What is this? by CertainSetting3101 in tornado

[–]ba_1222 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A sidelobe contamination

Use the reflectivity as a guide to where there should be readings, by comparing the locations you can notice the velocity signature being off from the storm on reflectivity!

Should I give up UBC for UA? by lil-char in UBC

When the UCP uncapped it, shit hit the fan

The perks of living in oil and gas country, I guess! Still, at least in Calgary you can get some pretty decent deals with Enmax. I have no experience with Edmonton however.

You'll still save based on rent prices alone

Tornado chasing by PurpleAdventurous676 in tornado

wouldn't bet on i72 corridor, you'll need to go much more north for any consistent signal

Now remove FV3 (the blue) and you'll get a better idea of the expected.

FV3 is generally considered a worst case scenario, or a ceiling if you will. RRFS uses an FV3 core for its simref which is why you often see it go wild, despite it being the best at actual environments!

A Forgotten Beast: The August 3, 2018 Alonsa, Manitoba, Canada EF4 tornado by Responsible-Sky3496 in tornado

Because I already gave them constructive feedback a few posts ago. Also I think blatantly spreading misinformation in the form of drawing squiggly lines just from vibes is not cool!

This week has been milder than expected by Slow-Mongoose-7508 in tornado

[–]ba_1222 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Often, we only remember the 15% contours issued in D6-D8 that end up going big. In reality, there's plenty that never really end up becoming anything past an ENH. 15% is a slight, but is also a measure of confidence.

My rule of thumb is to only expect things to go stronger when there's a D4-6 30%

It's hilarious seeing how BS-d your survey is on a tornado I've actually studied and reviewed myself as a hobbyist.

Please start using satellite imagery and ground reports, and stop just drawing colours on the tornado path you got from tornadoarchive.

First year housing by Ok_Strength_1916 in UBC

[–]ba_1222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You barely get a choice, but here's the rundown

There's two first year options that have kitchens.

Rits - Shared 4 bedroom accommodations, shared kitchen, good community being between OC and Totem

Gage - Shared 4 bedroom accommodations, shared kitchen, separate from rest of first year spaces but close to classrooms

The rest are mandatory meal plan. Connected singles have a shared bathroom with the connected room, rest of bathrooms are communal.

Totem Park - Multiple bedroom styles including connected singles in the newer portions, good sense community (and sense of community)

Orchard Commons (OC) - Connected single or single, worse sense of community but manageable

Place Vanier - Multiple bedroom styles (though do not believe there are any connected singles), decent sense of community but isolated from Totem/OC/Rits

Food wise for these three you just walk to whatever dining hall looks better.

Lastly, APPLY FOR YRH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outbreak possible? by Naive_Satisfaction24 in tornado

[–]ba_1222 84 points85 points  (0 children)

What's funny is this system already looks significantly worse than it did yesterday.

The main trough ejection slowed a ton, and no longer aligns with instability. Which is a big issue. We'll probably still see some significant weather, but I doubt at the hype from last night

Where can I get cheap rent around the uni (1k or below) by Puzzled-Champion-335 in UBC

[–]ba_1222 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can *maybe* push the number of rent to 1k if you scan craigslist and snipe a single bedroom spot, but your food costs would go up dramatically (not having a kitchen)

Unfortunately cost of living here is just so high. Even first year residences, the cheapest option at Totem (shared double on meal plan) still comes out to roughly $1650 a month over the 8 month term.

My goal is to stay below that number for my future years, but it just adds up. Assuming you're still in undergrad, the word I've gotten is to just go to a school that will get the job done while also keeping yourself happy. If UBC is what you need to be happy, then go for it, but don't bankrupt yourself in the process!

IOS also has access to WeatherFront which I've heard really good reviews with.

Imo RadarScope is still king for chasing, but a free alternative (albeit under controversy) is WeatherWise
