LithiaWx Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Heavy snow, is the most misused weather term in this forum. SMH, like ripping snow, a damn flurry would be called ripping or heavy snow by a lot of posters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks for the link. Wow 7 years worth of rainfall from thunderstorms. That's impressive for that region. Did not realize how dry there climate was. When my father was in Lima, Peru in the 1980s, he said a lot of houses didn't even have roofs on them because it was so dry (and they were poor, of course). Lima receives about 0.5" of rain per year, which is amazing for a city of nearly 9 million people. For reference, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia receives over seven times that amount of rain annually. I connected through Lima when I was in Peru a couple weeks ago, but I couldn't see much from the airport. The houses in Cusco sure had roofs as it is pretty wet there during their summer (and nearly bone dry during their winter... or dry season).

Jon Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 We're not a very physical team. We get out-physicaled a lot. Louisville is one of the last teams I would have wanted to play. We shut down Montrezl Harrell last time, I was hoping we would do the same this time but was definitely worried...not because we were outmatched by any means, but because NC STATE CANNOT BEAT A GOOD TEAM TWICE IN ONE SEASON! NCAA Tourney team, Duke, UNC, you name it we can't do it twice in a season...so that was my main concern...what would be the chances of beating Pitino's team who is 16-1 in the Sweet 16, TWICE? I had hope, but knew it wasn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow Ike wasn't either,but a 1926 Miamicane was included.If sandy had hit NC/SC or somewhere in the south, it would have just been a footnote. It's just the fact that it hit the big cities in NE!
