mackerel_sky Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 A note to all my friends in our group. I lost my Dad this afternoon around 100pm. He has been bed riden in skilled care since an April 2012 failed hip operation that left his back broken in 3 places. He was 86. It grieves me tremendously but the 3 of us in my family have been blessed tremendously to have had 2 great parents that instilled in us our Christian Faith, a good work ethic and a nuturing childhood to help us be a success in life. .

You are not enjoying your gift of a southern summer? Do you not like sipping sweet tea out on the porch while fanning yourself at a high rate of speed as the sweat puddles around you? The smell of deet that is now imprinted in your memory as you try not to be carried off by a swarm few mosquito's every time you walk outside?

nchighcountrywx Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thank you to everyone for the kind words and notes on the loss of my Father. I sincerely appreciate it. We were blessed with a special day for my Dad's service. Everything was as best as could be expected. His graveside military US Navy honors, taps and his Free Masonary fraternal rites are something I will cherish forever to my Dad's life. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I found something very interesting today looking at TV Spy and all the other media sites...this could be of interest for any Alabama members of the sub-forum... Sinclair Broadcast Group has acquired a number of stations that are owned by Allbritton Communications Company including ABC 33-40 in Birmingham Alabama. http://www.sbgi.net/site_mgr/temp/Allbritton%202_1fhrbvkt.shtml As we all know that station has always been a leader in the South thanks in large part to James Spann who is a well known Chief Met among the profession. Granted I don't live there or have never been to Birmingham but it seems like Spann has pretty much free reign by the station and management during significant weather events. The reason I find this interesting is that ABC 33-40 will now be owned by a group of conservatives who don't exactly rank weather as its highest priority when it comes to its news broadcast and production. I know this first hand as my local DMA (Asheville/GSP) has a Sinclair station as one of the Big 4 Affiliates. Of course Spann has built such a great reputation over the years that it wouldn't be hard for him to land a job at a competing station inside the same market or if he wanted to go the private business route he could do that as well. I am curious to see plays out in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 So, when are we gonna have a premature August observation thread? And what will be the headline: "Wetter, Bigger, and Uncut;" "slouching toward Autumn;" "the Summer that Almost Wasn't;" "Blame it on the Rain;" or "Goodbye Summer, We Hardly Knew You?"

metalicwx366 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm starting the August 2013 pattern and discussion thread. If anyone else tries to start it, there will be a major heatwave in August and no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
