dailylurker Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sounds like some of the extreme weather guys in SC aren't satisfied with their historic rain. I guess us weather nuts are all the same lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkstains Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 For a 1st post, let me express my thanks. I’ve been dialing in for almost a year now, and learned a lot -- chiefly about re-calibrating the meaning of weather after a life-time on the West Coast. It’s too late now to try and catch up with the intimidatingly knowledgeable folks here, but I think I’m catching on a little. A tip of my hat to you all. May you get the snow you want. Tally ho.

87storms Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 based on the last 2 years of having pretty decent winters here, i think a boom or bust scenario is in the cards. been a while since we've had 3 sizable winters in a row. one thing i can say for sure is that i'd prefer it to be snowy dec/jan instead of feb/march like the last 2 winters have been because it's still been cold dec/jan which has made the last 2 winters seem too long. a solid 2 month long winter with snow is sufficient and actually how it normally is around here which makes the last 2 winters kind of unusual.

WEATHER53 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's been a moderate event but the classifications of state emergencies over widespread 2.5" rain and 40mph gusts does not inspire great confidence for the next such advisory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmac Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Welcome. Now on to my post. The Nats suck, Joaquin was almost a complete waste of time, it won't snow around here for a while, we're probably back to boring, AND MY GAMECOCKS ARE A RAGING DUMPSTER FIRE as a gamecock, i echo this sentiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmac Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Nice to see another fan But yeah, this season is tragic. Worse than last year IMO oh its a giant clusterf*ck...

dailylurker Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 100% agree. Some serious flooding down there tonight. Y'all stay safe. I've been drooling over the Charleston radar for hours. It's amazing. I'd almost trade someone down there a 12-18" MD special for that monster rain hose. Thing reminds me of the South Buffalo snow hose last year.

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 as a gamecock, i echo this sentiment ...And as a Cleveland fan in general (Browns, Indians, and even the Cavs), I likewise echo this! Though at least for football and baseball, you tend to go into each season not expecting much nowadays, so the results are not a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Pretty unusual 4th quarter winning drive. Skins are definitely better than many expected this year. Cousins played a solid game and most importantly finished a game winning drive. No chance we beat Atlanta next week but I'm pretty happy about beating Philly.

09-10 analogy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hell of a situation down here in Columbia. Right where I am in the Shandon neighborhood (near USC) there's no flooding to speak of, but it's on higher ground. Some trees coming down so that might be an issue. Water needs to be boiled, citywide curfew starting at 6 PM. Typical (or atypical) weather-related mayhem. I can't recall the last time there was a weather-related curfew in DC. Curiously, none of the rain I saw was what I'd call "torrential" (although it might have been overnight when I was asleep). Certainly nothing like what I saw in June 2006 in DC. A steady, heavy rain. The gauge at USC (pretty close to where I live) registered something like 10.75" last I looked. I was surprised. To the east, toward Sumter, there's 15"+ recorded. And of course there's some even more ridiculous amounts downstate. Many of you might have seen the footage from Columbia, of the commercial strip with the McDonalds in the background. That's Garners Ferry Road, about 2 miles east of where I'm staying. Went down there earlier today. First thing I thought of was the flooding I saw along Rock Creek during Floyd, but this looked more dramatic, naturally, since it's charging through a commercial area. Of course the overall situations aren't comparable at all. My "personal" observations aside, this is a real mess down here. Worst statewide disaster since Hugo, doubtlessly.

Bob Chill Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A win next weekend and there's going to be chatter about the bandwagon. Heh, if Ryan throws for less than 350 yards and 4tds I'll be shocked. Only chance we have at a winning record is beating the Jets and Tampa after getting destroyed next week. Our secondary is weak at best. 2-2 feels like a big accomplishment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living up here I rarely get to watch, but with Ravens off, I got a chance today. A weak secondary, yes, but I was impressed with the defensive line.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Absolutely BEAUTIFUL day out there.

midatlanticweather Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Weather could be way worse! On this day in 1941 Richmond reached it's highest ever recorded October temperature. 99°F at Byrd Airport I have not looked to see what DCA reached. It is a beautiful morning.. bit cloudy and not as crisp as yesterday, but not torching hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
