Hey all, finally got over my computer troubles so I'll be posting again. Temps are starting to drop off across the US right now with winter storm warnings across the northern plains. Its still pretty warm here (upper 50s/lower 60s) but it should begin to drop off as a very sharp cold front allows a polar air mass to dip down.
Its kind of amazing how fast this November has gone. It seems like just a week ago it was Halloween and we're barely 5 days away from Thanksgiving. Right now there are 101 days until chase season 2012 begins for me. I'm progressively saving up money in an account to purchase a Canon EOS Rebel T3i for the season. Along with trying to get the new camera, I'm also looking for a job so I can get together funds for my Plains excursion that'll be happening from May 19, the day after I get out of school, to May 31. Its looking like I'll need to get in the range of $2000-$3000 to account for lodging, gas, food, and any emergencies such as car troubles during the trip.
I've got my costs laid out down here:
Gas-$1200
Lodging-$900
Food-$500
That comes out to roughly about $2600 plus whatever extra I can scrounge together just in case.
Back onto weather, its shaping up to be a brutal winter like last year right now. Not necessarily sure if there'll be any correlation between the intensity of the winter and the severe storm season, but hopefully 2012 will produce better stuff further west, preferably out of Dixie alley.
I'll post again here in a couple days!
