For Those About To Sweat ...We Salute You..Heat and Humidity


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

Steve, you didn't donate to Allen, you bought his service. Whoever says no ac wx is discounting weekend dews in the 60s...just saying.

i donated to Allan Jerry

I consider it buying a service as its different vs the donation drive last year. I won't be writing this years off.

I totally understand Allans need but let's look at it this way. When this place started many of us ponied up to help keep it afloat. He on his own developed a model sites that ran off of AMWX servers that we as a community purchased. He now has instant access to a devoted customer base. I guess if he wanted to run a Site that was pay per view I would not be running my mouth.

Stats like that are tough for SNE. Hurricane strikes can be clustered together like the 50s and 60s, and then 25+ years go by without a landfall.

 

Well we are certainly "due"...21 years now without a hurricane landfall in SNE. Doesn't mean it is any more likely to happen though.

 

The decadal trend for increased Atlantic activity is working in our favor though for at least another 10 years or so. We've dodged a lot of bullets in the past 15-20 years.

We certainly have. Matter of time.

Even so, it sure felt like W. MA and VT took a bullet from Irene.

Somehow I don't think that some <$10/mo subscriptions from a few weenies here are going to represent a major income.  It may be a challenge to just cover the costs.

 

IMO the word donate has been trashed by being used to purchase premium services all over the internet.  If you made a true donation then you don't get anything besides satisfaction in return.  If you are expecting some service provided, you made a purchase, not a donation.

 

It's much better to have a subscription with a clear cost, that way everything is on the table up front.

Re: Allen. I have a great deal of respect for what he's done for our community all these years. He has a right to make it pay his bills and take care of his family.

yeah Allen has that right. I have free access elsewhere and do not have the need to pay, I guess some do. I wish him the best.

I donated to Allan because he asked.

Where do you get Euro ens. for free?

on their website and other places. I am not alone in thinking all this. I just saw there is an OT topic on it. Apprently no mods knew about it. The times they are a changin. But if you look around you can find all model data free, just know where to look after 23 years of doing it.

For Jerry

Thank you for using my site over the years. I am putting this button up here as my current hardware may need replacing soon as it is aging and showing signs of wear and tear. If you have frequently used the site and would like to help out, please click the donate button and make a contribution for the hardware and for this meteorologists. I have created these scripts and graphics over time and would love to keep supporting and adding stuff to this page. Any bit helps and is appreciated and motivates me to add more stuff :)
