oneshot Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Get a call from a Supervisor. What is the weather doing? I don't know. Oh you haven't been told you are New Weather Chief. Ok call you back. So check two different radars telling me two diffent things. Went with my gut feeling.WRONG! System decided to do the opposit. Had to go to the office. Kept getting text from Old Weather Chief telling me how bad a job I was doing. I was told don't pay him no mind. So now need to upload some stuff on my phone and computer. oneshot
MOPanfisher Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Just use the National Weather Service, they kind of do it for a living. Nick Adams and tjm 2
jdmidwest Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Watch the TV, it the only thing on anymore. Schools were closed, business let off early last week for the big rainstorm that they hollered about for 4 days. Heard one thunderclap and only run wipers for a short time. But most sheep were in basements with football helmets on. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson

Only thing I have is dish and since the government decided to give the cell phones the old bandwidth that pretty well worked in any weather now when a rain shower hits, I get nothing. Became that way even with an antenna and rotor which I finally gave up on. Had HughesNet and that also sucked big time. Still no highspeed internet here but have gone cell route for internet service. Cheaper than hughesnet, much faster too. Fire up the laptop and hit NWS 7-Day Forecast 37.75N 94.3W (weather.gov) They have current radar that works very good.

They use us and that was who I was going through that messed up. TV uses us. I have to get better Radar which will run me $75. It was crazy last night had one Super Cell park , one Tornado and Hail. Had two different money people in there. Why are you doing this? Well to pinch pennies we don't need this because we just use it a couple times a year make do. Oh BS this will be changed. oneshot

NWS is just a front? We have sensors set up in SE Missouri that we all use. Our area runs from Marshfield to St. Louis to the Bootheal along the State Line. Yes it is a small area but it takes many small areas to make big area. We have direct line to NWS when needed. oneshot
