Re: JANUARY 2018 - Winter Storm/Hard Freeze Warnings

1983. Really bad. By far... in my opinion. Because it was so under-forecasted... and so extreme. Almost no precip. But... Just imagine out-of-town Christmas family coming to town. Power fails. Attic pipes start breaking. I still have nightmares from that one. All that said... I am enjoying this &quo...

Re: JUNE 2016: Showers/Storms Possible

I don't know which model our local NWS office tends to prefer... but they ought to reevaluate its use. FORTY PERCENT CHANCE for my local grid today? Really? We got squat. I'm starting to use commercial services more and more... as I think most will do when their livelihood depends on accurate foreca...

Re: JUNE 2016: Showers/Storms Possible

It is getting really cloudy and windy here in Stafford. Love watching the summer storms come in. Enough rain to keep the flowers and ponds happy, cool the temps a bit, though temporarily, but not too much water to flood homes and rivers. Color me jealous. :oops: This is the 20th day here with nothi...

Re: February 2016: Windy & Cooler. More Rain Next Week?

Looks like the models and forecasters busted pretty bad with this last system. The heaviest rain was supposed to be across the NE, but it was actually the opposite, mostly to the SW: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/images/fxc/hgx/graphicast/image_full1.png It was obvious they didn't have a handle on the si...

Re: December 2015 - Changeable Weather Pattern

As this storm lifts out I am now at the SIXTY-FIVE INCH mark for the year. Which is almost exactly THREE TIMES my total from 2011. I've never seen so much green in December. I may have to mow this week.

It wouldn't do any good. It would just be replaced by the next ARIZONA or somesuch.

Best to just not respond and eventually it will figure it's blocked by all ... and either fade into trolling or go off to ruin another board.

Re: JUNE 2015 -Tracking Tropical Depression Bill

We've been trained-on big time for the last 2 nights. 4.5" Tuesday, 4.3" last night. But since this was the first real rain of June, the area's handled it pretty well.
