Sorry to hear, Mr. Blutarski. Approximately 6" here in CLT, and still coming down moderately. I was thinking 4-8, so I'll finish on the high range here. Cool stuff.

Rates have definitely picked up in Pineville.

About 2" so far in CLT/Pineville.

I saw the reaction to 2" of snow my first winter down here. I can't imagine what a foot of snow would do. I can imagine people looking out of their doorways while "Arms Of An Angel" plays.

Touche!

I think I'm more curious to see how the people down here react to what would be barely considered a moderate storm on Long Island.

Oh man, this sucks. Burnsie was good people. My condolences to you, John, and your family.

Maybe that Moderator dude can do you a solid.

I guess we're not in Kansas Long Island any more, Toto...

Lol, I wonder if this is that Midwest Hurricane Center joker from years back.

The setup is reminiscent of Chariey, taking advantage of the trough position accelerating the outflow.

If a subtropical storm strengthens enough to have 74+ mph winds, then it's getting that type of energy from either a barotropic or baroclinic source, not a messy combination of both. In addition, at that wind speed, it would be pretty much physically impossible for it to not become more fully tropical, since angular momentum would lead to enhanced convection near the center, thus warming the core. Of course, this example is for a storm that started as subtropical, not a tropical storm or hurricane that has begun to acquire some extratropical characteristics.

I just had a massive toilet bowl clog let go, and it quickly spiraled down the bowl. NHC just designated it Invest 91L, and will be intiating advisories on Tropical Storm Gamma at 11:00 tonight.

Is iCyclone headed to Lisbon???
