WELCOME GATOR Glad to have you with us here at Storm2k. :D Btw, does it ever get above 0 there at Saranac Lake?? With some of the reports I see from there it seems more like the Arctic than the good ole USA!!! :o

M2!!! Are you still dancing?? :?: :o If so please redirect your aim!!! :wink: It's been pouring here and we still have all day tomorrow to go with the present from you and Steve! :( Some areas to our NW have had over 6" of rain today. At the abode in W. Houston I've had 3/4" today + 1" yesterday.

Pojo!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! If you can juggle Calc 1 and ChemII you are one awesome young lady!! Wait!! YOU ALREADY ARE!! I know you will make the right decision re: the Air Force!! I can imagine you looking right smart in an Air Force uniform!!! Next thing you know we'll hear reports of this incredible new AF forecaster making sure all of our troops know exactly what weather they will face as they defend our country. :usa

Hey Rob! You can't steal my Avatar!! I took that picture myself!!!hehehe I bet you hope you look that good in a speedo at my age!! :rofl:

StormCrazyIowan, I must ask that you not talk like that while it is raining here!!! I have steaks and salmon screaming to be let out of the freezer to jump on the grill! :jump:

Man the boats landlubbers!!! Currently raining again at a rate of .36"/hr and training!!! And they said we were gonna catch a break!! :roll: Yeah right!! That was just punctuated by a LOUD roll of THUNDER!! :5:

Well, it is late and I need to get some other things done before I go for my beauty sleep.

Only dance in the morning putting it all together Dave, but the night is time for candles & incense...which have the same effect. Steve currently has rain :wink:

Well, its Calc II and Chem II. (Calculus I wasn't that bad...I had an awesome professor...my current calc II professor is pretty cool too!)
Like I told Garrett earlier, that is only half of the semester classes...the other two are Physics II and Environmental Geology. Environmental Geology, Physics II, Calculus II, and Chemistry II are the classes that I am currently enrolled in for the Spring Semester! That is 17 hard earned credits! Plus on top of working at one of the local YMCA's and volunteering with UWGB Habitat for Humanity, I've been one busy young lady. Over the past couple of days, I have been trying to call the local USAF recruiter about my decision. Unfortunately, he has been unavailable. (I am not giving up though...if I want things bad enough...I get pretty persistent) I called him on Thursday and left a message on his voice mail saying that I would like to talk to him in person, because I still have a few lingering questions. But otherwise, I pretty much have my mind set. When parents and grandparents aren't surprised with my USAF decision, I think that sends a message.

Breeze, you aren't the only one. One of my roommates needs to have a root canal done. She went to the dentist on Wednesday, and well, that is when she found out about the root canal. Oh believe me, she isn't looking forward to the procedure.

As for the temperature...its a balmy 45* in Green Bay! Yes I do mean 45*. But all good things must come to an end. Snow flurries and much, much colder temperatures are expected tomorrow. High is only forecasted to reach 24*. Yikes!!!

This outlook is for central North Carolina for late Saturday morning through Saturday evening...

... There is a moderate risk of severe thunderstorms over southern and eastern sections of central North Carolina Saturday...

... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms elsewhere...

.Skywarn spotters... Skywarn spotter activation may be needed across portions of central North Carolina between 1000 am and 600 PM on Saturday. Spotters are encouraged to report threatening weather of any kind to the National Weather Service.

.Synoptic pattern... A strong low pressure system will move northeast on the west side of the Appalachian Mountains Saturday. Increasingly warm and moist air will feed into the region from the south Saturday as a strong cold front approaches from the west.

.Hazardous weather details... Showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected Saturday. A squall line is expected to develop over the western Piedmont by early afternoon. This line will progress rapidly east across central North Carolina during the afternoon hours. Strong damaging winds will be the main hazard when this line develops.

Law enforcement agencies... emergency management officials... and residents of central North Carolina... should closely monitor the latest conditions and forecasts. Be prepared to take appropriate actions if watches or warnings are issued... or if severe weather is spotted in your area.

Another severe weather outlook will be issued by 1100 PM.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or local media for the latest information from the National Weather Service.

Breeze, you're in my prayers for that root canal, Wxbuddy! :cry:

Well, I hope everyone's having a better day than breeze. The upside to having all the nerves dug out of your tooth is that puppy will never give you an ounce of trouble again. Hope it went okay.

Skywatch - Are you a Skywarn spotter? If so, looks like you may be called to active duty tomorrow.

Well, folks, thanks for the kind words! I have to go back in two weeks to finish up. Right now, the left side of my mouth is drooping and "I tawk fuddy", lol, but, the feeling is starting to come back. I am thankful to
have a wonderful dentist. I've often commented, that, if he cut my head
off, it wouldn't hurt! :ggreen:

Like you said, isobar, it will be good to get those troubles outta that tooth!

Hey ya'll! I only have a few minutes in here to spend so I thought I would take a second and warm up by the fire. What a rainy night looks to be in store for us. Plus, we are under a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday. Looks like 6-10" going to be hammering us here. Can you say fun? :roll:

Everyone have a great weekend and pray for the families of those who have lost friends and family members in the numerous tragic events within the last 24 hours!
