metalicwx366 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well, this is my first post from my brand new *gasp* iPhone. Thank you, work! Holy crap. Cold rain got the upgrade. Oh Snap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I watched the sea breeze front work its way inland, only to collide with the outflow boundary from the dying storms not a couple miles from my house....ugh. The front will probably stall out to my north tomorrow and that little impulse will spark off storms a county away.......sigh First batch missed me, but a pop up storm behind the main line gave me a quick .51". First rain this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think the local forecasters are really overhyping the chance of storms lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replaced my Blackberry with an iPhone. It's supposed to be locked down, but it's not...at least not yet anyway. For the wife, I'm trying to decide whether to get the iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy. It's hard to know what the best choice is. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? I have the new note and the wife is diehard iphone fan. The iphone does appear to be easier to use (more intuitive). The Galaxy will do more of high tech things ( Radarscope has better graphics). She piggybacks my droid when she needs things like remote wifi for the ipad.

Any ideas? My wife had an iPhone and then got the Galaxy S4. She likes it better than the iPhone. I get to have her hand-me-down when we are able to upgrade later this month and she is getting the S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks for the input, fellas. We bought an iPad last year, so the iPhone is kind of intuitive for me. I've know people with both the iPhone and the Galaxy and the thoughts pretty much echo what you guys have said. Unfortunately for Grit, I still have to use my laptop for the little critter maps.

That's a hard one to only watch twice a year ( thanksgiving and Christmas), so a third viewing is in order!Maybe the classic Home Alone, got a 7 year old to start a tradition with!

Die Hard, Home Alone 2, Christmas Vacation, The Ref, and Santa Claus are usually the ones we watch in July. After Thanksgiving, we add The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott), Home Alone, Jingle All The Way, Love Actually (wife's pick....but it actually is a really good movie -- just don't tell anyone I said that), and a couple of others.

Yep, it was our coldest month on record here in NC. Charlotte had a monthly average mean of 30 degrees. For those of us old enough to remember, it was a brutal month. I wouldn't mind seeing it again before I die. For some perspective, go to Youtube and check out what happened in Buffalo NY that month. The entire eastern US was gripped under severe cold.

KChuck Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 No thanks! I was in NE Pa at the time, just married that August. Seems I recall something like two weeks straight where the low was below zero and high ten at best. Our septic line FROZE! Lovely! They were trying to dig out a water main for a new development on ~2000 foot mountain above Scranton and frost was found fourteen feet deep...normal max frost level usually around six feet, that's where puppies were usually buried. More than enough for me to not want to endure that again!!! Edit: http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KAVP/1977/1/11/MonthlyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA Maybe not two weeks straight but septic line did freeze and frost was at fourteen feet on the mountain.

Solak Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's interesting listening to the weather forecasts (accuweather) a local radio station (WPTF) plays on weekends. Earlier today they were calling for variable cloudiness with showers and storms today. 2 hours later, they revised that to read sunny and 85, but for Wednesday, they just said "Partly cloudy, hot and humid, high near 100"! I think the saturday crew is just pulling random tapes or discs or whatever radio uses nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD_Wedge_NC Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Not coincidentally, that was a weak Nino winter. Are you ready to declare an Enso forecast? Sounds like you're hinting at a weak El-Nino. I have been casually glancing at the mega thread over on the main forum and I agree that a strong event may be off the table now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's easy to be a forecaster for NWS Jacksonville. This is actually annoying seeing this for 2 months now. Occasionally there will be a 60 or 70%. Sent from my N9810 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 They need to take the rain and sun icons out of my forecast and just use a big cactus icon! That would have worked the entire spring and start to summer and looks to continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
