| mr_steve | I finally almost have a decent Awesome config again, and vim is getting there. Still gotta tweak irssi and zsh before this computer feels like home again... | 05:18 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | I still have yet to use irssi | 06:52 |
| tonyyarusso | Heathen. | 06:53 |
| Takyoji | Using Pidgin now, rather than standing Empathy.. | 08:41 |
| Takyoji | At least I can use OTR again | 08:41 |
| Takyoji | and a hell lot more | 08:41 |
| tonyyarusso | ARE YOU READY FOR SOME SNOW?!? | 20:48 |
| ColinHarrington | Ready or not... | 20:48 |
| Takyoji | Thar be moar comin'? | 20:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Wow, Takyoji hasn't turned on a television/radio/computer today, which is odd, since he appears to be talking to us on one. | 20:49 |
| Takyoji | I don't regularly check weather. :P | 20:49 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: Likely over a foot in the Metro, two feet possible in Wisconsin. | 20:49 |
| Takyoji | And I just auto-joined this channel like a few seconds ago after starting my system. :P | 20:50 |
| Takyoji | Ooo | 20:50 |
| tonyyarusso | you're in Faribault still, yes? | 20:50 |
| Takyoji | Yes | 20:51 |
| Takyoji | I usually use wunderground.com as a weather information source | 20:51 |
| tonyyarusso | This model says 10" for you. | 20:51 |
| Takyoji | Ooo | 20:51 |
| ColinHarrington | I'm not used to wunderground | 20:52 |
| ColinHarrington | where do you go to see that? | 20:52 |
| Takyoji | Check the weather for your area, and click the link about the "Blizzard Warning" at the near top | 20:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Right now what I have up is a republishing of it on the Strib's site, http://apps.startribune.com/blogs/user_images/metroaccum.png | 20:53 |
| tonyyarusso | I'll get you the links to the real sources in a second | 20:53 |
| tonyyarusso | First, go to http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/model/index.php?model=eta | 20:58 |
| tonyyarusso | Select each of the hour ranges from 18 to 48. Then click "precipitation". | 20:58 |
| ColinHarrington | cool | 21:00 |
| ColinHarrington | you know, that png was good enough for me atm | 21:00 |
| ColinHarrington | http://apps.startribune.com/blogs/user_images/metroaccum.png | 21:00 |
| tonyyarusso | See also http://www.weather.unisys.com/nam/loop/nam_pres_loop.html | 21:01 |
| ColinHarrington | cool | 21:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Then there's http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/94qwbg.gif | 21:03 |
| tonyyarusso | Those are all giving precipitation amounts in inches of water. You combine it with the temperature to figure out "fluffiness" and get depth of snow. | 21:03 |
| Obsidian1723 | radar.weather.cov and www.dot.state.mn.us are good sites to look at, both real time. | 21:05 |
