jburns Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just now, Avdave said: Interesting. I guess Ill be amazed like you said, if and when it snows here. I remember d rive to Charlotte from DC a few days after the storms and have pics of cars being abandoned on the snowbanks off I 85. Crazy stuff I guess when really does snow here, everything shuts down for good Pretty much. As far as driving goes, it is complicated by the fact that our road temperatures are usually a bit above freezing at the beginning of events causing a thin sheet of ice to form under any snow.

FallsLake Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Heading out to Gatlinburg Tennessee next week. I was hoping for some cool fall weather but it looks like many of the days will be in the low 80s. I think when it dose finally get cold it's going to shock many of us. But until it does, late summer continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingcrosbyb Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Way off topic, but does anyone know what happened to Talkweather.com ?

I think it crashed during the Hurricane Matthew storm. It's been like 12 days, more of a deal than restoring from backup, me thinks. Maybe them basically allowing the site to become a free model viewer for pay images like the Euro or AMWX modelcenter caught up with em'. Edit; it crashed before Matthew go close to the FL coast, so doubtful Matthew caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wow that rocket launch was crazy...I didnt know what to expect but it was spectacular......the rocket for the first 10 secs had a long red tail, you could follow it to first stage burnout and separation and it was not visible for 15-20 seconds then the second stage kicked in and we could see it till that burned out....

It was very cool. I took the kids to a park close by and some other folks were there to watch it. Love having a place so close to see things like this and meteor showers.

It's hardly ever completely cloudy in August. Unless there's a tropical storm or hurricane of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 What's up everybody. I'm in Gatlinburg Tennessee this week on vacation. I can't believe how dry it is here. The rivers and streams are way down and the plants look bad. I wish I could have given folks here 90% of what I got from Matthew. But I'm now off to go into the park.

FlatLander48 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Honestly watched wrestling for the first time in a few years to see Goldberg's face again. AND of course fell asleep 20 minutes before he came on. To put that into perspective, waiting up late to see a WWE wrestler and missing it due to falling asleep was STILL better than MNF.
