Hurricane Agnes

Wow. I usually try to check in often to see what is going on and just saw this thread. There are quite a few of us who do more lurking than posting but we are here (and yes, some of us are paying members ) and when events happen, we usually pop up and chime in. But given the more benign weather patterns of late, it's been relatively quiet in here. I think after past years of threats that became a big fail and other issues like wacked-out models that caused municipal over-reactions. etc.), plus this year's El Nino handwriting-on-the-wall, then I think that's why it seems dead (with less banter and model posting). But if you look in past threads when storms were imminent and/or on-going, there has been a lot of good discussion without all the weenie and left-field bravado posts. IMHO, the microclimates here (Delaware Valley) really are a bit different, being a blend between Mid-Atlantic and NYC and I do appreciate the folks in this region providing "heads-up" posts as storms move from west -> east or south -> north. Unless the admins think this is a waste of their resources, then I don't see why it can't remain the way it is.

He declared a state of emergency in preparation for the Pope (who was not setting foot in NJ). lol Although in all seriousness, that low that was south of here off the coast spinning for days plus the cold front and stuff about to run up the front, has been tearing up the beaches (none of that due to Joaquin). It's just sad.

He has a twitter feed here - https://twitter.com/larrycosgrove I don't do twitter but will occasionally look at public feeds...
