OT: Severe Weather Discussion III

[Tres Peleches]

My friend is a big severe weather guy, going storm chasing with him in June, COVID allowing. Apparently the analogs for this coming season are big tornado years in the Plains

My wife is angling for a job in their Florida office. If she gets it, we are gone.

Like all you will see is a Road Runner dust cloud in our wake gone.

Unfortunately my work is very dependent on living in close enough proximity to rich people, so it won’t really get me a much cheaper place to live. But I’d suck it up and figure something else out though. My fiancé on the other hand, doesn’t wanna move.

I’d love to live near Richmond.

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, young man. You won't regret it.

I have family that lives in Fuquay Varina, pretty sure that is semi close to Raleigh. I was looking at South Carolina as well but anywhere cheaper and warmer is good to me!

 

[ScaredStreit]

I cannot wait. I graduated last year and somehow got a teaching job here so I am going to stay here for another 2-3 years and save up money first.

8th year teaching here...first year is tough enough but toss Covid on top? Jeez rough first year for sure.

Everyone is tempted by Florida in February - Winter would have to be 8 months for me to deal with those imbeciles down there full time.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I cannot wait to move south.

Made the move to Charlotte in October 2018. Met a nice southern lady. Never looked back.

Oh and we have a good Isles group here.

Yes, Fuquay is about a 15 minute drive south of downtown Raleigh. Cary and North Raleigh have the most transplanted northerners. It's a great place to live. Housing has been going up and up, but I'm sure is still a lot cheaper than NY. And property taxes for a 2000 sq foot house is around $3000 in the Raleigh area.

Yep I'm in my 17th , pretty surreal to start out now....

NY is like an anchor for teachers...its tough but that pension keeps me here, I'd have moved long ago but I'd be working at Publix for a side hustle at 75 in FLA with the way they pay teachers...

Started a bit ago as a long term leave and then it transitioned into a full time position. First year has been fun, I have had the support I need, but just enjoying it in general. I luckily have a really good class this year as well.

I have been looking at South Carolina only because I worry by the time I am ready to move in 2-3 years North Carolina will be too expensive for me. I do plan on looking into North Carolina extensively to see if it makes sense financially when I am ready to go. I have quite a bit of family that lives down there.

Facts. I went out and gave myself a Gamestop bonus cause the NYC DOE is never giving teachers a bonus


Also on topic: I bought an EGO snowblower because I'm over this winter already and am planning my NC golf retirement.

My wife is from Florida and I spent many years down there, so we are used to it.

That said, every area has more idiots these days.

The key is to find places where the moron population isn't as think and stick to it.

 

[Riseonfire]

Have you used any of these?

 

[danteipp]

So, what are we looking at in terms of weather tomorrow and Friday?

Anyone have a forecast they feel confident in sharing right now for the LI, NYC, Northern NJ and lower CT areas?

havent used an electric snowblower.


Don’t think I can do it.

Florida is basically the opposite of New York..... Which makes me love it.

Electric snowblower...

I think 4-8 is a good bet, looks like we will see a burst tomorrow morning into early afternoon, then some sleet and slop through friday morning then maybe a bit more snow on the back end...

Physically? I think even you can manage to push one of these, although maybe some training with some pushups in chains is in order first.

It's nutty out there on the roads. Be safe everyone!

Been shoveling for the last hour, f*** the snow!

Just stopped snowing in northeast Queens. Seems to be around 5 inches of powder. Skiers delight.
