calculus1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Crazy how the severe weather thread is dead right now even with a tornado/severe outbreak going on. I bet the thread explodes tomorrow when a tornado warning is issued for a rural area in NC tomorrow. There's nothing stopping you from breathing life into that thread right now. Hit us up with some good posts in the severe thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was more folks from those areas that posted. But it seems we get a lot more people here overall during the threat of winter storms than we do for severe storms and tornadoes.

Cold Rain Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have a random wedge /ice storm question? I remember some ice storms in the late 80s early 90s , where we had rain a half a day or longer, then the rain turned to sleet/fr rain in the afternoon, I assume , after the cold air finally bled down. Do y'all think the more damage occurs if it starts out as ice , in regards to tree damage/ uprooting , in particular? Does the start as rain loosen the soil, or does it no have an effect? And what would be the set up to cause alot of rain and then change to ice? I haven't seen that occur in awhile, it's been all or nothing! Mack, I think more damage would be done if it starts out as ice, simply due to the fact that more precip would accumulate on objects. If the ground is very wet, then I suppose it would make it easier for trees to fall, but generally, I'd think you need to have more than just a little bit of rain at the onset of an ice storm to sufficiently saturate the ground. I remember back in the 80s many times precipitation would start as either rain or zr/sleet and then turn from rain to ice or ice to snow during the event. It seems like a lot of events we've had have gone the other way since that period. We start out as snow or ice and then go to ice or rain. The big Jan 2000 storm started as rain but then quickly changed to sleet and then snow. That was a notable exception to the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention AL, but it seems most of their folks stay on another board. I know it seems like most folks that post here are from NC. Would be nice if we had more active posters from those other states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's because snow storms don;t happen as often as severe storms here. The funny thing is I like to follow severe weather wherever it happens, bit I only care about winter storms if it has a chance to happen in my backyard. I know we have a lot of people that just lurk, too. They need to sign up and start posting. Maybe we will get more folks from other states then.

NC tends to get more threats during the winter. Most on here are winter weather enthusiast. We all like severe storms but it can't compare to a winter storm. Even the other posters (from other states) tend to be from the coldest regions of the state(N. Ga, upstate SC, through the piedmont of NC). **Also there's the thing of population. Those areas tend to be the most populated. I'll probably get attacked for this but just my observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be dedicated to it first in terms of weather information (it's paid so he can't give it away free here). Alan and Matt tend to post when there are winter weather threats (they'll be back). Mets are great but I also get some great information from the non-mets. When there are big storms around I'll come here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems we get a lot more people here overall during the threat of winter storms than we do for severe storms and tornadoes. My thoughts: 1) When a winter storm is wide reaching, it affects everyone in a region and also typically for at least several hours straight. The same can't be said for a typical severe outbreak. Also, if there is sticking SN/IP or sig. ZR, the aftermath often lasts for as much as several days throughout a region, especially if very cold. 2) Wintry precip. is more enjoyable for most here from what I can tell. The idea of snow in the south is hard to beat for enjoyment, especially due to its novelty. Also, the beauty is hard to beat. More enjoyment means more posts. 3) I think that forecasting winter storms is more interesting for most here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Severe is also tougher to forecast as there are so many variables to it. I personally just dislike severe weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never get a straight answer from Brick about stuff like that. He obfuscates and deflects. Brick, you are smart enough to know that Robert is going to post on his site for his clients. It is what he does for a living. Once he feels like he has given them the information they're paying him for and that they have had the proper amount of time to consume it, he will post here, if he chooses. And during big wintertime events, he usually chooses. You know this, yet you keep bringing him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay caused a lot of damage and Godzilla is going to be way stronger than Fay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
