Subject: [PBARC] Much colder and Winter Weather?
Message-ID: <4CF6507C.1010106@arwolfpack.com>



First, it does appear that a strong arctic cold front will move through 
the region over the weekend, bringing much colder weather to the state 
for next week.

Second, from this morning's Area Forecast Discussion from the NWS Tulsa, 
the 00Z GFS model...which was dry last night...now is bringing a 
southern stream wave south across the central plains early next week, 
dumping several inches of snow across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. 
However, very few other models even resemble it (only 3 of 20 Canadian 
ensembles did). Plus, the models have always had a difficult time with 
cold air, moisture, and storm systems in Arkansas...and the GFS appears 
to be cold biased, as it were. The Area Forecast Discussion from 
Oklahoma City is saying parts of their region may need a "Winter Weather 
Advisory" early next week...but this far out, forecast wise, it's too 
early to tell exactly what may occur. A slight chance of rain or snow is 
forecast Monday night across parts of Arkansas...and another system is 
forecast toward the end of next week...its effects remain to be seen.

With the La Nina weather pattern, late fall/early winter may start cold, 
with possible winter precipitation events. However, as it gets warmer, 
so to speak, any winter precipitation events may go from a snow to an 
ice storm event...then to a severe weather event after the first of the 
year, as we get toward spring.

As the old saying goes, "if you don't like Arkansas' weather...wait 5 
minutes"... But, if a storm system goes 50 miles in either direction 
from what is forecast...it can mean snow, ice, rain, or severe weather.

Below normal temperatures appear certain next week...however, the extent 
of winter precipitation...if any...is uncertain at this point. While a 
winter storm...especially snow...would add some "holiday flavor", it 
would definitely cause problems for those who have to travel, or be out 
in it.


Remember the winter storm that brought snow to portions of Arkansas this 
past winter (I believe February)...it caught many folks by surprise!! 
But, with the colder weather, be sure to dress accordingly, if you must 
be outdoors...especially with the height of flu season approaching.

FYI -

Got this note from Mike Sanford.  You might want to heed his advice if you
go to Chilis --



Within the last two weeks a credit card scam has been identified at the Pine
Bluff Chilis where an employee, nice, younger white girl, was scamming
credit card numbers and codes off the rear of the card. 82 customers have
been scammed with charges as high as $1600. An employee of Lavon's got
hammered for $800 in one charge. Check your credit card balances
immediately. If there are any charges that are not yours, contact your
credit/bank card company, notify Chilis of the theft and call the police
with the information. I believe that the culprit has been nabbed, but I
don't know for sure.

Subject: [PBARC] Building a Super station
Message-ID: <4D152E14.6050305@arwolfpack.com>

All -

I just saw this post on the TowerTalk reflector.  I down loaded the 
ebooks and did a quick scan of the book.  Looks like some really good 
reading.  For the price and what I saw of the book , I suggest you 
download it too!

Although you might not be building a super station, you might find some 
tidbits that you might find useful!

73 es Merry Christmas -

-------- Original Message --------

I have just cut the prices on my 25th Anniversary edition of "Building a
Super Station".  The e-book download is now free, and the DVD and paper
copies are $5 cheaper than before... Hopefully none of the reflectors object
to this announcement since this removes any income I was getting from them,
just one less form to file with income taxes after this year.
