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.

The havy snow is inching south - keep praying.

This is frustrating, as I have been hoping for a major snow event. Just not now......

Thanks for the reminder. I'll call Nels and Matt this morning.

Chairman, you were right about our weather. It's been raining since last night and I think the temp would have to drop a good 10 degrees to turn to snow.

Rivendell, nice poem. I think it's the first time I've read it, although it did seem kind of familiar.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Get those cards mailed today, UG.

We have to go pay our internet bill today. We missed a month somehow and last night when I was having problems checking e-mail and getting online, I was afraid it was because we didn't pay our last month's bill.

I'm really glad I could send our Christmas letter by e-mail. I've been hearing from so many people since then. My 87-year-old uncle wrote a really nice e-mail back to us yesterday. He's my dad's older brother and amazes me with what he can do. He's a widower, but keeps busy and has an active social life. I can't imagine my dad learning anything about the computer. He did just drive from Branson, Missouri back here yesterday, though.

Leaving now. I need to run and get a few stocking stuffer items, and run by the shop to fill a couple of sprayers with this new de-icer we will more than likely be testing tonight. :-(

If I don't get back on in time, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

I've just been reading that article about the Russian city that put the face of Jesus on their flag. I spent almost two months in a city in Ukraine in 1999 and discovered that their city symbol was a Jewish star of David over a crescent moon. I was told that it was predominantly a Jewish city and their symbol represented Judaism conquering Islam. There are very few Jews there now and probably no Muslims, but I didn't hear any Christians complaining about the symbols.

You're welcome kassie.

The thing is, I know that the folks here at ATRW don't need to be reminded to keep our brave service men and women in their thoughts and prayers, because we do this every day.

But sadly, the people who do need to be reminded, wouldn't understand, and simply wouldn't care (and I don't think I could tolerate the sites they frequent anyhow) so I post it here where I know it will be appreciated for what it is...

When I was a child there wasn't anything I likes much better than watching Bob Hope's USO tours. Even at that young age I was touched my our servicemen's smiles of appreciation. They never asked for much, but gave plenty. God bless them.

Thank you.

Good morning Lysie. I had to laugh at your comment on yesterdays' thread about Raymond,and how Marie is like your m-i-l. She is so much like my m-i-l too. We never miss that show!

Hi, kassie. My Hubby is a cross between Raymond and Robert...being the oldest he seems to get the shaft like Robert. However, in other departments he's like Raymond. LOL

I'm NOT at all like Debra or so I think. :-)

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas, kassie.

lysie - Bob Hope is without a doubt a national treasure. He will be truly mourned and missed when he passes on to his final reward by all of us, past, present and future who served and can never thank him enough for all he did for our men and women in uniform.

LOL I amazed you understood my post. Yikes!! Way too many typos in that one.

Let's see...I've had plenty of coffee. Can't use that as an excuse. I guess I'll just have to admit...I goofed. :-)

Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, too,Riv.

Errands calling. Back later. God Bless you ALL.

Love you my friends, lysie.
