stormtracker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm glad it's going to snow. NOt going to pretend otherwise. On the other hand, if it were 80 on Friday, I'd be just as happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm loving this whole pipe discussion. Galvanized pipe, even something as small as 1", that totaled 80' with fittings included, would be heavy. AND.............it would be as flexible as a spaghetti noodle at that length.

Depends on the wall-thickness. I've done the calcs, anything with less than .95 in^2 effective area will weigh less than 250 lbs per 80 ft. length. As you say, it will bend, so it has to be supported. He infers that his old aluminum setup had guy wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the legality of putting up an 80' pipe- state, county, local laws, permits, HOA rules (possibly). At some height you actually need clearance with the FAA lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most local building ordinances do have a height limit, though, anything above which needs a permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be accumulating, non-accumulating snow. I'm sure somebody will wow us all with a depth measurement that is 200% of what everyone else has.

So, a scientist is giddy about back to back epic failures of his research and got saved by being right for the totally wrong reasons this year. He must be giddy about every single weekly outlook on AER's website being a total bust too. Sorry dude. Face it. Your call was no better than any weenie on this forum.

I think it's a factor, but shouldn't be given excessive weight. Yea, there's a connection when other things cooperate. My primary issue is the spin connecting the SAI to temps when the entire body of research is the connection with the winter state of the AO. That's what's been preached. A -AO favors colder temps so that's the real connection. This is the absolute first I've heard that the SAI is a precursor to winter temps regardless of the overall high latitude pattern.
