Thinking Duke is going to beat UNC, like believing the GFSv3, 3 days out! Go heels, and we’ll make it 3-0 next week! BOOM! Deal with that!
 
FV3 is where my current thinking is...winter weather around March 22nd. Mostly NC northward. If it’s cold enough it could be a big dog. Currently showing low to mid 30s and thunderstorms. Think CAD trends colder. Will watch very closely and stay on top of it with all models. Bare with me.

Duke with Zion beats unc by 15. Maybe not though it's easy to win ACC games when you are the conference darling

Had ribs, wedge cut fries with a chipotle ketchup for dipping, cole slaw, and garlic toast for dinner earlier in the evening.

It was lit.

I've never understood all the recent controversy of Daylight Saving Time. It only takes a few days to adjust to gain an hour of daylight all summer long. Year round DST wouldn't be good either, because it would result in the sun rising very late during the winter months - in some areas after 8:30am! There is a reason why the year round DST experiment in the 1970s was quickly ended. DST exists for a REASON. I feel like I'm the only one that thinks it is still necessary.

The controversy isn't so much the adjusting. It is much more about the Euro not finishing til 3 AM EDT. Who can stay up that late??
 
Sometimes "little favors" are very much unappreciated ..
"Back in late Jan http://weatherbell.com targeted the period Feb 15-Mar 14 as a "crescendo of cold" for the US as a whole. With 5 days left, this is how it has looked only the southeast as escaped"
:rolleyes:
 
I’m bored so I just watched a few tornado vids but there’s literally no videos of the Phil Campbell-hackleburg tornado? Just 2 or reposted vids, I thought I saw more a few years ago, scary tornado tho as the meso scraped the ground and tornado was extremely fast

Unless u care about severe weather... why would u be up that late worrying with euro model this time year ... lol

Yes, it is most interesting in winter on average since the volatility is highest then. However, no matter the time of year, it is nice to be able to see the best model coming in live if I want to for whatever wx reason without having to stay up real late or set an alarm to wake up for it. With sports, it is more enjoyable to see them live than on DVR. That's how I look at models, especially the Euro. The excitement is increased knowing you're seeing brand new wx progs as fast as anyone in the world. Breaking wx news.

Well all I got to say now since I think any chance of winter wx is over (precip) was that It was nice discussing any upcoming pattern with y’all this past winter, I remember the SER just crawling back on every run of the gefs in feb, and all the missed opportunities, that pattern we had in January had so much potential, for example that coastal, just hope we don’t repeat that next year, I can conclude this winter was complete dogsh¡t, at this point I’m ready to get this cold out of the way and enjoy warmer weather so I can finally consistently exercise outside without a burning chest, lol

I tried to find Nov 31 ‘16 Simpsonville tornado, that went through my backyard. Was EF-1 110mph. No videos that I could find? Some damage footage from cars driving around the next day, but I have a few Picts and videos of immediately afterwards

My favorite exercise for outside is brisk walking (3.5 mph), which I enjoy doing with temps in the 40's to mid 70s (especially 40s to 60s) with dewpoints of 40s or lower and a decent breeze more than in any other kind of wx. Once past March, the % of days like that normally goes down drastically and I tend to start walking more and more on a treadmill in AC. Therefore, I hope we have a cool April like last year as I prefer to walk outside.

Yeah, I know you love it then. That’s way too early for me. Also, whereas temps will almost always then be cool enough, dew-points usually won’t be and breeze is usually lighter.

The clock was right on my laptop this morning then suddenly went back to standard time with no way to fix it because DST is checked (when I unchecked it, it went even further back). Aggravating.

Don't think central time is set either.

Edit: Might have fixed it by simply doing so manually (although I did switch the automatic way back on after that). Still so aggravating.

Nit. And how can u complain that a tornado went through your back yard and there is no video?! It was your one chance to become a YouTube star and you blew it!!
 
Now I might want to actually think about chasing (although I'll have to partner with someone online as I know nobody I'd find IRL would agree) but if there's a tornado IMBY I'm probably finding shelter instead of trying to find a way to get it on camera, especially with all the woods surrounding me.

Any higher than a low end EF1 and if this house takes at the minimum, close to a direct strike, there's likely going to be at least two trees down on the house.

(Edit, although I will admit, if the storm is going to miss me by 200+ yards I might go out and take pics but I live in the woods so it might not be great pics)

Don’t worry. I have a video of me my dad and my brother driving into the outer edge of that nader and we had no idea where it was or how big it was. I felt pretty damn helpless

Well, I heard the “ freight train “ sound, it was coming towards the backyard of the house. I got my son in the bathtub, I did look out the patio doors, and saw and heard trees snapping, and I had 2 80’ + pine trees back there! I wasn’t sure which way those would fall, they were my only real concern. In the end , I was on the S/E side of the tornado, so it took all the trees in the opposite direction of the house! I do wish I had the cajones to have filmed out the back door, but it really was a life and death, split second decision
 
Said 2 pine trees. On made it, one snapped off about 20’ above the ground!1091FCCA-8331-4B39-913F-A55C90966135.png

If you are bored look through this link and use the map option at the top. Its the Hackleburg tornado track from start until passed Tanner, but dont start until you know you have time cause it will suck you in.

For instance this was the two story brick house that was razed in Oak Grove.

It appears that ONCE AGAIN, the pattern we'v been waiting on for 3 months if coming too little too late. Is this just bad luck or is mother nature doing this deliberately to torment us?
