  1. For some reason I initially read "Big Stratwarm" as "Big Strawman"!! Maybe that's more appropriate!
  2. They look all ready and willing to "help" out however they can!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
  3. Haha!! That reminds me of an NHC forecast discussion for tropical storm Kirk some years ago (as it was dissipating) that said, "Kirk will not live long and prosper..."!!
  4. Only 71. What happened. Feel awful. Oh man that is sad news. Reminds me of last year, when Dick Goddard in Cleveland, OH passed away. He was the long-time meteorological icon in the area, well respected and very good. I grew up watching him on the news each day. I imagine Doug Hill was very similar for those around here as well.
  5. So in other words...none of his posts have been deleted?
  6. Ding, ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Yes, the obvious solution (in addition to paid time off and sick leave) would be paid HOLDAY leave for major holidays!!
  7. Totally agree as well! I thought it was bad years ago when an occasional store was open on Thanksgiving Day...and then as you say, more and more have been doing so since. I refuse to do any kind of shopping on Thanksgiving or Christmas. I do everything I can to have what I need (for baking, cooking, etc.) beforehand. And if I happen forget something (usually really minor anyhow), well then I figure that's too bad, I still won't go out and get it on the holiday itself.
  8. What is this "winter" you speak of? But seriously, yeah, coming out of hibernation now myself! Hope you are well, Millville!!
  9. I used a 100-400mm lens at 400mm with a 1.4x adapter on my Canon, so that gave an effective 560mm focal length. Didn't rotate it or anything, that's how it was visible with the naked eye as well. That lens is a beast...like 3.5 pounds...but it's awesome! And thank goodness for image stabilization!
  10. Hahaha! I was just thinking the same thing...that must be a record number of weenies received for a post. I chucked another one his way just to be sure!
  11. Very nice! Interesting how yours has a "rotated" perspective from mine. Another interesting thing I noticed is how there is a nearly straight line where the penumbral shadow ended (where it gets very bright white at the edge).
  12. Dragged myself out of bed a bit after 4AM for the partial lunar eclipse. A little later than I cared to, as the peak occurred a little before this photo I took. But still worked out!
  13. -----(to infinity)PNA!!!!! (just to upstage CAPE there, hahaha!!). But could that actually work if we also have a -----(infinity)NAO??? The mind wonders!!
  14. But you know there's a good chance the December thread could turn into...
  15. I read that the WTF index is very unfavorable, too.
  16. Cool, thanks for the info!! Unfortunately it's at the peak around 4AM, but I might try to drag myself out of bed to check it out anyhow. Hopefully will be cleared out mostly by then. I read that it's not "total", but still like 97%.
  17. Don't forget the -PNA!!! That plays a role too!
  18. Hello, Mrs. J!! Damn that looks good!! I'm getting hungry again and it's 10:30PM as I look at this hahaha! Is that a bad thing? How are you? Hope all is well...
