Make me stop obsessively checking weather.com

[SallyMander]

My wedding date just snuck into the 10-day forecast... now i am obsessed! :rofl:

Convince me that forecasts this far out are baloney and i should get some actual work done...

:hi:

Looks clear through Monday for ya.

:P

[SallyMander]

13. LOL! Thanks

But i'm in Massachusetts! :D

[kentauros]

21. Really?

I guess it's about time to update a profile thar

I use the NOAA/NWS sites for all weather info. No ads, no "weathermen anchors" and so on :)

[SallyMander]

22. Well i live in Cbus

But we're getting married in MA (where i grew up). Got it? :D

OK, gotta go check the weather... ;)

2. Forecasts that far out are baloney and you should get some work done

[SallyMander]

4. Really? I think you have a good point.

Thanks!


:rofl:

[texanwitch]

5. I just check the Weather Channel every couple of hours.

We won't know for a few days what will happen.

Can't do anything about it.

Just going to relax and enjoy the convention tonight.

[SallyMander]

6. Well, you guys along the gulf have bigger concerns than i do!

Nothing big headed towards the northeast - i'm just being a goofy bride. But i'd take a big fat downpour if it could somehow avert destruction down south.

Stay safe! Are you right on the coast? Planning to evacuate? :hug:

[texanwitch]

7. I am about 50 miles in land.

I am staying, my house was built for hurricanes.

That is how old houses down here were built.

I am getting ready just in case we get hit.


We will have guests coming over so we will have plenty of company including the furry kind.

By the time the hurricane gets to Houston, it should be blown out a little.

This isn't my first major hurricane.

[SallyMander]

8. Just saw your post in philboy's thread

Sounds like you know the drill! Glad to hear that you are all prepared and have friends coming too. Keep us updated on how things are going, ok?

[texanwitch]

11. Sure will.

We will lose power, that will not be fun.

The generator will keep the freezer cold, maybe a fan or two.

Every state has something that happens, we have hurrcicanes.

9. Weather.com is malware! All weather sites download viruses and spyware!

Besides, you can't control the weather, bridezilla. :hi:

[SallyMander]

14. Haha, thanks Gormy!

Bridezilla??? :blush:

[appal_jack]

24. Silly Gormy!

Sally won't be a bridezilla... she's gonna be a brideamander! :P

Different genus altogether - much cuter and friendlier, not at all carnivorous like those bridezillas. :scared:

The taxonomy of various brides is, alas, a sorely neglected area of modern science.

:P
-app

[Gormy Cuss]

25. Brideamander!

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

28. LOL!

I'll get right on that - once i finish my dissertation. :D

:loveya:

[begin_within]

12. OMG - did you see the map that Weather.com has up right now?

[SallyMander]

15. You guys are BAD!

:spank:

[begin_within]

16. Seriously that must be a mistake - I have never seen that low of pressure over the ocean

[SallyMander]

19. ...

:spray:


So mean!!!!

[begin_within]

20. and you can put Weather.com on your desktop!

Then you'll never be apart from it!

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Instead, you should

obsessively check Weather Underground.

Weather.com is run by a right-winger who doesn't believe in global warming, and it's always wrong. WUnderground apparently has many more reporting stations, one of which is about half a mile from me, so when it's 102 here it doesn't say it's 84 like weather.com does.

[SallyMander]

18. I've checked Weather Underground too

I never knew that about weather.com - that is crazy!!! :o


:hi:

[SPKrazy]

23. 10 days out are based on near astrology computer models

so cheer up

bring an umbrella

:hug: :hug:

[SallyMander]

29. Umbrella?????

:scared:


:scared:


:scared:

26. Just heard a meterologist on the radio today

talking about the hurricanes. She said that 10-day forecasts were notoriously unreliable.

Are you having an outdoor wedding?

We got married on September 8- outdoors, with tents. It was the most gorgeous day ever- low 70s, bright blue skies. Hope you have the same luck!

[SallyMander]

30. That sounds lovely!

I hope we have something just like that. Yup, we'll be outdoors, but we have a tent for the reception and as a back-up location for the ceremony. Right now the forecast looks great, so i'm hoping it's reliable in this case. :D

Where was your wedding?

:hi:

[Redstone]

27. I'd do exactly the same, were I in your place.

Redstone

[SallyMander]

31. Aha! Encouragement from Redstone!

Back to NOAA... :rofl:

[Monk06]

32. Obsessively read Sarah Palin threads on GD-P

Here's some mood music to go along with it.

[SallyMander]

34. Oh, i'm doing that too

No worries... and LOL to the musical accompaniment! :rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. They are baloney, y'know...

:hug:

Besides, rain is good luck!

[SallyMander]

35. True enough

My only real concern is for the people who are traveling long distances and have never seen the coast before - i want them to be able to hang out on the beach! :D


:hug:

[applegrove]

36. Congrats on your big day!
