ROOSTA

Fellow wx freaks. Be thankful you don't live in Floridah. Virus is totally in control, the narrative coming from the politians doesn't fit what's actually occurring. I moved trying to distance myself. Nearest neighbor is over a thousand feet away. Surrounded self by 10 acres. Room to spread out, eventually a self sustainable off the grid farm. Two barns, 2500 sq/ft. of house. A ton of work. LOL Into full summer here Temp 95F daily, dews mid upper 70's. Soon I'll get my instruments up and working just in time for hurricane season.

Have always loved the real-time obs. Living vicariously!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! "Baruch atah adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam, shehecheyanu, v'kiyimanu, v'higiyanu lazman hazeh."

Lets hear it for MET Winter. Right on que a storm. Expectation should be dictated by climo, this looking from afar. Personally I have no dog in the fight anymore which means my bias is gone. Good-luck to those who get the goods!

Oh the irony. Probably my old stomping grounds are going to get higher impacts than being only 100mi from the center down here. Fickle are these BEASTS. My thermometer is reading 98F.

On a lighter note. Sure hope it doesn't offend anyone....D'OH Experienced the most beautiful sunset this evening. It was GOLD, no red hue what-so-ever. To the E darker than midnight, light rain falling. Perfect sun angle....

Have no idea. It's unlike him to go this long with-out some kind of outside contact. Last posting in the Dorian thread stated his last known location was searched. Still MIA

It's been years Paul...my bad all around... I done did defend a faux member, no matter. Nobody should be called-out like that or what transpired. Power is coming and going. It's fragile to begin with being in the forest. Been through worse in a good N'oreaster.

Sorry for the OT. Rumbling incoming. This feeder band means business. St. John River 3 miles to my E is already out of its banks. Low tide as high if not higher than High Tide. Coastal flooding with a fetch this big, huge!

I just got my first "slap" ever in Dorian thread. Elinor, not that she needs defending was disparaged big time. I was just wanting to set the record. What has become of the forum? Kind of pissed me off...no matter... Anyway, it's a beautiful day here in between the feeder bands that have now descended upon my area. Each one more intense then the previous. One is about to spin through in a few minutes. It ain't over in fact only just begun. Feeling grateful for what could have been to now what I think will be.

Seriously. Think about taking a late cruise deal, probably 1/2 the price of flying. Out of harms way, maybe a little rough but cruise right around it.

HWRF A hurricane model? 18z has a ~915mb. PLEASE make it STOP. Tomorrow is a big model day, to say the least. I'm loaded for BEAR, propane topped-off, Generac ready to crank. My Davis took a "hit" a few week back. Td and wind speed not recording, thinking it took a lightning strike. Back-up is a TWI-8000. Ah I've been wanting to seat for months now. No strength, still in a-fib. Recovery has been to slow for my liking. Figures that a possible storm of a lifetime and just my luck. Made arrangements today with my neighbor to get it installed Saturday. I'd prefer not to hear the whistle of the wind. You get up about 85-90mph the pitch and roar increases, the crackling of tree limbs snapping followed by a dull thud only to find out it missed 30ft and fell away from the house. You get into D4 without then you never want to experience again. As depicted now regardless of exact landfall the forest is going to lose many a tree thus extending the isolation. Probably more than a week!

Homegrown graphics:

That is a possibility. I know a guy who cleared the land of trees. He has a bucket and if the price is right. He's probably balls-to-wall with pending incoming. I'll repost my whoa in the SE thread...fingers crossed.

Timing couldn't be more perfect. My Davis went on the fritz a few weeks back. Can only attribute to a possible lightning strike. Figures I've been smack-dab ground zero for repeated runs, always thought that was the place to be five days out...shall see... I have a back-up (TX Weather, the 8000 model) and been wanting to seat for a few months now. Health issues have prevented me from getting on the roof disassembling old, attaching the new. Mostly it's the retraction of a telescoping antenna 40ft to the top and getting the guy-wire secured. Possible storm of a lifetime, the good Lord will not allow this to happen! I'm loaded for BEAR. Structure will withstand 150mph+, provision wise must go get some Fillet-Mignon. Generac is locked and loaded (100GA of propane) good for a week. Lost electric Mathew for a week, never again...

Living in the Heights in Arlington the amounts I reported where always suspect especially in Spring. Admittedly never used a board or the 6hr. spotter (correct) training technique. A 1/2 dozen random measurements away from drifts. Wanting to contribute giving a more accurate spread to the NWS. Washington St where the house was, was atop a 300ft hill, visually noticeable from top to bottom surrounds. The only person to question the accuracy was myself.

James of course.

Thinking some had very high expectations, thus the critique. I regret posting the HRRR snow map from this morning. Was just trying to keep those expectation in check, that and showing amounts cut in 1/2. Whoa is me. Oh and I don't like those preliminary snow totals simply because there are to many gaps and are far from accurate as is every snow accumulation map. BLIZZARD conditions met in several locals. Bigger snow (fal)l storms with B Warnings issued had less on numerous occasions.

Big hiccup or belch. THIS Maybe it's my computer....wrong date...Don't look. Carry on with your regular broadcast.

DO NOT LOOK AT THE HRRR. Save the anguish just look out the window. Be happy with what you get!

Congrats on the issuance of Blizzard Warning for Weymouth.

Would love to fly back home and just might. Seriously considering, a once in 500 year storm ((well the frequency of these spoiling events) once in 50 years)) LOL. Don't want to be left out with just a passing shower. Absolute wood from afar. It gon snow just a wee bit.

May I suggest posting present maps of UA, radar, sat...for future reference. Never to early especially at this time-frame with kick-off >24hrs. The nowcast thread will be insane, my connection throughout vicariously.
