Good Morning Lodge.



Yeah, except with the coincident dewpoints we are seeing, the load on our AC systems is conservatively 40% over design conditions for the outside air component, therefore about 25% over total design capacity. And by the way, under law we are limited to using historic design conditions for our designs, even though we know they are no longer valid. The component that is way over our historic design condition is the dewpoint, or wet bulb, temperature, i.e. the humidity component which is the single largest component. So our clients are calling us, the contractors, and the equipment vendors to complain that the systems don't work.

Can you repeat the part of the stuff where you said all about uuhhh, things?

Kidding. Basically, the dew point is more than your machines can handle, which sucks.

Edit: I don't ignore the sirens. That's my cue to go take a peek outside. :p

In his case, if things get truly bad, he can just jump inside and close his storm door.

People outside away from a substantial shelter are screwed if they don't take immediate action when the sirens go off. Depending on how fast the storms are moving, you may only have a few minutes' notice before hail, a tornado, or straight line winds gusting over 60 mph arrive. The main hazards are lightning and downed trees - both of which kill and injure quite a few people each year.

Today looks like it will be *slightly* cooler than yesterday (thanks to the storm that hit and knocked our temperature into the 60s). Tomorrow and Thursday will likely be the hottest days we'll see all year. Thursday also marks the likely end of the heat as a cold front is expected to come through that night. With all the moisture and heat in place, severe weather is possible but will likely be spotty due to the lack of upper level dynamics (unless an MCS can form). Friday should be a bit cooler, and it might also be stormy if the front gets hung up in the vicinity (it's unclear at this point how quickly it will clear the area).

This was the weather report for tomorrow:

As we celebrate America's Birthday, we'll start with clouds and showers in the morning. Then we'll see a mix of sun and clouds, then a round of thunderstorms during the evening. Here's how it works: The more sunshine we see from 11am to 4pm, then more storms and severe storms we'll see during the evening. If we can't shake the clouds midday, then we'll have fewer thunderstorms and all the evening plans should go off without a hitch. That's what we'll be watching tomorrow.

Why stress over it? There's obviously nothing you can do about it...
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #152: Next to get married?

I've never heard sirens at my house. At my parents house, I have, but not since then.

Where I live now is much more populated than at home, and there's a siren about 200 yards from my parents front door.

Maybe one of their neighbors asked for its installation. All of the sirens I've seen over the years have been in actual neighborhoods with dozens / hundreds of houses within earshot.

Right, but no matter how much she worries about it, she's not going to change the weather, so the way I look at it is, there's no reason to get stressed about it. If it rains, yeah, ****ty, but what are you going to do? Sometimes it rains when you don't want it to.

I would be very surprised if there aren't 100 households that would be in earshot of a siren if it was right in front of my house. There are almost 20,000 people in Ham Lake and probably double that in Andover. This isn't exactly rolling prairie or neverending swampland as far as the eye can see...there are many, many houses.

Yes, for two of the services, anyway. She also tunes our piano. Nice lady! Friend of yours?

Full moon and just a beautiful night on the Tennessee River. Easily my favorite waterway, haven't been up here since Thanksgiving. Man, I love my job on nights like this.

Just looking at the map, it sure looks narrow getting onto that river (in Paducah, that is). Maybe it's bigger in person, but I can't imagine driving barges through there.

Sounds like the low-flo toilets. Homeowners know they don't work, contractors for sure know they don't work -- but we have a law. (So how does the law save the planet if it takes three flushes?)
