Look up JackOlsen/BlackBeauty or Widebody911 or others on the Technical Forum side.
They crashed (more than once) and rebuilt into something better.

The noon weather report said there is a blizzard warning for a band right below where the jet stream is now...almost to the Gulf of America. :D

A couple of my cousins used to live in Minot, ND. Just out of curiosity, I checked the weather for Minot yesterday. When I checked which was something like 2-3 in the afternoon, the temp was -11, and the predicted low for last night/this morning was -25. Today (now) the temp is 20 with a predicted high of 29. That's a fargin' crazy swing from -25 to 30 in 24-36hrs.

Well, it is just starting to snow here in Opelika, Alabama. My shift at Kia has been canceled for the day, so with that said, I'm going to enjoy this snow day with a nap!!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dfca35e86c.jpg

I was talking with a guy I know in Grand Forks yesterday. He said it was -15 out... YIKES. I told him "serves ya right!"

Can't we just build a huge retractable dome stadium around the whole country and have complete climate control? I mean that just seems too easy! :)

masraum 01-21-2025 11:56 AM

We're up to 38º now. Winning! Tiger's Blood!

AdvisoryWinter Storm Enzo Update as of 3pm, January 21, 2025: Additional cold weather shelter open, safety. Just received this from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s office. Apparently now it has a name…Enzo. I think insurance company’s have some kind of advantage when it’s a “named storm”.

I’m connecting through ATL, it’s freaking snowing here. Can’t escape it!

Well, it was barely snowing when I took my nap, woke up a couple of hours later to this winter wonderland!!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8d66b6bac8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...db279a4b33.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bb49a0d928.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5b3a2bbd3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d249d074b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c843e2d1d0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...69c1794ba8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a48252e88.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3f504932e.jpg

You got more snow that I did but probably not quite as much as the kids that are about 100 miles closer to the Gulf.

HobieMarty 01-21-2025 03:36 PM

I saw that they were getting a lot of snow on the beach in Gulf Shores. My sister lives in Defuniak Springs, Florida, in the panhandle, and she also had a lot of snow. I measured 2 inches deep in some spots.

Upon learning that perspective, it became quite necessary to stifle a hearty guffaw sir
