Teru Teru Bozu Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah, another hit on the NE would be pretty scary. I'm starting to get a little worried about the NC coast too. For the most part I think that the locals down here know what's up, but we haven't had a really bad storm in a while (Isabel in 2003 was pretty bad on but the storms in the late '90s were worse). If you have a lull for a decade or so, people can get complacent. Also, parts of the Outer Banks (especially north of Nags Head/Kitty Hawk) have an obscene amount of development now that wasn't there or wasn't as dense 10 or 15 years ago. If we have a bad string of storms like Florida did in the mid-2000s...I just hope everyone knows what they need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teru Teru Bozu Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hurricane season sucked big time, even if we got hit with the majority of those storms the damage would have been minimal. Most the storms were hardly worthy of getting a name. Well, all you need is a Cat 1/TS stalling for a few days and you have a full-fledged disaster on your hands. Just ask Houston folks about Allison... But yeah, last season's storms were not all that impressive, save Sandy which was a really special case. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulated_cyclone_energy'>accumulated cyclone energy for the whole season was 133, which is above average but not even close to 2005's record of 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Do you cook with those? Is there another plant that can be mistaken for a ramp and be harmful? Just checking in case I get a wild hair to hunt for some. Lily of the valley is very similar and a lot more prolific. They taste horrible so you will be able to tell pretty quickly. Ramps also stink to high heavens so that further differentiates them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 About to go negative tilt on a five guys burger! Cold rain where you at? Nice! Awesome burgers there. Just don't get the order of "small fries" unless you have 5 or 6 buddies along to help you eat them. I just went strong to the rack with a Zaxby's chicken finger plate. That's good stuff right there.

They have one here in Davidson (Char Grill), but the place, the burger, it just wasn't the same as what I remember from the Hillsborough Street venue.

Yeah, it would be really hard to duplicate the Hillsborough scene anywhere else. I work in downtown and drive by the Char Grill once a week on my way to Arby's. I didn't know Char Grills were in places other than Raleigh. That's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have never said anything to do more than make me laugh I just mentioned you to mess with you. Sorry, I should have done it in banter. I just got to writing and fell in love with my cool self, lol. I'll try not to let it happen again I'll let you know if you need to apologize for anything, but this ain't it, lol!

I guess my attempt to be the next man versus food failed. A three pound burger? I would never do well with the man vs food thing. I think I could muscle down a one pounder, but anything more than that, I'd be in bad shape! I had a cousin take the 72 oz steak challenge at a steak restaurant at Myrtle Beach once. You had to eat the steak, a side salad, a baked potato, and a roll all within one hour and it was free. Otherwise, you had to pay like $35 bucks or something (which isn't bad for a 5 lb steak, if you ask me). He got about 90% of it down. I didn't see him at all the next day. I believe the food won that round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freezing line on the 18z GFS was initialized further N than current freezing line. This could have a big impact on precip type. That storm showed up again on the 18z GFS. I read a report that the RAOB station in Nome, AK was out of order due to elk damage. Taking that into account, this should trend colder and stronger with time. I'd go ahead and lock this one up. I'm all in. It's going to be epic. NOPE, I'm not worried about 50F surface temperatures at all. It's gonna snow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 ^^ There's a big High moving toward the North Pole from Russia -- a perfect position to deliver the cold during the storm -- so we should be good, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 That's the one, or the one after I think will bring flurries to Waycross. There is already a gator alert out. That cold air is much colder than modeled, and the ridge further west and much more pronounced. At least that's the way it looked when I slammed my head with the torque wrench working under the van earlier. I think of it as a vision, lol.

Honestly, the only question at this point is amounts. I'm thinking 8-12" right now as a conservative estimate at this time frame. I will revise upward as we move closer to verification date.
