phil882 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 nice! sort of cool to be working in this weather! Oh yes... always enjoy getting to launch balloons. If we weren't running low on resources (didn't get quite as much funding this year since we weren't expecting a blockbuster year for wintry precipitation), we'd likely still be out there trying to cover the NWFS event.

eyewall Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 wow you guys have actually picked up quite a bit of accumulating nice... looks close to a quarter inch thick! Yeah it was close to that. I called in nearly 1/4 and the NWS said that probably was a bit high so it was listed as 0.15 after we talked about it but not sure I think at least 0.2. It certainly has sealed in our snow cover!

burrel2 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here is my wife with the snowman we made. It was quite a challenge as we had to chink away the crusty layer of ice before rolling up the snowballs. I placed him on the north side of our house that never recieves any sunlight; I'm hoping he'll hang around a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here are a few impressive icicle pictures I've taken. Looks like I've got a footer on the first picture! I'm not sure how the heck this happened on the last one though haha. There wasn't a breeze or anything last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here are a few impressive icicle pictures I've taken. Looks like I've got a footer on the first picture! I'm not sure how the heck this happened on the last one though haha. There wasn't a breeze or anything last night. I've got some 3 foot icicles coming off my tin roof now. This has been perfect for slow drippage and I'm hoping they grow to touch the ground. The last time I had big icicles was Feb 2004. But these are fatter so far, I hope they can completely touch the ground before cracking but I bet the weight will be too much . Since my flash doesn't work on the cam, I'll have to park my truck in front of the side of the house to point the lights and get some pics. Its like that on both sides since this is a simple A frame house. The sound it makes when a chunk slides off always scares me. Imagine a glacier scraping across metal.

Marion_NC_WX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Cabin Fever was setting in for me today so I made my first trip out since the storm...main roads at noon today were mainly wet.

Good shot That's 221 (Marion Bypass) just before you get to HWY 70. The shot was taken from atop the bridge going into McDowell High. Tomorrow may provide some even better shots as the high mountains may come into better view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thought I would go ahead and bring the 2 ice pictures I took from Monday just about an hour or so before the highest ice accretions when power started surging a few times. heaviest ice accretions here since I've been in Summerville/Ladson, and looking like for me personally the heaviest ice accretions I've seen since the Feb 1979 Blizzard. Ended up with .4" ice accretions before the temperatures crept just ABV FRZ to help stop the continued ice accretions. On a side note: 39 degrees today. It's been almost 4 days now the temperatures have not reached 40 locally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm not well versed with doing pictures on line but I have a lot of pictures I'd like to share but I don't like how big they are and want to shrink them. I know of a website that can shrink them but you can only do one at a time and it takes too long. So how do I shrink them to a reasonable size?

It's free and typically when you have the image on your screen, just move to the left of the screen and it will give you the option to resize. I usually resize to 50% and it works great.

I know of a website that can shrink them but you can only do one at a time and it takes too long. So how do I shrink them to a reasonable size? This is by far the easiest way I have found...it's a windows power toy, just highlight your pictures then right click and select the size (800x600 is always a simple size)....then it will format them and rename them to something like IMG264_Medium. Then just move them to a separate folder then upload. http://download.micr...wertoySetup.exe I've used it on XP/VIsta/Win7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
