NBC Action Communities

Do you ever feel like you're not quite ready to issue the winter forecast when the scheduled time for it rolls around?

-----------------

We always know so much more by early to mid-December, but our first impression will be ready by next week.

Gary

I am so glad to see Ida weakening to a tropical storm. That means *still* no hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. this season!  

Tina

Larry Johnson-good riddance.

So LJ and Jeremy Nelson both leaving Kansas City...what is this place coming to?

Ok, at the risk of sounding like I live under a rock, I will start with the disclaimer...  I travel a lot with my job and have been gone a lot lately.  I'm glad to see LJ go, but not Jeremy.  Where is Jeremy going?

Andrew, I wish you had just backed away from the keyboard and kept your speculation to yourself. Look what you started. This isn't fair to the people involved.


As for LJ, kicked to the curb is too good for him. No team needs a morale snuffer like that guy.

I agree Chicago - the game sites are for games - this is a weather blog

Ok wow, I have missed something...where is Jeremy going?

Speculation - sheesh.  As things are ready to be discussed, they will be.

I for one am looking forward to what changes are on the horizon weatherwise.  Could be fun!  

I loved the warm days and will welcome them as they come off and on through the fall and winter, but am ready now for the leaves to all drop and for that "take your breath away" first day.

by-by Larry , and to think we could have kept Jerad Allen. Instead Carl picked Larry, .....THANKS! Carl. The weather is boring (nice) but boring I am looking forward to some changes.

Where is Jeremy going ?????

Jeremy  & Family are moving to Milwaukee.

:(

Thunderstorms developing right now on a stalled front aided by a shortwave in west-central KS. moving east right now on Nov. 9th, about a month ago we had a mid afternoon temp of 35, and now we have this with a tropical storm moving in to the southeast, who knows what mother nature will do next!

No!  First Jamie Jarosik and now Jeremy Nelson.  I am certainly sad to see Jeremy leaving KSHB.  He has done a phenomenal job in his short time at the station.

Good luck, Jeremy.

Chicago no matter what Kcwxguy says, I agree with you. The announcement should have come from the team NOT from Andrew playing stupid games.

I'm NOT excited to see what lies ahead either. I'd be lots happier if Jeremy stayed.

wait, so is jeremy the only one leaving? also, is there a chance of hail tonight? anything severe at all? again, is Jeremy the only one going?

It smelles like rain outside, its not super warm but you can fell a lot of moisture! Rain would be nice, there is lots of new grass seed, and sod and landscaping recently put in where I go during the day! - And have a good day everybody!

Skylar

whirlygirl, thanks for the link.  However, if Jeremy came in Nov 2006 and he lieaves in Nov 2009, then he's been here 3 years--not 2 like the article said.

Jeremy, thanks for a great job!  You and your ready smile will be missed.

OMG! Nobody has said he is leaving. As Scott said, its just speculation.

Wow...amazing what a once-voice rumor can do.

Ok...I am so sorry...i posted before the link was posted. I stand corrected....lol.

Jeremy will certainly be missed. He was a great addition to the team.

i will miss Jeremy so...

I am not criticizing, but I recall Gary saying that we will see our first snowflakes sometime this month. Is this still possible?

I really liked Jamie. I didn't know if any person could replace her funny charm. Then we got Jeremy. I can't imagine any person coming in that will be as funny and pleasant and cute. Whoever replaces u Jeremy has got huge huge shoes to fill.

Waiting to see if we get any thundershowers outta this.

Damn. Its a cryin Shame to see Jeremy Nelson Leave the NBC Action Weather Team. I wish him the best in his future Endevordors.

please, let`s not use words like that turd fergenson. I would like this to be an enjoyable blog, not one with inappropriate words. and, is it going to snow?

MikeandJenn - Yes- Jamie then Jeremy..perhaps in picking the next person, first names starting with "J" should be avoided.  LOL

It is interesting to watch Ida right now..slowly but surely trying to lose her tropical characteristics and go extratropical.

Odd little November storm for sure.

Sorry to see Jeremy go :(

But wish him luck with his future endeavors!

David

Hopefully this will lighten the modd, no point wallowing in sadness right?

It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold  or mild.



Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.



Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared..



But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'



'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded..



So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.



A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'  



'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'



The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.



Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'



'Absolutely,' the man replied.  'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen..'



'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.

The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.'



Remember this whenever you get advice from a government official!

Atlanta is getting ready to get pounded by heavy rain again...stinkin El Nino's

Honestly this has to be one of the more predictable 'LRC' setups of the past several years...

Two things:

1.)  Awesome weekend this has been, today even.... Temp was nice, I didn't even care if there were clouds this time.....

2.)  I'm gonna really miss Jeremy.  :(  Come back sometime.... please
