Whineminster Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'd have to say the Delmarva drive seems to be the worst....its so flat and literally nothing there but chicken farms...the drive down 13 to VA beach is so horrible. It literally all looks the same and seems to never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do without this stretch of dews though.I'm ready for the late week COC. It's been awhile since we've seen single digit 850s up here. I've actually found myself looping those stupid 800hr CFS runs in anticipation for the first legit fall airmass. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 How did the softball/rescue/adoption event go Saturday? Agreed fantastic, had to work puddles off the field in the AM but not a drop of rain. Long day 8 to 8 but we raised good money for vet care for the rescues.

It literally all looks the same and seems to never end. Actually just did that drive on Sunday coming back from OBX after a long vacation. It's for sure pretty brutal stretch.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Boring summer weather is good for us who like to do outdoor activities without our balls sticking to our inner thighs.... severe wx is cool when ur clicking buttons on ur computer watching someone else lose power but sucks when hits ur backyard and ur stuck indoors because of it or worse...forced to drive in it.

powderfreak Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Actually just did that drive on Sunday coming back from OBX after a long vacation. It's for sure pretty brutal stretch. Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is always interesting to go over though. I have family in VA Beach so do that drive once a year on average and Delaware is brutal. Only positive is that it means I'm almost there and just have the Bay Bridge Tunnel to go. I love that Chesapeake Bay bridge....once drove it right before they shut it down for a storm, and it was at night, coolest thing ever. Wind blowing, it's dark and all you can see are the tops of the huge swells moving past just below the road height. You can't see the big ocean out there, just these foreboding huge swells of what looks like black waters. It was creepy and awesome at the same time.

dryslot Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 An inch more than what fell in the snowy foothills.

CoastalWx Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If one can ignore a 30-mile-wide strip between NYC and PHL (the "Corridor State"), NJ is quite nice - glaciated hills and abundant lakes to the NW, farms, pineys, and beaches to the SE. (Though this last would be a lot nicer if one did not have to compete with so many other drivers trying to get to/from them.) I'd rather the quieter beaches down by ACY. The NW part of the state is pretty. Nice area NW of 287. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that thing really is an engineering marvel, I drove over it at night as well.....it felt like I was driving in the middle of the ocean by myself lol. Now they just need to build something similar across Delaware Bay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Was at the Watch Hill lighthouse today. This flagpole survived Gloria, Bob, Irene and Sandy but the microburst last week with 75 plus mph winds took it down. The Museum down there is cool with lots of 38 hurricane pics.So cool being there as the fog bank lifted . . The fog horn is automated by a duel camera system that measures visibility night and day.
