So...

This storm "setup" is going to write a new chapter... IMO

Perhaps some of you may remember a post I made concerning my beliefs concerning storms and the predictions therein.

I said there was IMO the "X" factor.... which I feel overall is not considered... and I know why... for that factor exists mostly only in imagination... for it has never happened to be considered... OR it has been ruled out completely... also because the common belief / conjecture is it cannot or will not happen.

That factor that science and physics cannot see... cannot be factored in due to the fact it does not already exist as fact to be factored in.

This factor obviously would be rare and would skew the conventional thinking / prediction / mathematics end result.

This setup of 2 storms IS that X factor IMO.

Therefore... I am not confident of ANY tracks that are produced after a certain period... and that period... is yet to be determined... also IMO.

The "meeting" of 2 storms LIKE this... IMO... can possibly nullify current predicted paths and write completely new ones that cannot be foreseen due to this unique situation.

I am posting this to be "on record"... that the "computer weather crystal ball"... has a "flaw".. and always will have one until ALL possible scenarios and calculations that could possibly ever be... are considered.

In order to do this... the knowledge / data would have to exist to be already be known and factored in.

Since IMO... mankind's motto is "there is so much yet to be known"... And what I call "mother natures curve ball" IS reality... IS factual.

We are only in the learning stage of yet... this too.

Man has tried to predict the weather since of beginnings and we have gotten reallllly good at it.... but.... like I said... this ALL stems from what we DO know... not from what we don't.



Now... thats out there. :P

Back in 1975, I was 11 years old in Grade 5 and I did a presentation on the weather to our class. It was at this point in my young life, I decided that I wanted to be a Meteorologist. I also decided that I wanted to marry Jenny Williamson one day, but that didn't happen either.

I was completely fascinated by the cloud formations, cloud types, the drop in barometric pressure and how the weather affected our world. Well here it is 45 years later and I'm still interested in the weather, but who could have ever predicted how forecasting would have become such a precise science with the invention of computer radar models and yet there's still so much unpredictability to this science. Well, back then my math was weak and everything in the weather was calculated by hand with math formula's, I guess that's why I became a construction equipment sales rep.

My point for this post... the prediction of the weather is still pretty much a shot in the dark when it comes to trying to determine the path of a hurricane today.

I wish you guys the best of luck and stay safe next week when these monsters hit your state.

Thanks ARC, when I used to drink Rum, coconut rum was my favourite in a Piña colada!

Good job ANTI. That's Purdy cool.

Thanks buddy.
The only real regret I have from back then, is losing touch with Jenny when she moved away after Grade 6.

Dave,

I guess most of us got sidetracked along the way....I never really planned on being in the railroad business either. I believe the term is kismet how fate does what it wants with us.

Thanks for this Bill.

The best advice I give to our 17 year old daughter, is to be 'flexible with the decisions' you make at this point in your life.
Mainly because everything changes, nothing stays the same and there are some things in your life that you just can't control.
All we can do is share our life experiences with our kids, our successes and failures. I'm hoping that's what parenting is all about, because kids these days are a mystery to me.
Anyway, I'm off to do the Saturday morning chores... have a great day everyone!

PS. I'll clean up my finds from yesterday's hunt and post them later today.

That's a cool picture and early inspirations Dave.
I remember you telling me that you wanted to be meteorologist but your head was up in the clouds over Jenny.
