Cold Rain

Mine do the exact same thing. I have to end up doing what Frosty does. Maybe I'll take one upside down and see if it posts right side up.

Somebody needs a V-8!

^ Hahahaha! Nice!

Big Frosty, where did you go??

Haha! It looks like you're having a good time at a New Years party. #commentarypreventfail.

Taking what?

Best 64 or 60 year old pic ever. Cenegenics FTW!

You need a V-8, dude!

Condole....Congrats on the wedding, Burger! Awesome pix!

Found it! You can thank me later.

It's the evil feature that sits over the SE or off the SE coast that prevents our cold and snow. We don't want it. Bad. Most of the time in a -PNA pattern (troughing along the west coast), you get a ridge in the SE. By the way, I've also added the TWC Classics site to the Misc. section in my earlier post.

Added Grit's upper-level wind data site.

Thanks, Burger. Very useful stuff!

Thank you sir. I bookmarked it too, because, like Buckeye, I have to redo my favorites on my work machine from time to time. For some reason, we have trouble upgrading technology.

No worries. I went back and edited my post to now include all of the links that people sent. It's all organized in one post: It's in Post 68 on Page 2 of this thread.

Ha! Will do. I'll do it tomorrow afternoon.

Pre-congrats, by the way!

Sure thing. Fine by me. Is there a way to put all the links in one post? I was thinking that after giving enough time for folks to post their favorite links, I would compile and organize them in my first post in this thread. But I'm up for whatever folks think is best and would be most helpful. And would someone please add Dacula's site? I'm not at my computer and it's a great resource that should be added.

Great sites guys. Thanks a lot. I was looking for that wind map Stove! I used to have a link for it but I lost it.

With the winter season fully underway, I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread that could contain links for the various websites that provide weather data, such as model guidance, climate data and research, weather blogs and commentary, etc. I have seen several requests in various threads for this kind of data (I have made some myself) over the past few days, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread we could link to. If this compilation already exisits, please feel free to delete this thread and point me to the correct place. Otherwise, hopefully, this will turn out to be a helpful resource. Please post your favorite websites with a brief description, if you are so inclined.

Ha! Ritalin can help with focusing.

The guy in the foreground must be an agent. He's moving very fast.

WHAt?! The "What" chant was/is one of the best, most durable audience-engaging chants of all time in any sport.

Ha! Yeah, Chimay will break the bank fairly quickly.

Awesome. I hope you rounded everything off with a Chimay.
