mackerel_sky Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 TMI Brick! On a happy note, I have only cut my half Bermuda / half weed lawn 3 times this season! The winter hit it kind of hard and it was slow to get going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Our league is still going on (4 games to go) because of rain-out make-ups. There was one shower that moved across Wake Co. last night, and of course, the timing was perfect and rained out the game. Not one drop fell at my house, mind you. Anyway, we're still perfect on the season. 0-12...or something like that. Nice! We started 2-0 then lost 12 games in a row before going 6-0 the final 3 weeks of the season (we played doubleheaders every week) and 3-2 in the playoffs. We did have quite a few rainouts, but since everyone else did they just shortened the season. Otherwise, we'd be playing til July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winter hit it kind of hard and it was slow to get going! Yeah, it's warm enough now that if it doesn't rain I can go a couple of weeks without mowing the lawn, which is always a plus.

buckeyefan1 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 What did you think of the newly renovated bulls park? It looked great! We walked around the whole park, checking out the views. We are definitely going back when we have time to check out the shops that surround the ballpark btw...the cooling tent came in handy. It was just a tad bit warm and muggy after it rained. Sitting in right field watching the sun set in front of us, without a breeze, made for a brutal first part of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a mathematical chance to finish the season 4-0. The actual chance to win at least one game would be in the 5% neighborhood...about the same as Mackrel and Metallica getting any thunderstorms this summer. Thankfully, at least we don't have to be in the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best thing about Durham, but there's not much really to compete with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherwx Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The Performing Arts Center is pretty grand as well. Yeah, don't trash my city until you've actually tried it. It's bad enough going to school in Hillsborough where everyone thinks there's as much crime in Durham as there is in one of Baltimore's ghettos.

sparklecity Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Looks like another dud from this severe threat. We have a chance of storms all week so hopefully we get something. It's been 8 days since the last rain and it really wouldn't surprise me if we get missed again. This summer looks like its setting up to be a hot and dry one.

jburns Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If Al Roker called it a derecho, then it was a derecho! I bet Abrams seconded that motion! I just didn't see anything that meets the criteria. I've been wrong before though. 1) There must be a concentrated area of convectively induced wind damage/gusts greater than 50 knots, or 60 miles per hour. 2) The area must have a major axis length of 400 kilometers, or 248.5 miles. 3) Wind reports should show a continuous and nonrandom pattern of occurrence. For instance, a swath of storms should consistently produce wind reports as the system moves to the east or southeast. 4) In the storm reported areas, at least three reports, separated by 64 km or more, should include wind gusts greater than 64 knots, or 74 mph. 5) Derechos are typically continuous and can sustain itself for hours. With that said, no more than three hours can elapse between successive wind damage events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
