hey Raven,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

1978 was a Snow Storm, ne c'est pas???

so how does 10" of rain become such a cause for
"notice" other than the flooding factor?

will it be cold enuff for snow when she arrives, and
if so then 10" of rain = 60" of snow, right? THEREFORE;

I just went on Ebay and ordered a Holstein Cow. The milk ain't free so I figured with the "Big Storm" and all! Heck, it can mow my lawn if this turns out to be a poor prognostication!

[Raven]

Canal man is right on target--> a voice of reason at last

haven't you noticed how many volcano's are happening over seas lately???

i have.........

the volcano erupting in Alaska will be a contributing factor i'm sure...

with global warming you have essentially global melting......
more fresh water sitting on top of salt water equals more evaporation which equals more precipitation or rainfall

We have been lulled into a false sense of security concerning
our weather patterns for the last 25 years i'd say...
that may be about to change.... <---

i can remember a storm in the late 50's where the snow was up to the second story window sill of our house out in the back....
these youngins have no concept other than the storm of "78 "

~ but
of course the same thing can be said about hurricanes
and the big one in 38 didn't teach us a dammed thing
we did not learn.... we are sitting ducks with so many homes on our coastline now,,,,

i know you find it hard to believe that the "Boy crying WOLF"

the biggest art prankster here ....could actually be right- i dunno ??
and hey...i can't blame you...

but, i couldn't have a clear conscience if i had never said anything
especially if i learned someone not prepared had died.....

i was told this by a very serious native American Indian

so - what's it gonna hurt?

to have some extra cans of beans
bottled water, steaks, and necessities in the house or flash lights
with working batteries HUH?

i live this survival business every single damn day ...
and when i sit in front of my wood stove in a burnt rocking chair
i can still see my breath in these frigid temperatures.

i always say ...what if... and look at the worst case scenario

half the wood is in - a 1/2 cord or so...

ok back to work

[Raven]

good job !


remember when katrina was mis- managed on the forecast

and it caught many by surprise........

Rav, when it comes to weather events, believe me, I take the world serious -

Outside of old fish pictures, the other thing I collect is stuff regarding the '38 Hurricane - I've got the actual ProJo printed on September 22, 1938, it's amazing to read it - and I grew up hearing that stuff from my parents and the rest of my family and their friends here in Newport.

And no, wisenheimer, I wasn't there at the time...

But I do remember Carol in '54 and it scared the crap out of me as a little kid - some pretty vivid memories for a 5 year old going around with my dad after it passed -

Missed the '78 Blizzard, though - I had just driven to FL with a buddy that week and the day it hit I was sitting in Palm Beach nursing a sunburn and drinking a cold beer...

its actually a 10-1 ratio....so 100 inches of snow.

Can't wait to break the news to my son

[Raven]

after 3 or 4 feet --- what does it matter?

yeah one inch of rain equals about 1 foot of snow - supposedly

so there fore 10 inches equals 10 feet of snow

this is what i was told Crafty from a good guy

who has a reputable source in the business

of weather forecasting... anonymously

it would be irresponsible for me not to inform you

i don't joke around about this kind of stuff.
highlight below this sentence and above this line
Look for a super down pressure off the pacific coast

back to bringing in the wood

thanks for setting me straight on that Kev,
used to think that it was the other way around.

lemeee seeee,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
that translates to 100", orrr

8 FEET; 4inches of the white stuff.
we're gonna need a bigger ARK and
snow removal of EPIC proportions!!!

better get out there and beat the Home Depot
RUUUN on generators,,,,,,,,,,,,power cords, igloo access's.

[Crafty Angler]

Okay - looks like I'll be monitoring the weather channel...

There is a cold front right behind the low system due here Monday...

Gonna stay at DefCon 3 until it hits the news...

Until then I'll just go inventory milk and bread reserves for now -
