Been down that road before. John does all of that stuff. We’ve been on him before about that. I think when he finds the time he thinks he can sneak the update in without any major downtime and sometimes something goes awry. How long was it even down for? When I checked in between 530-6 the forum was up.
I had no idea it was being done. Usually he tries to do these minor updates overnight when traffic is low. We were on IPB 4.4.7 I believe and admins had been getting the reminder to update to 4.4.8. When I logged into ACO this morning I saw the alert was gone and we were up to date.
I wish they plotted it too (hate leaving one month out), but...
December is not a leading mode of variability for the NPO so they just omit it with -99.90.

Euro has a nice little axis of 0.10-0.20" cutting up through here from E MA to PF from the IVT. Maybe we can pull off an inch or so tomorrow. Most models have the low level convergence zone in the same general axis, but we know how much of a crapshoot these things are.
Let's just drop it bud. We make mistakes, live, learn, and become better people. I don't want to go down this road. I really just want to read more NPO posts.
One last comment on this. I have no idea what the reputation and socioeconomic background of Methuen is. My Franklin comments had nothing to do with Methuen. I'm sorry if you made that connection. I wouldn't want to live anywhere in MA...it's not an exclusive Methuen thing.
Although I do live dangerously close to Franklin. If I was on the other side of the river it'd be a pick'em between here and there. The heroin and meth addicts would fall into the river and float to CON or Mark in Webstah before they can ever make it here.
