ocala Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 In a manner of speaking ... Are you getting those invasive Cuban tree frogs? The ones that spit and jump 10 feet and leave poop like a rat on windowsills and outside furniture? Well - they are all over west Gainesville. BUT -- 3 nights near 35 and suddenly I'm finding frog carcass everywhere (including on top of my security lights). Cold kills them on the spot apparently. So - Bring on 1963, 1976, 1983, 1985, 2011 .... FREEZE forever!!!!! I have never heard of those before. Plenty of green tree frogs, bull frogs and toads though. Weird they aren't down this way.

ocala Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Man, radar is full of rain but a lot of virga unfortunately. DP's in the upper 50's but there must be a lot of dry air aloft. Radar precipitation amounts say I should be over an inch but only .12 so far in the bucket. I'll take anything at this point. Very dusty around here. Need a good soaking.

ocala Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 And models look like we unfortunately don't get into any of this early season cold .... Xmas time we usually get our dose of Arctic air. It's a bit early for things to get below freezing here. I just wish these fronts would start bringing some good squall lines.

smog strangler Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Looks like you had a good time smog. Where's the fish? No fish Mr. O. That would have required access to Lake Kissimmee and the only way that happens from the campground is via boat. No boat in the strangler band wagon. So much fun though just keeping up with the kids, keeping a fire going, preparing meals, and roaming around the place by day. Wildlife is in large abundance right inside the main camping area. We had two doe bed down for the night directly behind our set up. Many more tales to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKStormFan Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well most of N&C Florida should see some rain this afternoon as this cold front passes down from the north. Looks very cold for the time of year in the next couple of days - I bet that shall come as a shock to some of you. Also looks like being some strong storms around this afternoon just ahead of the squall line. Already 4 tornado reports in the Panhandle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smog strangler Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well - lots of pine limbs down in the yard and 2 big laurel oaks down at the end of the street Southern zones still waiting, and what a brutal march south as precip is waning. Much colder air on the way all around for sure but spots like me look to perhaps fall short in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Fairly potent line when it came through this afternoon. No tornado reports but wind gusts from the Jax office ranged from the mid 40's to 67 mph. .91 in the bucket.Full sun tomorrow but low 50's for a high with 15-20mph gusts. 27 for tomorrow night which is mighty chilly for mid November. Usually get those temps around xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Good rain finally here today... much needed not sure how much in the gauge but def did pour good with gusty winds a few claps of thunder. Hard to believe the changes taking place tonight. Was about 84 today with a high of 55 tomorrow. Will feel good. http://www.wec.ufl.edu/extension/wildlife_info/frogstoads/osteopilus_septentrionalis.php http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw259 th.jpg We got them here too. Though haven't seen none since the weather has dryed up and temps have dropped some over the last month and half. Still have the green ones hopping around here tonight. Yall got coyotes up there bad? I swear FWC or private citiizens need to start blasting them things. What ever method works... predator calls or treble hooks. I know thats what happen to my cat that disappear last week. Here is a pic of one in the house on Oct 9 2014. Was just as big maybe a lil bigger that a regular pack of cigs. Greenish/brown with slight faded black charcoal markings/bands.

FLweather Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Front just passed the Apopka area. MCO still reporting SW wind-- winds here have shifted to more westerly behind the surface trough axis then should shift again out the N/NW. Edit: Winds are now straight out the N around 1 am. So the HP is taking control-- surface and upper level trough axis has cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well Ive got to get the thermometor replaced.... or either something is very wrong with the situation. Its saying 42 on the porch with sprinkles. Am I still in NC? Probably more along the lines of 48. But 1.2" fell yesterday and ah damn its cold. I swear... this cold down here is different its a wet cold not a dry cold. Lmao not many times you see MCO with 49 and rain falling on the NWS site.

smog strangler Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I woke up this morning to .03 in the bucket. Today was gray and raw as advertised (although the forecast was a complete BUST yesterday) and what do I come home to with the passage of this front? LOL .08 Yeah it's cold. However, mega BUST FTL on the rainfall forecast. I saw it happening last night but discussion kept telling me it was coming. NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 First signs of the wash out showing up on radar thats going to affect the Mid Atlantic and NE, GL. That band of light raining creeping north... but not for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 This from Jville's morning AFD.Something tells me I won't see those rain totals here. To their credit they do say higher totals in SE Georgia.We'ii see what the afternoon AFD has to say.For tonight...strong dynamics in thesouthwest flow aloft will help to enhance rainfall ahead ofnorthward moving warm front...with 2 day totals of 2-3 inchesexpected through Sunday night with isolated higher totalspossible. Heaviest amounts will be across southeast Georgia. Warm front willlift to the Florida/Georgia border by Sunday morning. Main impact tonightwill be widespread rainfall...heavy at times in some locationsalthough lack of rainfall this fall will prevent significantflooding problems except for the usual locations. Severe weatherthreat for developing supercell activity along and just south ofthe warm front in the warm sector will increase slowly through theday on Sunday with a slight risk of storms with damaging windsand/or an isolated tornado.
