I got the same thing on my iPhone and iPad via Tapatalk. Any luck getting rid of it? Do I need to delet tapatalk and reinstall?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've tried that, It want even let me log in on American Weather anymore? I know I'm using correct user/pw??? I don't know if American Wx has stopped Tapatalk or what?  I liked using it when I was on the road, does anybody know of another App that works good with American Wx???

Hey Frosty,  got the same trouble on this end.... tried to delete and reinstall to no avail...  can't log in...  Caught word from the (NYC forum... I think) that they have shut access from tapatalk for a bit to "shake the disease"....  some of the other forums I follow have been hacked recently and I know a few that are leaving tapatalk and creating their own app because of all the problems over the past few months...

Tapatalk has been temporarily disabled.  There's multiple bugs going on with it.

This is from the NYC Metro Forum last night...  don't know how accurate the statement is,  I'm sure that they are busting butt to get it fixed... it would be our luck here in the SE to have something to track in a few days and only be able to interact with the website...  my eyes aren't good enough to see this forum on my iPhone  :lol:

The Pacific is in the driver's seat. Don't count on a negative nao this season at all.

I was afraid of that. Climo says I'm ALMOST ALWAYS on the rain/snow line. Just can't seem to keep the storms from cutting or shoving a warm nose up my throat the last few winters.

I really feel good about the pattern we're headed into by months end. I've already got my average snow for the year, hoping everyone that got screwed on the last event can cash in! February 2nd is the day I'm picking for the next storm. Purely a guess, maybe the groundhog will reel it in for us.

All this talk on the other thread about a "possible" winter pattern showing up soon. Unless a -NAO accompanies it I'll be looking at a cold rain through the window.

Location checks out...yep, the eastern half and SE Wake = sleetfest 9 out of 10 times.

Yeah, Tapatalk no longer works for me either.  Uninstall and reinstall made no difference.

I think the snow that Mt Rainier is currently getting would satisfy most for many years to come:

Today
Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Temperature falling to around 13 by 5pm. Wind chill values between -10 and zero. Windy, with a south southwest wind 43 to 47 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 37 to 43 inches possible.
Tonight
Snow before 10pm, then snow showers after 10pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 6. Wind chill values between -7 and -16. Breezy, with a southwest wind 24 to 28 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 19 to 25 inches possible.
Thursday
Snow showers. Temperature falling to around 4 by 5pm. Wind chill values between -12 and -17. Windy, with a southwest wind 26 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.

It would be nice to see, just one time, snow falling at rates that would result in 43" of accumulation in the daytime.  If you assume "daytime" to be 12 hours, you would get a snowfall rate of 3.5"/hour.  I guess that happened for an hour or so in the January 2000 storm, but it was late at night and I was asleep.

Haha that sounds about right.  By the way, this is the first season I've ever heard the word "taint".  What exactly does that mean?  I assume a mix of sleet and rain?

I think taint, is just a busted mix of anything but pure snow! Seen Pack use it and gets thrown around in MA, quite a bit

Well that answers my question. Was it disabled from AMWX end or?

I will stop assuming I messed it up then.

 

Thanks

AmWx end due to the posting of porn. First it seemed they disabled the uploading feature in tapatalk via AmWx because it didn't use bbcode. That's why my images weren't showing up for like 2 weeks. Then they just disabled tapatalk completely. Using the web based site for now

anyone have one of those old Rubbermaid snow sleds?  I bought one years ago at Fred's at Beech and its by far the best sled i've ever had, but now it has holes in the bottom and fills with ice and gets heavy and doesn't work well.  If you don't know what I'm talking about google "rubbermaid snow sled" and look at the images.  These things were stout and you could steer it and it worked well on all snow/ice surfaces.  It was thick.    Curious if anyone else has ever used one of these and also curious if anyone knows a good sled to buy off the internets.  I searched and a few people have them on ebay but they are local pickup in Northern locations.    I really don't like anything I buy in the stores now.

Looks like Walmart has them on their site.

Yeah,see that now. The Hydroslide might be a good board though. I was sponsored by them when I was water skiing. They were good boards back then.

thanks!  I'll check it out.  I'm really surprised no on makes a snow sled board like Rubbermaid used to make anymore.
