mackerel_sky Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 What is it showing for the upcoming winter? Let me check with my The Weather Channel cloud chart, and I will get back to you! Yeah, I got the original one from late 80s or early 90s, and it's awesome, everyone jealous!??

DaculaWeather Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Steve, I just got done reading your blog post, and you have a fantastic setup there. I wish I had the technical know-how and monetary freedom to do something similar. I think I'm probably going to have to wait until the kids grow up and move through college, before I can do something at this level. For some reason, my wife doesn't have the same priorities that I do... Thanks! That computer was about $400 including Win7 Professional, which was about $140 by itself. I'm getting ready to build a Media Server using this box. It's an Intel NUC. It supports Ultra High-Def video also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Unit_of_Computing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means almost non-stop winter from Nov-Feb, just like the Old Farmers Almanac said, we got Bastardi on board , we are batting a thousand! I think this winter will be epic for some in the SE and we will be telling our grand kids about!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^ I'm guessing that the verification of the forecast is tied to the high country area. The article doesn't really say, unless I missed it. It would be cool if it turns out to be right. On another note, I'll be up in West Jeff sometime in October. Can't wait! I love that area. I've got my eye on a nice track of land up there. It's just under $1.21 mil, which puts me only about $1.2 mil short. Another 250 years and it's mine!!

You just haven't found the right interest rate, my friend. Your $10K can grow to $1.21M in only 10 years if you can find a 61.54% interest rate somewhere. Just shop around a little. I know a friend, who knows a friend, who has a cousin, that says he can make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, I just got an email from a guy overseas who's brother was wrongly imprisoned. He needs me to cash a check for him so he can post bail, and get this: he's writing the check for more than he needs and I get to keep the difference for my troubles. I can help someone out AND pick up a little loose change in the process. On my way to that $1.2 mil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxjunkie Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 RG3 is out for the year it looks like, but at least my Skins showed up today. Nice to see the Giants get beat, too bad the Cowturds showed up and won today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I recently built a new weather computer using a Mini-ITX format box and I absolutely love it. I did a blog post about it a couple of months ago. http://northgeorgiaweather.weebly.com/weather-blog/time-for-weather-equipment-upgrades-060614 Basically, it's a dual Atom motherboard with 4GB of RAM running Win7 professional. It uses a 64GB solid state hard drive for storage. I use to use two computers to do all my weather stuff, and combined, the whole setup pulled about 150-180 watts of power. With this one computer doing all the work, my power consumption has dwindled to 12-13 watts. The computer is totally silent and for all practical purposes has no moving parts. There are two very small fans that spin when the computer begins to boot, but they don't run after that, it's all passive cooling. I have GR3, three HD weather cameras constantly running, plus Cumulus, and the programs that upload the weather cam images on my desktop PC solely for my weather stuff. This would be a great option and something I need to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 With everything I'm running, it runs about 30-40% utilization. That includes two instances of Sebectec IP cam software, VWS, WD, WXMesg Server and EMWIN receiver, Virtual VP, Startwatch, VWSAprs, and Fling that uploads to two websites. It also does a Cron job from the Task Scheduler too. I use to upload 4 different GRL3 sites with probably 8 different products, but it got to be a pain. Since Mike has no interest in auto-starting the publish feature in GRL3, and I've gotten tired of fixing scripts to automate that process, I quit doing it.

Weren't there 8 more beans for smaller snows also? It's going to be a busy, busy winter! Packbacker and GaWx are going to have a lot of long nights reporting the Euro!

Packbacker and GaWx are going to have a lot of long nights reporting the Euro! CR, as of the result of the threat of a very severe winter, have you heard about the Congressional proposal to make us fall back three hours instead of just one when the time is changed so that the 0z Euro release will finish just before midnight this winter? If that is for real and not made up, I for one will be thrilled and I bet Pack will also be very pleased. The heck with my late day walks. Furthermore, I always have my IPhone flashlight to guide me.
