Northern Virginia Roll Call

I',m putting this everywhere because I want honest opinions. Discuss in the Dual Battery Thread in my sig if you would please.

 

I'm going to try to make it out for the meet.

 

Am I seeing these forecasts correctly? Potential for 5"+ of snow tomorrow morning? Where the hell did this come from? Usually they're hyping up snow a week in advance; this time it's less than 24hrs.

 

They have been all over the place lately. They can't tell the weather. I just watch the animals, yesterday, even in freezing rain they were out picking food. That's bad news for the next day.

 

I got about 5" yesterday before the ice hit up in Northern Montgomery, MD. I've been hearing everything from straight rain through the night and all day tomorrow, to a mix, to straight snow starting late tonight until tomorrow afternoon. I don't doubt that there is definitely somehting coming, but I don't think they can really tell what it's gonna be. especially after looking at how far off they were yesterday. I had been hearing 2" all weekend and some areas in Frederick about 20 miles north of me got almost 9". One of my contractors said he got 11" up by the PA line.

and if you look at a radar map there is nothing significant if at all headed our way. calling for an inch

then again if you check fox5 or fredericksburg.com they say 2-4 inches

so who knows who to believe

 

I am in for the meet....

Do we have a count on how many people are coming? Seems like we are getting up into the high teens

 

I'll be there...just may take me a bit to get from Bethesda to Fairfax.

Weather prediction...the only occupation where it's acceptable to give yourself a 200% margin of error. Somewhere between 2" and 6"...that would be like me saying, "Yeah boss, that project is going to come in somewhere between $2,000,000 and $6,000,000." That just wouldn't fly...

Exactly! Its like the best and worst job ever, no risk really of getting in trouble as long as your somewhat right but even if your wrong its "unpredictable". But if your wrong you might piss off alllooooootttt of people haha

 

YES!!

 

Anyone know of anywhere around here that I can buy a new shackle or do I have to order one? I forgot and left the one I had on my hitch receiver and some fuckhead stole it in the Home Depot parking lot

 

Tractor supply in leesburg

 

yep, dd said it TS has them. Also Graingers, West Marine, but I would just order one or two. Will be less expensive.

 

Hm.. I checked the Tractor Supply up by my house and didnt see any. Oh well. haha I went ahead and ordered some from Amazon anyways. Got two 3/4" Smittybilt D-rings for $20.50 with free shipping through amazon prime. Should be here Friday!


I'm gonna do my best to be there tomorrow as well. 5:30-6:00 is when everyone is trying to get there right?

 

Yup ill be there hopefully traffic doesn't suck

 

Need some advice fellas. My OEM antenna has been cropped (due to car washes) for over a year now. And I'm soo tired of it...any shorty antenna recommendations? Superwhite...how do you like your sickspeed stick?

 

I like it for what i got it for, I got it because of how small it is it doesnt get hung up on branches offroad. I get maybe 3 radio stations that come in clear, but thats fine with me as 95% of the the time im listening to my ipod or pandora
