buckeyefan1 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 This guy is pretty good. He covers a lot of popular bands,some going back to the 70's and 80's, and actually does better than some of the drummers from those bands, imo. Yes he is One of my favorites The winter of 2011-2012 at Beech Mountain: skiMARGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Not sure....Used to have a droid, but the iphone smokes the droid! Even when my droid was in top working order. Mine and my sisters droids both started freezing on the screen and then got to where you could not send text messages....and I'm not that phone savy, but I figured out most everything myself when I switched.....Got the iphone4s.....Love it!!! I've had my droid for 6 months or more and have had no problems (so far) I like it! But where I live the carrier (only one with reception) don't sell iphone's. Verizon and At&t want work here in my little community. lol, or I would have an iphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaffneyPeach Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I know how to bring winter. I'ma go out and plant a tomato. That should do it. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Here's a front news headline from our paper back in January 1960. We had record high of 75 then. I can't help but notice the story on the right (tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma). Maybe we'll luck up later on in the winter weather department. Just like what happened then. That's why this belongs in banter. I'll take 30" and call it a decent Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 has west/ central NC ever had a flakeless winter? for me, the winter of 06-07, or 07-08 was nearly snowless. I would have to look at my records. I think we had 10 minutes of flurries in mid February , that was it. Its the closest to a shutout I can remember here.

Your family have any? please share. Not that I know of, But I do remember my uncle saying snow was up to the window! Of coure he could have had a low window in the house. lol I also remember him telling me (He was a weather geek also) He went to bed at midnight stars out got up next morning and had a big snow unexpected, Of course they didn't have the news outlets and the GooFuS we have now to warn them of incoming weather (i don't know if he even had a TV back then). I will ask the family and see if anybody has any pics from then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You know you've gotten older when you miss commercials like these. Remember those Pizza Hut Pizza Head Show segments that came on TV every now and then? I think I was only around 6 years old when they aired but seem to remember them showing it again for a brief period of time a few years later after 1997. Stuff like this when I was little are things I'll never forget in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Here is a pic of the sunset at a beach at Hilton Head from yesterday, Saturday 1/7/12. It was a slightly nippy 60ish with a steady breeze. I did my exercise walk there today...hard to beat. It was a great day for a walk on the beach. Yes, as Tony may guess, the obligatory ice cream (chocolate with caramel and cashews from yummy Kilwin's) was my reward for doing my obligatory exercise as it followed this walk about an hour later. Ahhhh, what a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well, I have now lost hope for snow in the Charlotte area. I no longer foresee favorable conditions for winter precip. Past runs of GFS an CMC have trended the AO and NAO positive and PNA to negative. The euro weeklies look horrible if you want any kind of winter precip. We were spoiled in the last 3 years in Charlotte, now it's time to even the playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Larry,while I admire, yes admire, your zen like acceptance of the present winter patterns, I hope you understand the added shock this is having on those very near the edge...who are mentally vulnerable? Though I have to say your wielding of the traditional ice cream taunt, is impecible, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon and At&t want work here in my little community. lol, or I would have an iphone. i know a guy that has 11 verizon stores. He sells both but he said droid far superior over iphone. If you look at reviews you will see most agree with him. Especially those that had droid first and then went to iphone. The new droids he says are definitely better than new smart phone. My wife has he newest Iphone and sister n law has new droid.. I don't know which is better as I have an old blackberry. I do know droid seems to have better reception?

Had we gotten the big snows everyone to our north south east and west recieved then sure. I want MBY to be the winner. Just me being a weenie. Either way anytime you say "winter cancel" you're likely to eat your words. I'll bet we're both hoping you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Droid for a year and a half, horrible phone. As a previous poster said it froze up all the time, apps crashed, quirky as all get out. I wasn't planning on a new phone for a few more months but I finally just bit the bullet, upgraded to the iPhone4S, much better device all around. I know in OT there's a topic about rooting the Droid and installing a new OS, meh, probably works, but I want a phone that works without having to do all that and the iPhone seems to do just that.

kennedy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well guys, Tomorrow I am having my beloved Newfie put down and I am a basket case.
