PompeyVillan Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Two pints of cider and I'm ready for bed. What happened to me? I ain't cut out for drinkin' like before. I'm the same, I've had 3 glasses of wine and I've almost had enough. Not drunk, just really don't feel like drinking any more. In uni days I'd drink a bottle of wine before I went out... (well, the two times I did that I puked in my wash basked full of clothes (ruined) and the other I woke up semi naked with a hotdog and ketchup smeared all over my bathroom, a hazy memory and bad hangover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted October 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2012 Looks like a decent chance of catching a hurricane this weekend Looks like a weekend of watching Jim Cantore and Stephanie Abrams for me... Tryin' to reason with hurricane season... Here we go again, though this one is more of a repeat of the Perfect Storm (extratropical storm absorbs a weak late-season hurricane and turns into a major Nor'easter. Waiting for the 8pm EDT NHC advisory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted October 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2012 The Euro and American models of this storm are converging on a near-direct hit of New York City.I believe Google has postponed the announcement of the next version of Android and the new Nexus devices due to the storm.

leviramsey Posted October 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2012 5 reasons Sandy could be epic 1. A Northbound Hurricane Hurricane Sandy is moving very slowly toward the north-northeast and is expected to continue its current path parallel to the Carolinas over the weekend, forecasters say. At some point, probably Monday, Sandy will begin to turn back toward the coast and eventually make landfall near Delaware or New Jersey. At some point before or after landfall, it's expected to become what's known as an extratropical storm. Unlike a tropical system like a hurricane, which gets its power from warm ocean waters, extratropical systems are driven by temperature contrasts in the atmosphere. During its transition from tropical to extratropical, Sandy could be getting energy from both sources, helping to develop it even further. Although Sandy is currently a hurricane, it's important not to focus too much on its official category or its precise path. It's a massive system that will affect a huge swath of the East Coast, regardless of exactly where it hits or its precise wind speed. 2. Early winter storm As part of Sandy’s transition to an extratropical storm, it is expected to merge with a wintry system from the west, at which point it will become the powerful superstorm that has forecasters and officials all along the Eastern Seaboard on edge. Winds from that western system, which left snow in Kila, Mont. shown above, are what will help pull Sandy back toward the U.S. mainland from the open waters of the Atlantic. 3. Arctic air from the north Frigid air coming south from Canada also is expected to get ingested into Sandy, which will only help to strengthen the storm further and create winter storm conditions for some in the storm’s path. Officials are bracing for the worst: nearly a foot of rain, high winds and up to 2 feet of snow in the highest parts of the Appalachian Mountains from West Virginia to North Carolina. 4. High tides could worsen flooding Further complicating matters is the possibility for dangerous storm surges: A full moon means the tides will be higher than usual, which will make it easier for the storm's powerful winds to push water into low-lying areas. That, coupled with the very long periods of battering waves along some parts of the shore due to the immense size of Sandy and the threat of several inches of rain, has officials working to shore up flood and coastal defenses. 5. Snow-wind combo increases risk for power outages Storms in recent years have left hundreds of thousands of people along the East Coast without power, sometimes for days at a time. Utilities have been bringing in extra crews and lining up tree trimmers so they're prepared, and with good reason. The superstorm brings two possibilities for knocking out electricity. For one, hurricane-force winds of at 74 mph could send tree branches into power lines, or even topple entire trees and power poles. Those left standing could succumb to snow, which could weigh down still-leafy branches enough to also topple trees. Millions of people are expected to lose power at some point during Sandy and many of those folks will likely not have power restored for many days.

Shillzz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 'Reckon it's probably a juvenile seagull. Though there's no such thing as a seagull, so it'd have to be something like a Herring Gull, or more likely, a Common gull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The hurricane just toppled my next door neighbor's 30 foot tree...luckily it landed away from his house Only a matter of time before the power goes out See yas later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted October 29, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2012 ...and the hurricane isn't due to hit Boston for hours......this is likely to be a record-breaking storm for most of the Northeast US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here in Central VA we are just getting shedloads of rain and are due for heavier winds later, but hopefully nothing too dramatic. Having watched several webcams of places along the east coast, I do not envy anyone in the storm's main path. From what I have seen of the New York/New Jersey area, they are getting pounded and the water is already surging, and the damn storms worst parts have barely even reached it yet.
