Weather...

[IwantmyMMnow!]

How did the area where MV9 is going to be fare during the rains from Irene?

I know I'm not the only meatier...metior...weather person on MM.net, but figured I'd go ahead and broach the subject of weather.

For those that don't know, I'm a weather forecaster in the Air Force...have been for 20 years (well, the last 16; spent the first 3.5 years observing then went to school for 7 months to learn forecasting) and will be retiring at the end of this year.

I have access to long-range model data and was dorking around earlier today to see if I could get a glimpse of what to expect for MV9. Just a few things to point out:

--Current long-range data only goes out until 12 Oct
--Accuracy this early in the game is probably 25%

What I saw wasn't pretty. Strong low pressure system over southern New England the morning of the 12th with VERY cold air coming in behind from the Great Lakes through the Ohio Valley to the mid-Atlantic coast. How cold? 3-6 inches of snow across most of PA by 8am and another 3-6 inches likely during the day. Wish I was just joking, but I'm not.

But again, accuracy is very low this early and I'm sure the models will change many, many times between now and 2 weeks from now. I will do my best to post an updated forecast by the end of this week; by then, models will go out far enough to encompass the entire event (thru the 16th).

Just don't shoot the messenger...:lol:

What's it look like for Wilmington, N.C. the same weekend?

[Papillon]

WTH?!?!!! :( Well when we were there the same time last year, the weather was PERFECT! Crisp air, highs in the low 60s, not a cloud in the sky the 3 days we were there and sunny, sunny!

I'll be praying for the same this year. Besides I think it's too early to tell and, no offense, I don't trust you weather people. :rolleyes:..... :D

[IwantmyMMnow!]

What's it look like for Wilmington, N.C. the same weekend?

The models I looked at only go to the 12th (Wed). Models depict breezy and cool in Wilmington that day, but sunny skies with temps in the 55-60F range for a high, which is about 20 degrees colder than normal.

I HOPE you are wrong. The last time I went to a meet in Gettysburg, I ran into snow in the higher elevations. NOT GOOD!!

[DOOM]

I knew you had this trait in that feeble mind! :P

I love you Pops! :D :lovies:

[Blackened300a]

Earliest recorded snow in PA was October 19th 1940 and that was less then a inch. You saying we are going for the record during MV9 with up to 6" of snow???? Also the average high temp is 64* and the average low is 44* which isn't quite cold enough for snow fall.

I do not believe ANY weather forecast so I'm calling :bs:

[justbob]

Meh, bring it on.

2 DR's (if I can find some in time) and jack/tools/cleaning products in trunk, 4 snow tires in back seat, suitcase and camera on front seat.

Maybe just bring a damn trailer?

Just two years ago, snow fell across the northern half of PA...Oct 15th-16th. Some areas got as much as 6-8 inches.

Link: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ctp/features/2009/10_16/index.php

Average temperatures are just that...averages. It has been as hot as 88 and as cold as 27 during the period of 12-16 Oct.


This is why we call you guys "Weather Guessers" in the Navy. :D

I agree...it is pretty much guessing, but I can say it's more of an 'educated guess' now than it was 20 years ago...;)

I looked again at the long range model data a little earlier, and it has changed quite a bit already...like I said before, the models will change a dozen times in the next two weeks. It will be interesting to see what the weather is like during MV9 compared to what the models are showing right now...will give me a very good idea how accurate the model data is.

I think your intentions are good. Members that have not made up their minds yet would only be turned off by this info thiis far out. Like other posted weather info should be posted no more than i week out. Not to flame you BUT you of all people should know how fast the weather can change.

If you search past events (big or small) a little rain will not hurt and forcasts of snow unsally do not happen.

Rotate your corn and beans, replace nitrogen in the fall north of Rt 138 in Illinois, fall application of nitrogen not recommended south of Rt 138. Lime application is best in the fall if needed. Harvested corn moisture optimum 14 to 16 % :cowboy:

If the forecast was for where I live, I'd say its possible, but not probable. Southern PA, 240 +/- miles south?, no way.
A couple years ago we did a MM meet at Gettysburg. Later that week at home winter started with IIRC, 18" of wind driven snow. It never ended until the following spring. Such is life in the snow belt. If it snows there we'll have an early Christmas Party! :D

So, I gotta ask a question and don't feel like starting a new thread since this one is getting plenty of attention...

When I bought my MM back in March, the passenger side fog light LENS (the glass piece) was/is busted. I've searched and searched (short of going to a junkyard) off and on since then, trying to find a replacement. If anyone knows where I can get a new/suitable replacement lens piece, please let me know and I'll buy you a beverage of your choice at MV9.

Hey, start a "who's going to Marauderville, and do you have a (any Marauder part) for sale or trade while we are there". There always seems to be tinkering going on in the parking lots when 2 or more Marauders get together, and with 70 gonna be there, I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of spare stuff. Worth a shot.

The extended forcast for Harrisburg, Pa is improving with each day.

As of 2PM, Central time, the weather is - Wednesday and Thursday, 40% chance of rain (that not much), Friday 30%, Saturday 20% (car show day), and Sunday zero percent for rain. The trend seems to get better as the week wears on.

Cheers,

I been monitoring it as well. Im hoping for the best.

Yesterday was beautiful here. We put a coat of Collanite on the car and buffed her out. Looking like another beauty today.

The forecast has changed the last day or so. Wednesday is now a definite rain day, Thursday and Friday remain the same from previous forecasts of scattered wetness. Saturday has been bouncing up and down, right now it's zero chance, same for Sunday.

So I see it as a go for all activities.

[HammerDown]

It's been 80's & sunny here (Baltimore) for the last 3 days

What I saw wasn't pretty. Strong low pressure system over southern New England the morning of the 12th with VERY cold air coming in behind from the Great Lakes through the Ohio Valley to the mid-Atlantic coast. How cold? 3-6 inches of snow across most of PA by 8am and another 3-6 inches likely during the day. Wish I was just joking, but I'm not.

Your long range forecast was only off by 2 weeks .....

Here is what is happening in Hershey, PA today 29 October 2011 ....

"Snow and rain this morning...then snow this afternoon. Snow may be heavy at times this afternoon. Snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches. Colder with highs in the mid 30s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph...becoming north this afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent."

[Ms. Denmark]

Snowing at my house...

[rayjay]

Snowing at my house...

We had ours Thursday night and some of it is still here. Now a nor'easter? They are saying it will just graze our area. Ya right... :rolleyes: Guess I better go make sure the snowblower runs, not that we are going anywhere on summer tires.

1800 hrs, the snow shield is about 8 miles south of us and headed this way... Rat farts!

[Bluerauder]

Just rain here today. Temp is still 39.9*F. May get some sleet later as the temps keep dropping. I think Gordon and Chris are already on the edge of the snow band up near Frederick and Hagerstown. Even for this area, I think it is a tad early for snow at the end of October. Squirrels have been gathering nuts since late August. Do they know something that we don't?

[guspech750]

Hmmmmmmm. I just hopefully mowed my grass for the last time last night.

Interesting how you didn't quote my ENTIRE post, especially the part about me saying there was a low probability the long range models would be accurate.

Believe me, I was VERY happy that the models (and I, FWIW) were wrong...but I'm sure if it had snowed, we would've found a way to still have fun. Could've had a snowman contest, made a ton of snow cream, and I'm sure quite a few individuals would've been up for making 'yellow' snow...:lol:

(Well, PINK in Doom's case) :P

[Bigdogjim]

Yeah and just think of the snowballs you did not get tossed your way:lol:

[cruzer]

Today a group of Marauder owners enjoyed temps ranging from 45-65 with clear skies and light winds (Centerville 2011). We've had a rough Summer--broke records for most days above 100 degrees and have forgotten what rain looks like--but today made us forget . My 21 years on Long Island gave me plenty of experience with snow, hurricanes and Nor'easters--I'll take Texas overall. You folks have fun playing in the snow while I enjoy watching the sunset from my patio. Seriously, stay safe and warm, Maury

No doubt...I probably would've ended up looking like a snowman myself....a yellow snowman!
