[kinzel]

The Carpe Diem auction is underway ... your chance to seize a 17 pound collection of paper that became Carpe Diem, including notes
for the book that never quite made it to the stands. ... Check it out!

In other notes, it has been hot here, with bad air, and now there's a very small chance that portions of Maine may come under the sway of hurricane weather Sunday or Monday .... as the predicted track goes we are pretty far from that, but yes, we have from time to time been known to travel toward weather rather than away from it.  At one point, some years back, this would be, we arrived in the vicinity of Cape May, NJ within an hour of the end of the tornado warnings spawned by a hurricane. But there, maybe that helps explain why we're official weather watchers ...
ooohhh... shiny thunderstorms!

And no, without a major change in plans, we will not drive to Nova Scotia to be in the storm this weekend. Honest... no crossed fingers here, no sir....none. Srsly!

NHC track is scarier...

[mothadventures.livejournal.com]

I think the five-day track at the NHC ( http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/084214.shtml?5-daynl#contents ) is even more scary -- cone of possible centers clips Cape Cod and a good chunk of coastal Maine. And if I read the wind probabilities right Augusta's now up to a 14% chance of tropical force or higher.

If you really wanted the full experience of the storm, maybe the way to go would be to take the CAT ferry. Although they can cancel if seas over 12' are expected. :-) Me, I get seasick....

Uh-oh....

If you're a weather watcher you probably know more about this than I do, but I just looked at the latest (2PM) ensemble runs at: http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200903_ensmodel.html#a_topad

and almost all of the track predictions appear to now be well to the left (west) of the official NHC track. Time to worry yet?
