Damage In Tolland

Steady light snow this morning and ground is whitening up

??

Haven’t seen any charts this winter posted? What’s going on?

Here’s the thing..I don’t think anyone’s Jan pattern has verified . It has not worked out or looked like anyone or any MR or LR model said it would. That’s why there’s been forecasts here of snow beginning around the 5th . and each one has gotten pushed back to 5,10,15 days. It could finally happen late next week. Or maybe the week after. Just the sheer time of year when it’s most likely to snow is in our favor . But I have problems (99) with folks saying the models at MR and LR look favorable and that we’ll have good opps for snow. Generally those atmospheric modeled looks do not end up looking like that come verification. Occasionally they work out, but more often than not they don’t. It is fun to speculate to be sure. That’s why we’re here .. to discuss. But this also goes back to the “it’s just bad luck”.. there’s no good or bad luck involved in weather. Weather is atmospheric science and has nothing to do with good or bad luck. Bad luck is if you have Michael Thomas and Cole Beasley on your fantasy FB team and you start Thomas who pulls a hammy and you benched Beasley who goes for 210 yds and 3 TD’s . Or you’re out in the grocery store and have to pass gas in the bread aisle and you peek over your shoulder and no one is there so you push it out, and immediately smell last nights General Tso that you had for dinner and look over shoulder again and see 3 hot , coed college girls looking for everything bagels. That’s bad luck .

There’s the forcing self on everyone lol

I want nothing more than to post LFG’s and whee’s.... typical democratic response there lol. I hope your forecasts are right

We’ve lost over a month of our favorite season. After a good first half of Dec, we’ve lost every game, every promise . I’m just tone deaf from the crying boy . I need to see the whites of his eyes(snow)

I agree with you. It’s fun talking about potential . And it may be there . But until that potential lies deep on our lawns and WSW are flying like farts from Ray at the bar in BOS that night , it remains just that.. potential. I’m excited, but cautious and persistent.

My point is .. how many times can the boy cry wolf until no one listens? Until we actually have a snowstorm, it’s just guessing and hoping. Just because modeling shows patterns changing and snow.. it doesn’t mean it will happen. It certainly may, but it’s hard for most folks to get excited or to buy into these guarantees here of snowy pattern when we’ve been hearing that boy crying since Jan 5th. I truly hope things change and they’re right. I’m not saying you guys won’t be right.. just urging persistence until we’re looking into the barrel of the beast.

Remember when I won WOTY? Would you prefer that person or the realist now?

It was the 10th, then the 12th, then after the 15th. Then there was a storm the 18th.. then the 20th. Now it’s the 23rd

Fish gets it . Persistence forecasting . Not modelology

Scooter truly believes he is high and mighty here and will force himself and opinions on everyone. We just brush that arrogance aside and post what we feel is best and correct. You learn to understand his ways and what his intentions are . Just be yourself and don’t let him get you down.

And no snow in 20+ days

No snow now thru the 23rd?

Every day since Jan 5th it’s gotten pushed back a day . It’s uncanny . Now we’re out to the 23rd. Don’t worry, they say heavy snows next week

Only way to forecast /think right now is pattern persistence. How will the atmosphere next week and after find ways to continue the dry and boring ?

Laying out? Washing and waxing the cars? Laying sod maybe? How are you enjoying it?

Sunny days in the winter suck. Hate them. Glad we me not thee

We cloudy and cold yet another day. Couple hours of sun this morning and that’s it rest of the week. At least if it can’t snow , it’s been cloudy and cold

When was the last time he got a forecast right? He has been a joke the last few years. I don’t even read his stuff anymore

Lol at the weenies. All the models you guys are using to say snowy next week show a flip to snow Sat evening

It does look like it ends as a period of snow for inland SNE Saturday evening. Maybe drop an inch in terrain.

Stein runs deep
