johnc Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Is anything going to be done about this piece of chit? Would a letter-writing campaign to our House Reps or something get some money funneled this way for a replacement? It seems like for years now this thing is offline for one reason or the other. Is it just a factor of old age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just a factor of old age? I have an article going up online tonight about this. Disgraceful the radar was down during the brunt of the storm. It's not Mount Holly's fault but the damn thing is a piece of crap. The last thing the NWS needs at this point is a cut in funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I say you put mike in a tree with a mini radar gun to measure velocity, no hat to gauge how sunny it is, and an anemometer to measure winds!! Just some ideas :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Suggestion for Mount Holly -- you can raise money for a new radar by taking down the old one and by asking for money at the Open House to take one swipe at the radar with a sledge hammer. $60 per hit, $100 per two. You'd have every weenie lined up from the NWS out to the turnpike interchange waiting to take a swipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
