  1. Strongest blast here in Greenville, N.C. (at the airport) was winds S 35 G 54 at both 5:45 and 6:05 pm. Our NWS Office did a great job in forecasting a peak gust of 51 mph. Missed by only 3 mph!
  2. Your mom lied to you, lol. I was actually IN school during the 1960s (junior & senior high, Montgomery County, Maryland) and if we had a foot of snow I guarantee you the schools would be closed (until the roads were cleared.) Even the Washington, D.C. schools would have a rare closure. Traffic, even light traffic, doesn't move well in snow that heavy. That said, it is true schools close "more easily" now than back then. Consider the difference in population, traffic, and litigiousness.
  3. The climate change narrative is more than just a political game, much more. At the core is carbon credits, already a multi-billion dollar racket on Wall Street, it will grow into the trillions. You'll pay, you always do. The wealthy elites, politically-connected, and media moguls run this game, and you can take it to the bank they are not stupid. (Or perhaps you believe these people can't sleep at night because they're worried about YOU. LOL.) I see it everywhere, people barking at trees oblivious to the forest that will consume them.
  4. Thank you Floyd for the NHC track plots on Charley. The earlier forecast was remarkably accurate not only for the Florida Coast but also for the second landfall (I watched the eye pass directly overhead on Cape Fear, N.C.) The more updated forecast not only missed the Florida landfall but also had no second landfall at all! Charley is a good reminder that depending on trajectory a small error can rapidly magnify. While here let me thank you for the good work you do on your videos.
  5. Seems most everything you espouse comes straight from the World Economic Forum. I hope you're not so naive as to believe any of those globalists give a rat's ass about you or the billions of other "peasants" across this planet (or even the planet itself.) They want money and power, everything else is a side show. Putting the planet under the control of a bunch of central planners "who know what's best for us" is not the solution unless your target is a dystopian future where humans become effectively slaves or robots. ("You will own nothing and you will be happy.") Free market capitalism is the best mechanism for advancement humanity has ever devised. Unfortunately it's been under attack since the 1960s with misguided policies and ever increasing government control over every aspect of life (regulations reaching the point of fascism - crushing the individual and small business.) Note too, the "thought police" are already here. Been here for a long time actually (it started carefully with the invention of the "hate crime.")
  6. "...restoring faith in government." LOL Did someone just fall off the turnip truck? When money was real (gold and silver) perhaps, but those days are long gone. The government and its propaganda arm, the media, are enemies of the people. With a "Fourth Turning" now well underway, climate concerns will fade away as the pendulum swings from globalization to decentralization. Food and energy concerns will be tantamount, and this across all continents. The storm clouds have arrived, delivered by our government and those who pull its strings. The rest of us are mere peons.
  7. Same here as a teen in Washington D.C. back in the 1960s. The number was WE-6-1212. (Called it so many times I can never forget it, lol.)
  8. Did I say anything about guidance? No. I said I've seen many Lows pass by this coastline and this one is much farther out than normal. Much farther out. A simple, basic fact. (And your response is an example of why I almost never post on this website.) If the 850 pulls it back in, great, I'm all for it ... but again I was only pointing out a peculiarity with the track at this latitude.
  9. HRRR sure looks good. I hope the whole peninsula gets a window rattler and nice snow drifts. Was there for a blizzard once (early '90s?) and know how wild it can get on that coast.
  10. Hello from eastern N.C. I've seen a lot of Lows pass by down here but this one is waaaaaay offshore. Heck, it's running off the screen. I've a feeling this storm isn't going to pound the Mid-Atlantic coast with as much snow as people are thinking ... unless a team of wild horses pulls it back in.
  11. Hello, I've a question for you. If Kuchera snow totals are misleading, why are they so often posted? I notice the "regular" snow totals are always noticeably less.
  12. Same here in Greenville, NC. Rates have been and remain pathetic ... after 10pm now and can't imagine how we're going to reach our forecast of 3-5". Nope, ain't gonna happen.
  13. Psychology: Many people think by demeaning others it raises themselves. It doesn't.
  14. Ah, good old Fenwick. Many family vacations there in the 1950s and '60s. The 2-lane coastal highway was the only paved road (other than the Rt. 54 access of course.) The beach towns were fantastic before the population explosion.
  15. This place isn't for scientific debate, it's a cult. Talk about feedback loops, good grief, look at yourselves. No wonder so many have left. Enjoy yourselves.
  16. As an avid reader with decades of experience in the stock and commodities markets I can comfortably say the typical citizen who touts wind and solar is economically illiterate. As I said here some time ago, nuclear is the future. This is obvious. So obvious I even recommended buying stock in uranium miners (advice that already would have earned you a hefty return with much more to come in the years ahead.) The #1 article on Quillette for 2019 is from a brilliant science journalist about renewables. Get ready for some cognitive dissonance: https://quillette.com/2019/02/27/why-renewables-cant-save-the-planet/
  17. If you tally it up a little over $400B (less waste, fraud and abuse) goes to physical infrastructure. Where's the rest going? At 2,300+ pages you can wager a body part that bill (like so many others) is highway robbery of the taxpayer. But then we've reached the point where as far as the government is concerned the taxpayer is not much relevant to its massive spending; effectively we already have MMT. Apparently there are grownups who believe money grows on trees, and that China will provide us with a free lunch forever. Silly people.
  18. If the oceans warmed 30X more than all the energy produced by humans ... gee, might it be possible the warming is being caused by something other than humans? Ya think? While the World Economic Forum's narrative (a combination of Marxist and Fascist propaganda) gushes forth with the fury of a fire hose, financial opportunities should not be ignored. Gold of course as the world's currencies continue to be debased but also, silver and uranium. I entered the gold market at ~$1200/oz and the silver market at ~$14/oz. So far, so good. But only this year have I entered the uranium market (good so far.) The uses for silver are insanely numerous, from biocides, to water treatment, to of course electronics and energy. Production has been declining for five years as most of the planet's "easy silver" has already been mined. As this metal becomes more critical to human civilization, fortunes will be made in the years ahead. And speaking of the years ahead, the electrification of Africa and Asia (two continents where the middle classes are growing) will require a staggering amount of electricity. The obvious solution is nuclear power. Human civilization is not going to stop in fear of global warming, it will only advance as it always has. The "powers that be" (which now includes the corporate news media) will rape you as they always have throughout history unless you take advantage of their game. Gold and silver ... get physical while you can. Uranium is more difficult of course but you can own stock in the few companies that mine it. (I use ticker symbol UUUU.) Whatever you do, I wish you good luck and hope you don't worry yourself to death over what you can't control.
  19. I've followed this website and its predecessors since the 1990s. I read the book "1984" in junior high school 1964. A semi-retired computer and financial analyst today I see most here as intellectual robots programmed by the wealthy global establishment. For ten years I've watched this group dumbing down just as the rest of society has.
