Great Snow 1717

boldest pre winter call ever!!

I love the house being cool. Feels great after the heat and humidity of summer.

Just think back to the tree damage from the storm in March 2018.

I'm not saying Sandy wasn't a very impactful storm BUT I still believe a CAT 3 or higher in SNE would cause even worse devastation. The original post was about some individuals in the SNE subforum who want/wish for a Cat 3 or higher to hit SNE.

Sandy wasn't a Cat 3 or higher hurricane. ....the damage would be far more extensive.

A similar hurricane would be a life altering event. I never want to experience it.

And to think some individuals in the SNE subforum want a Cat 3 or higher to hit SNE...As the old saying goes" Be careful what you wish for"..

I recall seeing that on TV. ...it was interesting when the 2 guys came strolling into the picture lol

Too bad Udoka isn't married because that would be a great screen name for him..

Correct !!! they refer to it as "running" in order to make themselves feel better about "running" at a mile every 20 minutes pace...

Normally I would but the Celtic's "coaching" situation is a priority ..

Hopefully not. The destruction from a similar storm would dwarf the destruction in 1938. Life as we know it would be altered for the worse for a long time.

Seems like there is an issue at KLWM.....rain total seems "light"..

I agree. Most of them aren't all that accurate. Stratus is more accurate.

Well you lost that bet...so pay up...I accept Paypal...Several people including myself were outside doing yard work... Hey instead of paying me my winnings ,keep the money. use it to buy yourself a new granny shawl ...it was 63 degrees out....you make it seem like it was Siberia in January...

One of the best days of the summer...nice and cool...ideal for doing late summer/ early fall yard work...numerous people out and about in the neighborhood ....the only people wearing jackets indoors are age 85 and above. ...if I didn't know better I'd swear you helped chiseled Moses' stone tablets...

11-19 as a head coach...and let's not forget McDaniels using a 1st round pick on Tim Tebow..cost to acquire that pick from the Ravens was 3 draft picks... nice cool day..hopefully some beneficial rain later on

After the Pats-Raiders preseason game numerous Patriots fans and members of the media were saying how much the Raiders reminded them of the old Patriots teams...I guess they were referring to the Rod Rust team???

MLB's wet dream is a dream of being on the same level as the NFL..

Usually there is some sort of "guarantee" BUT the trick is getting the paving company to honor the warranty/guarantee....good luck with that lol...They will blame the defects on anything and everything ...

Get multiple quotes. The paving industry has more scam artists in it than any other line of contracting work. Numerous ex-cons work in the paving business. Contact your local police department to find out if they have any complaints against the contractor that you are considering hiring to do the work. Talk with neighbors and friends who have had paving work done. Do not pay for the work upfront. Do not pay in cash. Be sure to be home when the work is being done. After your old driveway is ripped out, inspect the site. If the area is wet then it has to dry out before any paving can begin. At the same time check to see how much gravel is there. Gravel may need to be added. And at this point you are somewhat past the best time of the year to have a driveway paved. The conditions aren't as favorable as during the late spring and summer. Contact the Attorney General's Office to find out the history of any company that you are considering hiring. Contact the BBB also: BBB Scam Alert: Need a new driveway? Look out for asphalt paving scams

Perhaps it is time to turn to self taught AI to develop a better computer program to forecast the weather.

The issue is the entire sample size we have to work with is small considering the age of the earth. We really do not know how many 3rd year Ninas there has actually been. Add in a climate that has fluctuated over time and it makes the use of analog years "risky" when it comes to predicting weather. As a chess player knowledge is power. Most chess databases contain millions of games. I can search the database for moves and positions. I can find the results for the games that had a certain move played at a certain time in the game. The break down is percent of wins for white, the percent of wins for black and the number of draws. Since there are so many games in the sample size it makes trusting those percentages far easier. Unfortunately for mets and weather enthusiasts no such weather database comes close to having the amount information found in most chess databases so it makes determining outcomes far more difficult. Far into the future the database for weather will be far better than what it is currently. The sample sizes by then will be quite a bit larger. Of course by then there may be the equivalent of the chess super program Alpha Zero that predicts weather with a 99 % accuracy rate.

Agree, climate change has just had too much of an impact. I'd be very cautious about using analog years from the 1980's.
