Nadine Says Goodbye and Oscar Says Hello

The gang at the NHC is getting cuter and cuter these days...

Bye bye Nadine... expecting her to dance off like Ann Margaret in some retro movie remake. Never realized Nadine must be a redhead... maybe Auburn? And, if Birdie is being shipped off he's probably being shipped off to an air base in the Azores:

She is at long last leaving the scene and has been written out of the 2012 Hurricane Season dialogue. She's up there in the top of this image somewhere.... moving away, going away... the NHC is done, done, done with her!

See the discussion below, which is if I may say is classic and a keeper.   :)

BYE BYE NADINE. AFTER TRAVELING FOR OVER THREE WEEKS ACROSS THE
EASTERN ATLANTIC...AFFECTING THE AZORES TWICE...AND AFTER 88 NHC
ADVISORIES...NADINE HAS FINALLY DISSIPATED. SATELLITE IMAGES AND
ASCAT DATA INDICATE THAT BY 1200 UTC THIS MORNING...NADINE NO
LONGER HAD A CLOSED CIRCULATION AND HAD BECOME ASSOCIATED WITH A
COLD FRONT. PENDING A POST-STORM ANALYSIS...NADINE WILL TIE GINGER
OF 1971 AS THE SECOND-LONGEST-LASTING ATLANTIC TROPICAL STORM ON
RECORD AT 21.25 DAYS. AS A TROPICAL CYCLONE...WHICH INCLUDES THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION STAGE...IT IS THE FIFTH-LONGEST-LASTING
TROPICAL CYCLONE ON RECORD IN THE BASIN...AT 21.75 DAYS.

GLOBAL MODELS KEEP A VORTICITY MAXIMUM...ASSOCIATED WITH THE
REMNANTS OF NADINE...EMBEDDED WITHIN A LARGE EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE.
THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHWARD AND DISSIPATE IN
A DAY OR TWO.

So many songs come to mind... 

Here's a jazzy tune that says it well from Big, Bad Voodoo Daddy.

As for Oscar.... he's singing the "huh what you talking about" blues here to try to remind us of the benefits of the Public Television. In honesty, I was ALWAYS a BIG believer in public television but after the way I watch my kids watch TV... one season at a time on their iPhone and my grandson is watching old Fraggle Rock episodes on his iPad (yes I said HIS... as it seems he cries if you take it away from him..............) I think Oscar must be a millionaire somewhere living off of old episodes being watched by angry 6 months olds.

Either way... Oscar is out there, last man standing in the far Eastern Atlantic Ocean.



Then again, while watching this loop, you can probably barely take your eyes away from the strong, cold front pushing ...oozing... making his way east. (I'm gonna give it a male name as ... TWC seems to think we need to give cold fronts a persona) so .... that's the name of the game.

I'd say we might get one wrong way corrigan sort of system down in the Caribbean during an Indian Summer ...IF we get one................and that is a BIG IF................

Let's see...so far they are still singing the "not gonna last long" blues...

And, I'm wondering IF Sesame Street got money from the government... shouldn't they have to make it back after hitting it rich and never, ever, never going away EVER as I am sure my great children will one day be watching it on an installed monitor in their crib or possibly a micro chip build into their hand and all they will have to do is wiggle their fingers and see Oscar talking, sounding a lot like my father-in-law...

Then again kids must wonder why Oscar's cell fone is soooo big....
