Subject: Another Big Freeze On The Way?!
Message-ID: <F549E9179606488A8A0F3FAFCA993566@YOUR5BFDF7BC50>

Guys & Gals,

It looks like we are still on track for some strong storms during the 
Monday-Tuesday 02/02-03/2009 period. It appears that the surface 
extratropical (cold) low will cross the peninsula and given that and other 
strong atmospheric dynamics some isolated severe weather is possible.

During the Wednesday-Friday 02/04-06/2009 period another significant freeze 
event is probable with the coldest day being the 5th.. Minimum temperatures 
could drop as low if not lower than the last freeze that occurred between 
01/20-24/2009. In inland rural areas the subfreezing line will extend as far 
south as Immokalee in the Everglades.

As before there is also a slim chance for ocean effect snow showers along 
the west coast of the central peninsula, with better chances over NE Florida 
on early Wednesday morning the 18th.

We should then see a mild to warm period between approximately 02/07-14/2009 
followed more cold weather.

Take Care,

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL  
102 PM EST SUN FEB 1 2009  
   
.PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR TONIGHT'S SUPER BOWL  
  
   
SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE IS DOMINATING OUR WEATHER TODAY  
WHEREAS   
THE FLOW ALOFT STARTING TO BREAK AWAY FROM A ZONAL PATTERN. A SERIES   
OF IMPULSES ARE NOTED MOVING ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH/NORTHERN GULF OF   
MEXICO IN THE LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY.  
  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   
SHORT RANGE (TONIGHT-TUESDAY)  
EXPECT MOISTURE TO CONTINUE TO POOL   
UNDERNEATH THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION AT AROUND 6000 FEET TONIGHT   
KEEPING PERIODS OF CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION. THE IMPULSES ALOFT   
OVER THE GULF ARE FORECAST TO PRODUCE CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE CENTRAL   
OR NORTH CENTRAL GULF. THE CIRCULATION WILL BE SMALL SCALE...BUT   
GIVEN THE QUICK PRESSURE GRADIENT MOVING ACROSS THE STATE SHOULD   
PACK A LITTLE PUNCH MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GIVEN THE SMALL   
NATURE OF THE SYSTEM THE WIND DIRECTION FORECAST IS DIFFICULT...AND   
WILL GO WITH A GFS/NAM/WRF BLEND.   
  
AS FOR RAIN CHANCES...MODEL CROSS SECTIONS ALL INDICATE QUITE A BIT   
OF MID LEVEL LIFT AND MOISTURE BEGINNING AT 12Z MONDAY...PRETTY MUCH   
AREAWIDE IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVELOPING LOW. GIVEN AN EXPECTED PATH   
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA DURING THE AFTERNOON...WOULD ONLY EXPECT   
SURFACE-BASED DEVELOPMENT IF ANY DOWN THERE. WILL PLACE THE BEST   
CHANCE FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT THERE...BUT GIVEN MID LEVEL INSTABILITY   
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO FARTHER NORTH TO TAMPA BAY.  
  
WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT AS THE LOW CROSSES THE STATE IT WILL PUSH A   
COLD FRONT THROUGH...ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN AND MAKING   
FOR A WINDY DAY TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO HIT THE UPPER   
50S ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...60 OVER THE TAMPA BAY AREA AND THE MID   
60S ACROSS SW FLORIDA.  
   
LONG RANGE (TUESDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY)  
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL   
SWEEP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY   
WEDNESDAY MORNING AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE   
EASTERN U.S. LONG WAVE TROUGH. THIS FRONT WILL USHER IN A VERY COLD   
DRY ARCTIC AIR MASS ON A BRISK NORTHWEST TO NORTHERLY WIND FLOW WITH   
AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE LIKELY OVER THE NATURE COAST WITH NEAR FREEZING   
TEMPERATURES EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PENINSULA   
BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. BRISK WINDS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT LOW WIND   
CHILLS WITH VALUES IN THE TEENS OVER THE NATURE COAST AND UPPER 20S   
TO ~30 ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE GFS   
SHOWING 850MB TEMPS PLUMMETING INTO THE 0 TO -5C RANGE HAVE LOWERED   
MIN TEMPS SOME FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WHICH IS IN   
LINE WITH THE LATEST MEX AND 01/00Z ENSEMBLE TEMP GUIDANCE.   
  
ON WEDNESDAY STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN OVER THE LOWER  
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION   
WILL LIKELY CREATE CONSIDERABLE COLD-AIR STRATO-CU OVER THE ADJACENT   
GULF WATERS WITH SOME OF THESE CLOUDS LIKELY TO AFFECT MY COASTAL ZONES  
EARLY ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE FLOW BECOMES MORE NORTHERLY LATE IN THE  
DAY. IT WILL BE QUITE CHILLY ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPS FORECAST TO  
RUN SOME 15-18 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING THE LOWER  
50S NORTH...MID 50S CENTRAL...AND UPPER 50S TO ~60 FAR SOUTH.    
  
THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SETTLE IN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES WEDNESDAY  
NIGHT...THEN SINK SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA THURSDAY NIGHT  
INTO EARLY FRIDAY. CLEAR SKIES AND A LIGHT NORTHERLY DRAINAGE FLOW DOWN  
THE SPINE OF THE PENINSULA WILL SET THE STAGE FOR STRONG RADIATIONAL   
COOLING BOTH NIGHTS WITH HARD FREEZE (LOW TEMPS 20-25 DEGREES) CONDITIONS  
A GOOD BET ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE  
AS FAR SOUTH AS FORT MYERS...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS ON THURSDAY REMAINING  
WELL BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS AGAIN ONLY REACHING THE 50S NORTH INTO   
CENTRAL ZONES AND ~60 FAR SOUTH DESPITE AMPLE SUNSHINE.   
  
DURING FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE  
WESTERN ATLANTIC. EASTERLY RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH WILL ALLOW THE  
VERY COLD/DRY AIR MASS TO MODIFY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED  
EACH DAY THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY CLIMBING BACK TOWARD  
CLIMATIC NORMS.  
  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   
AVIATION  
A CONTINUED SLOW INCREASE IN LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE   
WILL SUPPORT INCREASING AND THICKENING CLOUDS AT ALL TERMINAL SITES   
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT TIME PERIODS   
BUT CEILING HEIGHTS AOA 4KFT WILL MAINTAIN VISUAL FLIGHT RULES   
THROUGH THE PERIOD. VFR CONDITIONS EARLY ON MONDAY WILL LOWER INTO   
THE MVFR RANGE BY MID TO LATE MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE   
AFTERNOON AS AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN...SHOWERS...AND MIST DEVELOP OVER   
THE REGION AHEAD OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST OVER THE   
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. LIGHT SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS IN THE 5-10   
KNOT RANGE CAN BE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTH TO   
SOUTHWEST ~10 KNOTS ON MONDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE   
AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE AREA...LOW AND MID LEVEL WINDS WILL BE   
ON THE INCREASE ON MONDAY WITH AN INCREASED RISK FOR LOW LEVEL WIND   
SHEAR FROM MID DAY ON.  
  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   
MARINE  
WILL SEE SOME RAINS BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT ACROSS OUR  
WATERS AND BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD DURING THE DAY MONDAY. LOW  
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE GULF WILL BRING SOME WINDS TO THE  
WATERS...BUT EXACT LOCATION OF WIND MAX IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT.  
EXERCISE CAUTION OR ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE  
RAINS MONDAY AND ARE LIKELY MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.  
  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   
FIRE WEATHER  
AS THE DRIEST AIR PUSHES IN BEHIND THE COLD

I know you are into QRP. You might find this article interesting. It describes making a QRP transmitter from the parts salvaged from a compact fluorescent light bulb.

Just an FYI, that type of light bulb contains mercury so you want to be

Yes I see that the GFSX model 1800 & 0000 UTC runs are now forecasting warmer temps. at 850 mb. We will have to see what the 1200 UTC run says.

Even with the warmer 850 mb temps on the 0000 UTC run the surface temperature MOS has come out colder. It's going for 26 here in Lakeland and 24 deg. in Plant City, equal to last weeks freeze on the morning of the 22nd.

On the morning of the 22nd I had 26 deg. here in the suburban heat island of Lakeland. My rural weather station north of Plant City saw 19 deg. and my rural weather station in Nobleton in Sumter County saw 15 deg. That 15 deg. reading at Nobleton was the second coldest recorded at that location going back to 1975. The coldest ever was 8 deg. in 1989.

It looks like the best chance of thunderstorms and possible severe weather will be over the southern half of the peninsula during the next 12-18 hours. Every run of the GFSX forecast model has been coming in with colder minimum temperatures. Here is a great website link to track it.

PACK A LITTLE PUNCH MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GIVEN THE SMALL   
NATURE OF THE SYSTEM THE WIND DIRECTION FORECAST IS DIFFICULT...AND   
WILL GO WITH A GFS/NAM/WRF BLEND.   
 
AS FOR RAIN CHANCES...MODEL CROSS SECTIONS ALL INDICATE QUITE A BIT   
OF MID LEVEL LIFT AND MOISTURE BEGINNING AT 12Z MONDAY...PRETTY MUCH   
AREAWIDE IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVELOPING LOW. GIVEN AN EXPECTED PATH   
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA DURING THE AFTERNOON...WOULD ONLY EXPECT   
SURFACE-BASED DEVELOPMENT IF ANY DOWN THERE. WILL PLACE THE BEST   
CHANCE FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT THERE...BUT GIVEN MID LEVEL INSTABILITY   
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO FARTHER NORTH TO TAMPA BAY.  
 
WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT AS THE LOW CROSSES THE STATE IT WILL PUSH A   
COLD FRONT THROUGH...ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN AND MAKING   
FOR A WINDY DAY TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO HIT THE UPPER   
50S ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...60 OVER THE TAMPA BAY AREA AND THE MID   
60S ACROSS SW FLORIDA.  
   
LONG RANGE (TUESDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY)  
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL   
SWEEP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY   
WEDNESDAY MORNING AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE   
EASTERN U.S. LONG WAVE TROUGH. THIS FRONT WILL USHER IN A VERY COLD   
DRY ARCTIC AIR MASS ON A BRISK NORTHWEST TO NORTHERLY WIND FLOW WITH   
AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE LIKELY OVER THE NATURE COAST WITH NEAR FREEZING   
TEMPERATURES EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PENINSULA   
BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. BRISK WINDS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT LOW WIND   
CHILLS WITH VALUES IN THE TEENS OVER THE NATURE COAST AND UPPER 20S   
TO ~30 ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE GFS   
SHOWING 850MB TEMPS PLUMMETING INTO THE 0 TO -5C RANGE HAVE LOWERED   
MIN TEMPS SOME FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WHICH IS IN   
LINE WITH THE LATEST MEX AND 01/00Z ENSEMBLE TEMP GUIDANCE.   
 
ON WEDNESDAY STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN OVER THE LOWER  
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION  
WILL LIKELY CREATE CONSIDERABLE COLD-AIR STRATO-CU OVER THE ADJACENT   
GULF WATERS WITH SOME OF THESE CLOUDS LIKELY TO AFFECT MY COASTAL ZONES  
EARLY ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE FLOW BECOMES MORE NORTHERLY LATE IN THE  
DAY. IT WILL BE QUITE CHILLY ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPS FORECAST TO  
RUN SOME 15-18 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING THE LOWER  
50S NORTH...MID 50S CENTRAL...AND UPPER 50S TO ~60 FAR SOUTH.    
 
THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SETTLE IN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES WEDNESDAY  
NIGHT...THEN SINK SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA THURSDAY NIGHT  
INTO EARLY FRIDAY. CLEAR SKIES AND A LIGHT NORTHERLY DRAINAGE FLOW DOWN  
THE SPINE OF THE PENINSULA WILL SET THE STAGE FOR STRONG RADIATIONAL   
COOLING BOTH NIGHTS WITH HARD FREEZE (LOW TEMPS 20-25 DEGREES) CONDITIONS  
A GOOD BET ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE  
AS FAR SOUTH AS FORT MYERS...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS ON THURSDAY REMAINING  
WELL BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS AGAIN ONLY REACHING THE 50S NORTH INTO   
CENTRAL ZONES AND ~60 FAR SOUTH DESPITE AMPLE SUNSHINE.   
 
DURING FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE  
WESTERN ATLANTIC. EASTERLY RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH WILL ALLOW THE  
VERY COLD/DRY AIR MASS TO MODIFY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED  
EACH DAY THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY CLIMBING BACK TOWARD  
CLIMATIC NORMS.  
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
AVIATION  
A CONTINUED SLOW INCREASE IN LOW AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE   
WILL SUPPORT INCREASING AND THICKENING CLOUDS AT ALL TERMINAL SITES   
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT TIME PERIODS   
BUT CEILING HEIGHTS AOA 4KFT WILL MAINTAIN VISUAL FLIGHT RULES   
THROUGH THE PERIOD. VFR CONDITIONS EARLY ON MONDAY WILL LOWER INTO   
THE MVFR RANGE BY MID TO LATE MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE   
AFTERNOON AS AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN...SHOWERS...AND MIST DEVELOP OVER   
THE REGION AHEAD OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST OVER THE   
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. LIGHT SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS IN THE 5-10   
KNOT RANGE CAN BE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTH TO   
SOUTHWEST ~10 KNOTS ON MONDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE   
AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE AREA...LOW AND MID LEVEL WINDS WILL BE   
ON THE INCREASE ON MONDAY WITH AN INCREASED RISK FOR LOW LEVEL WIND

A HARD FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO 9 AM EST THURSDAY.
THE ARCTIC AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT AND A HARD

FREEZE WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. LOWS BY THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE IN THE
LOWER 20S IN THE NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS AND AROUND 30

DEGREES NEAR THE COAST. A HARD FREEZE WARNING MEANS SUB-FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY LIKELY. THESE CONDITIONS WILL 

KILL CROPS AND OTHER SENSITIVE VEGETATION. A FREEZE WARNING IS ISSUED
FOR 3 OR MORE HOURS OF TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 27 AND 32 OVER A 

WIDESPREAD AREA. RESIDENTS SHOULD COVER OR MOVE INDOORS ANY COLD
SENSITIVE PLANTS...AND BRING PETS INDOORS THIS EVENING.

 

SIGNIFICANT FREEZES FORECAST NEARLY STATEWIDE  

~ Wind Chill Warnings in Effect Tonight for all of East Central Florida
and the Treasure Coast ~

 

TALLAHASSEE - State emergency management and fire officials are urging
residents throughout the Sunshine State to practice the ?Five P?s? of
cold weather safety as the latest arctic blast brings the coldest
temperatures of the winter to the Florida peninsula during the next two
nights.  

 

A frigid and exceptionally dry air mass has funneled into the state
behind an arctic cold front. The high pressure center that is driving
this frigid air mass southward will remain situated over the Tennessee
River Valley tonight.  This feature will keep northwesterly winds in the
10-15 mph range through Thursday morning across much of the peninsula.
These winds in combination with below freezing temperatures will produce
wind chills in the teens as far south as Lake Okeechobee.  Wind chill
warnings have been issued for all of east central Florida and the
Treasure coast through Thursday morning.  Hard freeze warnings have been
posted into interior south and southwest Florida tonight, including
interior Collier and Palm Beach counties.  Freeze warnings are in effect
for all of Florida except for coastal Miami-Dade County and the Keys.

 

The polar high pressure center will settle over north Florida on
Thursday evening.  This will allow winds to diminish nearly statewide,
setting the stage for heavy frost formation on Friday morning.  A hard
freeze and near record low temperatures are again likely for most
interior sections of the peninsula.  

 

Please remember to practice the "5 P's of cold weather safety" this
week:

1.	Protect People 

2.	Protect Pets 

3.	Protect Plants 

4.	Protect Exposed Pipes 

5.	Practice Fire Safety 

  

?This air mass may bring even colder temperatures than the state
experienced in late January,? said State Meteorologist Ben Nelson.
?Many residents and businesses will be using space heaters or fireplaces
and we are urging them to do so safely.?   

 

Residents should check the operation of their smoke alarms and carbon
monoxide detectors, making sure to replace the old batteries.
Electrical extension cords need to be in proper condition and correct
rating for the heater.  Persons should not overload wall plugs and
individual circuits with multiple appliances.   

 

Some important safety tips to keep in mind from the Division of State
Fire Marshal: 

 

?  Have gas heaters and other gas appliances checked for leaks or
damage. 

?  Check and clean air conditioners for any dust that could spark a fire
when turned on for the first time. 

?  Keep space heaters at least three feet away from furniture, walls and
drapes. 

?  Clean chimneys regularly and do not burn anything in the fireplace
other than firewood. 

?  Keep children and pets away from any flame or fire source. 

?  Review and practice your family?s fire escape plan.

At 2:00 pm here in south Lakeland the dewpoint is 16 degrees and falling, not a good trend. 

My best guess for minimum temperature tonight is 17-20 deg. in rural areas, 21-24 deg. in suburban areas and 25-28 deg. in urban areas. With a north wind of 8-16 mph it will be difficult to protect decorative plants and flowers as well as crops. The wind chill will temperature will be between 5-15 degrees.

Tonight may be the coldest since February 5, 1996.

Take Care,

Subject: Hard Advection Freeze Tonight For Most Of Florida
Message-ID: <4531311E33CB40D0B59BA8CD726A0B71@YOUR5BFDF7BC50>

It appears that Florida will see the coldest minimum temperature since
February 5, 1996. At 3:00 pm dewpoint temperatures have crashed into the
single digits north, single digits to teens central, 20's and 30's south and
40's in the Keys.

We will see a hard advection (windy) freeze tonight across the panhandle
north and north peninsula. The hard freeze will extend southward through the
inland rural central peninsula and inland rural south peninsula, down to
approximately the latitude of Immokalee. Coastal areas of the central
peninsula will dip below freezing with near freezing in coastal areas of the
south. Only the urban SE coastal areas and the Keys will escape a freeze.

Minimum temperature will dip to the low to mid teens across the panhandle
north and north peninsula, mid teens to low 20's inland rural areas of the
central peninsula, low to mid 20's inland rural areas of the south peninsula
down to approximately the latitude of Immokalee, upper 20's to low 30's in
inland rural areas of the Everglades.

Urban areas of the central peninsula will see the mid to upper 20's, urban
coastal areas of the central peninsula will see low 30's.
Urban areas of the south peninsula will see upper 20's to low 30's, urban
areas of the SW and SE coasts will see low to mid 30's,
with upper 30's to upper 40's on the Keys.

With the wind staying up between 10-20 mph during the overnight hours wind
chill temperatures will be between 5-10 deg north, 10-15 deg central, 15-25
deg south, 30's in the Keys. With the wind, cold protection of ornamental
plants, agriculture and citrus crops will be difficult. Tropical fish farms
are also in harms way.

Take Care,

KN4LF... pls forgive me, forgot your name....

What summary do you have??? I had some people tell me
this morning at my work place (Publix Pix) they had temps
as low as 24 AT SUNRISE, and one guy told me he had
a wind chill of 4 above 0 around 755 am.

One more blast of cold air coming this way, to bad it's
a month and a had late for CHRISTMAS....

Hi Mitchell the name is Thomas. 

CWOP #6582 in the Kathleen area had a min temp of 22 deg. Here in the highlands of south Lakeland I had a min temp of 27 deg. I had a min wind chill temp of 17 deg. Lakeland Linder AP had a minimum temperature of 28 deg. 

Tonight should be just about as cold as last night especially the locations not up on the ridges.

I'll have a statewide tally of minimum temperatures later this evening. Normally I do it in the morning but I've been outside all day in the cold putting up a 1/4 wave coaxial inverted L for 160 meters. 

73 & GUD DX,

Thanks Thomas. I just heard Florida was moving south of the
Caribbean...... for the umpteen millionth time today...

I think it's nice to experience cool conditions at times
instead of 3 seasons of summer and a teasing winter....

Oh well, Florida will be Florida, and Global WARMING will
keep us cooler... ha ha ha

Hey folks, haven't had any takers recently to sit in the Net Control
chair for the weekly LARC 2m/Trader's net, so I figured I would post a
message here asking for help hosting the net.  You can always see the
net control calendar here:

http://www.lakelandarc.org/radio_nets/larc_2m_net.htm

If you are interested in picking up a net control session (or two),
please reply to me directly via email using my callsign @arrl.net and
I will get you on the calendar, with thanks!

http://www.srh.weather.gov/images/rtimages/tbw/graphiccast/FXClong.png 


My Forecast-

I don't know why having all that medical information would ever need to be collected or transmitted over the air to request transportation or EMS assistance.  All that would be required is the number of patients, their location, and their chief complaint.

Here is an email with a link to a Ca. site that has

need to know.
Even though we have a D-Star Digital System here in Polk,
this is also needed knowledge even on Analog systems too.

HIPPA deals with not sending a person's insurance info to

It does not, but that is what Privacy Acts and institutional privacy

Someone mentioned the need for rain on the 2 meter net yesterday evening.

It looks like we have a decent chance for some much needed rainfall on 
Sunday March 1st. We then return to much colder weather with record low 
temperatures possible.

The latest GFSx model run is forecasting frozen precipitation across parts 
of the panhandle north and north peninsula down to near Ocala during the 
Sunday evening-Monday morning 03/01-02/2009 period. The last time this 
happened on the same dates was in March 1980.

The north and central parts of the state could also see record breaking 
minimum temperature on Tuesday morning March 3, 2009, with the subfreezing 
line extending southward into the inland rural central peninsula. But before 
that a slight chance for severe weather will exist for the same areas during 
the day on Sunday.

But what do I know?
