calculus1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Congrats to the rover engineers. That was a piece of flying!! Mind blowing what they can do. T Ditto! It's pretty amazing to have a computer pre-programmed to do all the right maneuvers necessary to land Curiosity on Mars when they work on a 14-minute delay due to the distance, yet the actual trip through the atmosphere only took seven minutes. Thus, by the time we learned of it entering the atmospheric descent, it had already been on the ground (or destroyed, if things had gone badly) for seven minutes. Mind-boggling, to say the least...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Another day of high pops, another day of no rain. 80% chance of rain today, but it probably should be more like 30-40% judging by the radar. Maybe the NWS thinks that rain will increase later today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I flew to Newport Beach today for work. Hanging out on Balboa Island, which is kinda neat.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 As if this summer from hell couldn't get any worse... I've been teased with thunder for the last hour but of course the storms missed me to the west by 10 miles and to the north by 5 miles. There looks like there is a good batch of rain moving through Alabama headed east but I'm willing to bet there's a 90% chance it will dissipate by the time it gets here.

calculus1 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Since we get a lot of the same type of posts complaining about rainfall IMBY during the summer months, I thought the following was appropriate. Oh, and just to join in with others on this board, "I've only gotten 0.75 inch of rain so far in August! (True) My house must be located in the driest place on the continent! (False)" (Just having a little fun here, people, no big worries!)

shaggy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hey calculus, That map is off just a touch well actually quite a bit imby. It has me in the 8-9 inch range but I had just over 12 in my rain guage for July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Even better then! But don't shoot the messenger: I'm just re-posting Brad's map. Yeah I had a stellar July in the rain department. Big time storms every 3-4 days was the norm. Makes me wonder how many other areas may be over or under on that map? So far this weeks been a bust with only a inch on Tuesday morning.

FoothillsNC Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I was doing outdoor work in the Lake Lure area of NC (mountains just east of Asheville) last week. It was a typical hot, humid day, the elevation was probably 1200 feet ASL...not that much higher than my home. Anyway a storm developed right on the slope of the mountain and came toward us, but we kept working. When the rain drops hit, they were extremely cold! I've never experienced rain drops so cold in Summer, or I must have forgotten how cold the drops are. Not sure how to explain the difference in droplet temperature, other than the fact that you're closer to the cloud base. It was pretty neat to experience. I never even think about the temp of rain drops at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx n of atl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Didn't the NWS state last Spring, the up-coming summer was going to be cooler? Didn't we just break all time heat records for the summer? Actually I think June was cooler and July had the record heat. What will August finish as? I guess normal.
