bobbutts Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Bandwidth - it takes up memory to keep that list live, so that's dumped when there are too many hits. I'll take the rare chance to correct you. Fewer database queries would be the reward for dumping the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Storm mode to save the server. To this I feel like this also segregates the forum. I see the usefullness and logic but if that the case allow only "redtags" post in that appointed thread. One for graphics, one scientific and an idiot thread. Then move comments discussion to Mods choice. As for the track and intensity WTFK's Even the best-of-the-best not dare go out and commit with such dynamics congealing. Figured, thanks and thanks TT. Also makes herd mentality more difficult with posters looking for the most-populated threads. GFS showing a wiper right so far through 66... Any thoughts on what looks like displaced centers?

Paweatherguy1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My god, the chat tonight is a mess. Every Mid-Atlantic poster is ready to jump off a bridge over this run. This is why I stay out of those threads when I want any sort of real information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The only answer I can think of is Sandy's penchant to stay tropical and the models depiction of transition. What a monster - nothing off the table. As modeled 0Z would be the worst possible scenerio for all of New England. Easily hurricane force miles inland. Mr Wood I think will marry the GFS first thing in the morning. On a personal note the last three days have felt like Christmas Morning. I would not be a weenie wanting the most catastrophic outcome. Then the realist kicks in and realize the upheaval of daily life. Concerned, scared and complete awestruck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My biggest fear now is that airlines, in order not to get planes stuck, will cancel flights well ahead of the storm. I'm taking a non stop from PHX-BOS Sunday morning. No way to leave earlier with committments at this meeting but I may have found a novel way to miss another storm...lol...

weathafella Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You'll get home fine. Good. Unfortunately I've been kiboshed for nothing before. Airlines don't like to take the chance they will have planes waylaid with an inability to use them on the rest of the route. Probably Sunday is ok though. GFS now out through 21. Hard to argue against the fairly rock steady Euro in this case. It's been saying more or less the same thing for days. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird http://www.weca.org/SET/ http://www.weca.org/SET/report/node6.html#SECTION00060000000000000000 HURRICANE SANDY Welcome to the 1997 American Radio Relay League Simulated Emergency Test (SET) in Westchester County, NY Hurricane Sandy is a fictitious hurricane based on a real one: the Hurricane of 1938. The following National Weather Service advisories and storm tracks are based on data from that storm and are being used as stimuli for an Amateur Radio emergency communications drill. They were produced at a training seminar at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildbs Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Anyone know what the impacts on Western Mass (Springfield area) would be? It seems that the storm is heading more towards our south? Will the impacts be minimal or should I start to prepare? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you are good for that flight because they could still get out of Bos Sunday night. I am scheduled to fly BOS to LaGuardia Monday. Booked the train as back up.

I was supposed to fly to Pensacola, FL Sunday afternoon and return Monday evening. I've bagged it with plans to do the meeting remotely. Now I may not be able to get to my own office if they shut the MTA down. Well, I suppose I could walk 55 blocks in the storm or cab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclue Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 3 natural disasters in 14 months for some...wow. It's incredible. Furthermore, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to relay the warnings about this storm to family who are in NYC. They look to me for advice as I have a BS in atmos sci from Albany, but it's hard to relay the complexities about this to them without overwhelming the average lay person. There's always that caveat that 4 days out is a long time and things can quickly change and it may not verify, however still instilling that sense of concern so they are prepared is difficult. I'm very concerned about storm surge based on the last several runs especially for LI/NYC. Just *CRAZY* if this verifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airlines are going to take a huge loss on this storm. They will probably stop bringing inbounds to airports sometime late afternoon/evening if the forecast verifies. The disruption to the airlines is going to be tremendous and will probably take some time, at least a week to recover. Delta's hubs at JFK, LGA Unoted's hubs at EWR, IAD USAirs hubs at PHL, DCA and Southwest's hub at BWI could be screwed up big time because of this. That's not even including places like BDL,PVS,BOS and other northeast airports. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Seems hard to believe the effects away from the coast, in SNE atleast, could be worse then the snowstorm last october.
