Super User Sam Posted January 17, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 17, 2013 Speaker schedule for the Richmond Fishing Expo is on their web page: http://www.ncboatshows.com/schedule.php/eventId/3 I will see the first Ish seminar on Friday and want to attend his first seminar on Saturday. So what time do we want to meet on Saturday? Since I will be going on Friday I can post aplace for us to meet when I get home on Friday afternoon. Looking forward to meeting old and new friends on January 26th. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Can you get us the code so we can use the online buy option? The discount is on the coupon itself in the RTD. I am not aware of any online discount codes, but I'll keep looking. Sometimes local shops have discount coupons as well - like Green Top. You can always call and ask them. Quote
Zoff Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Just name a place and time on Saturday. I'll be there. Quote

Hanover_Yakker Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 When you guys visit the Expo, can i ask a huge favor? Take a few minutes out of your day to stop by and talk with the Central VA Heroes On the Water table? It will be co-located at the Appomattox River Company setup in the back. Stop by and find out what they are doing for service members. Quote

Yea, I saw that snow forecast. If its too bad, I'll wait until Sat. I plan on being there between 10 - 10:30 I be wearing a sort of tan Humminbird hat. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 23, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Friday could be a bust depending on the time the snow arrives. So far the forecast is for snow to start in the Richmond area in the afternoon. Here is what Dave a wxrisk.com, a private weather forecasting company has posted. Sorry for the mispellings but Dave is a weather guy and his typeing is poor at times when he gets excited: *** ALERT*** 00Z ECMWF BRINGS BACK FRIDAY SNOW FOR WVA... VA southern MD and northern NC... For southrrn WVA SW VA including ROA the model shows 0.25 -0.50" liquid which would be 3-6" for wva and sw VA... For all of VA northern NC MD 0.12 -0.27" which COULD BE. .. 2-4" snow The forecast is for all of Virgina, Northern North Carolina, DC and Maryland. We will have to meet on Saturday. Everyone be careful in the snow and let's hope it is only rain. I hate snow! Quote

Super User Sam Posted January 23, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 23, 2013 10:30 Saturday by the GMCO display is a good place to meet. You can talk to George until we all get there. We could go to the Green Top area but it is too big and congested. Everyone be careful in the snow and its aftermath. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 To be honest, I don't think anyone knows what is going to happen. The models are literally all over the charts right now, including the latest from WxRisk himself...... "0Z WED RUN OF THE GFS... the model shows .....nothing. I cannot even find a Low on the model . The Model has NO snow of any kid of an portion of VA NC MD DEL PA NJ NY or New England through Saturday. There is a brief 3 hrs window of snow flurries -- or maybe its dandruff ..over northern WVA and western MD. And thats it. Of course the last 5 runs of the GFS have shown well NOTHING so this isnt anything. will wait Until Tomorrow before I am any decisions to bail on on this event . It will BE interesting to see what the two "snowy" Model -- the 0z Canadian Model does... which on Tuesday midday DID show significant VA MD SNOWSTORM for jan 25 ... and the 0Z EURO which also has been at times snowy....." One thing for sure though is that it is going to be cold, so dress appropriately. The Expo is climate controlled but the temps inside of the building will still be cooler than you expect. 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 23, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 23, 2013 Hanover, here is what Dave posted 9 hours ago: *** 0Z WED NAM MODEL... IS NOW IN... This run of this weather Model IS WEAKER with the FRIDAY SYSTEM and has snow ONLY from Richmond SOUTH INTO Central NC. Taken verbatim the Model show only 2 " of snow over central/ southeast va... YES including all of Hampton Roads and 3 " over much of central and Northern NC.... Raleigh Hickory Greensboro even 1 " at Charlotte . The Model shows NO snow NORTH of line from LEXINGTON VA to RICHMOND. If the snow is south of Richmond than it will only impact Zoff and the other guys coming from the south and west to the Expo. Hopefully the system will go way south and paralize all of North Carolina just for the fun of it with nothing falling in Virginia other than sweet sunshine and blue skies. Make that Carolina blue skies. Looking forward to meeting you at the Expo. Be safe no matter what the weather and Zoff, take it easy if you have snow. I will PM my cell phone number to you so you can call me to find out what is going on over here in central Virginia. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I know, it's crazy how varied the reports are. One thing I do like about the WxRisk postings is that he always is open about why he is correct or made an error. At least he raises the awareness of the public to not rely on the NOAA or other weather sites alone. You have to take it all in to get some form of a feel for what will happen. All I know is that in the past, events like Sandy, Katrina, Irene, etc were mis-forecast by local stations and he nailed it dead on including the precise track. The only other group of meteroligists I have seen that have come close are the ones for the utility industry. - like I always do when I kayak in cold weather and cold water extremes......prepare for the worse and there will be no surprises Quote

Look for the Times Dispatch Press Pass for $1 off admission. Press Pass will be printed in several editions throughout the week of the event. Quote
Zoff Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Either way... I will be there. Thank the Good Lord for 4x4! LOL Quote
