Alabama thread!

It is 2021, we wouldn't assume anything

 

Anything is possible haha she’d be sorely disappointed with the outcome though

 

Beat you thought I was joking about the cake

 

Morning all! Half way to a three day weekend. You got to love President’s Day!!!

 

Sup Bart

 

Going through the morning routine. You about at the end of your day. Get fired up!!!

 

Hell no, I'm winding it down

 

Morning yall!

 

I dont get that off

 

What, everyone should be off President's Day

 

No objections there! I get Christmas, Thanksgiving and day after, New years, labor day. That's it, But i can use PTO whenever i want basically. I get 12 days a year plus whatever i didn't use the year before up to 10 days. I rarely take off so i end up carrying over every year.

Edit: And after my 4th year i get an extra 4 days of PTO a year so thats coming up lol.

If i go to Moab this year ill most likely still have like 10 days vacation time after that lol. Love my job but paid holidays is only down side i guess haha.

 

From AlabamaWX

COMPLEX PATTERN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK: A complex winter pattern continues for the southern U.S. through early next week, with the polar vortex over Canada, and an active southern branch of the jet stream below it. Bitterly cold Arctic air persists over the northern half of the U.S… Dickinson, ND reports -20F at 5:00 a.m. with a wind chill index of -39F.

But, for Alabama today that cold air stays just to the north, and we expect a high between 65 and 70 degrees this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. Most of the state will be dry, although a few isolated showers are possible over the southern counties.

RAIN RETURNS: Rain becomes widespread across Alabama tomorrow ahead of the Arctic front over Tennessee. Some thunder is possible, but severe storms are not forecast as the better shear values are in the cold air north of the front. Some lingering rain is possible tomorrow night and Friday, especially over the southern 2/3 of the state. The high tomorrow will be in the low 60s, but Friday will be colder with temperatures in the upper 30s over the Tennessee Valley, 40s for North/Central Alabama, and 50s to the south.

TO THE NORTH: An ice storm warning is in effect for parts of Arkansas, West Tennessee, and much of Kentucky as freezing rain is expected to bring a coating of ice that will create major travel impact and possible power outages.



THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: It will be close call when it comes freezing rain potential over far North Alabama Saturday morning. It is not totally out of the question, but for now we will side with the warmer thermal values from the European global model, and it looks like most all of the state will just see a cold rain at times with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Sunday looks cold and dry with some sun possible; most communities across North/Central Alabama will see a high in the 40s as the really cold air remains parked just north of here.

The bottom line is that for now we are not expecting any ice issues for Alabama through the weekend, but as noted this is a complex pattern and the forecast is always subject to change.

NEXT WEEK: The next wave brings more precipitation to Alabama Monday night into early Tuesday. Again, this will be a very close call for freezing rain, but at the moment it looks like mostly a cold rain for our state. And, yet another wave arrives Thursday and Thursday night… simply too early to make a call on that one. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1973: While North Alabama was dry, a major snow event unfolded for the southern half of the state, especially the southeast counties. Parts of Southeast Alabama had one foot of snow… even Mobile had accumulating snow. Parts of Georgia and South Carolina had almost two feet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1981: A morning tornado at Bay Minette struck the local middle school. The school’s gymnasium was severely damaged, and 62 people were hurt, 44 of which were students.

 

Work is over rated, I quit doing it, permanent vacation is better.

 

I agree ill just quite my job and collect unemployment

 

Just messing with you, 401k and invest good and you will be there before you know it. I enjoyed my job and miss seeing all the people everyday but I enjoy my life now too.

 

Congratulations!!!! A prayer for the best future ever for you all.

 

Thank you!

 

Who is doing what this weekend ?

 

When I swing out my tire gate, I want it to lock in place by itself. I’m thinking about getting some sort of clamp that is the same diameter as the tube steel so when the gate is pushed into the clamp, the clamp expands and then contracts once the tube is inside it. Any other better ideas?

 

I did this with mine. Spring loaded so it drops down and locks in place when opened up 90 degrees. Easy to pull up and close it back.
