Misc 2019 Banter & Friendly Conservation

I know they're usually not dangerous but sometimes pop up thunderstorms have scared me out of my pants. That usually happens though when lightning is close. Dad thinks this house itself has been hit by lightning at least twice, I'm not sure if it's twice but there's a good chance he's right on the first time, because when power was restored, everything in my "den" outside of the fan that was plugged up (and I'm not sure the lights work anymore on it after that, not that they're needed) was toast electrically. Had to replace a TV, DirecTV receiver, Wii, lamp, and the answering machine failed. It's because of that case that a very old TV is utilized in this den (it's actually a guest room). It works, it's just old.

I happened to be gaming when it happened and thought I'd be able to sneak in another online match as a pop up storm was starting to gear up and failed. I heard a major crash, saw smoke come out of that TV, and the power was gone all of a sudden. I just sat down my controller and was stunned and my dad walked in and asked me if I was okay. I was, but I might have been injured if it was not a Wii controller.

I've also had 1 creepy case that still sticks with me. Mr. Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne is kind of creepy music and I was listening to it during a thunderstorm late at night and lost power while I was listening to it.

It's a bit late but I have a feeling we are in for an "Appalling April" because I think there will be a ton of severe weather then too. Or maybe we will have a basic April Discussion Thread because there won't be anything special about it.

That was about 3 years ago, when he was still a snow weenie! I was working at a school, Nicole papay came one day, but I didn’t want to look like a stalker! LMAO! ???
 
Don't forget that the all important Euro weeklies will be out one later due to DST. So, don't panic if you don't see them "on time".

Is calling 911 because you thought the Weeklies were missing ok to do or no?

It is quite understandable and I certainly wouldn't blame someone from doing so. However, I hope giving folks a heads-up here might prevent at least some of the 911 calls.

Also, I'd like to remind the readers that they're often wrong. So, don't panic if they show something you don't want.
 
Can we take some time to talk about one hell of a storm named cyclone Trevor ? Please pray for those about to get impacted, right now it’s literally exploding as it’s environment only has 5-10 Kt of shear, this thing is crawling aswell allowing it to rapidly intensify and look at that new explosion of convection/towers, that’s -100C !!!! This thing is headed for the worst directions like Michael did, as you can see it’s getting very healthy and symmetrical and is trying to get convection wrapped on all sides, still struggling with its western/southern sides, anyways once the eye clears more, that would help warm the core allowing even more intensification

After it’s first landfall then entering back into the Gulf of Carpentaria, Here’s a look “inside the storm” as you can see, it’s core is extremely warm, which argues a extremely strong storm, very nicely symmetrical, very very strong winds in all parts of the eyewall, and the environment is impressive, very tall CAPE as the tropopause is pretty high which supports strong/intense rain bands and eyewall, I mean it’s not everyday you see a storm like this, it’s freakish and I don’t want no smoke this hurricane season, keep this away from us please god 8F99ADB2-C317-4F94-AE2C-07A200F47270.png56E361FD-E029-4019-9A7C-213F9DBC2543.png

I took a final exam my senior year of college. The professor handed out an essay; the instructions were to read it and comment in detail. I read it. I commented in detail. Wrote one word and turned it in: "Absolutely". Got the only A in the class. Hence my love of that word when used in the right context ...
 
Look at this eerie cyclone, classic pinhole eye indicative of a strengthening storm in a good environment, such a dangerous storm, I don’t care if this is in another part of the world, I find this stuff extremely interesting, unfortunately it’s deadly tho ?

SE snow talk still ? Y’all have fun and I will enjoy my upper 60s and low 70s hitting a white little ball in the woods then the bunker then in a hole 6 shots later. This weekend looks fantastic. Might play 36.

I’ve been down here fishing for 30 minutes and haven’t gotten a bite. Mid 50’s with a cool breeze. This is bullsh**. BN anomalies only show up when it’s time to be outside. Pissed

I'd be inclined for an "A" ... Abysmal ... Except ... it's been and still is fun watching ... so that's worth an "A" for effort and fun in and of itself ...
Now being castigated as a sinner and heretic for having such thoughts ... o_O ... I bid kind indulgence ... :eek:

Perfect golf weather and a pulled hammy = misery.

Only thing worse would be a nice snow storm and not be able able to have fun in it, maybe it will snow soon, lol..

There was a few points in town where it looked like pollen and cirrus clouds mixed to create an interesting sky, thought about taking my phone out to take a picture of it and I should have.
 
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I'd never turn down snow at any time of year. Warm weather is great and all, but that happens often this time of year. Spring snow is rare and cool to see. Last year we had a series of flizzards after the start of spring.

FFC concerned that a drought may be developing soon in GA:

Too soon to tell what rest of the spring will look like, but
starting to see signs in CFS v2 and other climate models that
drought conditions may further develop over middle GA and could
spread north unless we get back in wet pattern.

Fine with me.

An extended dry period is long overdue.

Last step is getting rid of the cirrostratus once and for all. :confused:
 
All I can say is that there is a general consensus about a low but not about the cold air or evolution of the storm itself. I would love for it to trend more SW so that GA can at least get in the game, but I am almost certain it will disappear entirely or go N and become a severe threat again.
 
In all my years of following models, the changes in the 0Z 4-10 day period consensus are some of the largest 24 hour cold changes across the board I’ve ever seen in any month. Nevertheless, the ensembles’ and Euro/FV3/CMC op cold bias still need to be factored in though the GFS op has not had a cold bias.
 
I feel like every winter since 2017 has been kinda similar, a snow threat early on, a February torch and a cold March.

I'm just gonna accept this as the new normal lol.
