia, and we'll probably head there with the kids and pets.
good luck. take what you need and move back to the northeast. im here! j visits sometimes!

Still no definitive word. I'm on call at the moment, but it's still so far out that no one really knows what's up, not even the experts at emergency management. The latest consensus track has it skirting the east coast before barreling into South Carolina, but even if it doesn't hit us directly, we're still gonna get pounded. They may start issuing mandatory evacuations tomorrow, but there's just too much uncertainty for them to do so. If we get the word my girls are out of here and I'll head inland.
7am model tracks...one positive of this is that the tracks have moved east and show a whole bunch missing florida or at least not giving it a direct hit....where as just 24 hrs ago 95% were hitting it straight on....also its expected to "only" be a four when it hits and could be less as its hit its meteorological ceiling for how strong it can get and its a four right now

Damn - its gonna make a hard right. I don't think I have ever seen a storm turn that dramatically before.
Hopefully it skips off the outer banks and then heads back to sea
theres a Midwestern trough blocking it....same thing that happens to noreasters in the winter when they say we are getting two feet and it rains
I was reading about how the perfect set up was in place for Harvey to pound us with all the rain. Two high pressure systems were on either side of it not moving and spinning at the same speed or whatever and that locked it into place.
this beast is still making its way through the islands...and jose just became a hurricane
I feel like a fleshpop for laughing at this.

I was at the EOC for a briefing at 3:00. It's 50/50 right now. The NWS hurricane dude said it was a perplexing storm for a lot of reasons but mostly because they've rarely seen one stay this intense for this long. Georgia and SC might be in the direct crosshairs now but they're really concerned about tornadoes along the east coast.
I'll know tomorrow night if I'm going to be activated for sure. If that happens I'm heading at least 100 miles inland.
Also - hoarding and panic buying have gripped these retards down here. I saw a guy with no fewer than 20 gas cans filling up. That is out and out bullshtein. Half the stations are completely out of gas because of that.
My neighbors haven't even moved their patio furniture yet. I defer to their expertise, so I'm not panicking yet.
Every store is out of bottled water, though.

That's an incredible pic
Ok, so this is really not looking good now. Storm surge is looking to be beyond catastrophic, so evacuation of the barrier islands is a certainty. They're still not sure of the track but it's coming into focus. There's nothing to stop this bitch, so I will probably end up with a house that is 15 feet underwater. And since I'm in a non-flood zone, I have no flood insurance, so everything I own will be destroyed and I have no recourse except FEMA. That's the worst case scenario everyone here who knows about this shtein has been warning us about for decades. And here we are.
Good luck dude. Keep your family safe.
Stay safe Rome. If you need a place to crash in Richmond, I've got you covered. Plus beer.
Or, if you prefer a slightly, but only slightly, shteintier city...I'm here in Baltimore with open arms. Especially for your wife.
lol.
Be safe you fargers. Go rent a Uhaul and salvage what you can.
So much hinges on when the storm makes that hard turn, and I'm doubtful they are going to have a good idea about that until shortly before it happens. So not only is this storm a real monster, but everyone on the Florida peninsula has to prepare as if it's coming right for them.
should be pretty clear tomorrow afternoon....of course 50 miles can make all the difference in something like this and they will never know where its going to that degree even while its happening
I got a hotel on the west side of Orlando for Sunday and Monday. At worst my house is gone when I get back. At best I get to wait till the all clear sounds then head back to find whatever the fates have in store for us. Either way my family will be safe and that's all I really give a shtein about anyway.
Thanks for the offers and I'll keep everyone apprised.
just make sure you don't miss the game, romey.
Out of the storm surge obviously, but Orlando has a 15% chance of experiencing sustained hurricane force winds according to the NHC. (Compare: Miami 47%, Naples 19%, Daytona beach 18%)
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIAPWSAT1+shtml/071451.shtml?
Govt offices are closed here starting tomorrow thru Monday at least. As far as it coming up the middle of the state, that's fine. The place we're staying is a resort built recently so I'm not worried about wind or anything from that perspective.
I've seen what storm surge does up close. You hide from the wind and run from the surge. I'm not taking any chances that way.
Good luck bro
Hunker down and have a few strong drinks
should be a bell weather type storm if govt offices are closed for a whole two days

Andrew vs Irma
^^^jesus.
Good luck Romey. And QB just in case. Hard to say anyone is out of the woods with how big this storm is.
The latest (which seems to change during every update): The storm has definitely centered in on South Florida. It's weakened a bit and is now going to probably strike southernmost Florida as a Cat 4 before marching directly up the middle of the state. If the track continues, we may actually be better off staying right where we are, although I was told last night that the barrier islands are almost certainly going to be placed under mandatory evacuation orders.
Amazing how we roll the dice with our "plan" only to be sitting here less than 48 hours away from this motherfarger slamming into us without any clue as to what to do. If we didn't have to report to work because of our jobs, I'd be in South Jersey already.
Kiss my meatcicle, Irma.
am I wrong to hope that mar-a-lago is erased ?
Anything that removes even a part of Florida off the map is a good thing and should be encouraged and wished for.
so, everything but, romey ?
Look, if he's gotta go for the greater good then he's gotta go.
Seems like a fair trade.

We didn't go with our original plan of going north. By the time we would have been able to do it, traffic and gas shortages made that possibility just as danger-filled. We've boarded up our windows but will head to a friends' home that has a generator and is a bit further away from the current projected path and built like a brick shteinhouse (they even have a kevlar-lined saferoom in case of tornados). Right now the path is just to the west of Lake Okeechobee, and we're about 80 miles from that. And the current trend keeps moving it closer.
We've done all we can to protect the house. All we can do now is get the family as safe as possible and wait it out.
stay safe geo.
feel like geo and romey should be together
stay safe guys
Good luck guys. Stay safe.
It's headed right for Geo's doorstep.
Next few hours should be key. It's wrapping up an eyewall replacement cycle and this might be the last chance for the storm to strengthen before land interaction takes over. If it shoots past SF into the Gulf that would give it a warm place to get stronger too but currently the tracks still have it going right up through the peninsula.
Best case scenario is it hits the Keys as a Cat 3 and is Cat 2 before it comes ashore on the mainland, preferably deep in the Glades. Even in that scenario it has a huge wind field and the surge is a mess all over the whole southern half of the state, with records broken all over the place. Obviously much worse scenarios are still very much in play, but right now I would bet against it clearcutting anywhere on the mainland that isn't a trailer park the same way it did to Barbuda. More of a surge disaster.
I honestly always get Geo and QB mixed up. Whoever is down on Florida, stay safe.
What are the environmental implications of a storm like this for a place like the Everglades? Never really read much about what storms like Andrew did to the habitat there and what not.
I thought you were just joking about the size of the storm when you said it could affect me. Opposite corner of the country here.
This storm is better for the Everglades than what people have been doing to it for the last 100 years. If this thing pushed Okeechobee over the wall and reswamped the sugar plantations, I wouldn't shed a tear.
It's a threat to human enjoyment of those places (just like the fires going in Glacier National Park or here in the Columbia River Gorge), but major hurricanes, fires, etc. are normal parts of these habitats, even if human activity is making them a bit more severe and frequent.
Lol yeah sorry about that QB...
The fires near Glacier bum me out hard. We're hoping to get there next year, I hope things get under control soon.
I'm going there next Thursday on a long-planned vacation. I hope something's open.
Stay safe floridians.
this is actually the best possible path...better for it to be directly over land and head up into landlocked part of the country....could have been way worse if it road the east coast

im in upstate ny for the next two weeks so doesnt effect me but in general you want this beast over land not feeding off water and farging with the entire east coast
If it rode the east coast that would have meant the strongest part of the storm never hits land....but yeah the storm surge would have been disastrous.

Unbelievable.
Simply incredible.
My phone says we're expecting 45 mph winds here, gusts of 75. I should probably bring in the last of the potted plants today, I guess.
Jose actually has higher winds than Irma right now. The Cuban coastline has knocked the bitch down a peg.
Developments have been relatively good, but there's no precedent for this track -- we can't really know what to expect based on past hurricanes. It will be moving so parallel to the west coast of Florida that it's impossible to know where, or even if, it will make landfall. Wind shear is coming which will prevent the storm from reintensifying much after today, so even if it goes into the Gulf it probably won't grow back into a Cat 5 monster before hitting the panhandle.
It's going to be an interesting 12 hours when this whore finally hits.
After the 5pm update last night, we made the decision to head out after all. Heavy traffic all night, but it moved the entire night. Made it to my mother's house in about 15 hours, not terrible for the distance. I'm getting too old for the overnight drive, though! Enjoying some cooler weather in the Georgia mountains rather than huddling in my boarded-up house awaiting Irmageddon.
If this thing actually rides the west coast and hits Tampa, it'll probably blow back up to at least a four before it makes landfall. If it goes to the panhandle, it could be back to a five. The further off the peninsula it is, the better it probably is for me, since I'm inland a bit. I don't have to worry much about storm surge.
This storm is stringing Florida along like SD's baby mama.
I'm happy that you got the farg out, Geo. It is not looking good for southwest Florida right now. But we still don't know what the farg it's going to do. Whatever. I'm just fatigued by the whole thing. It feels like we're waiting to get ass-raped in a Turkish prison, and to get us excited about it, they're showing us "King Of Queens" on an infinite loop.
Good luck Rome. Glad you got to safety geo. I was in ATL last weekend with some friends. Crazy that this could still be a hurricane potentially if/when it gets there.

I don't know what to say or how to express this but it LOOKS like this thing is rapidly downgrading. It's now a #2 with sustained winds of 110 and is forecast to be down to a #1 by the time in hits Tampa tonight.
This bitch of a storm has thrown curve after curve, but if this holds, it might be the best news ever. Wow.
It's gotten pretty whipped up here in Daytona now. We get intermittent squalls and it's probably hitting 40-50 mph but nothing awful so far.

Getting a little wet out there. Had to drain the pool again, and the yard's a little flooded.

Is that where Geo hails from? If so, sorry dude. Naples looks like it got it the worst.
We've had some tornadoes here, but not in my neighborhood. Power flickered for a minute, and I was without internet for ten minutes. Pray for me.
Why do the stations put their reporters at risk with having them stand out in the storm to give updates. We get it, the weathers zesty, but watching a reporter hold their hat and screaming into a microphone with rain, gusting wind and shtein blowing by their head doesn't enhance the coverage.
It'll keep happening until one dies. Let them get their head sliced open by a flying street sign or something.

Seems like that would drive up ratings even more. Speaking for myself, the storm guys aren't in enough danger to make it interesting to watch. If they were dodging projectiles and falling over and shtein, that's must-see TV.
Power went out, but we've got the generator going. Pool needs to be drained again, I really should have just drained out two feet to start with. 20 year old untreated fence posts snapped, so I'm without a gate to the back yard. The good thing about that is I'll be able to pull the rest out by hand and just drop a new post in whenever this wind dies down.
We're still up in Georgia. Schools are officially out for the week.
Our alarm system indicated that we lost power around 11am yesterday. Hasn't come back yet.
By and large it was, for a direct strike, about as positive an outcome that it could be. The fact that the storm made land a little south (Marco Island) and went through downtown Naples reduced Irma to a cat-3 before it got to us. And the storm disintegrated enough in passing that the possible storm surge was a lot less than predicted.
I won't know fully about my house until we get back Wednesday or Thursday. We have to wait for Irma to pass my parent's house today, and will wait for the OK from the Collier County Emergency Management. We know one friend of ours had a tree hit their bedroom. From reports of people near us, the flooding wasn't bad in our area. I'm sure that, at the very least, I will have a lot of cleaning up to do with branches and palm fronds in the yard (that's what I get for living in the woods).
We're up to 5 broken fence posts now. The horror.
Tragic. Praying for big brother.
floods are one thing, but when you start dealing with broken fence posts ? shtein got real.
Power's back on, winds and rain are gone, and my internet's back up. Truly this is a 9/11 miracle.
Had a relative check out the house today. Apparently any damage to the house was minimal. No apparent roof or window damage. No water near the house. Branches everywhere, but no trees down. We are down one mailbox. May be without power for up to several weeks (after Wilma, we had power back within 48 hours).
We'll probably stay in Georgia until Wednesday or Thursday, depending on reports of roads, traffic and gas availability.
Feeling thankful and fortunate.
Exactly three gas stations were open today in the area. No restaurants, no supermarkets, nada. 7/8ths of the FPL customers in the county were without power. That's worse than any other storm ever. Not sure why exactly. This thing was a popcorn fart compared to Matthew, yet here we are.
I fired up the genny so we have AC and a fridge. I can run more shtein but I won't bother.

glad you got through relatively unscathed. My parents house is just a few miles north on the intercoastal and it got trashed, about three feet of flooding from what I've heard. I don't expect it's an easy salvage. Ps are snowbirds not due down for another month.

Probably not? The dirt is like 99% sand, and nothing is cemented in, so I'm not putting going to any more effort than whatever zesty company installed the fence in the first place.
We're still at my parents. We want to try to start home tomorrow, but are looking at the gas shortages and possible flooding of I-75 that may cut us off.
I just want to get home and assess things myself. People who checked my house think everything looks fine, but I won't be fully settled until I can see it with my own eyes.
Officially at least, my school district is still starting back up on Monday. With most of the schools lacking power, several schools still being used as shelters and many teachers and families still evacuated, that could be tough. The neighboring district (the one I actually live in) is targeting next Wednesday.
With the lack of power and utilities slated to last possibly until the end of next week, if we do head home tomorrow, it may be awhile before I can post again after we leave.

Good luck - hopefully you had minimal damage as reports suggest. The no power thing is a real bitch. We were without it for a little over a week after Ike and it is not fun.

Home. Got power back Friday night. Got a semblance of cellular service this morning that allowed me to hot-spot successfully enough to get on this board and bitch about the Eagles a bit. A/C working (thank you Lord!). My yard looks like the Picayune Strand State Forest threw up all over after a matty-esque bender. Three full trees down in the yard, a shtein-ton of branches all over. But the sum total damage to my house is one curled shingle on my roof. Not even off - just curled a bit.
No cable or internet yet. No idea when it will come. But we have more than enough to get by until it does. Overall pretty damned thankful.
And Maria... stay the farg away. Go hit Doug Pederson's house instead.

Three full days of brush clearing leaves me two questions:
1. When did I get so farging old?
2. Why did I decide that more land was better?
Still feel blessed. Found out that only the first quarter of my street actually has power. Been trying to give neighbors time for a good shower and a/c time.
It's looking more and more like Maria is going to turn well before it hits Florida. Puerto Rico is going to get hammered, though. Could end up brushing the east coast.
talked to one of my bigger vendors in Puerto Rico yesterday, they were boarding up the office and heading to higher ground.
Not sure if this is better here on not, but what the hell...
Collier man dies in CCSO custody after curfew violation arrest (http://www.naplesnews.com/story/weather/hurricanes/2017/09/18/collier-man-dies-ccso-custody-after-curfew-violation-arrest/678346001/)
Summary (and official report): The guy (white) ran away when the car he was in was stopped by law enforcement at 1:32am. For the first eight days after the hurricane, my county was under a 9pm to 6am curfew. Supposedly he attacked an officer in the confrontation, pushing and striking him in the head. In the process of apprehending him, he was tased twice. Before being taken to jail, he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. At 8:30am, he was found unresponsive in his cell and taken to another local hospital after attempts to resuscitate. He was declared brain dead and taken off life support at 5:53pm.
all of Puerto Rico is without power.

It was 36 today as the kids were coming on campus. Some look bundled up like they live in the tundra.
About a quarter either don't own a coat or didn't bother wearing one. About 10% didn't come my way, but they may have been brought to school by a parent.

I'm going on my first cruise in April/May and have a balcony room. Like with planes I am usually ok on big boats. Put me on a small plane or small boat and I have problems (in the ocean). In lakes or whatever it doesn't usually affect me.
One time it did though. My friend had just bought a new boat - one that you'd use for water skiing. He was bound and determined to take it out despite it being rainy. So we get to the lake and we put it in but it ends up clearing up. It was me, him, his wife and three kids. However we got once of those afternoon pop up severe storms that are common and we're stuck in the lake. We tried to make it to a cove for cover and it wasn't happening. Lightning is getting close and hitting the water. I was convinced I was going to die. The waves were like that video clip because its a small boat. Water is coming in, lightning getting worse...farg me.
We finally made it to the dock and I wanted to knock him out. I may have done it were I not shivering like a leaf and his kids weren't there. And then the dumbass was like "we weren't in danger" Bro....we're the tallest goddamn things in the middle of the lake gtfo
Landlubbers
im fine with a lake.....farg the mother farging ocean tho and all its creatures

Don'a On Oahu, but a jog to the west could mean some serious shtein.
I have family on Kauai, and it doesn't look great for them. Amazing how that bitch turned and headed right for the islands.
luckily it wont be a direct hit....plus when its at its closest to any island it should downgrade to a 2...still strong winds and tons of rain of course but its making a nice turn to the west....i suspect mud slides will be the biggest issue

A more direct way to dissuade people from building in such areas is to zero out the National Flood Insurance Program, which is a subsidy to the disproportionately wealthy to build in risky areas the private insurance industry won't touch. We don't need to be paying for some icehole to be rebuilding his oceanfront home for the fourth time.

The NFIP is a money grab in and of itself. I live 20+ miles from the Gulf of Mexico, nowhere near a major river and have to shell out hundreds of dollar a year for a "1-in-500 years" flood. If I am flooded, say good-bye to the entire southern third of the peninsula.

Impressively awful storm about to smash Florida.
My chicks mom lives in Pensacola and is in Orlando right now for work. Looks like the bad stuff will miss Pensacola for the most part.
I wonder how many idiots stayed and didn't evacuate? Being that it's Florida I'm sure we will hear a ton of crazy stories about idiots doing Florida man things.
150mph winds
It was only a tropical storm until like yesterday. It's not hitting us, so I'm putting up more halloween decorations.
It's not really anywhere near us, but we've had some coastal flooding from the storm surge. Good thing I live in the woods.
My lady works for a state agency. The district up there closed for the first time in its history. They told everyone to get at least 50 miles inland preferably to the northwest. They are "on call" and are supposed to be within 2 hours during emergencies. Not this time. This is Andrew all over again.
I'm not much for prayers, but oh my good lord this one is bad.
Glad you guys are not in the path.
Romey isn't either right?
We're a couple hundred miles to the southeast. We're fine here.
isnt it hitting MAGAville
All of Florida except for parts of Miami is MAGAville, but yes it's hitting the panhandle.

Another ridiculous day in southeast Texas for rainfall. Upwards of 40" outside the city. We are on the west side and it barely rained here compared to the rest of the city.
Two "thousand year" rainfall events in two years. Ho hum nbd.

It's now 59 and a gorgeous cool breeze is blowing through the windows.
Fall has finally made it to Hellacious Acres. Say hallelujah say amen.
Soak it up.
Same happened here yesterday. We have had cooler days prior though. It was in the 70s and then overnight dropped into the 30s.
Trips me out still how big the cold weather is on the news.
Down to a frigid 69 degrees here, and we'll "only" top out at 80 tomorrow.
Mid-70s through the weekend, though. That's nice.

Batten down the hatches, Rome. Looks like Isaias is heading your way.
We're getting it a bit. We'll see how it goes but tomorrow night won't be much fun. We lose power if a butterfly flaps its wings but we have a generator so it's not awful once it passes. The entire east coast is getting this bitch, though. We're just first in line.
West coast will be mostly clear. A bit gusty and perhaps a nasty storm or two, but nothing that can't come in a normal Florida summer afternoon.
After Irma, I have a reinforced resepect for these things. Keep safe.
Looks like some good news on the storm. It's slowed way down but it looks like the ugly part might skirt past us.

Why does God keep punishing these honest Christians for the sins of homosexuals?
Its New Orleans, so there's probably a voodoo doll involved somehow.
15 yr anny of Katrina next week. This will be worse. I doubt Trump will even notice because New Orleans has all the coloreds.
I thought Katrina washed them all away and White people bought the City up?
I got back to Houston yesterday and everyone was out panic buying shtein.
Just making sure they got theirs before the next wave of Louisiana refugees comes pouring in.
Totally.
People here love to mention the Katrina refugees and illegals as reasons why everything bad happens
If you live in Houston and don't dream everyday about living in New Orleans then you probably are a deplorable.
Laura is shifting west. I believe we're going to take one on the chops.
The storm surge potential is pretty extreme for this one. 10-15 feet is incredible. Stay safe Jay.
Cat 4 now. It's "get the farg out if you're anywhere near it" time.
Twitter says it's heading towards Cat 5.
Batten down the hatches, Phreak, and get out of Dodge if you need to.
All good here, fellas. So far.
Its begun the predicted northerly turn so it's going to smack between Beaumont and Lake Charles Louisiana.
My girlfriend lived in Beaumont for awhile so her friends there are farged. Her best friend finally decided to evacuate and is staying with us.
On the west side of Houston we're expecting to se 40-60mph winds and 2-3" of rain. But it is crazy to think that only 50-90 miles away they're taking it full on. So if that SOB wobbles at all or does somehow meander its way west we're farged.
Mainly because now the forecasters say it won't have an impact here. So if this thing gets a mind of its own like Harvey then we're also farged.
Watching this one closely since its inception. Houston hasn't taken a Cat 4/5 high wind hurricane head on since the 60s. The ones that have hit here have been mild and mainly rain events. Ike back in 2008 was moderate wind and Harvey in 2017 was floods.
If this thing didn't make that northerly turn we'd have packed up and rolled out. I have no interest in riding one out and being left with no power. I know that when I build my house in the next 2 years I am getting a generator installed.
build a house in not houston pleaaaaaassseeee
stay safe
Thanks man. All is still well. The wind is picking up a bit but with the storm wobbling N/NE we probably won't see much. What we do get will be a bit after midnight.
I just saw that another system has come off the coast of Africa and it is one they're worried about following the track of Laura.
Climate change deniers aren't having a good time with these storms.
The damage is incredible. These storms are just horrendous. I lived here for 15 years without even thinking of hurricanes. Now it's 5 months of nagging worries about one of these beasts tearing our lives apart.

Nuke Texas, make Gulf of Mexico 2. Problem solved.
Here in Oregon we basically have two seasons. 'Never rains' and 'never stops raining'. The switchover usually happens around Halloween.
We had a wind event on Labor Day that very rarely occurs outside of the wet months. 65 mph gusts during the driest, warmest period of the summer. That's why these fires were able to get so huge here. Without the wind they can be contained. With wind, the fire is burning down homes before people realize there is a fire in their area. Flames can travel 50 miles in one night.
I'm a believer in climate change but I have a tough time thinking that the indirect human impact on the forest from a few degrees of average temperature change is a bigger factor in wildfires than the very direct impacts of human-caused fires, massive land use changes, and active forest management. People have radically changed the forest, just like everywhere else we go, and that would be true even without climate change.
The fires are going to happen -- large fires have been a part of the forest cycle as long as the forests have existed, and the more you fight fires, the more kindling you leave behind for future ones. It's not a problem that can ever really be solved since the "right thing to do" from an environmental perspective -- just let 'em burn -- is totally unacceptable for forest communities and timber companies. It's like letting a populated river plain flood or letting a beach community erode away. I don't envy the people who manage these lands... they have an impossible task, and everything they do is bound to piss off a lot of people.
The fires themselves aren't really climate changes fault, it's more that the extreme weather caused by climate change makes them more likely or worse, ie dryer dry seasons, longer droughts, changes in weather patterns, etc
Sure. I just think that when you have hundreds of thousands people playing and working in the forest: driving through it, converting it into farmland, harvesting it, replanting it, treating it with chemicals, stomping through it, setting fires in it, and firefighting in it, that's gotta change the fire risk profile a lot more than extending the dry season a few days will.
You can see how glaciers change due to the climate because a slightly shorter period of ice accumulation adds up tremendously over decades. But if hundreds of people were out there pointing spaceheaters at the edge of the glacier every day, or putting a tarp over it so snow can't fall on it, I'm not sure the gradual climate change story should be the main focus when talking about glaciers.
A lot of our plywood comes from Oregon (manufactured by Timber Products in Medford) and the PNW. I was talking to my guy there yesterday and unfortunately seven of their mill employees have lost their homes.
Tents you mean. Surely they don't pay their employees enough to have homes?

We have sleet here. It's 25 right now with a feels like of 17. Tuesday morning it'll be around 7.
It was rainy earlier this morning so the roads have been wet all day. It's going to be a shtein show. Already a 20 car pile up tonight on one of the toll roads:

bad scenes abound down there...
FIL is in Weatherford....lives in a double wide....no heat...no electricity...2 degrees outside. no generator, etc. Elderly, stage 4 prostate cancer, lives with his wife (healthy physically) and MIL (ancient).
Gonna be a lot of dead people from literal freezing to death, and from carbon monoxide poisoning
Yes.
Right after my last post we lost power. It's still out. People have died from carbon monoxide poisoning from try to heat stuff inside.
The failure on the power companies is huge. Them and the texas government are at fault for not having enough energy secured for the grid.
Some people's power is coming back. It's getting down to the 40s inside our house. Today was sunny and some melted but it'll re freeze tonight and we have more freezing rain coming.
We drove around a bit bc we went to my gf mom house and places that had power were packed. Line of 100+ to get into Walmart. Fast food places are 50 cars deep.
What complicated things is that cell service is intermittent. In our house only my gf can text. None of mine go through and neither of us can access the Internet.
We have plenty of food and booze. At night we lock ourselves in my office with a lot of candles and watch a movie on my iPad (almost dead) and play scrabble.
Hopefully the farging hilbillies running the power companies get their shtein together.
Texas is the only state in the union that controls and operates its own power grid. I hope you and yours are ok, Jay. As someone who lives in a backwater shteinhole, I (and Geo too) can certainly empathize.
Total leadership failure in Texas. This is from the (now former) mayor of Colorado City, Texas. Holy shtein.

Holy shtein. That's amazing. farg that guy. I actually can get my phone to load at the house. How long will it last I don't know. But I'm to the point where I'd beat that guys ass if I saw him. I'm frustrated. And cold. Sleeping in two pairs of sweats, two pairs of socks and a shirt and hoodie isn't fun. I woke up this morning stiff as a farging board.
Thanks for the well wishes Romey. We are deregulated here and a thing called ERCOT regulates the grid and they have failed. They've jacked price up to high that some companies cannot afford to get power to give to their customers. If they do they'll pass it along to the consumer (hello four figure power Bill) or if they don't pass it they cannot afford to buy power and it'll bankrupt them. So residents get farged. And it'll shock everyone to know that Ted Cruz and Dan Crenshaw don't give a farg. I'm supremely pissed off. Ercot knew about this impending weather and they didn't do shtein to prepare the grid.

shtein. That got us beat by far lol
We got power back about an hour ago. I don't expect it to be on for long. We are soaking up the heat and Internet while we can - and charging everything for when it goes down again.
The more I think about this the angrier I get. A total failure on many peoples parts.
How fast did Home Depot sell out of portable generators?
Twitter is saying El Paso is still on the national grid and has power.
I don't know much about ELP - that's about 700 miles from here (funny bc that's the same distance from Chester County PA to Chattanooga TN - the first leg I drove when moving down here).
They could be since they're so far away from everything else.
Most of the stores were closed Monday and Tuesday. No one could drive because of how bad the roads were. Although I did see some opening up when we went over to her moms this afternoon. Lines were 50-100 deep at fast food places, gas stations and WalMarts. Ridiculous.
The news showed a line at Home Depot and mentioned generators but it'll start getting back to normal temp wise on Saturday. I'll be in shorts this weekend.
I said this before and this reinforced it - when I build my place it'll have a generator. It's worth the 8-10k to have one built in. Between the hurricanes and times when these fargs can't keep the power grid going it'll pay for itself.
This thread is funny.

He's right.
It's a god damn third world disaster here.
We stopped by Kroger on the way home from getting my gf from work. We were about 30th in line. When we left there were about 100.
No meat, dairy, deli, frozen food, produce...all thrown away or cordoned off. Because they lost power so it's deemed unsafe.
No water and about out of paper products. We already had a lot of water but since there's a boil water directive we wanted to see if we could get more. We ended up grabbing a lot of the SmartWater/Evian/fancy shtein singles.
In a lot of parts of the city there still no power so no stores are open. All fast food places minus a few are closed. And the few that are the lines are 50+ deep.
A real farging shtein show. And the more I read about ERCOT and their failure with the grid the angrier I get. Lowlife scumbags.

We talked about it tbh. Either there or Beaumont where her friend still lives. But since power came back we aren't as desperate. Had we continued down that road we would've likely bolted. But until this afternoon the roads were impossible to drive on.
I took her to work this morning and had a few pucker moments on some bridges. But thankfully wasn't too bad. Area hilbillies in their trucks going too fast bc they think 4x4 means no problem.

Lol I'd be following the storm up the country and get there in time to see my friend Mr Ice again! Let's just meet in Clearwater and boo the Phillies.
We came back online. I'm sure it'll go out again soon.
Ted Cruz got on a plane with his family and headed for Cancun where it's presumably warmer than Texas.
And no, I'm not kidding either.
He's a farging scumbag. People freezing to death in their homes and he bolts.

He blamed it on his kids lol and then since he was caught all he could do is admit he was wrong.

I don't have to mention what a disaster this would have been. Here we are in the USA's biggest energy producing state and we were thisclose to a total system failure.
Incompetence
Greed
Cronyism
Negligence
All of those apply here. There's a report out today where some natural gas companies are giddy about increased drilling. They're bragging about what a jackpot this storm is for them. Jerry Jones happens to own one of the drilling companies.
Rates on gas and other related energy things have been jacked up. So we the public will be getting astronomical bills unless you're lucky to be locked into a fixed rate plan. Which some aren't.
Free market! Socialism! Communism! Texas can secede!
Bullshtein. Texas' arrogance hurt it on this. Their desire to have their own energy grid is fine. But when they neglect it because it's privatized that's a problem.
I grow increasingly more jaded as the time passes when we see the multitude of failures in government. You can apply that to any level of government btw. There is zero accountability.
And that was shown during the impeachment proceedings and now all the way down to state and local levels.
Politicians are ruining people's lives. And I'm farging sick of it. The United States of America should not have these issues of residents not having farging heat or water. People shouldn't die because of free market in healthcare or public utilities. People should not have to line the farg up in bread lines to feed their families. Utter horseshtein.

Looks like the models fell apart for this weekend. A shame, we were on the verge of greatness
The models shifted back west yesterday evening, so now we're getting at least a 3-5 inches it seems. If Euro holds up and ends up being right it could be more like 8. And if euro is right that means Long Island and Boston are getting buried
city might well get 5-6...pure blizzard for the shore
then up to the high 50's in a few days
I miss the snow.
It'll be sunny and "cold" here this weekend. low of 32 Saturday
Poor New Orleans -they're getting rocked by a tornado right now.
Same storm that spawned all the tornadoes here yesterday. We were in Wimberley (south of Austin) and beat the storms home by a couple hours. If we would've left at noon then we'd have been farged. Crazy ass wind on the drive home too.
This morning was the severe storms here. 60mph winds and crazy rain and hail.

Scenes from Bethany Beach in DE
I get that pretty much every afternoon in the summer. Right around 4 pm.
I've forgotten what rain looks and feels like.
When we finally get a rainy day here I'm going outside and stripping like Andy Dufrain in Shawshank
Last night here at 11:15 PM it was 81 degrees with a feels like temperature of 88. Humidity was north of 80% and the dewpoint was 75. Downright gross
Drive down the shore and cool off

Hope you packed your gold bond powder or compression shorts
That's June-Sept here and this year has been especially brutal. I get angry at the lack of rain and cloudy days. I can't wait for winter.
Geo and me about to get blown the farg up.
He's dead in the eye of this farger and I'm catching that tail end just like Hurricane Charlie in 2004.
Honestly, we deserve it for what DeSantis and the rest of these Florida funholes have done lately. My only regret is it looks like it's missing Palm Beach and Tallahassee entirely. Two nazi birds and such...
Buckle up, boys. Hope you and your homes make it through ok.
I was wondering if that mofo would hit the gulf alley and explode. I think the "cold front" that's coming through our area from w-e is steering that you guys' way.
I just got a call from my homie at the EOC. They are saying it's trending west a bit but the model they use indicates it's intensifying. Miami and FTL are now pretty much out of it but the other models are all over the place from Tallahassee to Tampa.
I haven't been activated yet but Monday is looking definite for me to be called in. Delightful.
The track keeps edging to the west, a bit further away from me... but also out over the boiling Gulf of Mexico longer.
It wouldn't surprise me if this thing blows up to a Cat-4 before landfall.
My concern is less the wind, as it looks like I'll be a bit away from the eye, but the rainfall, as we already have a bunch of standing water from a deluge of rains in the past month.
Right now it looks like the center path takes it in between Clearwater and Spring Hill. Of course, that can change over the next few days.
I'm sure DeSantis will be comfortably hiding up Trumps ass somewhere.
Speaking of which - any chance Mar A Lago is leveled?

Not unless the hurricane takes a sharp right turn somewhere. It's on the Atlantic coast in Palm Beach.
Bummer.
The last update pulled it further out in the Gulf, and SW Florida is barely in the cone. The Panhandle may get more of it than my area at this point.
Nothing of value there to be lost.
That would be Matt Gaetz's district then.
These storms are maddening. Someone is getting pummeled in this mess and that's the worst part of all of this. Me and mine are ready and since it's not an Atlantic storm we're not getting the full brunt but the worry and general societal lunacy that comes with these things is really taxing.
My daughter is in a Jacksonville which is now an added worry but she's way away from the coast in a secure building. Still concerns me with her being away from us.
Whatever. Still a few days away. Just wait and watch. At least it's not wildfires. Those are way worse and we've been through those before. Truly scary with nowhere to run.
This hurricane has now led to yet another scrub of the Artemis 1 launch (which they were going to try on Tuesday). They haven't yet decided if they are going to roll it back to the assembly building for safety, which would delay it even more.
Jim Cantore is in Clearwooder.
We're under a tropical storm watch. More than likely, school will close on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Uber Patriots will be upset, as the first hurricane make-up day on our schedule is Veterans' Day.

looks like its slowing up enough that we could have a nice saturday before sunday washes out
thanks a lot florida
And farg you desantis
It's inching back closer to me. School is canceled for the next two days, and the rest of the week is to be decided on Wednesday.
Students were excited. They won't be so excited when they have to come on the makeup days.
EDIT: How does Jim Cantore always read it so well - right now Clearwater/Pinellas County is ground zero. That's about three hours north of me.
Yeah if Cantore shows up in your hood gtfo
The one advantage we have here is, with the later development of the area, we have newer, more hurricane-resistant construction. We had a bunch of roof damage (we didn't know it in the immediate aftermath, but mine had to be replaced), but not the utter devastation, like in Homestead after Hurricane Andrew. My house was built in 1998, and has survived three major hurricanes (Charley in 2004, Wilma in 2005, and Irma in 2017), as well as numerous other tropical storms and hurricanes.
Our next project will be to replace our windows, installing "hurricane-proof" windows. We can get about half of that comped by the state (yay socialism?), but will still cost us a shtein-ton of money.
That is good. At least Florida does something good with the construction.
What's the cost for the windows?
Here? They pay lip service but just keep building shtein and adding more concrete which makes the flooding worse
The storm slowed down and is continuing to edge further down the west coast. Now the probable landfall is Charlotte Harbor, on the mouth of the Peace River. Everywhere from Fort Myers to Sarasota will be getting hurricane-force winds, as will the coast of my county. It also won't weaken before landfall, as had been hoped earlier. Storm surge will be 6-12 feet, depending on how close the storm's eye comes to the locale.
I'm inland a bit, so we'll be having tropical force winds. The concern will be how long we're subjected to it - could be a rough stretch of 36 or so hours.

Best of luck, Geo. Do you have a generator?
shtein like this brings me back to Harvey and how it rained so hard for so long. Hopefully you guys don't have any flooding.
there is likely to be 10+ foot storm surge in many areas...I can assure you there is going to be flooding
I'm talking about where he is.
2mph under a Cat 5 right now
Jeez
Oh right, my sister still lives down there. I should check and see if she's okay.
Yeah this mofo is merciless - strengthened overnight and there isn't enough shear to break it up or weaken it much.
I'm pretty far inland, so the flooding shouldn't be an issue for me unless the storm completely stalls and pours. The coastal areas are screwed, though.
There is a small pine tree laying across my driveway. A shtein-ton of palm branches in my yard. Still have power to this point.
Eye is due west of me right now.
Ian is a farger.
Yeah I just saw they upped the storm surge projection to 16FT in some areas. That's insane.

It's been drenching rain here in Daytona all day. We haven't gotten the wind yet but the feeder bands have been unloading on us and it will continue for the next 24 hours. Then the winds come.
shtein is getting real down in Geostan. Hang in there, brotha.
Just took a quick walk up and down the street (mainly to send a few texts to co-workers... farging Verizon doesn't work at my house). A lot of standing water in yards (again, nothing threatening the actual houses), but no visible damage to any homes.
On the coast, though, it's a different story. Gulf Shore Blvd. is basically a river right now.
And prayers and good thoughts going out to those in North Fort Myers. That's an older, poorer area, and they're getting this thing right up the ass.

Harvey flashbacks
I was in a 3rd floor apt thankfully but I'll never forget that storm. When I see vids like this it takes me back to seeing friends and coworkers places get farged
I'm several hundred miles away from Ft Myers and this bitch has not let up for a single second since yesterday afternoon. I personally lost power at 5:00 PM yesterday and FPL refused to send anyone out to my house since one customer doesn't mean shtein to them. There's bigger fish to fry than that, though. It is howling right now and the storm was supposed to pass north of us and now it's going to exit south of Kennedy Space Center.
Truly awful storm. I'm not much for prayers but holy shtein I hope those folks down south are ok.
My sister just sent me a video of her kid mooning the hurricane, so I guess they're doing okay. Didn't lose power down in the Tampa area.
anyone see the video of all the water in tampa getting pushed out to sea...basically the opposite of a storm surge...pretty cool
also why doesn't florida have more power lines underground?...i never really understood that
The high tension transmission lines aren't underground, so if those are damaged or destroyed, it really doesn't matter if the others are below ground.
The real reason is cost. It's enormously expensive to go underground plus you need permission to dig whereas with regular lines they just string em up.
New subdivisions all have underground electric here without exception. But again, if the main lines go out, everyone is out. That's what's happened in SW Florida.
5G seems to be working just fine in this clusterfarg. Our 900 MHZ radios are shteinting the bed as usual but the tower we have on the east side of the county has worked perfectly. Go figure.
Well of course the government would make sure the mind control rays would keep working.
As something of an experienced hand with honestly pretty light duty digging, I can assure you that trenching is far, far more expensive than hanging strings on poles.
Especially so when you're dealing with two feet of soil on top of sand. You're just going to keep digging, and it's going to keep filling right back in.
Back online. I was very fortunate - the only thing we lost was Wi-Fi/internet. And cellphone coverage in the swamp is terrible, so I was under a communication blackout starting at about dinner time on Wednesday. But no wind or flood damage to my house.
Lots of debris to clean up - but not as much as Irma for me. With Irma, I got the eye. As I'm pretty far inland (about 20 miles) and the storm didn't make landfall until Charlotte Harbor, I got a ton of rain and TS/ maybe Cat-1 winds.
Along the coast, it will take a long time to recover. Downtown Naples, Bonita Beach, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island - all are devastated. A few teachers at my school have suffered a lot of flood damage. It seems to be the same through Orlando.

I am by far no expert. I know that the water table is really high (like 1 foot from the surface in some areas) in my area. Maybe that has something to do with it? And down here, it may be six inches of top soil on top of sand.
One thing that FPL has been doing in my area is installing large concrete light poles in place of the old wooden ones. That started after Irma, but is not fully complete.
Somehow in the entire storm I never lost power. I am one of the few. Many people I know got it back by last night. With Irma, some didn't get it back for two weeks. I'm sure along the coast it will be closer to that.
The water table is super high, yeah. Florida is essentially one big sink hole waiting to happen.

The coastal damage is wild to see. Hope the people who took it on the chin there are able to recover.
this is stupid to even say after Florida but holy shtein the rain rain hasn't stopped here for three hours now
The official estimate for rainfall here was 28 inches. I can easily believe it. Places that never flood were 3 feet under water. Places that do flood were 10 feet under water.
I escorted FEMA yesterday to show them damage. It was severe on the beach. All three were Build Back Better democrats too. How utterly refreshing it was to speak to smart and capable young people who didn't roll their farging eyes when I started talking about sea level rise due to climate change. They actually agreed with me when I mentioned coastal resiliency.
we've enjoyed a delightfully cool, showers on, showers off couple of days, which follow a long dry stretch
in conclusion: move North, fool
The cost of living is still much more affordable down there. I am not looking forward to the next oil bill.
The money cost, sure.
What about the psychic cost?
I'm good with paying money for heating oil at any price if that's what it takes to avoid living in hell surrounded by Satan's thronging shtein spawn.
I live in Pennsyltucky, the psychic cost is just as high. I'm fargin' surrounded by mediocre middle aged white guys in neo nazi merch.
Damn bro. I'll take squeegee boys and 12 O'Clock boys over red hatters rolling coal every time.
You might consider another move....come to the City. It's actually better here, even in shtein hole Baltimore City.
The story of hurricanes...
I live in Collier County but teach in Lee (the next county to the north). I drive about 30 miles to get to work.
To this point, I have not driven further than about halfway to work. From what I can see, the only real damage was to the vegetation. There are gigantic piles of palm and pine branches everywhere, including my own front yard. A few homes may have some roof damage or a broken window or two, but none that were overly noticeable. We were much more fortunate than those further west and north.
From what I am hearing, flooding did much more damage than winds in this storm. Three of the teachers in my school have significant flood damage to their homes, and quite a few lost their cars in the storm.
Collier schools opened up today. I know that some in downtown Naples have some damage, but they're all usable. Like I said earlier, my house had zero damage.
The district to the north of Lee (Charlotte County) announced today that they are going to *try* to get the schools back open by October 24.
My district will make its announcement tomorrow. At present time, I believe three schools are basically destroyed and an additional 14 are severely damaged. My school had pretty light damage, but some in the area still do not have power. My guess is that we'll cancel next week, and put off further cancellations until the end of next week with the goal of trying to get a tiered reopening in the schools that are able to do so. If that is the case, I'd believe that my school will be one of the earliest openings, while arrangements for temporary schooling will have to be made for the coastal schools.
We also have a number of students in the district (perhaps a few from my school, but many more in the coastal populations) that are currently functionally homeless. There will probably be a few student transfers between schools, or even out of the district for those that evacuated.
Helped my church unload some food and supplies from Miami that we are going to disperse through local charities. My district has received shipments sent from other school districts (Miami-Dade and Pinellas are the two that I can think of immediately) and is distributing supplies to those in need at various schools in the county.
Somehow a temporary road to Pine Island was rebuilt in five days. Publix trucks were on it within an hour to restock their shelves. The road to Sanibel is longer and is hoped to be done by the end of the month. Both Islands were devastated and will have to be rebuilt nearly from scratch. It normally would take me about an hour-plus to drive to Sanibel... less than 40 miles away.

Do the See Bees still exist? Is there a domestic version in the coast guard? Whoever built it, likely trained in the military.
According to the local rag, it was built by the Florida DOT "and its partners."
To answer your question, yes, the SeaBees (https://www.necc.usff.navy.mil/seabees/) are still around.
If i were to be in the military I'd want to be a sea bee
First ship I was on was named after a Seabee

Yep. They had to hide the bust of Lee that was kept downtown, though, because people kept vandalizing it. A group has trying to get it put back. (https://www.news-press.com/story/news/local/2022/03/22/fort-myers-robert-e-lee-memorial-bust-dispute-renewed/9457789002/) Notice that none of the names mentioned in this group that cares so damn much about unity and preserving history in Lee County actually live here.
And for the record, no, Lee never set foot in this infernal swamp.

I went there on a family vacation when I was 17. You're down at the bottom in a tropical rainforest and then they start ascending up the service road. The vegetation disappears and the entire slope looks like brownie mix. The temperature at the bottom was in the high 70's but the minibus operator had parkas for when you arrived at the top. It was freezing for sure.

Is J okay? Big tornado in Houston
Thanks for asking man.
Yep all good. That was on the south side to southeast side. We live on the west side and I work on the northwest side.
The storms were pretty fierce for us still. We did have a warning with a radar indicated hook pattern but nothing ever came of it. Usually within city limits the tornadoes are F0-F1 range with an F2 rarely mixed in. The 0/1's don't worry me. 2's can get a little hairy though depending on where you are.
3-5's are the ones that'll farg you up real nice and proper like.
I remember when we first moved out of PA when I was 8. We were in Alabama and we spent many spring days in the hallways for warnings and close touchdowns.
After that we moved to Kansas and that's when it got real. It's pretty freaky to have a pitch black night and then the sirens go off. I recall one evening that was really bad when I was about 11. Military Police driving down the street on their intercoms yelling to take cover with the sirens going off.
Central Texas and points north are Tornado Alley. In 97 the town of Jarrell TX was pretty much flattened by an F5. That one was odd for a few reasons but it tracked SW rather than NE. It also moved really slow for a twister and that contributed to the devastation.

Climate Change is not real, sir. Its a hoax by _______ (insert latest GOP boogeyman).
But seriously...this is crazy. Look I know TX is hot. But this summer has been brutal. Doing anything outside is miserable.
Haven't actually heard many SDs on this lately. Wonder why they've all gone quiet.
Now's no time to talk about the weather, there's drag queens teaching kids how to crank trans hogs with bud lite lube.
Just insane amount of climate awfulness going on right now. And depressing that half our country has become some stupefied that it won't spur the type of action these types of emergencies would jump start in decades passed

I'm working outside lately. We've been spared the worst of this heat but tomorrow will be very near triple digits. There's nothing to do about it. Show up as early as you can, quit when you've had enough. Jobs take longer, cost more.
Sounds like the client needs to buckle down, get a real job, and stop eating avocado toast.
Indoor physical labor is immensely satisfying. Outdoor physical labor seems like hell to me. Nature constantly showing up to crank up the difficulty level. Still better than interacting with the public though.
I called it over at 2:30. By then I was starting to stumble and trip a bit, starting to get frustrated and a little sloppy. Signs of being overheated. On the one hand I hate it because I want to get more done, etc. On the other hand, I dug post holes, set posts, mixed an poured concrete in 100 degree heat. I did ok. Tomorrow is another day, another roaster, but a few more posts, and progress all the same. Eventually I'll finish and the client is delighted to have me regardless of the cost. Her neighbors can't get anyone decent to show up at all, they complain. I turn them down; this client is special, only a few I'll drive two hours a day for.
Keep your fluids up. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke ain't nothin to farg with.
Pedialyte or any electrolyte drinks will help.
When I was in Florida, I made the mistake of doing yardwork when it was 100 out. I was expecting it to be 90 and was struggling to get done half of what I normally did.

Pretty sure that belongs in the climate change is real thread.
Heat index today in lovely east central hell is forecast to be 108 degrees.
My area is 117 today. And we're still in a drought three months into wet season.
Florida is going to burn this winter...
Texas is going to get fired up too.
Hate this shtein
We got regular tornado warnings here in central PA now. It's really great.
oh no, texas and florida
what ever will we do without them
Lots of Jews here in Florida. Most of them aren't here this time of year, so they've got that going for themselves, which is nice.
They're accustomed to high temps.
lol Dio
So the temps in the Gulf are like a jacuzzi. If a storm gets in there it's going to explode. El Niño wind shear usually rips storms up. But not sure if that'll even help.
We have a Cancun trip over Labor Day and watch a farging Hurricane fire up.

While the Midwest and South cooks like bacon SoCal and the desert areas are about to get Hilary. But they just caught a 5.2 quake today too. zesty time for them.
I saw a pic from Vegas that was amusing. A garbage can outside of an AutoZone that was overflowing with wiper blade packages. People out there never have to change them until now.
The Atlantic and Caribbean is cooking right now. I have a bad feeling that someone is going to get a mighty big storm at some point.
California getting a "hurriquake" is just crazy. The earth is angry... and has every right to be.
It'll prob be us while we are in Cancun in two weeks
A flight to Cancun for leisure here, a wildfire there. No connection. Right? Right?!?
Yeah no correlation. Just saying that would be my luck.
Another year, another hurricane. Not currently in the cone, but we weren't a few days before Ian, either.
So, regarding Hurricane Idalia...
We are not in the cone and will be spared the worst of the storm. Prayers for the folks in the "big bend" north of Tampa, who seem to be in line for the full force.
But my area is under a Tropical Storm Warning and the weather is still windy, rainy and overall pretty zesty.
I live in Collier County but work in Lee County, the next county north. My district canceled classes today and tomorrow, but Collier has not - and announced at noon that they are still open tomorrow as well.
Right now, Collier County has three different areas under tornado warnings. My wife's school (in Collier) has had two tornado lockdowns today. And... high school students are currently stuck in school because the district has deemed it unsafe to travel right now.
I'm watching our local meteorologist Matt Devitt (I would trust him over any of the national guys), and he's taken several subtle jabs at the Collier schools for being in session "despite being under a tropical storm warning."
Seems to me that the Collier school board (of which several are ardent Trumpers) is taking the same attitude towards tropical storms that DeSantis does with COVID... pretending it doesn't exist.
A clusterfarg.
Gotta show that storm they aren't weak and scared.
Update: Collier finally announced a school closure for tomorrow at 5:45. After trying to justify being open today by saying that the schools were built to be shelters.
The whole mess is making it onto the local news.
Maybe they tried to use a sharpie and draw the cone away from them?
Just where I want my kid to be during a hurricane, in the loving arms of the government people at the shelter I can't get to because it's a hurricane out there yo
Of course who wouldn't want their kid locked up in a DeSantis school
We got nothing from Idalia. It's breezy but actually it's really nice considering this is by far the hottest summer I can remember here. Kiddo is ok in Jax too.

Honestly, other than the tornado warnings (yeah, I know), it wasn't that bad here, either. Good soaker along the coast, but only an inch or two of rain here. Honestly could have used more, as we're still in drought conditions and it's nearly September. The rainy season hasn't been nearly rainy enough.
Fire season actually scares me this year.

Glad you Florida guys are ok!
In the 20s here with icy roads. I had to shut down and send everyone home and will likely have to close tomorrow.
At least I can sleep in after staying up late for the game.
We got our first measurable snow in 650 days or something like that. First real snow day in at least 2 years too
Rare for a tornado to hit Houston but we got one tonight.
Missed our neighborhood by a few blocks.
Over a mil without power as of a few hours ago. Thank god for generators - they're a necessity when living in TX. Not only bc of the 1900's level power grid but bc of the weather.
The high heel wearing farghead who runs this state just issued a state of emergency due to the totally normal and definitely not liberal pinko climate change related feet of rain that has soaked South Florida over the past two days.
I swear to God if I was Biden I would go on national television and offer him Bounty paper towels and that's it. And I live here.
Not just offer paper towels but rather come to Florida and throw them to the people like Felonious Cheeto Dick did way back.
20 inches in parts of my county. Flooding in the coastal areas, just wet where I am. Looks like parts of the east coast may have gotten it worse.
Driving in it sucks.

Too early to tell on a non-Trump-Sharpie map where she'll head but I have a feeling this is going to be a Tx coast storm.
Good thing the soon to be mother in law has a generator
Pre nup or die
Ponied up the money (with some surprising help from the Florida government) to install hurricane shutters all around my house. Also finally bought a generator and installed the connector needed.
All but guaranteed that there won't be a hurricane here in the next decade.

I'm shocked DeSantis allows assistance to people for such things! But glad you got them. And the generator is a game changer - her mom put hers in right after we had that winter freeze here a few years ago that killed the grid.
She lives ten mins from us so we just go there when shtein kicks off now
looks like the beryl path is gonna hit the yucatan...but then who knows if it makes a turn
fun fact beryl is my hebrew name
Beryl is coming to visit today. Should be an active 24-48hrs.
The storm has been a fascinating one to watch from its beginning. The intense and fast ramp up to a 5. And then to see if shrug off wind shear and dry air after crossing the Yucatán - the hurricane version of the South Park "I ain't hear no bell yet" meme.
I'll be finishing up last minute prep this morning and afternoon and then likely head to my girls moms place since she has the Generac.
Should be hitting us in the early morning hours of Monday so I'd rather ride it out there. Because of the zesty Texas power grid we lose power when a bird shteins on a wire so I fully expect to lose it. So it'll be nice to be at her place.

Cat 1 that just wouldn't weaken. Beryl was a bitch.
80-90mph winds and about a foot of rain
It kicked off about 3am and really ramped up around 6am. Stayed heavy for four hours and still getting 50mph winds now.
Thank god for generators. I've been watching the local news all night and day and the entertainment has been watching idiots drive through flooded areas.
shtein was nasty in the Caribbean. Glad you're ok, homey.
Was thinking of you J. Glad you are safe. Hope you have your electricity. We had a power outage for about 8 hours last month and I contemplated killing myself. My wife was a hardcore camper on Kauai as a kid, she called me a Hoyda.
Thanks fellas
We have it at home thankfully. But at the job tomorrow will be day 5. And the greedy corksucker energy company whose services die when a bird shteins on a power line said today that 500k could still be without into next week.
We are still open. But have to hand write tickets. I sweated through every piece of clothing I had on today by 10am.
I've been closing around noon to keep the warehouse guys out of the midday heat.
so in texas:
1. there is some rain
2. the power grid fails
3. businesses remain open in sweltering heat
4. people live here
Yep.
Also Centerpoint Energy is getting rightfully roasted. The whole deregulated market here farged things up. Having for profit utilities is farging stupid.
Also, because Houston Texas, the linesman are having guns pulled on them and threatened by people. So much that the county sheriff has to tell people to quit being shteinbags.
This is a whole scandal. As if the prolonged outages and threats to workers aren't enough...
Our fargface governor is wheeling his ass a round in Korea with a Centerpoint executive.
Because he's over there, and like Ted Cruz, is elsewhere during a disaster, him and his bum Lt Gov didn't reach out to the White House for disaster relief.
Biden had to call the county officials and ask them where the Lt Gov was bc he was unreachable.
Just an epic failure.
And they'll be re-elected.

Sounds like farging hell
From November until April, it's pretty nice.
My parents moved here during the recession of '91 due to my father's trucking business tanking in PA. I was in college then and moved down after graduation due to the lack of teaching jobs in PA.
Of course, I have no excuse for the remaining 29 years! :D
Up until Covid it was fairly cheap to live there compared to a lot of places. Now nothing's cheap anywhere, so there's no upside.
When the highest praise for an area is that it's cheap to survive there...pass. I'll find money somehow so I don't have to live there.
Milton is spinning up.
CF Floridians...be careful and gtfo if you have to
School is already canceled through at least Thursday. Will go up tomorrow to batten down the classroom.
My wife and I spent some money last summer hurricane-prepping the house. Have easy-close shutters and a generator. Roof was replaced two years ago. Also, not living on the water helps, as storm surge is not as much of a concern.
We'll hunker down unless the cone shifts further south. Right now, the center is Sarasota (about 100 miles north).
Oh, and my MAGA niece-in-law has completely bought the theory about Harris and the Democrats seeding the storms. :crazy
tell her you know a jew and he specifically planned it out to hit her
Jesus Christ...this is horrifying
https://twitter.com/nbergwx/status/1843444771135861007 46&t=Uib2YOn6CJgx-z2RaE9o7Q
As of now, Naples is not in the cone. The consensus models have it hitting just north of Sarasota/Bradenton. If that holds, I could get some tropical storm-force winds and a lot of rain but will be spared the damage others will be facing.
The local meteorologist says it should encounter wind shear as it nears landfall, which could possibly knock it down to a Cat-3 as it makes landfall.
Pretty much anyone living west of US-41 (aka the Tamiami Trail) in a Gulf Coast county is under mandatory evacuation as of tomorrow. The main issue for counties not directly hit will be storm surge and the rain totals on land that is already waterlogged from a massive amount of summer rainfall and the storm last week. A lot of people in my area already have flood damage from Helene.
Anyone in the direct path, though, will also see wind damage. And if that wind shear doesn't happen, it will be devastating.

Yeah shear seems to be the only hope. For it to have all that time over the hot ass gulf and for its eye to be so small it's a tightly wound Sonofabitch.
Hoping it gets that shear. Because this "This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce." is farging scary.
And if people don't evacuate they may as well do the whole write your name and SSN on your limbs and torso in sharpie deal.
My house and family are fine. Not even as bad as I expected to get - mostly a bit of wind and rain.
The coast is flooding, but the wind and rain is mainly staying to the north side of the storm.
The eye hit Siesta Key and Sarasota, which is a bit over 100 miles north of me.

cant believe the jews sent their hurricane machine to a good democratic house
Glad you guys are okay, Geo.
My mom is down Delaware and sent me pics of the northern lights out of the bay.
Local weather dude here says we may be able to see them too
So Milton can farg right off. Lost power Wednesday night. Still out for me and five of my neighbors. The rest of the street is fine and dandy. We had water rise and got into our crawl space for the first time in 25 years. Pumping it out as we speak. Unbelievable amount of tree debris. Anyway, we're alive but holy shtein that storm was bad at its worst. That rivaled Frances in terms of intensity.
Glad you're all ok though man.
The power is gonna be annoying. Hopefully they get you back up soon. We had a lot of instances where little isolated pockets of neighborhoods were out despite the majority being on. That generally meant a special visit from the power company as it was an issue into the from the line.
We will be installing a whole home generator in our next house.
Finally got power back yesterday at 11:15AM. Came home tonight at 5:30 and it was out again. Evidently they had to do some other shtein up in the lines and it was only out a while this time.
My wife and I are selling the house. We made the decision yesterday. We have some minor shtein to clean up and some updating to do (around $10K or so) and then we out.
We're downsizing and moving inland about 10 miles off the beach. Can't do this anymore.
We also agreed to move back home when we retire. She has (4) years left and I have (6) but we could pull it off in (4) if we get the last of our mtg paid off. We're really close and I cannot wait to leave this miserable hell hole.
by home do you mean next door to me
Next door? shtein he's moving in WITH you.
