Avg. days with t'storms

On this same subject. Midwest tstorms are frequently 45k+ feet. Is
this common in other areas? From my aviation readings, I was lead to
believe that the Florida/Louisiana storms tend to top in the 30s, and
hence are less intense.

Having lived in Ohio and now in central Mississippi, the intensity of the
storms down here are more extreme then what I have seen in Ohio.

2 to 3 inch per hour rainfall rates are not unusual, and I am really
surprised how often hail does fall down here considering it's much warmer
down here.

I have seen / read observed tops in the mid 40's on a regular basis with
popcorn variety storms and they exceed 50K in squall lines.

A major improvement over that old VOR approach off Brookley, isn't it?

Just across the Bay from Mobile, Alabama

What do you fly, Stephen?

A major improvement indeed....although the ICW approach still works in a
pinch.....drop down over Mobile Bay, follow the intra-coastal waterway until
you pass the Holmes Bridge, hard left and a straight in to 35....

I fly a 2001 C172SP....check out the email posted on the Baldwin County
Civil Air Patrol Squadron Home page and drop me a note. You'll find it
under request information or something like that.

Semper vi.,

As you know, it's not how warm it is at the surface, it's how cold it is
way up near the tops of those monster t-storms that determines whether hail
will fall out of them. And given that they grow 'em much bigger in the
southeastern US, it is no wonder hail is so common.

Living here in Colorado Springs, hail is very common during this time
of the year. As a matter of fact, today as I was coming back home on
the motorcycle, I was greeted to about 2 inches of hail on the ground
that ranged from 1inch to pea size in diameter. I probably just
missed it by about 5-10 min. Then about an hour later another line
came through with 1 inch size but we were just on the outer fringe of
the storm so it lasted for maybe 2 minutes but it was enough to cover
the ground. Now its clear skies and we start the whole cycle again
tomorrow afternoon around 2 or 3ish.

But you get the long dreary wet days. How boring is that. Atleast
give me a little thunder and lighting to make things interesting.

How do you ride with that on the ground?

Very Slowly. I actually live about a mile down a dirt road which made
it a little bit easier, but I also followed other vehicles tire tracks
which cleared a good path for me to stay in.

We had plenty of thunderstorms this year, thank you very much. As for long
dreary wet days, well...December is pretty dark, but this time of the year,
we're getting more sunlight than just about anyone in the US except those in
Alaska.

That said, the more folks who think the way you do, the better, as far as
I'm concerned. The weather here sucks. You don't want to live here. No
one does. Stay away.

Actually, I have relatives that live there and on the dryer east side
of the state. I have made that trip many times, in fact, I will be up
there the end of July. It does amaze me how the mountains affect the
climate so much that on the west side you get all the rain and on the
east side its like a desert.

But, you dont have to worry about me moving up there. I like my
climate just where I am, having lived in MD, FL, TX, and CA, I like
the state of Colorado just fine.

Odd...and yet, you seem to think that we only have one kind of weather:
rainy.

Were you awake when you were here?

It's not "like a desert". It IS a desert.

Good for you. There's nothing worse than someone who doesn't like it where
they actually live.

Still, it boggles my mind that people see a need to criticize the weather
where they aren't, as if they require that so that they can feel good about
where they do live. Pick any place in the world, and there's someone who
would hate the weather there. Even Colorado.
