Brick Tamland Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 And congrats to my high school alma mater, the Southern Durham Spartans, for winning the NC 3AA football state title! They were down 21 - 0, came back in the second half, and the 4th quarter was back and forth like crazy. Ended up winning 38 - 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yeah, that was a old guy line. All the young folks would have to Google it. Don't they teach TVA in school? Or is that the part of the 20th century no history teacher ever gets to before years end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Don't they teach TVA in school? Or is that the part of the 20th century no history teacher ever gets to before years end? If I remember correctly, their seems to be a wall around the time if the industrial revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 A lot of members over the years have heard us from the RDU area talk about Greg Fishel, our local TV met. Anyway, below is a tweet from him tonight which I thought was cool... Greg Fishel @gbfishel1h For weather enthusiasts out there, I would highly suggest checking out http://www.americanwx.com/models/index.html…. A lot of great stuff including PV x-sections! I have told him about amwx several times. I spoke with Nate Johnson the other day about it as well. It would be nice to see them post on here occasionally. I kind of doubt it'll happen though.

oconeexman Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 This is from Weatherkid#27 On the sports forum: Hey guys! The time of year for college bowl games has arrived and I hope you're ready to pick them! I'll just save time and post the instructions I used in the thread last year. We had about 10 participants last year, but hopefully we'll have more this time around! Basically all you have to do is pick the winners of all 35 bowl games and rank them in order of how confident you are in each. For Example: Say Florida State is playing Tulane. I'm absolutely positive that FSU will beat Tulane. So I would put that game as my 35 point pick. If I get that pick correct, I get 35 points. If I miss it, then I would lose 35 points. Instructions Go to the link below and "Create Your Entry" Please name your entry according to your username here on American Weather. http://games.espn.go...-mania/2013/en/ Once you have created your entry, go under the "My Groups" tab and select "Create or Join a Group." Group Name: Americanwx Password: Snow Search for our group and join in using the info above. If you have any questions or can't find anything just ask me. Your picks must be in by Saturday, December 21st at 2:00 PM Eastern Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What level of crazy are we talking about? Are those the same birds you were talking about last year? Guess the skies aren't well enough for them to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Are those the same birds you were talking about last year? Guess the skies aren't well enough for them to fly.I knew it!

JoshM Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Loving my temp right now LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Got the water pump unbolted and hoses loose, but the temp was falling and I was freezing doing it. 39 when I called it quits. So much for a warm Dec so far. Plus when the upper low lifted out I got .4 of bonus rain last night, and I'm up to 1.2 on the day. Keep this up until April, and I like my chances at timing. Is Brickbot up for Weenie King too? I'd love to see that battle of the titans...the Big Weenie SlapDown, lol! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxJordan Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks everyone for your kind words! I am looking forward to the job hunt, which will be very difficult. However, I am excited about what the future holds. Thanks again, and I look forward to posting good expert discussions about upcoming patterns, storms, and much more. Hopefully I will get a "first call" map at some point in the near future, because I am ready for wintry weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Anyone remember December 1983? Notice the freezing line. Oh yes! I was in Savannah and we had a high on 12/25/1983 of only 27! At the time, it was the coldest high since 1917 for any date! Interestingly though, this was matched on 1/21/1985 and it was 5 degrees colder for the high on 12/23/1989 during the great SE coastal snowstorm for the 2nd coldest high on record for any date. The low on 12/26/1983 was a frigid 9, which tied the coldest low for any Dec. date. At KATL, it was at or below 29 for three straight days 12/24-6 and then again on 12/30! They went down to 0 on 12/25, the coldest Dec. low on record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
