Antony, how is this for Winter?


Good to have some sun during the weekend, but still cold and windy if you were under the shade. (No beautiful snow.)

Don,

I am sure 90+% of kids in Australia wouldn't mind that much snow in the backyards.

I saw something in your video about a program called Creative Alchemy, tell me about that, you did not mention it or where to get it in your video.

Their parents would mind not being able to get the cars out for two days.

I have a thread on Creative Alchemy that describes exactly what it does. It has nothing to do with screenshots, and came up in the search list only because I made a typo. :)

Today's forecast: rain, and lots of it. Parts of the highway in central Massachusetts have been flooded out. Here's the surprising accumulation of rainfall in just the past hour:

Image

Tomorrow there are two large storms inbound that will most likely combine into one very large storm that will hit Boston most heavily around 3PM, which is conveniently the time I leave work.

More rain today...

There are reports of a waterspout off the southern coast of Massachusetts; thankfully, it didn't make landfall and turn into a tornado.

I would really like to know how to do what Don is doing with those TV images. I tried Mandrake's video; but it was too quick and small for my aging eyes.

I really need a written script, if anyone could provide it.

I just came home from a week in San Diego. Normally, the heat in San Diego's daytime drives me absolutely nuts. But the heat and humidity in New Jersey has been so omnipresent and abysmal that I really felt better.

Then, arrived home to 60's. Egad!! Fabulous.

I went hiking today and it was fabulous. Lets try for an image. Still stuck with thumbnails until someone tells me how to get the whole image.

Image

Not too shabby.

Edward, I'm sure you're as sick of the rain as you are of seeing my screenshots of our local TV. :lol:

It looks like we're getting a break tomorrow. No clouds until late tomorrow, which should make for good viewing of the meteor shower.

Richard, I do amateur video as a hobby. I have a capture card that I can connect a video device to, which will digitize the connected device's feed and let me import it onto my computer. I can also watch the stream live and take snapshots of it from Videolan Client.

Lets see what this weather map looks like:

Pretty messy looking, and my wife is flying into Newark right now.

We've been having some bizarre and unusual weather lately. First a tornado, and now another waterspout (a tornado formed over water).

Image

And here's the rather huge system responsible for creating it:

Tomorrow doesn't look too bad, but it looks like we're getting socked on Saturday.

I know this belongs to gadget thread.

I bought this indoor/outdoor thermometer, humidity meter, and clock last week.

Image

The good thing about this tiny device is that you can get the outdoor temperature without walking out of the house.
