packfan98 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'll bet Robert and Allen will post on here when there's a threat. Robert really didn't post much last winter. I really missed his Euro play-by-plays! Allan and Matthew did post when there were viable threats. I'm sure Allan will continue to post since his weather models are tied in with americanwx.com. Hopefully we can get some other mets to chime in. I always love it when Phil comes in. You know we are getting it good when he shows up to congratulate us. Candyman, Cheez, and others will be around too I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just had a thought. I subscribe to Robert's site and also to Allan's model suite (in addition to others - i.e. weatherbell for the Euro stuff). It would be awesome if AmericanWx could create packages where if you purchased the model suite in the southeast or Tn Valley subforums you also gained access to Robert's detailed forecasting. I wonder if it would positively impact his subscriber totals to the point where the price point would be a little lower (even though 10.00 a month is very reasonable). Or even if it wasn't more cost effective, it would be cool to have a LOT of different pay things in one place. I guess that might be a major undertaking though. I am sure if I sit down and think about this further I will be able to come up with many ways this wouldn't be beneficial to the pay guys, but just thought it would be interesting to consider.

tnweathernut Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Robert has to be smiling looking at the 12z Euro. If we get another big high, another shot of arctic air........it will kudos to him - when others flip flopped like a fish out of water. Remember last year, he was on such a hot streak it was like he was controlling the weather for a while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Since almost all the remaining leaves came down the last two days, I took advantage of this brief warm-up and took a quick run over my yard with the Deere and mulched them into oblivion. Now to get the mower serviced and put away, for what I hope will be a rather lengthy winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 1978 was the same for me when I "wintered" for a job on the east shore of Lake Michigan; drifts were over 12' and ground snow was very close to 6'; since it was Jan, the last melt did not happen until May.

Poor souls up there now with rain coming .... That amount of snow is just insane. They are looking at a potientally major flooding event when the warm up and the rain arrives in a few days. They have been numerous reports of roof collapses, including a nursing home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said - poor souls. Saw it once and enjoyed it, but for 3 weeks I used my second story window to slide out of the house, down to what was (or used to be) my street (a secondary one) which did not get plowed for 5 weeks (until the last week of Feb it was so deep and stayed so cold) - if I hadn't been agile and 21, it woulda sucked big time. Fortunately my roommate was a chef at a bar about 3 blocks away and had the keys. We ate and drank the place empty, as it was literally not open for 2 1/2 weeks. Manager was so happy - no spoiled food to deal with once the plows finally opened us up. I feel for the elderly and those who are stranded, but truly worry about those who will get flooded once the rain comes. OK - enough .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think roof collapses will be a bigger problem than flooding. When that dry snow on the roofs gets saturated with rain water that is unable to run off, down they will come.

When that dry snow on the roofs gets saturated with rain water that is unable to run off, down they will come. Double edged razor, I guess. Flat roofs will definitely be a problem. Big high pitched would be my preference, though they will also have big problems. Would not want to be sleeping on the 2nd floor of a two story Holiday Inn up there ...

CherokeeGA Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I recall people wondering about the building code in Buffalo; for them a roof is to code if it can withstand 50 lbs. of pressure per square foot. That's much higher than what I understand to be the usual of 20 lbs per s.f. I do not know how many years that has been code; given the city's age it's likely that some structures predate the code. I'm also not sure how often or rigorously that's actually tested for via inspection during construction. This is an interesting read for those far enough north to worry about it. It gives weights for accumulated inches of ice and water as well as snow. Around here we're lucky if we get a few inches of snow, so yeah I don't think our roof is ever going to collapse. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
