Bob Chill Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This regime breaks down 1/8. Those are encouraging words for sure. Do you think a decent -ao/nao is in the cards or just a relaxation of the very positive phase we seem to be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsnowlover Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Typically, warm winters end cold. See 2001-02. Didn't save us from a blow torch summer that year by a longshot. what does a blow torch summer have to do with this winter??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 If we had a -nao and a 1032 hp over Quebec it would be snowing pretty hard right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I second this...the red tag should actually read "degree in meteorology"...forecasting is just a hobby I'm pretty bad at. I believe that is the only criteria. I never recall there being a requirement to be a forecaster. This regime breaks down 1/8. Allahu Akbar!!

ohleary Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 das dtk alyourwxpal Heidi the horrible maybe a couple more I'm blanking on NCEP/NCO Met here, no forecast product dissemination necessary. I've only forecast the wx pro bono for a radio station in Iowa for a couple years, and did AQ forecasting in North Carolina for 6 months. So I'm currently a forecaster only by hobby as are most of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This month is no better than December 2006. Yes, and it's smelling (stinking?) more like 2001-02 only it's a bit wetter! The good thing about '06-'07 is that we had quite the back-loaded winter, beginning about the middle of January and going into March. Along with epic cold during February. Not saying that will happen this winter, but can hope for the last part of the season to give us something to cheer about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 well you have apologized for it now, so lets hope things improve I was soooo tempted to respond to marge when he asked if I watched but I refrained from adding a second post in his lame and disingenuous attempt at making people think he had a shred of compassion in his hollow soul. I did watch though. The crab kinda scrambled around a bit then crawled out of his shell and keeled over. I kinda paniced so I jammed him back into his shell (he was kinda hot from the cooking) and put him back in the aquarium. It took my mom about 5 days to realize he kicked the bucket and she was all sensitive to my emotions explaining that "he lived a good life and it was time to move on". LOL- I sat there with a Dennis the Menace smirk thinking "I wonder if it was edible after I cooked it". Before everyone passes judgement.......dig back into your memory banks and think about everything you did when you were 13. For the record.......I have a twinge of guilt for my actions now but since I confessed in marge's thread god forgives me and I'm going to heaven.

Bob Chill Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Some of you know that I lived in the CO rockies from 92-99 working for a ski area. I was digging deep into old photos last night remembering all the snow during those years and came across one of my favorite pics. The photo was from a road trip to Alta, UT in Jan of 1996. 70" in 5 days. This pic was taken after a 2 day 40" dump. There something about old school photos that digital can't capture (scan isn't all that great tho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Bob, great picture. You must have been really good. Thanks Wes. Seems like a long time ago but also yesterday at times. I stayed for 7 seasons and averaged about 100 ski days each. I dedicated my 20's to being a ski bum and don't regret it a bit. My favorite part was the backcountry. Learned from some great backcountry skiers. We were safe with beacons and avalanche gear but looking back I was probably lucky to never end up in the hospital or worse. Colorado is a really free spirited state and I loved it there. You could pretty much do whatever you wanted in the backcountry with no questions asked. I hope I'm lucky enough to go back for a while after I retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
