Way too far away to take that forecast seriously.

Way too far away to take that forecast seriously.

Today could be June 2nd and I still wouldn't trust the forcast. I think its time they hear from people to move the weekend. It just ALWAYS seems to rain during this event.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

[LeoVampire]

It never rains @ Carlisle it pours out! :lol:

I hope it is nice though for the event keeping my fingers crossed!

[DOOM]

3 years ago (my 1st Carlisle) was the ONLY YEAR that it didn't rain!

[Blackened300a]

By the way it looks now, Im assuming you wont be attending Jake?

Wasn't that the year it was 90 billion degrees? I felt sorry for the clubs who didn't have a tent to huddle under. I remember no one was walking around.

YESSS!!! As a matter of fact that was the hottest day of the year!!!

[Bigdogjim]

Hey Doomie your a weather jinks!!!!!!!! (J/K)

[DEFYANT]

It will rain.

Sorry. But it seems when I get behind the wheel of that RV, the clouds roll in.

[Bluerauder]

I'll be there rain or shine. I can't let the weather forecast dictate my life. Besides, alot of stuff will change in the next week. Just no tornadoes please. ;)

Yes and real foggy that morning...

[ImpalaSlayer]

whos scared of rain? its a car, drive it

[FastMerc]

Too early yet next wed I will worry about it,lol...

[Ladyhawke]

Hopefully the forecast will improve by next weekend. I don't like the severe weather we have been getting. Maugansville, just north of Hagerstown and about an hour SW of Carlisle, had a tornado last week. :eek:

There was one 20mins west of me in Norwalk,yikes!:eek:

[Bluerauder]

From all the rain the night before. The early morning sun and heat was evaporating what was in the ground. 101*F in the shade and about 95% humidity. Miserable.

I ended up washing the car the night before in the lot behind the Carlisle Hotel about 11:00 PM after the rain stopped. Seem you and Barry were out there doing the midnight wash too. :D

[Blackened300a]

Weather changed.
Friday looks nice and so does Sunday. Saturday is iffy.

Now there are pictures posted of the damage.

All the porta-potties tossed around / trees pulled out of the ground and split in half.

[Blackened300a]

For those who can't...

Carlisle yesterday!

I can't believe the coincidence in the timing of my posting above ^^^^^ and Carlisle's weather yesterday at 6:30 PM. :o We got hit with some high winds last year on Friday ... but nothing like what I am seeing in those pics. Looks like they be able to have everything back in good shape by next week. Lotsa tent damage though.

[rayjay]

We'll be there rain or shine. Paid for our room in advance. This time of year there is no way to predict the weather more than 24-48 hrs out. We had the torential downpours last night, but the bad stuff stayed south of us.

[LeoVampire]

As long as this happens when our cars are not there :lol:

Remember last year on Sunday? The sky started to turn green and they said there was a tornado warning.

That place emptied out pretty fast.:eek:

More pics of the aftermath.

Sorry I suck @ getting them easily seen by everyone

[Bluerauder]

This ^^^^^ is not true. They have weather models that are able to accurately predict the weather to near 100% accuracy for the 5 day forecast. Unfortunately, the model takes 3 weeks to run. ;)

I remember Saturdays storm last year and the traffic was ludicrious. I HAD to make a "pit stop", switched drivers, I take off for a KFC down the street, when I get back she had only gone half a block. :rolleyes: If it happens again we now know how to avoid it.

For me Friday was the worst last year.

Just got to the fairgrounds and it started to pour like crazy and seeing all of you pulling out and driving by me as I was driving to our spot :mad2:

Talk about a big let down for my first time there! :alone:

I saw you last year heading towards the grounds as I was heading back to the hotel. I thought to myself, "Where does he think he's going??" :D

Thats what she said! :flamer:

[LeoVampire]

I am glad I did not turn around though and just leave and went to where we should be.

There was a black Marauder there with it's windows down and the key in the ignition I closed all the windows on it for the owner who was no where in sight.

So I guess being late was a blessing in it's own right.

[rayjay]

Was it Friday? I suffer from CRS... :o

[Blackened300a]

Was it Friday? I suffer from CRS... :o

Yeah I believe so. I ran for the hills when the sky opened up. Ill make sure our tent is anchored down just in case. I don't want a bunch of us running having to chase it around the fair grounds, that would just look silly. :D

[SMOKE]

I'm putting the car up on stands this weekend and doing the "triple-mast-and-a-rudder" schooner mod...;)

No worries....next year's raffle goodies can include Marauder Golf Umbrellas....work for both sun AND rain :up:

See ya in a week (or so....)

Best,
Jonathan

[FastMerc]

OH lookie guys lets all think sunny and it will happen yes! :D

[Bluerauder]

OH lookie guys lets all think sunny and it will happen yes! :D

Don't forget to bring the sunscreen .... when the sun does come out at Carlisle .... its a doozey.

Then all we need to do is the Rolls-Royce umbrella in the door mod. Now we are starting to think out of the box.:thinker: Brilliant

[DEFYANT]

Weathers looking better...

[rayjay]

Bought sun screen last night after my daughter played with the school marching band at a parade. Waiting to hear if they won, by far the best, especially for one of the smallest schools in the parade with a large band. Their drum line kicks a$$! The DTR needs a bath this morning. Torrential rains & thunderstorms here last night while we were shopping and on the 18 mile ride home. Better now than next weekend. :D

[Bigdogjim]

No worries gang I will be there Saturday and provide shade for all:)

[DOOM]

No worries gang I will be there Saturday and provide shade for all:)


LMAO!!! :rofl:

Isnt that what your 2nd T-shirt is to be used for? :D

[Bigdogjim]

Isnt that what your 2nd T-shirt is to be used for? :D

Or a car cover:)

[Bluerauder]

Just picked up a new "Absorber" and a roll of microfiber towels for the Carlisle trip. I decided to put the new towels away in the organizer so I would know where they were went I need them. When I opened the right side of the organizer .... there was a set already in there. :o Must have picked them up before last year's Carlisle. Will somebody remind me before I buy them again next year. ;)

[Bigdogjim]

WOW! Charlie that's a real senior moment:lol:

I would welcome the snow with all this crazy heat here in NYC this weekend. Of course I would be there with the Fusion again if that's the case. ;)

Well you can never have enough towels for a show car I always say but okay will make sure to ask ya what is in the organizer! ;)

NOW the weather guessers are forecasting partly cloudy with a stray thunderstorm for Saturday..

[Papillon]

As per weather.com, they are showing:


Friday - Partly cloudy - high of 77

Saturday - Isolated t-storms - high of 78 :down:

Sunday - Partly cloudy - high 83

[Bigdogjim]

Isolated mean it will rain on the mustang crowd:)

At Carlisle this year, FreddieH gave me a stack of about 10 microfiber towels. They use them at his work to wipe down everything and then dispose of them. Instead of seeing them go to the "trash", he collects them and washes them for reuse. Sure hope that he doesn't work for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or the Center for Infectious Disease Research. ;)

Thanks Freddie. :2thumbs: I have enough microfiber towels in the trunk to last for the next 5 Carlisles. :D

Sunday - Partly cloudy - high 83



Here is the actual weather experienced as compared with ^^^^ above:


Friday[/B][B] - Sunny and nice, slightly breezy on the hill - high of 77. Those without sunscreen WILL get burnt on their neck and arms.

Saturday - Sunny early. Increasing clouds throughout the day. 100% chance of rain beginning at about 2:30 PM. Rain steady with threatening clouds until 5:00 PM. - high of 78 :down:

Sunday -Big azz thunder and lightening before daybreak. Mostly cloudy and overcast in the morning giving way to more sun in the afternoon - high 83

So, even one day before the event ..... they got it mostly wrong. :rolleyes:

I don't know what Freddie uses to wash them, but he gave me one and it worked better then the 1200 other towels that are stuffed in my trunk organizer. He also said that if I win anything because of his towel, I have to share the award with him.

I guess I owe you half a trophy Freddie. :D
