    Southeast Sanitarium - A Place to Vent

    in Southeastern States

    Posted

    Can we not have people whining by saying they are ready for spring?  That's a lie, and we all know it.  They would take any little flake they can get whenever they could get it, as would we all.  This board exists because of the eternal hope of snowfall in our backyards.  It is incredibly dead in here during the dog days of summer.  There are a few exceptions, but very few people visit here because of warm weather phenomena.  You're all here for the snow, so stop bittercasting by saying you wish it would just go ahead and be spring.  Come on, man!  :D

    I need to vent as another day goes by as mass attempt is made to limit and there is really nothing else going on... global warming has reached a critical mass now and things are going to change on beautiful earth ... trees, insects, grass and trees. to be blunt, quinneaker is a person that has access to so much energy (but this is interdimensional) and this is used to dumb down things... you see this in government, the president, NASA, consciousness in general... meanwhile the globe is warming exponentially and this a symptom of the human mind. it's unconsciousness, or "brokenness". It's not anything else really, I can feel easily a declining earth population and global warming regressing. So the issue is control power and intent... another day 

    Man, you continue to post the most disconnected stream of consciousness that I typically have no idea what you are saying.  I think your intent is to say that global warming is bad and everything and everybody is going to die soon.  If so, that's quite the bummer, but but it's hard to know for certain if that's what you mean.  How can the globe be both "warming exponentially" and "regressing"?  Or, are you saying that after we all die off the warming will cease?  And, what's this about control and power?  Are you suggesting we should encourage the extinction of the human race so as to save the planet?

    Then, you've got some crazy talk about interdimensional energy sources and the unconscious consciousness of the human mind.  Just.  Wow.

    Not feeling this one at all. GEFS has flurries or nothing for everybody. Cold air wasted. Bring on Spring!

    You know I have to agree, tired of wasting the cold air, bring on spring.     :wacko:

    When will this craptastic winter end. I’m ready for spring now 

    This is about the most annoying comment possible to write on a weather board.  And, it's false.  You don't really mean it.  When it snows 6 inches in your backyards next month, you'll be glad it's not spring and have forgotten you ever said this.

    Pack it's on your door step. RAH thinks you may be in one of the sweat spots with 2-3"

    I'm pretty confident that pack's been in a sweat spot for this entire event and for days leading up to it.  Now, if he could only find the sweet spot...  :P

    Seriously, this must be so painful that you can't help but try to find the humor in it.  I was very confident that pack, CR, and the gang would get a decent snow out of this.  It seems my confidence was misplaced, and you guys were right all along.  I really am sorry that you're missing out on this one, as of yet.  I still think it will eventually fill in and you'll each get an inch or more, but this waiting must seriously suck.  There's no other way around it.  :(

    I don't understand why the Raleigh people are so distressed about this opportunity.  (That means you, Cold Rain and packbacker and...)  You guys are more depressed and downcast than anyone I've seen in a long time.  You have a legitimately good shot at accumulating snow, and you refuse to find solace or hope in anything.  You seem to enjoy the doldrums and revel in it.  It's become your badge of honor.  You will have three inches of snow on the ground Thursday morning and will still refuse to believe that it's there.  Come on, guys!  Snap out of it!  Go find some puppies, rainbows, and unicorns or something.  :bag:  :D

    hilarious seeing the mods elsewhere claiming to be big snow lovers posting silly one word posts which are 100% negative and declaring the winter is OVER....very happy they banned me and hope they enjoy being led around by spain park chris

    You sure seem very concerned with whatever is happening on the "other" board, even though you claim to be happy that you are no longer affiliated with it.  Just jump on board here and ignore whatever happened over there.

    There is no need for people to take regional desires personally, in the storm thread. Of course, Raleigh- and Charlotte-area posters are looking for any hint that the storm may throw precipitation further back inland. This would probably mean that the beaches get rain, but it doesn't mean that Raleigh and Charlotte hate the people who live at the beach.

    Those who live at the beach have very little desire to see this trend NW much at all: they are content with where we stand. It doesn't mean that they relish seeing Charlotte and Raleigh miss out on snow and that they secretly thrive off dashing their dreams. Each area naturally wants snow more for their backyards than for any other location. It is what is. Accept it.

    If you want more people to post about impacts in your backyard, then look in the mirror and step to the plate. We have a few posters who are very good at addressing board-wide effects, but most people (again) naturally post about weather that affects their backyards. (Your other option is to find some knowledgeable locals and convince them to join this board and share their insights.)

    As for me, I'm hoping for a mega-phase with an LP consolidation in the northern GOM that progresses right up the SE coast. Hello, foot of snow IMBY! Of course, that is so incredibly unlikely with this current system that there's really no point in discussing that option in the storm thread. It doesn't mean I won't stop hoping, though. (It also doesn't mean I dislike all you posters east of me.) Hope springs eternal...

    So, we can like posts and give other positive reactions now too. When can we get a "thumbs down" option? There are some posts that are really cluttering up the storm thread lately. I don't like using the ignore feature, but I may have to bust it out again soon.

    Bah humbug.

    Latest update from GSP:

    Quote 
    
As of 1000 PM EST Thursday: Have expanded the Advisory farther into
the NC mountains and NW NC Piedmont, and upgraded to a Winter Storm
Warning for Habersham and Rabun. To the details...event unfolding in
TX is either at or above some of the predicted levels, and HRRR is
actually doing a pretty good job of nowcasting the event, so would
like to think that the rest of the HRRR forecast is in line.
Guidance continues to bump up QPF. Atmosphere is slowly saturating
so evaporational cooling will of course have a limit, but concern
with incoming CAA will be the dynamic cooling and diabatic effects,
specifically the cooling of the surface layer from the latent heat
of melting, which will serve to continue to lower the snow layers
without a source of low-level WAA (and there really isn`t one). KFFC
00z sounding had a bit of a warm nose just above 800mb but that
should erode by the time precip gets this far north. 00z NAM bufr
soundings show a deep near-freezing isothermal layer with gradually
dropping snow levels here at GSP through the night (using the
thickness nomogram is a bit misleading with the near-freezing layer
so deep). So even with the increased QPF, think snow ratios might
not be quite as high and so have not increased snow amounts quite as
much as the QPF would suggest. In any case, since WSW criteria for
GA is 2", Rabun should easily get it, and northern Habersham as
well. Most of the SC mountains should easily get 2", but WSW
criteria for SC is 3" (4" for NC), so for now have kept SC and NC to
advisories. Would not be surprised to see the rest of the NC
mountains added to the advisory or expanded east more into the
Piedmont (right now Burke/Cleveland/Rutherford Counties are really
only included because of the Southern Mountains). Graham and Swain
actually do not currently have advisory-criteria snow amounts, but
for consistency`s sake, made sense to go ahead and include them.

    Its not that hard to post a link and be nice about it. I don’t understand why you have to be so rude about it. Just post a link or picture and move on.

    That said, I’ll stay quiet again. 

    Apologies.  It just seems that it should be obvious when all these maps come from TT or PW that you would just need to Google those names, and there would be the maps.  It just seems like people ask for links to the same things over and over.  But, you're right.  I was a little short about it.

    You don't have to be quiet, though.  Now that you can find these maps for yourself, feel free to post the ones that interest you in the thread.
