Misc 2017 Banter/venting thread

does anybody enjoy discussing the actual weather? i ask because i see posts about computer models all the time but almost never any mention of the weather.......computer models are NOT the weather and since they all change every run i dont see how it is possible to claim any of them are ever right?

I'm curious, what is your definition of discussing the actual weather? In my mind, the models that are used as a tool to try and forecast the weather would definitely fall under that umbrella.

we'll talk about the weather when there's weather. Not much to say about sunny warm weather.

Models are not the actual weather. Thats fantasy weather.

i define the actual weather as the "weather" what is really happening in the world......there is NOTHING in any model that makes it the real weather.

Good question. I hope it's just as much of our imagination as a massive Christmas dumpster fire is.

TWC.... all they talk about is warm temps and global warming. I stopped watching/ listening a long time ago. They can’t even get the hour by hour temps right.

Yep according to them every single weather event that happens is influenced by global warming.

Well, with the ridge approaching, I must take the lawn mower back out and change the oil, etc. I figured I was done cutting grass for the season; Obviously not.

Central NC really is getting the shaft so far. If Texas scores again before us.. geez

OK, so not forecasting but just current conditions. Gotcha

It's weird because I'm having no problems with other websites. Just this one.

We utilize cloudflare. It could be a bad routing from one of their content servers to you. They usually clear up on their own.

Edit: On a command prompt, you can type in: "ping southernwx.com" without the quotes and let me know what the TTL / MS / Ping is.

I bet it's your ISP. I swear the moment net neutrality died they were ready to throttle back the speed on this site for you just so they can charge you more for it later on.

That is the IP address/yours based off Cloudflare's technology. A ping, from command prompt would have just seen if there were any latency issues. It's not that big of a deal, as it will repair itself. It could be a variety of things such as internet congestion.
