"Very high" in terms of confidence that it will snow, or "very high" in terms of the perceived ceiling.... -

Are you surprised by how good it is? -

Well, urinating on the napkin would take care of that, too. You must not read my storm forecasts...they really aren't long. -

If there is that much, the family will be sent away and my schlong will be out on the table hovering over the maps -

You posted that my forecasts are too long and difficult to understand, that's why I posted that....just ball busting back, but if you had a seasonal effort, post it and let's compare... -

Right, and then watch it be a monster-east based event. -

Hey, I never thought I'd be on the verge of 8 consecutive shitty seasons, but here we are....and for the record, I have utterly pantsed Webb so far this season. -

If one is a CT to Scooter special and the other one pounds MHT points north, I am absolutely going to be sectioned. -

I have seen him do that, but I think he is guilty of what a lot of us are...when a situation sucks, or goes to shit...we tend to disappear like that Homer Simpson GIF into the bushes lol We have all done it. -

@brooklynwx99 I have all the respect in the world for you guys that are bright enough to earn that degree because I am not. I could not ever do it. I am truly obsessed with certain aspects of meteorology and I have good writing skills, that's it. -

I didn't see the interaction....I'm just using your comment as a launching pad to make that comment. Nothing personal at all. -

He likes to point out the avenues to a successful solution...it's not wrong, per se...it's easy for people to project frustration onto that type of poster after 8 consecutive dud seasons. I think he knows his stuff....but I did roll my eyes when he mentioned his college accolades....no one cares about your GPA in any field...it's all about how practically skilled you are, and can other human begins stand you. There are plenty of degreed mets that I would forecast the pants off of with respect to winter weather in this region....synoptically, or seasonally. At the end of the day, how passionate are you and how obsessively do you seek to hone your craft. Those are the two most important boxes to check emphatically. This can't just be a job or hobby....weather needs to be a clinical affliction to excel. -

I'd rather worry about that than confluence....SSTs down near 40 and dropping, so getting tough to totally bone me that way....
