Subj : Re: Resend moving or not To : Daryl Stout From : Nancy Backus Date : Sun Jun 21 2020 20:48:08 -=> Quoting Daryl Stout to Nancy Backus on 15-Jun-2020 09:56 <=- DS> Saturday night, a "backdoor cold front" (moved from northeast to DS> southwest across the state...instead the "normal" west to east, or DS> northwest to southeast) sent out an "outflow boundary", causing DS> thunderstorms to develop. One cell sat over downtown and midtown Little DS> Rock, and DUMPED it's 500,000 tons of water. I got very little rain at DS> my location, but with lightning nearby, I was offline for a few hours. Could have been worse.... but better safe than sorry... ;) NB>> No sirens here, I don't get alarms on my cellphone... and of course NB>> I'm not watching the TV... ;) But the NWS does break in to my radio NB>> program if there is some weather threat in the region... DS> The people around here have called in death threats to the TV DS> stations, because they broke in with a tornado warning that wasn't for DS> their area. What they refuse to accept is that the TV station doesn't DS> just serve their county, and it proves that they are selfish. The NWS breaks in to my radio station, often with warnings for places actually outside the station's range, but while I shake my head at it, I just figure that it's part of what one lives with... ;) NB>> When I checked this morning it was still stuck on May 17th... I check NB>> regularly just in case something knocks it unstuck... ;) DS> We have to quit using glue in our QWK packets. Ah, but this isn't anything in the messaging... this is telnet to Weather Underground's forecast... and it's still stuck on May 17th.... NB>> Lately, at least for here, norway seems to not be all that accurate NB>> temperature wise... whether I look at it in F or in C degrees... NB>> Richard got me going to weather.gov which is similar to wUnderground NB>> (since it gets info from there anyway when it's working)... that gives NB>> fairly current temperature, as well as a week's out forecast... :) DS> I use weather.gov exclusively, as the National Weather Service is DS> the only one authorized to issue watches, warnings, and advisories. There are slight differences between the various sources, both in what they issue and in how they present it.... Weather.gov at least seems to be accurate... :) BM>> I used to eat raisins as a snack; past several years no, though still BM>> put a ton in my oatmeal or top the cereal -- "you want cereal with BM>> your raisins?" could work! NB>> I still eat them as a snack on occasion... we keep them in the house NB>> for that and for cooking with... ;) DS> I like them, but they're like prunes to me. :P I had a friend that was like that... whenever we needed to get her guts moving, we'd give her raisins... ;) Or another things that worked for her was applesauce.... ;) ttyl neb ....
