  1. Yes I am here and have been reading, just not much to add yet lol. I just saw the maps wow is all I can say. Normally I would be giving a chance this early a big no go, but after last years (I think dec 8 or 9?) big early snow I guess it can happen. I have seen too many of these end in disaster as we get closer (although so far so good) so I am just sort of watching and waiting. I will say that one concern is the huge amount of QPF in that if we end up with more ice over snow, if it is coming down hard enough it would be less likely to accumulate and/or latent heat release would raise the temp just above freezing. Some of the amounts showing up are just outrageous and I have a hard time believing it. Of course even half or a fraction would be a good dumping
  2. wow if only we get this set up this winter lol. its pouring down rain and 37 this morning. not too far from the magical 32 mark
  3. 34 here in NE GA with a pretty heavy frost. Its a gorgeous day, and only 56 at almost noon
  4. Wow I can’t believe how strong it was when it hit. I just got outside since this morning. Went in and dark and pouring. Now it’s sunny and so freaking humid!
  5. I noticed that too - a big difference on ne ga and upstate rainfall totals right now. its hard to know which one to believe lol
  6. Ah, thanks. Trying to keep up on the latest while I am at work
  7. Am I misreading the latest update? I was under the assumption this storm (for NE GA, the Upstate and Western NC) was for like late Sunday or Monday. I guess I did not realize the storm would be starting earlier?
  8. thats for sure. we had some rain over the weekend ,but its been pretty dry here too lately (although through July it seemed to be raining every day). what is even more interesting in the track is the storm moving sw over the Gulf Stream. if I recall, many storms (hurricanes and noreasters) get a little nudge to the north as they approach the coast. to have it move sw over the gulf stream seems a bit odd
  9. Well this new track was weird to wake up lol. I thought Irma was a one time deal - if this were to happen again a year later I would be flabbergasted. Since it’s 5 days out I hope the track shifts again. I love wild wx but Irma did a lot of damage around here and I had no power for 5 or 6 days. The aftermath clean up was not fun lol
  10. Ok thanks. Maybe it just started here. Took the dogs out and it’s wet but it’s sleeting here now
  11. Ditto to big frosty. Love any Frozen precip. Heavy snow and coating of ice is fine by me. I enjoyed Monday/tues ice storm
  12. NEGa

    Welcome!

    um so i see lol. i was about to pop in here and ask who you bribed, but danggit you already admitted it. so how much did ya have to shell out
  13. sorry if i messed up your joke lol. i figured everyone in this thread would recognize the house lol
  14. hey - i love yalls house! i cant imagine the power bill though LOL (no nasty comments from anyone, yes i know its biltmore)
  15. ok fine. sigh - if everyone else can post their pic i guess i can too. i hate having my picture taken lol. even worse i hate trying to take my own pic lmao
  16. i just made a post in the banter thread, and realized i meant to put part of it here lol. i think there may be some confusion with some - the issue isnt really not asking questions and not learning. its not doing so in the main storm/model discussion thread. there is a logical reason for this - remember, when the mets and pro forecasters are talking about the latest runs, they are doing so in real time as we all are. so they dont have the time to analyze and read all of the panels for all areas. they focus on their areas, of course, and the blanks get filled in as the discussion progresses. they are taking time to post their comments here free, and this is their profession, and that is the time for them to shine maybe we could have two threads on the models - the main one and a novice one letting the novice one have a lot more questions and sort of a learn as you go thread. we all had to learn, and most in the se thread readily answer questions. but the IMBY questions as the models are running and being analyzed is just not really the most appropriate thing to go in that thread. i guess i just dont understand what the big deal is about keeping the main discussion thread clean and for a specific purpose (and keeping out unnecessary posts). ask the same question in another thread, and not at the model run time, and chances are you will receive a much different response.
  17. i agree - this year ga has been fortunate, but not the last few years. i think the 'regional bias' posts and in fighting in the se thread is what has really irked me this year. i have never felt this board to be 'nc' biased 'ga' biased etc. as we grow with more posters and have access to new info we can certainly try to be sure and include those areas. but just because n ga (or the upstate, or piedmont of nc) is in the bullseye, doesnt mean those out of it need to be nasty and say that the board is biased. seems pretty obvious to me that whatever area the so called 'jackpot' is expected to be, is of course going to be the area of primary concern for a while.
  18. i hate you too. i will see you in the parking lot after class. um, and that gosh awful blue bouncing thing needs to be banned. permanently most of the people that was really directed at i think have been properly dealt with by our mods since i havent seen many of them around. i just hope we have enough more winter wx to go this year to make this thread worth while (i mean if it warms up next week and stays that way, a lot of the posters will disappear lol)
  19. good thread! also, pls try not to be rude and insulting (or pick a fight). we have been over the regional areas (whats in the SE, is n ga I20 etc), and most people know what part of the state they live in. if people would just read before posting, many times their question has been answered. do not insult pro mets and do not pester them - they are doing us all a huge favor by posting here. and yes, what is posted here is probably not in the official NWS forecasts. the board is for discussion and possibilities. the thing that i have noticed the most are the new posters seemingly trying to pick a fight or make a mountain out of a mole hill. please be respectful to others
  20. Is this this fix to stop all the HTML tags or to increase speed the pages load? Using mobile skin it works great, the only issue i have had are the extra tags (which is fine as long as i can post and reply lol)
