George BM Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm curious...How many inches in diameter are the fireworks that are usually shot up at fireworks shows from towns and cities across the region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most generic professional shows for municipalities have a bunch of 2" shells in the opener and 3"/4" for the meat of the show, with a smattering of 6" shells interspersed for effect. As you get into more expensive five-figure shows, you'll start to see a couple 8 inchers in the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like what I imagine a turkey feels like on Thanksgiving. We even got basted by a few, albeit very light, hot rain showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 4 minutes ago, Jebman said: Yes. The reason is simple. My beloved Dad passed at 930pm on June 13 this year. He was 81. My mom, who resides in Texas, has been up here, we are cleaning up frantically, we will sell my home in Dale City where Dad and I lived together for over 20 years and then we will DRIVE to Buda Texas which is 1350 miles to the SSW of Dale City. Thus begins an entirely new life for yours truly. I am not sure what I will do with the rest of my life, lol. Find a freezer to live in, probably lol. I will still be wishing heavy snows on the Mid Atlantic though. The Reaper will be out of work forever. You guys are going to get BURIED ALIVE this winter by extreme snows. This is a scientific forecast. My proof? I will be gone, 1300 miles SSW. Washington is going to get totally destroyed by snow this winter. Bank on this. Really sorry about your dad. I hope life treats you as well as it can in the furnace that you're moving to. I wish you the very best. Please don't be a stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Thanks for all of your kind words. Well, the rain in Va will miss us, and that also is excellent practice for Austin. That place misses out on rain a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeb, you might have a chance for more severe wx there. Plus, I've found in TX you can see most wx patterns from such a distance. I haven't been to SA to Austin area, but have otherwise found Texans to be friendly and enjoyable to be with. 20 good years wih Dad, and now more good years with Mom. There are many who might envy you, even though it's hard now; real hard. Only had a sprinkle of rain here so far. Sun was out when I started, but clouds pushing back now. Thats a good idea concerning severe - I just might have to tornado chase next spring. Yep Texans are friendly. I already spent a couple of summers down there, and even one winter lol. 2 hours ago, mappy said: sorry for your loss, hugs. quite a few of us have lost a parent, so i can relate to whatever you are going through and if you ever need to talk, feel free!

I know a guy from here that retired to that area a couple years ago, and he loves it. He is also sort of between Austin and San Antonio which are really cool cities. Oh and you'll be in the path of the total solar eclipse on 4/8/2024! You'll have to take a short flight to Denver in winter for some awesome skiing. I'll keep that total solar eclipse in mind. Thanks! I might hit Mammoth Mtn in January of a major Nino year lol. 16 hours ago, yoda said: I'm really sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with you @Jebman.

showmethesnow Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 @Jebman After years and years of reading about your Jebwalks it just won't be the same in here without you. Hoping the best for you and yours down in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 @Jebman Sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Wishing the best for you down in Texas or wherever your Jebwalks take you. I've gotta say, you are probably the biggest influence to some of these weather boards in a really good way. All the talk of your Jebwalks in the snow and your enthusiasm for weather has certainly cheered up many on this board for years and years. No matter what weather board I've been on, I've seen people talk about their own Jebwalks using the term. Even people who have never heard of your name still use the term "Jebwalk". Now THAT is a big influence! If winter 2018-19 is somehow a biggie, this sub-forum certainly won't be the same without your enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
