Is that place even a forum anymore or is it a troll cave? I remember last winter one guy bragged about winning on a snowstorm and I found that disgusting he created a thread about himself only. There are some horrible mods over there too who can't tolerate a sneeze, but somehow seem to have given up because all they have are troll. Without people, you have no anything. There isn't any real knowledge or learning going around much either.

If you're not part of their "click" you get roasted until you either leave on your own or they ban you.

I know you can get glasses to watch the eclipse, and you can make things to see it. But couldn't you just turn your back to it and use the camera on your phone to see it?

Brick, in all seriousness...that will fry the camera on your phone the same way it would fry your retina.
 
The mods at American have always been horrible. One reason they have lost so many good posters. There a few left over there in various locations. We are lucky some have joined us . I'm just glad we have people here who actually explain things and try to HELP people learn and don't take the " I'm right your wrong attitude " which is one I've been guilty of in the past no doubt . Thankfully I've been humbled many times by many people and I've learned to listen more . I think ARCC and SD have smacked me around probably 1,000 times over the years which now I appreciate.

Welcome to the club, and it's fun to teach and fun to learn when folks wanna teach and folks wanna listen, and on both sides of the aisle, whether teacher or learner, everyone (mostly) sets aside the testosterone for the duration ...
Said it before - and it's worth repeating -- what a breath of fresh air we have here!
Thanks, Storm, and SD, and Shawn, and Metwannabe, and Whatalife, and ForthsythSnow, and Webb, and Larry, and ... everyone else, lest I put down 750 more names!
Best,
Phil

Some days I wonder if they smacked hard enough..... Lol jk. Fairly impressive how busy this place is even during the doldrums of Summer so to Dustin's point this place will no doubt be jumping when we get some actual winter clown maps to look at! :D

Yeah I'm also surprised how active it is, it's nice to see an interest in tropical weather on this forum

Part of that has to do with your knowledge of damn kelvin waves and all the information you post about the tropics .I've never been 100 percent into tropical weather until this year.

I will be so glad when this ridiculously stubborn pattern comes to an end. At this rate, we may go the entire month of August with at least a chance of rain each day.

Like raising kids, you realize after the fact you didn't do it enough.

Unfortunately accuweather thinks this pattern is going to last forever. But, it is accuweather, FWIW
 
I've had enough of this summer and it isn't even about heat this time. It hasn't been horrendous heat wise. It seems like every other day, there's an ants problem I have to worry about. Today I stepped into the car to go for an appointment in the morning and we realized that there was ants all over the car.

I mean ants won't kill you but I don't want something crawling all over me. It makes me jump.

Freaking enough. Can we skip the rest of this month?
 
Pretty funny that they issued a Flash Flood Watch today and in the watch area virtually no rain. The rain all fell east of the watch area. Makes sense.

Yeah. According to weather.com there's about a 60% chance of rain here almost every day for the next 2 weeks. Never seen anything like this in my life. I'm pretty confident there will be a torrential downpour at the exact same time as the Eclipse !

I've always loved tropical storms actually and I'm sure I can attribute some of that to enduring countless hours of my dad recounting his surviving the eye of Hurricane Hazel! Lol not to mention as a naive teenager waking up the morning that Hurricane Hugo was forecast to come through and I was disappointed it went west of us... Phil don't even comment haha

Summer patterns just seem to get stuck and it gets so old and boring. I'm over it.

Me too. After about mid July, I start growing sick of this same old pattern. September can't get here soon enough. Yes, September can be hot too, but at least then we're not dealing with dew points pushing 80 LOL

Usually towards the end of August dewpoints start to get lower here but i'm not sure about this year.
 
Meh, Hugo basically went right over me inland, just to the west of CLT at the time. Tons of damage, no power for 10 days, but tropical weather , hurricanes, and such, are boring, IMO . Id rather track a 10 day flurry threat, than an impending cat 5 US land falling hurricane, but to each their own.

To me, the excitement is with both tropical systems (no comment Phil lol :p) and winter weather of all kinds as well as cold. I don't like having severe weather and tornadoes because I don't want to clean up after them if they hit hard. Tropical systems are something that can affect a large area and seeing them hitting land isn't good unless they are weak depressions. It is in some ways more interesting because if you get a storm chance, it has a higher chance of developing than a winter storm, which 70% are fantasy, so it just gets frustrating. Nobody wants a hurricane, unless it is a hard hooking one OTS.

There'll be no clown maps this year. Prepare for glory! It'll be 80° again on Christmas. (JK)
