  1. It's right on there... edh1981. I was thinking maybe Lmolineux but I think he did the penis map in the Gulf.
  2. Y'all can thank me for reviving Randy's storm mode announcement.
  3. I actually hope people start playing this one up... within reason. Call it responsible hyperbole. Potential for a pretty bad outcome and timed on a holiday with more out of towners in the mix.
  4. I've never been able to embed tweets. True story.
  5. Looks like the earthquake occurred in the northeast Ohio seismic zone.
  6. That looks like the old school TWC graphics. Who knew that they're still in use.
  7. I doubt it. Of course it gets crazy hot there but the dews aren't high enough. My guess for highest heat index would be somewhere in the Midwest, which has the benefit of extra evapotranspiration from the crops.
  8. Agree... go with the reliable info when you have it. I just meant that the data to pick from is a bit limited by not having public access to the intrahour obs from many years back.
  9. Looks like that was intrahour. That's the thing... these wind chill records are almost always going to be hourly readings since I don't think it's possible to find intrahour observation archives from long ago.
  10. I was in Lafayette, IN back then. Looks like the wind chill bottomed out at -40
  11. 1/6/2014 was quite an experience. Besides the extreme cold, the fact that the temperature dropped to those levels so soon after the snowstorm meant that the roads were a mess. Even the main roads had that layer of hardened snow that wouldn't come off.
  12. The Kansas/Missouri records being colder is a little surprising, but there could be various reasons. Even could be some microclimate thing.
  13. Congrats on the job. Sucks that another poster is moving out of the region though.
  14. All that is is modeled precip amounts from the moment the temp drops to 32 or below, with no consideration for rates (heavier rates tend to have more runoff) or whether temps are more like 31-32 or in the 20s. They give an idea of where icing may occur but otherwise I would not take them literally.
  15. It's not good toward the Midwest. In fact, a pretty significant amount of the country is abnormally dry or in drought conditions. 90 day precip % of average The feedback loop can be much more of an issue in warmer months as evaporation rates increase, so you are right that this would be a much bigger concern if these dry conditions are still around in Spring.
  16. Agreed. I don't think I had ever been so paranoid/nervous about the weather. Knowing about 8/21/17 for over 10 years and having such a small window of opportunity was stressful. It would've taken me a while to get over it had I missed out lol. Glad things worked out for many folks.
  17. 1 week ago, all the planning and drama about whether clouds would cooperate. I'm getting some eclipse withdrawal.
  18. I dvr'd some of the coverage and got around to watching it and wow, it looks like it was dark as night during the total eclipse in areas that had clouds. Like parts of Oregon, downtown Nashville, and parts of South Carolina. Areas with little/no clouds had more of the dusk look.
  19. Forgot to post this before. Tom Skilling's reaction was gold.
  20. The 2045 eclipse in the US will be insane with 6+ min totality. I don't think I will be globetrotting to future eclipses but I'll certainly try to get to the US eclipses.
  21. I am very glad I had non internet/GPS maps, especially since I made the decision to switch targets in the morning. Internet/GPS capability was pretty awful where I was driving in S IL. Then again I'm not sure how good it is to begin with in those rural areas.
