JakkelWx Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Funny excerpt from NWS Houston: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=HGX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0 Beyond 240 hours? Why are you asking beyond 240 hours? If beyond 240 hours you go, only pain will you find. Yes, I see what the GFS is doing way out there, and I bring it up for the SOLE. PURPOSE. of being a buzzkill. We are now approaching the time of year when the GFS loves to generate tropical cyclones in the western Gulf out of the Central American Gyre in its extended range. The GFS does this...a lot. Every once in a great while, it happens in real life, too! So, if someone starts buzzing about the hurricane in the Gulf in two weeks, let us all take a deep breath and remember that far more likely than not, this is just the GFS reminding us that it is almost June, and nothing more. Regardless of what one model says about a couple weeks out, it is almost hurricane season, and we should be working on being prepared for anything that may come in the next several months as a matter of course. 25 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 So I bought a Honda mower today- the same one @George BM has and recommended. My dad has basically the same thing, but his has an electric start.

wxdude64 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 13 hours ago, fourseasons said: My personal opinion, but if the NHL starts its next season in December I'm OK with that. The regular season is too freakin' long. When they had the strike-shortened season it was great because every game meant something. And the NHL Center Ice subscription was only 50 bucks. Bobby Orr did his flying leap on May 10 (50th anniversary this year!). Now the Stanley Cup final goes into June. Even Canadians are bored with hockey in June. They need to shorten the season. They won't, though. The SPHL runs a 56 game regular season, it is just about right. Usually starts last week of October and playoff champ is crowned in early May.

Rvarookie Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I’d love to drink good beer everyday, but at this point shots of Tito's feels more efficient I also feel like Tito's has kept me healthy, so I won’t be participating in the mandatory mask stuff here in VA.

The wipers melted to the windshield Disappointing for a high school class, I'd have thought that at least one of her classmates would have know how to open a locked car. That said, I can easily see the wiper blades melting with that stress, lucky the metal wiper frames did not scratch the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was stupid and childish to not let people in this forum talk about the most unprecedented event in our lifetimes. Some of the posters active in this forum before have been posting in the New England forum instead, so they are still around, just not in here...

Well since I pushed for that thread to be started to begin with, I cant completely disagree. Ofc I don't have any say in which threads stay active and which ones are locked. I suggested a separate thread mostly to keep the COVID talk from dominating banter, as it was at the time. Activity is definitely much lighter here now in general though, but that is typical for this time of year. At least there is an easily accessible option for those who want to engage in that discussion on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
