Dave Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I come from the Canadian forums on Saturday nights with popcorn in hand just to watch the fights on here. Our winter has been so boring that infighting is the only source of entertainment available. If some cold air doesn't arrive soon, you'll need to get a Costco sized crate of popcorn.

Guest El nina Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Do you think "Stoner Cuz" is a good nickname for the 06z, in a mirror analogy to the 18z Drunk Uncle? Whichever model is the slowest needs to have that name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Day 10 - I would say all eyes on the system for Thursday which previous runs have also shown gusty to strong wind potential. This I believe is the first run to show a wind storm scenario. It looks like 140-150kt exit jet support slams into the Oregon Coast, so this looks possible. http://maps1.pivotalweather.com/maps/models/ecmwf/2018010700/240/500h_anom.na.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always scares me when it gets super windy from the south, I'll take a pass. Scariest experience I had with trees in a windstorm? When I lived in Eugene, one time the power went out with a loud bang and when I walked down the street, some trees had been uprooted and were leaning heavily on a power line directly above the sidewalk. Definitely had to detour myself around that one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChilliwackBCwx Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Did anyone growing up have a cable community channel with weather instruments and would sneak into the living room at night to watch them during a snow or cold weather event. Ours did up in Vancouver B.C. back in the late 60's early 70's they were the dial type. Then about the mid 70's they changed to a digital board read out that was cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
