  1. For all that do not know about the past events page at RDU, please read below. This might answer some questions for some!

     

    Past Events Event Summaries, Case Studies and Event Maps:

    The NWS Raleigh has a long tradition of providing event summaries and case studies for significant and unique meteorological events. The event summaries, case studies, and event maps serve many purposes including: a means to improve our meteorological understanding, a summary of the event for use as a training tool, a means to evaluate the station's performance (determining the training needs of the station and for individuals), and a review of the event for general interest needs. Our inventory of cases is well over 120 and it continues to grow.

  2. +1 From someone else who has been around since WWBB.

    I have been following you guys from board to board since the WWBB days and I still believe the core of Southeast posters that have hung together since those days and some of the new members that have latched on since are, by far, the best on AMWX. Glad to be a small part of a great group of people.

  3. Boss!!

  4. No joke.... I keep telling myself that at least part of it goes to a good cause but yeah it is a ton of money. No worries if you want to pass. We didn't have the cliff dive at VA. The dong dangler was about an hour into my race and then there was water obstacles spaced out enough to basically keep you wet the entire run.

    What was the mystery obstacle?

    Hanging tough. Rouge fitness straps with rings tied to the ends. Had to swing over the water. I made it about 3 in before I fell. At work some no you tube. More than 60% of the course was in the woods (no wind) but damn if the wind was not howling out of the woods. Old man winter was F'ing pissed off Saturday :)

    I will let you know if Im down man!

  5. We had the cliff dive, dong dangler, Everest, twinkle toes, and the electroshock all in the last mile. That was brutal. I was spent just after helping folks up Everest. No one wanted to fall in during twinkle toes, so everyone was going on their asses across the beam. Stood in the wind for a good 10 mins and it about killed me (shock was less than 500' away) but I ran across the beam!!. My body did not stop shaking for about 2 hours after we were done. The wind was killer man. Hoping to pull down some good pics from their site...

    I need to commit to SC in the next few weeks If I plan to go. but damn the $$ is costs man!

    Hey it was 34 degrees when I took that pic of me! But..... the wind wasn't blowing so I'll give you a pass. Great Monday after pic, so are you going to do the one in SC in October? I've got 1 guy to agree to do it with me so I just need a few more to be able to put a team in.

  6. Okay in honor of Mark completing his first Tough Mudder here is a pic of me just after doing my first last October. I'm calling you out Mark where is your pic????? I want to see some orange headband!

    Nice. It was so cold after we got done it was a rush to change clothes (wind was around 20mph with gusts to 35MPH), the only pic we got was a group shot from TM right after my team completed the course (I do not have that yet). Start temp at 9am was around 42. It was 39 when at 12:15 when we got done. But here is my Monday Morning Mudder Pic!

    That was one of the best beer ever man!!

  7. I 100% understand then. I still do not know why folks do not like men with beards or think they are unclean or some crap like that. I know I will face the day where I will be told the same thing. I do not know what my answer will be however :)

    I'm probably going to shave it over the weekend. I have to be on camera for work in the upcoming weeks and the higher ups are calling me "John the Baptist" because of it. Haha they don't want me looking like a mountain man when possibly millions of people can seem me!

  8. I keep it trimmed most of the year. But Oct- March I will only cut it twice ....

    Or until my wife tells me to cut it!

    Yea Mark but you're keeping in trimmed during the school year right? My girl likes it wild and grown out haha. I'm going to try to go until March but someone might say something at the office since I occasionally have to do video for work.
