I forgot that was a show, why are they referring to it as WO?

« on: March 01, 2009, 04:48:24 AM »I would expect my area in NJ to get 6 inches. That's about it.
TWC is forecasting that much here for me in Atlanta, but if were caught under one of those very heavy snow bands, we'll get more than that most likely, I hate the NWS here they are very scary on perdicting any kind of snow, if we get that kind of snow they will have no choice but to upgarde us to a Winter Storm Warning because a Winter Weather Advisory would be too weak to alert to those kinds of accumulations.Also have you guys heard about the 3 inch snow bands that whipped through Memphis? They picked up that much in just 45 minutes! Talk about intense!

« on: February 28, 2009, 10:58:39 PM »I also abandoned this cable network after they adopted the CN cube as well.
That show is wrong. They also shown dicks, boobs, and butts (all blurred becides the butt)I wish that they would get sued.
I would watch Boomerang (The old shows that used to be on Cartoon Network prior to 2000), but Comcast here wont support it
Have they really shown that kind of stuff on there? How they're getting away with showing that is puzzling.

« on: February 28, 2009, 09:24:12 PM »Keep in mind, that in the eyes of Neilsen and everyone else, [adult swim] and Cartoon Network are technically two separate networks. If Cartoon Network were to go, I bet [as] will remain.
AS should have it's own channel just like Boomerang. (which used to come on CN prior to 2000 when the channel launched) They keep expanding their schedule year after year anyway.

They probably just don't give a crap. If it's getting ratings (positively or negatively) and noone tries to file a lawsuit against them, they figure it'll be alright.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM SUNDAY TO
MIDNIGHT EST SUNDAY NIGHT...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM SUNDAY TO
MIDNIGHT EST SUNDAY NIGHT. THE ADVISORY AREA COVERS MUCH OF NORTH
AND CENTRAL GEORGIA NORTH OF A LINE FROM CUSSETA TO PERRY TO
MILLEDGEVILLE TO WEST OF AUGUSTA.
LIGHT RAIN WILL MOVE INTO FAR NORTHWEST GEORGIA LATE TONIGHT AS
THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES TOWARD THE STATE. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE AREA TRACKS ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA...COLD AIR ALOFT WILL
PUSH ACROSS THE STATE CAUSING THE RAIN TO MIX WITH AND EVENTUALLY
CHANGE TO SNOW.
THE STRONG LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM SYSTEM WILL CREATE A
SWATH OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW
PRESSURE AREA. AS THE COLD AIR MOVES INTO THIS PRECIPITATION
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES
CAN BE EXPECTED WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR HEAVIER SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE A LAYER
OF ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES NEAR THE SURFACE WHICH WILL CAUSE
SOME OF THE SNOW TO MELT...ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING. GROUND
SURFACES WILL ALSO BE WARM DUE TO THE RECENT MILD TEMPERATURES AND
SHOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON ROADWAYS.
HOWEVER...IF A HEAVY BAND OF SNOW DEVELOPS IT COULD CAUSE
TEMPERATURES TO FALL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW TO
OCCUR ON ROADS.
PERSONS IN THE ADVISORY AREA ARE URGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST
CONDITIONS AND FORECASTS ON TELEVISION... RADIO...THE INTERNET OR
NOAA WEATHER RADIO. IF THE STORM SYSTEM OR COLD AIR INTENSIFIES
FURTHER...A WINTER STORM WARNING MAY BE ISSUED FOR PARTS OF THE
AREA.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW...SLEET...OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR
SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
The picture below is of a highway snapshot in Memphis,Tn. look what has piled up in just a matter of 2 hours.
Below this is a US map of watches, warnings, and advisories out, Notice that the SE is lit up with Winter Weather Advisories or Winter Storm Watches/Warnings. There's also a snow forecast map from TWC posted below as well.(Updated map)
36 hour forecast - Source ~ TWCi
Tonight - Cloudy. Low 41F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday - Rain mixing with and changing to snow in the afternoon. High 41F. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of precip 90%. 2 to 4 inches of snow expected. (snow accumulation updated, orignially 1-3 inches, percentage has also increased from 80% to 90%)
Sunday Night - Snow in the evening will give way to some clearing overnight. Low near 25F. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 70%. A slushy accumulation of less than one inch. (snow accumulation added since noontime, percentage increased from 50% to 70%)
Notice that that the low and high for tonight and tomorrow is the same, that's because temps are expected to fall during the day instead of rise. During the peak of the heaviest snow temps are expected to drop from 39° to 33° possibly down to or below freezing depending on dynamic cooling of the surface. Also there's a chance of thundersnow with this system because of the convective lift and powerful energy it will carry.

WeatherStar4000 Emulator - Winter Weather Advisory pt. 2
The NWS in Peachtree City has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all of North and Central Georgia as far south as Columbus,Ga! it expires at Midnight Sunday Night. 1-2 inches are possible, but depending on track and how fast that upper low shoots the cold to the surface we can definitely see more than that! Thundersnow is also possible with this system.

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA...NORTH
CENTRAL GEORGIA...NORTHEAST GEORGIA...NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND
WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA.
* FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING
* A LARGE STORM SYSTEM PUSHING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES IS EXPECTED
TO PULL A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE
VALLEY REGION TODAY. A MODERATELY STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL
FORCE ABUNDANT MOISTURE NORTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM.
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER ALABAMA AND MOVE INTO
GEORGIA BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
STATIONARY OVER NORTH GEORGIA TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AS A SERIES OF
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. THIS WILL
CAUSE A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL
ALABAMA AND DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE CAROLINAS BY
SATURDAY NIGHT.
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH ISOLATED 4
INCHES POSSIBLE CAN BE ANTICIPATED OVER MOST OF NORTH GEORGIA
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT AREA AT THIS TIME
WILL BE GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM LAGRANGE TO MADISON TO
WASHINGTON.
* THIS HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY CAUSE SOME RIVERS...STREAMS AND
CREEKS TO RISE TO LEVELS THAT RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING.
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN URBAN AREAS AND
MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN DUE TO RAPID RUNOFF.
A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR FLOODING
ESPECIALLY ALONG LARGER STREAMS AND RIVERS. IF YOU ARE IN THE
WATCH AREA...CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS...ESPECIALLY IF
YOU HAVE INTERESTS ALONG AREA RIVERS. KEEP INFORMED...AND BE
READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.
This is just Phase One, Phase Two comes with the slight chance of severe weather today into Saturday. The main threats are for damaging winds with squall lines, it's not expected to be like last Wednesday with the big tornado outbreak.
Now here comes the Third and tricky part of the Phases this weekend, the possibility of accumulating snow. Models continue to indicate accumulating snow to slide southeast affecting GA, AL, TN, NC, SC, and maybe FL? That seems to be what the JMA computer believes, it even wants to bring snow as far south of Tampa, FL! Pix below:
As always, the axis for the heaviest snow depends on the track, there are current 3 different senarios on what track the closed upper level low will take.
Scenario#1 - Least likely at this point
The low tracks more north of GA and brings the heaviest snow to the TN Valley and the Western Carolinas, with only flurries maybe in Atlanta, the problem with this scenario is those places may not be cold enough to support snow at first, so that would cut down on any significant accumulations.
Scenario #2 - My favored solution
The low pressure tracks further south into Central AL and GA and brings places like Birmingham,AL Atlanta,GA Columbia,SC the heaviest amounts of snow. There's a 50/50 shot with this scenario, that's good enough for me right now.
Scenario #3 - 50/50 shot
The LP system goes even further south bringing the heaviest snow south of I-20 into places such as Montgomery,AL Columbus,Ga, Macon,Ga just north of Charleston,SC and even north/central Florida could get into some snow shower fun!
I'll have more on this later today, right now I have to run out and get some milk, eggs, and bread!

As always there's some dumbass racing his car up and down our street, the motor is old that everytime he takes off the car screeches really loudly as if he's swerving to keep from crashing into something. Anyone have a gun I can borrow so I can shoot his tires out? I'll pay you back in backrubs.
