weatherfide Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I want to go on record and say this is the WORST winter I've ever endured in Atlanta. And nothing that happens in the next month will change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I fell like this is the typical winter we had in the 90s. Man, that decade sucked for the most part as far as snow goes around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, but the very thing that brings you dispair, brings me hope. We had several great snowstorms in the midst of a horrible decade for winter weather lovers.

We had several great snowstorms in the midst of a horrible decade for winter weather lovers. I do remember a few ice storms in the 90s. Actually, the last decade was better for overall snow here, but it also had some years where it was all or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I want to go on record and say this is the WORST winter I've ever endured in Atlanta. And nothing that happens in the next month will change that. This is definitely the worst winter i've ever experienced. Even worse than those warm winters in the mid 2000's. We're going to have to be 10 degrees below normal in February just to break even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Looks like it's working now. They turn red if the last update is more than 10 minutes old. You'll see certain stations red more than others and it's usually because their software crashed or locked up. I use StartWatch to manage the loading and monitoring of applications and if anything blows up, StartWatch will force the app closed (if possible) and attempt to reload it. If all else fails it will restart the computer. Not only that, but I do an automatic restart every morning at 5am just in case. If seems that some weather apps are more susceptible to memory leaks that will eventually eat up all of your computer memory and cause a crash. In StartWatch you can assign memory limits to the apps and if reached, StartWatch will shut it down and restart it. Very slick application Still not working from here. Mine stays green. All the other links work when I click on them to view the stations. When I click on my station I get: Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.wundergro...sp In the search box the link actually says www.wundergro sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Given the "winter" we've had so far, I'm confused about what the groundhog will be prognosticating on February 2nd. Apparently, the choices are: (1) If he sees his shadow, we'll have six more weeks of spring-like weather; or (2) If he doesn't see his shadow, spring will be imminent.

Actually the groundhog has been awake for several weeks. His sleep was interrupted by a bad case of heat rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It looks like I will be headed to Ohio this weekend and for my arrival I get to expect freezing rain and sleet. Then it warms up enough to provide some thunderstorms on Monday, but the return trip on Wednesday should be nice and sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Everyone seems to think the weather pattern's going to change to something good. Haha, everytime it comes up it's 240hrs+ out and another 10 days. We should have had a pattern change a month ago at that rate. Winter = canceled.

POWERSTROKE Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I feel pretty good about feb and march. Only time will tell. This year I increased our fleet adding another truck, plow and salter. Also have increased our clients. One of the largest snow contractor in the Piedmont and soon be one of the largest in the state. I made the comment a while back that it probably won't snow a bit this year since I increased in several areas. Always next winter!!! I think we will get some action in Feb and March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's bad when Goofy can't even conjure up a decent fantasy storm All the way out, at the way, way out, it has two pitiful batches of light maybe snow, but the 0 line can't even make it into Fla. A decent fantasy storm has the 0 line in Miami, and 3 feet of snow in south Ga., lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQPublic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Are 1985 and 2012 good analogs? It's a complete noob question. The only reason I ask is because the spring before these winters had big tornado outbreaks...and in the winter 1985 there was a huge arctic outbreak in the Carolinas. I don't have a ton of knowledge around gathering data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ohhhhhh, ok, I'll get that fixed right now. Still not working but maybe it's something on my end although I can click on any of the other links and they work fine. If someone else would go to Dacula's page and click the link for Archdale, NC(jburns1) we could find out if it's just me. http://www.daculaweather.com/wu_metar.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
