AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 703) [Remember the Trade Center!!]
Various News Sources and FReepers | December 24, 2002 | All of Us

Posted on 12/24/2002 4:37:41 AM PST by Chairman_December_19th_Society

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!

Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

WINTER STORM #4 - UPDATE

Discussion--

Low pressure center is currently centered over extreme NE MS, near AL border, about 50 miles south of common border with TN. Movement is toward the NE.

Second LP center will develop off C. Lookout, NC, this afternoon, and strengthen rapidly. Conditions are favorable for this system to bomb out as there is a confluence of the southern and polar jets about 200 miles off Sandy Hook; however, warm air parked over too much of the eastern seaboard may mitigate this effect.

Nevertheless, much moisture is available to the system. QPF figures of 1.5 inches are showing up in extreme SW ME, extreme SE NH, the eastern half of MA, all of RI, and all but the NW corner of CT. In addition, a 1.5" QPF figure is also forecast for the southern Catskills of NY. Assuming melt ratio of 10:1 to 15:1 for this system. This means there are locations in the storm track that may see in excess of 20" of snow. Prepare accordingly.

Areas that have QPF figures of 1.0 inches that are north of the 850mb 0C line include NE PA, NY east of the Finger Lakes and south of the Adirondack shield, the southern halves of VT and NH, and SW ME (excepting those areas previously mentioned as bounded by a QPF isohyet of 1.5"). These areas may expect, on average, between 10 and 15" of snow.

The 850mb 0C line (the "rain/snow line") has been repositioned a little further to the north - Rockland and Westchester counties in NY will not see much snow.

Winter storm watches are in effect for virtually all of PA, NY, and New England, except the extreme north of ME. Winter storm watches are also in effect in NW NJ and eastern OH.

This system has the potential of becoming a dangerous winter storm, appropriation preparations should be made.

Forecast-December 24--

Rain moving into the Carolinas and Virginia (later). In Virginia, this precipitation may also be snow or sleet in higher elevations.

Forecast-December 25--

Rain changing to snow in northern Virginia as the system pulls out by early afternoon. Rain likely coastal areas DE/NJ, snow elsewhere in NJ as day moves on. Coastal areas of NY likely to see sleet or rain/snow mix. Interior areas of PA/NY and all of NE likely to see heavy snow Wednesday, tapering off in the small hours of Thursday. Accumulations well beyond 12" are possible - 20" are not out of the picture. Southern Catskills, and large portions of New England should prepare for the possibility of total storm drops exceeding two feet.

Advise monitoring local news and NOAA Weather Radio for updates in this serious weather event.

*************************************

In the news:

Secretary Rumsfeld warned North Korea yesterday that America has the forces to fight and win wars in two theaters at once.

United States experts still fear "catostrophic" attacks by Al Qa'eda, saying the groups ingenuity level is as high as ever.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Since the Saints have pretty much eliminated themselves, I only hope that San Francisco or Atlanta doesn't win. But, like I was telling Mr. Mulliner last night, if McNabb comes back, the Eagles will roll.

I feel like ai wrestled a goat, went to WalMart with d, goodness gracious, what a circus. Folks running, me looking but not finding (like a lot of others), getting BIG sacks of chips for nibbling on that spinich dip, and yep, forgot to get the celry so that meant running to the local and If would have had to pay 12 dollars a stalk, I would have some 12 dollar celery. Oh well, its Christmas, it time for sharing, a time to be together, that time to cook. I am only thankful I live in a country where I can fight the crowds in a Walmart and was born here by design from the good Lord above.

But for tonight, gd ask me to come and watch some mouse movie with her 'Chicken little' or something like that and so, I have me a very important date on tap.

If I don't get back on may I wish each and every one of you and your spose as well a most Merry Christmas and that we all remember just what Christmas is and we give thanks to Him for allowing us to be who we are and what we are. I can honestly say that all of ya'll have been my leaning post in my most trying moments and know that you are my friends, some of the best I have ever had. May God Bless you and keep you safe from illness and injuries. Thank you.

........Twas The Night Before Christmas......
Twas the Night Before Christmas,
He lived all alone,
In a one-bedroom house made of
Plaster and stone.

I had come down the Chimney,
With Presents to give,
And to see just who,
In this Home did live.

I looked all about,
A strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no Presents,
Not even a Tree.

No Stocking by Mantle,
Just Boots filled with sand.
On the wll hung Pictures,
Of far distant Lands.

With Medals and Badges,
Awards of all kinds,
A sober thought
Came throught my mind.

For this House was different,
It was Dark and Dreary,
I found the face of a Soldier,
Once I could see clearly.

The Soldier lay sleeping,
Silent, Alone,
Curled up on the floor,
In this one-bedroom Home.

The Face was so Gentle,
The room in such Disorder,
Not how I pictured,
A Active Duty Soldier.

Was this the Hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a Poncho, the floor for a bed?
I realized the Families,
That I saw this Night,
Owed their Lives to these Soldiers,
Who were willing to fight.

Soon round the World,
The Children would Play,
And Grownups would Celebrate,
A Bright Christmas Day.

They all enjoyed Freedom,
Each Month of the Year,
Because of the Soldiers,
Like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wonder,
How many lay Alone,
On a Cold Christmas Eve,
In a Land far from Home.

The very thought,
Brought a Tear to my Eye,
I dropped to my knees,
And started to Cry.

The Soldier awakened,
And I heard a Rough Voice,
" Santa don't cry,
This is my lifes Choice;

I fight for Freedom,
I don't ask for more,
My life is my God,
My Country, My Corps."

The Soldier rolled over,
And drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it,
I continued to Weep.

I kept Watch for hours,
So Silent and Still,
And we both Shivered,
From the Cold Night's Chill.

I didn't want to leave,
On that Cold, Dark Night,
And this Guardian of Honor,
So willing to fight.

Then the Soldier rolled over,
with a Voice Soft and Pure,
Whispered, " Carry on Santa,
It's Christmas Day, all is Secure."

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right

" MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."


This poem was written by a Peace Keeping Soldier stationed overseas.
His request was simple....send this to as many people as you can.....I think I can leave it in YOUR hands.

A Savior is born. Peace on earth and goodwill to men.

You're probably getting the same front we had yesterday. Very nasty weather that cleared out late last night. After that, the temp started dropping. It was in the mid 60's around 7 this morning, but it started dropping soon after. We're in the mid 40's now, and supposed to get into the low 30's tonight. Louisiana: if you don't like the weather, come back in 20 minutes, it'll change. 8^)

Sent this out last year and again last week. This time I've had a number of replies asking me to be sure and e-mail this again next year as a reminder of what we should all be thankful for.

Merry Christmas to each and everyone at ATRW.

I'm going fire up the VCR. I feel like watching manly movies this evening. What'll it be? Terminator 2 has the Schwarzannegarian quality, but Spartacus is good too. I kinda dozed through Gladiator earlier, but the scenes between Commodus and his sister always make me queasy. YUK!

43 years of memories are forever there, in the mornings, the afternoons, the nights and they get more precious each day.
