tombo82685 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Post not about the forecast, just the imagery The stratospheric thread looks like we're getting some WOTY material for Rib. its not helping when likes of dt, larry cosgrove, and steve d keep saying major one occuring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 its not helping when likes of dt, larry cosgrove, and steve d keep saying major one occuring I really don't know enough about it to say it isn't. It just seems even if there is one, its still a couple of weeks away based on average lag. I suppose there is a geographical implication too as to where it forms but any block is better than no block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 now lets be honest, who shovels the snow in the office. I can see all you guys pushing it off to valerie....

I know someone commented and said you have a contractor to do it, but it must of happened once where someone shoveled. Since I have been here (going on 9 years) I am not aware of anyone at the office shoveling. We have a contractor that takes care of the parking lots and sidewalks. They are aware of our 24 hour/7 days a week operation and they do a good job getting the snow cleared. Two winters ago though, the heater on our satellite dish was not working correctly so the snow was piling up to the point it was blocking our signal. A staff member during a night shift was tasked to go out and remove the snow about once an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A staff member during a night shift was tasked to go out and remove the snow about once an hour. When I was at Millersville, one of the profs. told us how they used to get their data the same way (satellite dish). Every time there was a storm of more than 3 or 4 inches, they'd have to continuous clean the dish off. Internet FTW.

Everytime I went out with the broom, I did my Jack Nicholson imitation in "The Shining"........"Danny"........."Danny". I think I missed my calling in life, it was a real Hollywood moment.
