On a side note, has anyone notices the GFS added heat islands for cities in the updates? Surprised nobody mentioned it unless I missed it. I am sure come winter anyone near a big city will freak out because the GFS has them with rain and 33 while the surrounding area is snow and 27 lol.

Yes, I noticed. I wish the warmer normals/averages for big cities were also incorporated so that the anomalies wouldn't show up as warmer so often. Unfortunately, I don't think they are because if they were, cities like ATL wouldn't so often show up as warmer and never cooler anomalywise vs surrounding areas.

The good news for winter storm lovers who live in big cities, especially during CAD events, is that the combo of steady CAD induced winds and clouds/precip. tend to minimize heat island effects as surface temperatures tend to even out. I know this from my time spent in ATL.
 
Yall think you know what it's like to see SD happy as he's ever been (along with self included) or our man Brick depressed/angry/fustrated like you never seen him before. Circle your calendars for August 16,17th. Within weeks after thsee dates The Smurfs (UNC) are getting ready to feel the NCAA wrath/hammer finally. What a read in regards to what the ncaa had to say to UNC that just got released.

I mean this respectfully and hope no one takes it personally but to be honest I don't know what's worse... the bitching and complaining or the complaining about the bitching and complaining.

No secret where I stand. But guess what, when it rains Friday they both go away . It's a win win

I certainly hope you are right but the reality is the broad brush painted precip maps of the GFS aren't very reliable when the rain is convective.... unfortunately some will miss out (hopefully not anyone we know)

You never know with winter in the Southeast. He could in end up getting some if the conditions are right. It's happened before. :p

Yep, in the event there is another very rare DEEP SE winter storm like that from 12/1989 and a winter like 1989-1990 overall, Phil and I would end up with more than most posters here! Of course, that wouldn't sit too well with some here as I'd bet the bitching would be at historical levels from them even though that happens only once every few decades at most. The rule at wx bbs in general seems to be that people who very rarely get snow (like Phil and me) can have their very rare treat but that the people who normally get way more had better get their share too or the complaining will be endless as if Mother Nature is intentionally doing a number on them lol.

Can you imagine if the main wx bbs had existed back in 1989-90?

Edit: 1976-7 similarly favored the very deep south.

Playing in a three man scramble golf tournament tomorrow with my boss at RTJ. Last time I played with him he lost 9 balls and ran out .

Question is do i take extra balls for him ? Or do I hang him out to dry and tell him I dont have extra

Having balls when your with the boss is never a bad idea.....
 
To me, it wouldn't matter what conditions we have during our up coming winter. El Nino, La Nino, Neutral, the exciting thing is is that weather chooses to do what it wants for the SE. I've seen calls for warm winters and end up being Cold. There still forecaster as of now that are siding with a pretty good winter this year still, lets hope so. I think most of us will be happy this year. Only 1 can hope.

72-73 also favored the very deep south didnt it ? Just not deep enough to give Phil anything.

It's not just him, its anyone who lives south of Macon. It would take an extremely rare event to get a boardwide event.

Sounds like Larry, WeatherDawg and me. ;)
Anyway, "... screw it up for everyone" are fairly bold, if not caustic words, under the circumstances ...

We are finally getting to the time of year when the shorter days are becoming slightly noticeable. Already lost 20 min of daylight in the morning and around 11 min in the evening. I can almost smell fall. 36 more days !

That is why I don't ride state fair rides like that. They go up to fast and to easy for me to feel safe. Praying for all involved
