Brick Tamland Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 You went to the concert didn't you? I can see Brick as a Vanilla Ice fan from back in the day. No, but I wanted to. That was some great high school nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 No, but I wanted to. That was some great high school nostalgia. Late 1980's skating rink party music for the win. I remember well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Late 1980's skating rink party music for the win. I remember well. Well I grew up in a simpler time. The birth control pill was released when I was thirteen, girls burned their bras, and we didn't have to wrap ourselves in a radial tire while having sex, to keep from catching something that would eventually kill us. Now that's nostalgia. Enjoy your skating memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx n of atl Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Any one remember the year we had a book-end winter? we had a few years ago? Cold in the beginning and at the end of the season but warm in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Something that would piss me off, is if we actually do get snow during the next couple of weeks and I don't have the outside Christmas lights up. Happened once before.. It's hard enough to get snow before Christmas and to get it before Thanksgiving is kind of a joke (....but I wouldn't complain too much). I suppose the bigger joke was for those folks in SC that had snow before Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly might put them up early if we get something before Thanksgiving. Turn them on to get some nice pics and then just leave them off until we're ready. Hopefully all of us will have that option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if she knows there are cold north American Nino's too? I also wonder if it took her more than 5 minutes to issue her forecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshM Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Me thinks it might be dry and cold end of next week, trend seems to be colder and drier. Winter Storm criteria lowered... isn't that like lowering the passing grade so more kids graduate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Storm criteria lowered... isn't that like lowering the passing grade so more kids graduate. I'll take cold and dry all day long! IMO , it's easier to stir up some moisture when the cold is locked in, rather than having the moisture and trying to get the cold air involved.

wxjunkie Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hey guys, check this out. This is from February 2010 in Staunton, Virginia along I-81 in the Shenandoah Valley.. very cool!!

superjames1992 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hey guys, check this out. This is from February 2010 in Staunton, Virginia along I-81 in the Shenandoah Valley.. very cool!! This is what i wish for all of us this Winter... Hopefully more than once!! Cool video! Was that from the first Snowmageddon storm or the second one (I'm guessing the first)? I actually piggybacked my way to 2-3" of snow right before dawn on that one as the storm moved in before we changed over to 33/rain for the rest of the day. I guess you all got clobbered the afternoon and night. IIRC, we really weren't supposed to get much snow from it, so it was one of those awesome surprise over-performers here. A couple hours of heavy snow before dawn is always a good way to start the day. I'm afraid you might be waiting a century or more if you hope to see anything like that here, though. I'd love to experience something like that sometime. I might have to chase one sometime, though I'm not sure if it would feel the same not being at home. Maybe I'll move further up north after I'm done with grad school. I don't really know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxjunkie Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks man!! Yeah i wanted to put everyone in the snow mood!! ( like we aren't already..lol) That was the first storm. The second one went futher north. Yeah, im setting myself up for heartache i think!!... But we can hope man, and this year might bring us all some snow love!!!

wxjunkie Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah, i know i don't want to live here my whole life, i just miss the weather further North already. And what's cool is that you don't have to go up to mountains to get it. The latitude makes such a difference. The northern valley only averages 25 inches or so a winter, but the threats are so much more frequent and the chances for big storms are so much greater. Plus.. it just feels like home!!!
