clay Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 We are starting a new sensation here at Centennial airport in Denver.... out with fantasy football, in with fantasy WEATHER. It seems the weather men are never right, so we are starting a pot. for us its a $2 buy in, total snowfall through this upcoming front here in Denver. Measured at Denver International Airport. Everyone is getting on board. you should start the same at your place. Quote
ADRidge Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 That's a cool idea, Clay. I have a running bet with my girlfriend on not only what day it will rain, but what time. This past weekend I was off by 2 and a half hours, which is just pitiful. Quote
ScottL Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Another weather contest would be for what the highest sustained wind is going to be on those high wind days... it's usually TAF+20kts it seems Quote

Gomer Pylot Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I'll start a pool for total snowfall measured at HOU for the year, and I get zero. BTW, what's a 'SESNATION'? Edited October 28, 2009 by Gomer Pylot Quote
LeeRider78 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 To Gomer: Don't be too quick about the lack of snowfall at HOU. Remember several years ago when the coast (Galveston to Victoria) received record snowfall and areas N to NW of Conroe were still wearing shorts? I remember that day because I was traveling from Baytown to Bryan/College Station and was ahead of that weird storm. I was listening to the radio and thought "a bunch of nuts" were calling in about snow in Galveston. When I got home, I turned on the news and they were right! More than likely, though, you will probably win the "pot" with a "zero". Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah, I drove home through that just before they closed the roads. Galveston got about a foot. Nothing is guaranteed, but if I have to bet, I'll still bet on zero. Quote
clay Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 I'm from Houston and remember that. . . and a SESNATION is even better than a sensation.... Quote
LeeRider78 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Gomer Pylot: "Yeah, I drove home through that just before they closed the roads. Galveston got about a foot. Nothing is guaranteed, but if I have to bet, I'll still bet on zero." Would you like to "rethink" your bet before this Friday? . . . . . . Quote
Hedge36 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Pecos, TX - January, 2007: I relocated to Odessa when the roads cleared enough to get back to I-20, and sat there for another day before continuing to Atlanta: Notes to self: 1. When the state trooper says "They're calling for ice up ahead" don't assume the guy doesn't know from ice just because you're from Alaska and he isn't. 2. Yes, dummy, it really can snow in Texas.

LeeRider78 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Hedge36,Looks like you had a "refreshing" ride that trip! Nice looking ride. Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 No, I'll stick to zero for HOU. El Paso, Pecos, and Odessa are a long, long way from there. Quote

That bike is not certified for riding into known icing conditions! Quote
Hedge36 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 That bike is not certified for riding into known icing conditions! Feh. For the price, and given the product literature, that machine should butter my toast in the morning. Can't complain. Just hit 55,555 miles today, trouble free. That ice gig wasn't even the worst it's seen so far Quote
