This tracking of non-existent Hurricanes sucks. Following heat waves suck. Tracking summer weather sucks in general and is boring as hell. Much more fun tracking those fantasy snowstorms for days only to see them go poof a day or two before they are supposed to hit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange location to put a house- low, essentially in the water, with what looks like a major road directly behind it. Should have been elevated on stilts/pilings.

Not sure I would want to be living in the house if a strong storm surge was coming in at high tide. Would give a new definition to the term boat house. Areas gorgeous. Would love to have a home on the water but the homes are a little pricey. Wife took tons of pics some of the better ones of which I might try to throw up a little later. We are seriously considering moving up here in 2 1/2 years. Probably look a couple of hours inland for a place. If we do I will be sure to post pics of all the snow for you all.

Gorgeous, not as brutally cold as places in the interior, and still gets plenty of snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring some unforeseen multiple day deluge(lol yeah right), at least I will be able to comfortably reconstruct my lawn in another month or so without being eaten alive. Late last summer/early fall was horrific on multiple fronts- humid as hell and aggressive mosquitoes. Deet? Pffft. I had to wear long sleeves and pants and cover my head to function- and hope I didn't pass out lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to hit up the meteorology department at PSU during my State College trip and met Jon Nese was there as a tour guide at the department of meteorology. If anyone knows who he is, he's a former storm analyst for the weather channel. He taught one of my forecasting classes at PSU before he left, first to work at the Franklin Institute I think then TWC after that. Guess he landed back at PSU. True story, in November 1997 I was in his class and if there was something interesting he would devote some time at the end of class to look at the models and discuss it. I remember him downplaying a snow threat because the NGM and AVN were too warm at the surface and a friend of mine brought up the big snow on the ETA. He said “I would pretty much ignore that”. Two days later as we sat in class during a snowstorm (I think we ended up with about 7”) my friend gave him some crap over that. He took it with a good sense of humor. I imagine that is a must in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Looking back, it was kinda funny having class during a snowstorm. These days they'd shut the university down for 7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some pics. <snip> Cool stuff. Down in Hilton Head, the area of the island where we stay sees average tide changes of 6.5' or so. Some neap tides can see a little less than 5' differences, but the highest of spring tides can have upwards of 9' difference. It's really interesting to see just how much the landscape changes due to those huge swings, even if it is frustrating as hell for a fisherman like me who's stuck on a kayak or just fishing off the beach into a raging salt creek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a met, of course, just a sys admin. It's just super close. I could ride my bike to work. :-) In other news, after coming back from the OBX, I noticed my lawn got a new hairdo. It decided to get its hair color changed to a brownish blonde. Completely unacceptable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
