Ever have 6th sense about something, or maybe its just that at some point for whatever reason (maybe its a slow build up and then one little thing sets it off) you get the feeling that Spring is "here". It doesnt neccessarily take a severe wx event to make "it" Spring. Maybe its just the fact you begin to notice the higher sun angle, the fact that hmm that last system with all its dynamics, didnt drop temps like last couple have, or....the fact that the calender just says its 2nd last week of February.
For me it started yesterday with the Daytona 500-a landmark on the calender so to speak.
Or maybe it was me having a deja vu from last February when there were 2 seperate. severe wx/tornado days in the Plains at the end of month.
Or was it the fact that YET AGAIN we had ANOTHER day of long tracked tornadoes this month. I bet the folks in Enterprise will forever set their clocks by latter half of February.
Or maybe its the fact Im getting overwhelmed with meteorology from my classes this semester. And along those same lines, I have quite a few nutso's in my class with regards to chasing, in other words, I got some real chase fanatics in my class.
Can we say..."Parcel theory?" How about theta-e? Oh oh I know...latent heat release
Or maybe its the fact I just happened to flip thru channels tonight and Oh what do you know, theres Reeds video on TV, ill be damn.
But heres what im thinkin......

Or maybe its the fact Im sooo ready for Shapiros first dynamics II exam (respectfully optimistic, never overconfident), which means I can skip one seeing as how exam days have notoriously fallen on chase days.
This IS the year I load up on chase gear. Im going all out this year equipping my vehicle and my electronics for all of 2008. Ive been putting this off year after year after year, but FINALLY, IT IS ON. And what a year to have it happen, the year is already off to a start the likes of which we havent seen in some time. See my post in chase partner thread for those looking for an intelligent passenger with technicians rating.
Ok...paper bag, im good...Reed, your awesome.
Ugg, the only cure for SDS.....is more cowbell...or just cows in general.
