CIK62 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hurricane Alberto near Cape Hatteras May 30 @960mb. ? This thing taking longer to develop than when it first showed itself last week arriving here for Holiday. Outputs have to be watched. Gulf Stream breaks quickly northeast at Hatteras, so I think it will have to follow or dissipate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the warnings up for the Outer Banks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I'd even take a foot of mixed sleet and blue cement that I have to shovel with a garden spade over trees on power lines and no running water for days. Tell ya what though, if you want to bring by a 500 gallon pressurized water tank with a hose to run into my bathroom so I can flush for the next few days I might reconsider...

bluewave Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I would love to see 10" of snow in an hour and 1.00" of rain in 5 minutes. Our increasing weather extremes may make both a possibility in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islip had 1.08" of rain about 9 minutes during the 1000 year deluge in August 2014. Places in CT came close to the 10" per hour of snow during the February 2013 blizzard. No doubt those records will be surpassed somewhere around the region in the future. I would like to be close to the spots where they both occur if possible.

I also don't enjoy the ice that inevitably comes with it on most roads in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Driving in the snow is great in most cases. It's somehow relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I like snowstorms (between Jan-Feb only), but I absolutely HATE the cold. I could easily give up snow for milder/shorter winters and more thunderstorms. I really only like our climate between the months of April and October, anything outside of that generally sucks.

In theory I agree but in my experience its usually a diaster. A couple inches acclumation with moderate snow falling creates epic traffic jams in all directions unless its the middle of the night. Walking during/just after a fresh snowfall can be a relaxing atophmere, at least temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have driven through big snowstorms and rainstorms. But the worst driving conditions were the Jan 94 ice storm and Jan 86 flash freeze. Cars were sliding backwards downhill where the Meadowbrook goes over the Southern State on 1-28-86. My wipers kept freezing during the moderate freezing rain on 1-7-94. Had to begin braking well before the traffic lights to avoid sliding through the intersections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ice and freezing rain just plain sux but accumulating sleet can be interesting when the pavement is cold enough it doesn't ice over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
