Now you have gone and done it. Now going to have two pages of people arguing back and forth about if one great storm makes a great winter even if the rest of the winter sucked. And the correct answer there is that one storm does not make a good winter.

LOL. Looks like I missed all the fun. And it isn't even winter yet.

That sucks. Think the worse part about it all is dealing with the insurance. 00z Euro likes your thinking on Flo with a CAT 2? into SC and GFS is a big tease off the coast but I have a 5 spot that says Fish storm. Game?

Sept 22 won't work on my end. Will be out of town that weekend. But as wxdude64 said if it works for everyone else I will just catch the next get together.

Last couple of times I looked it was decent. Guess it was about time for it's bipolar phase to kick in. Really can't get worked up about it either way.

Planning on it on my end if I can. At this point weekends are a crap shoot due to family obligations so I will be rolling the dice with whichever one you all decide on.

Latest Enso anomaly map. https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/map/clim/sst.anom.anim.week.html Looking at the latest 2 week loop suggests that if we in fact see a Nino (60% fall, 70% winter) a Western based one would probably be favored, at least initially. Can't rule out it morphing towards a central based Nino (Modoki) with time but with the continual up-welling of cold pools moving westward into the eastern portion of the 3.4 region it doesn't look favorable at this time. Both phases are good for snow chances in our region with the Modoki probably being favored. All of this is contingent on a -NAO for the winter to allow cold air dumps into the Eastern portion of the nation. Otherwise a +NAO bottles up the cold in Canada and we waste an active southern jet as it brings in the storms and moisture but the warmth as well.

Maybe, but they wouldn't be as much fun.

What about me? You make me feel like chopped liver. There you go thinking again. Little more thought and you would have realized that was not the way to go because most people don't have 8-10 cars to park up there for the coverage. Now Flame Throwers are the ticket. Much more economical then running a bunch of cars and you don't have to build a ramp.

I decided to move to Florida. Roofs caving in due to wet snows is scary stuff.

Nothing close to that in my neck of the woods. Might have had gusts to 35-40 mph for maybe a minute as the storm first broke but after that it was pretty pedestrian.

Wasn't anything earth shattering up this way. Quick down pour with some straight line wind gusts that lasted about 5 minutes but then it settled down for the most part with light wind and rain. Very little in the way of lightning and thunder though. Haven't really had anything noteworthy this year in the terms of severe though we have had quite frequent storms.

Just got back yesterday afternoon after spending almost two weeks out of town dealing with family matters and find the Garden is an absolute disaster. Oh well, guess there is always next year.

What's that? Snowstorm in Florida between Dec 27 - Jan 7? Got it. Will put that in my calendar.

That bar was just underneath our room. Go out on the balcony and watch the crowd roll in. We never made it down to it though because we were busy elsewhere.

Maritime beach club? That is where we stayed. Wasn't a bad place but I have been in better. But it had the #1 thing that made it great. We didn't have to pay for it. Father was out from California to vacation with us and he transferred one of his condo plans over to pay for it. All it cost me was buying the meals for my father. And that I had to force on him.

How do you get thug in a Hyundai?

Stayed at n Myrtle last year. Loved it. Isn't congested and built up like farther south. If you haven't been there yet, Duffy street seafood shack had some great seafood. It is on Main Street.

So you finally broke down and took a bath?

As I said, the board is good for a laugh.

Didn't even think to check for them there. Maybe I will visit. The site is always good for a laugh.

Anybody check the obits? @mappy and @H2O seem to be MIA. Or are they just too good for us common folk?

But the flatulence levels are at historic highs which would suggest otherwise.

I do remember reading something about this as well. But if I recall correctly we were talking such a small sample size that you had to take this premise with caution.
