Worst injury I've seen is someone DB benching and dropping 100s onto the ground but he had 90s under him and his finger was in between both dumbells, finger exploded and blood shot straight out onto the mirror in front of him.

Typhoon Tip Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 20 minutes ago, dendrite said: idk...I've been loving this winter. Low heating fuel costs and not much to clean up. Sub-plot to life... Last year I got a rudely awakening snail mail from N-grid indicating their intent to disconnect me from the grid, due to an arrears mount staggering to 2400$ Umm... how's that? My house is tiny 2 floor, 2-bedrooms, 1-bath, small kitchen and small living room area. That's it. In fact, when you turn up the thermostat, it takes ... 10 minutes tops to raise the temperature from a 54F morning (in winter), to the mid 60s .. 70. It's electric heat - why this is relevant. So yea, with electric heating...I'm going to pay more than just running the appliances. Still, the footprint of this edifice is not that large. Here's what happened... I get offered an astounding .11 kwh rate from some outfit in Buffalo - can't recall their "Enronian" name ( fuckers). I signed up ...because of course I'm also an asshole - it takes two to tango. It was great through the autumn. I was paying like a 150 a month. Then, in December, they sent out a snail mail ( which c'mon! they know people don't check that often any more with an increasing reliance upon other notification closer to real-time ( this is particularly true if you are a asshole!) so they leveraged that). In that snail mail, which I found ...6 months later, they had moved the kwh rate to staggering .36, during the coldest 3 climo months of the year. So I was paying closer to 700 a month to heat and run the home, in totality, thinking that my auto payment of 150 was covering. N-grid finally loses patience come June. They're perfectly willing to cut your power in a low risk summer month - I give then mercy credit there. I immediately converted back to N-grid for supplier. Unfortunately... they sent out mail in September, blaming something having to do with natural gas for why they were going to up their kwh to .28 per. Oy! I don't buy it, frankly. I think these suppliers are in trouble .. not because of supply and demand. Lie. I think they are worried that the future will stem their means to hold society at ransom, because solar at site, and wind and solar at regional scales, et al, is starting to cut into their fossil fuel sourced power grid. That, and... due to legislation already in the works, they won't be able to access FF in 30 years...They are trying to exit trillion the industry as a strategy. But I hate all conspiracy theories unless they are my own, so taken for how little this is worth. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could not be any more quintessentially a needle threading scenario. That ICON solution... regardless of whether the model's a piece of shit or not... is a nice illustration of what that means. That goes 10 miles NW of that track and it's heavy rain a ORH. 10 miles SE, and it light snow there. But riiiiiight perfectly the model runs this thing with exceptionally precise tolerance, along the necessary track to get things interesting between ORH and BED.

But riiiiiight perfectly the model runs this thing with exceptionally precise tolerance, along the necessary track to get things interesting between ORH and BED. No problem! put all your money down on the ICON, huh We had a similar needle-threader right before the onslaught in 2015....the system on 1/24/15 that got everything started was actually a really precarious setup with basically no high to the north and we just happened to get the trough in the perfect spot to ride the low just offshore and produce a modest band of 5-9" type snows across a chunk of the area. Same deal on this one...it's an airmass that really isn't that cold and there's no high holding any of this in (it slides quickly offshore). One reason I'm pretty pessimistic for snows in SNE until post-1/25....these airmasses aren't that good and hardly any of the setups of a decent high....with the delicious irony of Thursday being the exception. Only problem with Thursday is the airmass is so putrid, that a decent high only merely gives snows down to about the MA/NH border or rt2-ish region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynwx99 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think the main thing to watch with 1/23 is seeing how far E the SS piece escapes. the reason why the ICON works IMO is because the southern stream leaks eastward, suppressing heights out ahead of the main trough and leading to a coastal low the GFS has been trending in that direction with the SS vort, which is why we've seen east ticks since 00z this is certainly not a good setup for the coast, but I would keep an eye on this, since the system will be very dynamic. anywhere NW of the SLP has a shot of legitimately cooling due to strong FGEN, good 250mb venting, and lots of PVA root for the SS energy to be a bit quicker to prevent a clean phase, if anything. luckily, it seems like things have been trending a bit more progressively as we've headed towards an event anyway, so there's that. I would definitely feel better if I lived NW of 95 into NH / C MA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people do incredibly stupid things at the gym. One of the highlights was a guy on back to back days...he was running so fast on the treadmill that he got thrown off of the treadmill into a wall. The gym billed him to repair the damage.......a woman "chalked" both of the impressions on the wall.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George001 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The Canadian trended nw with the 25th storm, it has a low in Chicago. Due to the overall longwave pattern, I am convinced the Canadian is on to something, and there is room for that storm to trend even more nw (low in Wisconsin).
