HogNose Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Does anyone else follow the wxrisk.com forecaster Dave Tolleris based out of the Richmond area? The guy has been pretty accurate with NE/Mid-Atlantic snowstorms and recently with Hurricane Irene. He usually challenges the conservative forecasts of the local news meteorologists. Very entertaining to follow during the winter season as he gives his in depth forecasts. http://www.wxrisk.com/ http://www.facebook.com/WxRisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 OBX=wind, as usual. Oh yeah, & still an epic mosquito problem. You can't even walk to your car without being attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hey Capt. Rich, I've got some relatives down that way. I thought the cooler weather would have knocked the state bird down a bit. At least you guys aren't cut off any longer. Yeah, it's deff to early for snow. Although, all we'll get is a cold rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 OBX=wind, as usual.Oh yeah, & still an epic mosquito problem. You can't even walk to your car without being attacked. I was there the week after the hurricane. South Nags Head was BAD. I mean, mosquito's landed in citronella candles. Any shade, you were toast. Between the hours of 6PM and 11AM, you were toast. It was our (wife, daughter and mine) first ever trip to OBX, and it was rough. When we packed the car to leave, I had on sweats, a long sleeve T, and a short sleeve T over my head and neck so all that was exposed was my face and hands. I had like 320 mosquito bites on my face and hands from loading the car. When we got home and unloaded. mosquito's that were trapped between bags were released. I counted 13 that flew out the back of my truck. It was like a horror movie, they would be attacking your windows trying to get in.....Bring on the cold, kill them sons of ****es Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I can hear the trucks spraying at night & it's hardly making a dent. This is a different mosquito. The wind blew these out of the big marshes and out areas & they are thriving. They don't even care about the cold. We fished late the other day and the sun set on me cleaning the boat. I finally dropped everything and ran to my truck. 4 of them made it in with me & i was going as fast as I could. We need a good frost. These things can even fly through 20 to 25 knots of wind.

Special K Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Got about 6 inches of snow here at the house today and it's supposed to be approx. 14 degrees tonight, yay. I just got back from the store where I bought a couple space heaters b/c our furnace is messed up. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It was 80 here in the Springs yesterday. Now we supposed to be getting up to a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow. The weather here is completely out of control Wow. It was 80 again today & will drop drastically...into the 70's by the weekend. No snow in the forecast here, thank the Lord. I hate snow.

HogNose Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It really is incredible. It's beautiful here, but the weather is extreme and severe. I was stationed at Ft. Carson back in the late 80's and really loved living in Co. Springs...I miss the front range and being able to look out my barracks window and see Pikes Peak. Great summers without humidity and tolerable winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It really is incredible. It's beautiful here, but the weather is extreme and severe. One of the first things I learned when I moved here nearly 25 years ago,was an "old" addage. "Springtime in the Rockies. Get tired of the weather,wait 15 minutes." I then learned,(rather quickly I might add),that that is true of this time of the year as well. Okay. Just about any time of year hear. Oh. Presently 22 degrees with a feels like of 17. I was in a tshirt on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a day while stationed at Ft. Carson when it was in the mid 60's and sunny, and about 3 hours later it was cold and snowy. Happened like that many times in fact. It was crazy how unpredictable the weather was while living in the Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened like that many times in fact. It was crazy how unpredictable the weather was while living in the Springs. My dad was stationed at Ft. Carson from 1969 to the Summer of 1971. To this day,both he and my mom will laugh about the local weather saying there was a 20% chance of snow. That always meant it would probably 20% a foot or so. And yeah. I know those days. Had to get used to that real fast as well. Southern winds bringing warm temps,but usually follow that up with a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Rochester doesn't get that extreme, but it's pretty bad too. We get 70 degree days, then 25 degree days with a pretty solid amount of snowfall. You have the AC on one day, and the heat on the next. Something you get used to.

SWFLSkins Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Looks like the cold front wind shear is going to knock off Hurricane Rina and we are only going to get rain. Hurricanes on Holloween, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the female wrestlers was at our house the other night and was all ticked off about the weather. "I'm not ready for the snow! I slept at the dorms last night and all I had were flip flops! When I woke up, there was a half of foot of snow on the ground and the temperature had dropped 40 degrees...and my car was parked half a mile away!!!" Haha. I just told her welcome to Colorado. I keep all sorts of different weather clothes with me in my office and my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Would you prefer this? I don't get a choice. But a CAt 3 or worse hurricane could change the landscape for the area in Florida that gets hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
