tazaroo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Leave it up to the good Ole GOOFUS to throw us a bone for March 1st with its 12z run. It shows a good CAD event. Without looking at soundings I would guess sleet for Central, Western NC transitioning to Freezing rain NW SC and NE Georgia. I want to beleive but realize it will have no support most likely and change in 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 He is doing it as his career now. Just like JB except he is concentrating only on Southeast. He mentions this in his announcement on the forum. You can read it and will understand I also don't think many people realize how bad it's been for him in this economy either. I'm not trying to get into his personal life but the guy is a hard worker who has not been able to make a job out of what he loves just due to this sh*tty economy. He's finally got that chance and he's got to run with it! I fully suspect he will still stop by here and give his opinion but will not got into as much detail. You can also keep track with him on his facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Work in Shelby is hard to come by, but he's there taking care of his parents, that's all I need to say. Robert has taken care of everyone here for a long time with his knowledge and expertise, now it's time for everyone to help support him. Remember, you can sign up and go month by month for only a very small fee, money you probably waste on who knows what anyway. Please support Robert and his new endeavor, it will be a win/win for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Who is that Justin? He runs his own weather service and issues his own watches/ warnings. He also has a long history of personal attacks from what I have heard. There was a thread about him in OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Back from the post-storm hangover, not much of p-type event here, plain jain cold rain, a little ip on the back-end with some <dime size tokens, maybe an hour, but they were fighting a loosing battle as the dendritic growth zone petered out around rdu. Worked on the new tiller today, gutted the rear end absent of the brass worm gears. New shafts, bearings, seals, shims, the whole 9. went out without a hitch expect for a wtf event on the tail end. Accidentally grabbed a half empty bottle of 10-30 amsoil of course, and mixed it in with the gear oil. Figure no big deal, back-end takes around 1.6 quarts, maybe 16-20 oz of the 30 weight, rest was the 75-140 severe gear. Probably going to flush it after I turn over the warm season and flower beds, engine dump too. Bought for 350, around 500 invested between the carb and parts for today. Tiller was in rough shape, but they sure don't make them like they used to. hard to find USA stuff anymore, back when we made such like tanks. old 8hp Tecumseh was purring tonight, valves just a little sticky but she is a cast iron beast! Not to much going on wx-wise, big time rn maker cutting through the oh valley kind of peetered out on the models. Long range screams spring, temps pushing 70, and mean storm track through the central plains. Period around the 27/28 is a little interesting, but I suspect it will trend warmer. After that who knows, March could always bring a surprise, although after the first week chances here drop off, western parts are still in the game though. Later...

Gastonwxman Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Possibly the best looking member out of all of the 18z GFS ensemble members. I haven't seen this kind of fantasy depicted since the 0z GFS's 384 New Year's image, and sadly that's all this is: Fantasy but wouldn't it be such a twist if this happened despite the horrible winter? Figured I post for the entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's only one member, you still have to wonder what it saw differently from the others and what would have to happen for it to verify. Where's Brick? From what I could see, it showed what looked like a cut-off right over the Carolinas with a strengthening surface coastal low. Didn't see the cut-off look on the other members so likely that's why it was the only one that has this but kinda fun to see such a solution spat out so it's definitely on an island.

Looks like what Foothills was talking about earlier in the season. If I recall, he was confident that a cut-off would deliver a big snowstorm to someone before this winter was over. If future runs pick up on this, and if other members get on board with the idea, we should name it "The Robert Storm". Will be interesting to watch this unfold.

You can also keep track with him on his facebook page. I know. I went and seen him a few weeks ago and his passion for weather is like no other. He has really had some hard times but never complains about it. His parents are getting older and they depend on him. Jobs are scarce and he has been looking for a while with nothing but dead ends. i told him he should do the website as his career. We all have a career that we must be good at to have a job. This is what he is good at and there is nobody on this forum that can't pay 9.95 month. We all waste that in a day eating out. FB and twitter are good but he can only say so much as the website won't grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
