I could hear the crackling as soon as I stepped out my door. Thats a good 1/4 mile from my house but nothing but woods between us with a shit ton of downed trees from the 6 storms since 2017 that have toppled trees.

Glad no one was hurt etc When I was about 11 years old, I decided that I would surprise my dad and clean up after a BBQ without being asked. I dumped the grill contents into the garbage can inside of the attached garage. We were then sitting on the porch talking to a neighbor, ironically about a series of fires that had recently been set in the area. The neighbor says he smells smoke we rush down and sure enough the garbage can was ablaze right next to the 77 Buick Electra. We put it out before any damage could happen but needless to say my dad was not overly happy and I learned to be very sure that all coals were completely out when cleaning the grill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my nightmare as someone who owns a small fire pit. Not that I live in the woods, but I drown the ashes before feeling comfortable going to bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen it rekindle even after drowning it, now I don't stop until there is no smoke or steam. My pit can handle 2 pallets side by side and I love to burn and chill at a pit especially in a snow storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Yeah being this dry, fires can easily escape into the duff. Happened to my burn pit a few years ago....woke up the next morning and the ground is smoldering all around outside the pit....I be like....ummm whaaaaaat?

I don't know how in the face of all those obstacles... But, I probably more literally than merely figuratively managed to just get the hose connected and the water on, spraying the - by then - arc of fire that had consumed almost 2/3rds of my dead backyard lawn and contents ...all the way down to black char, terminating it in a steam flash a mere inches from the fencing... I think when the adrenaline wore off I slept for 3 hours on the couch. If I had called the fire department it's like 1500 base-line charge/fine in this town, prior to any accoutrements they get to tack circumstantially on the bill too - I did this in my 40s age ... a Meteorologist ... in mid April ... in 77 F early season warmth, two weeks before green up, in a global warming spring - It's humility like these that ease the coming of acceptance of me, on display in the museum, a shimmering gallery mediocrity in life - and thankful for this much recognition.

Typhoon Tip Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Still see a decent chance of a PWAT plume entering the westerlies near enough our circuitry to clip New England if not more directly from Delta ... At the time I thought Gamma but ..it doesn't really matter as both entities were in hot prospect of being captured by the larger synoptic grab and smear pattern... The question is, what form does that take. Some guidance even hold onto vestigial ...though conversion physics, others are wane it out but then develop a separate baroclinic wavy on the wave boundary that feeds off the latent heat plume...and gets us that way... Then of course the GFS tries to shunt it all S under a high pressure it is too aggressive and full of shit to begin with because it has too much mid and upper air tropospheric wind speeds everywhere, all the time, as an irritating model bias that causes confluences to get out of control mass and produces too much surface high pressures...

WinterWolf Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Got a very nice and unexpected moderate shower this morning....and it lasted about 45 plus minutes or so and it rained good. Gave a good drink to everything. We take. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
