    Read the room. It’s not difficult. You are not a regular contributor in here so dropping in for this stuff out of the blue is the wrong vibe.

    Thanks for the in depth stats. I think everyone agrees there was a warm period over the holidays, but this is a forward looking thread so let’s take it easy on the past details.

    Indeed...Weathernext is there. I assume I have the hobbyist level...CWG gave me gratis access upon retirement. I am sure it is just another path to disappointment!

    Yeah, well, Scottie, this has always been the case. It has more visibility now than it used to....for every blizzard of 93 where it was forecast 5 days out to the March 2001 debacle in the northeast....such is living as a meteorologist. I burnt out on this stuff a while ago but I still enjoy watching the lead in. Most meteorologists add massive value to people's lives but only get called out when it goes wrong. Until they make a computer that can intake data from every point on the globe at every altitude all at once then model it, things won't change (i.e. won't happen in our life time) ...and if it does eventually happen, then it will be boring....

    Hey Carver! I am not in that one…I did meet Joe D’aleo in 1984 when I got to do a two week job shadow in high school there. I never did meet John Coleman. I didn’t start until 89 and both were gone. I am, however, in the other book. There is a 4 or 5 page segment on the behind the scenes chapter where I got some love! https://www.amazon.com/Weather-Channel-Improbable-Media-Phenomenon/dp/B004JU1T2U

    A reset has been done if he could try to log in when he gets a chance.

    I saw that @*Flash* posted video from 2012 and thought it would be a good edition to this thread...I managed to take the above photo of the storm that produced the Harrison EF3. This was at Exit 11 on I-75. I could not go any further on the chase being a single dad of three...my time was up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_March_2–3,_2012

    It was archived....I found it but it was last posted in early 2018 so I cannot recover it. Fire away with a new one though!
  11. Mr Bob
    Glad to have you back!
  12. Mr Bob
    Can he double check as I am showing his email as the one he wants to update to (the gmail account). I do not see the charter account.
  13. Mr Bob
    I will relay to the admins...might take a couple of days but we will get it figured out!
  14. Mr Bob
    I pinned it in case anyone wants to read through or add to!
  15. Mr Bob
    You are most welcome! Glad to have you back…Enjoy the upcoming event!

    I hesitate to ruin this winter since the last obs thread I started was in late 2015… looking forward to pics of carpets of white…
  18. Mr Bob
    This is a terrible tragedy unlike anything we have seen in this forum's history...please let's keep it to weather and information as we have been over the last week. Thank you.
  19. Mr Bob
    Thanks for the links, Carver....lots great info there.

    The 4 PM UPDATE has 120 mph winds with a 951 mb pressure.

    While we lost power from the morning squall for a few hours, I was fortunate not to get any damage....As Jeff said, it was an incredible lightning display last night. And I have never seen so many warnings in our area at one time. I know this was not anything like 4/27/11, but it was pretty wild for this area.
  22. Mr Bob
    It was a wet slushy snow...I had forgotten about that one.....
  23. Mr Bob
    I am....spent a couple of years in Knoxville back around 2014 but mainly in Chat...
  24. Mr Bob
    They corrected it to Jan 2011 but we had 2.5" in Feb 2020 and a major snow event in late February 2015 (at least 5-6" downtown). I have pics!

    I was a sophomore during Kate living in the dorm...we actually never lost power (may have been a generator for campus but I don't recall) but parts of Tallahassee took more than three weeks to get power back. They sent us home early for Thanksgiving since the city was such a mess.
