This is not the place or the thread to argue gender or non gender issues, My suggestion would be to take it up privately if there is a real problem with what was said

Agree, clean it up or I will... I saw the op, unsure how this could get construed into a gender debate. Nelly Carreno has a 4yr degree in comm, with a broadcast met "certificate" from MS State. Take it for what it is worth, regardless of gender. Heck, we have several on air "Mets" here in E NC with the same credentials and if the Chief is not there with them, they muck things up on air frequently.

This is not the place for a gender-war, and anyone wanting to instigate one will sit this storm out if it continues, thanks. :)

he mentioned the reason she was on air was because of her boobs. hence...gender specific comment.

I certainly hope you are going to suspend Diane for bringing up a gender specific comment that she didn't appreciate...

Okemo to Sunday River jackpot IMO (within New England).. maybe Killington to Saddleback if it it's closer to the ENS than the op

Seems most logical, high terrain in the north country. This is the sum of all fears....the nuclear winter scenario where this year we may be on the wrong side of the fence.

It's sad but true, though. They could have so many better experienced REAL mets. I don't care about her race or gender, but for god sakes have a real met on there. It makes the NECN wx team look bad

You missed her entire point didnt you.........

Well he probably shouldn't have said it since it's "off topic" really ... But we all know some of these women get hired by cable news/wx to look hot for the guys... Such is the reality today.....look at the hem lines on Fox News. When I was just in Europe (a place generally more liberal about things) I was noticing that the women news anchors were actually more conservatively dressed than here.

I stress that certainly many are hired for their brains...but there are examples of less noble reasons in hiring.

but it's really the same with men too...they like to hire attractive people in the news business...especially newbies...those who are grandfathered in are different. It's shallow but it is what it is. I can see how the comment about boobs specifically would be over the top given the situation.

This keeps happening...since at least August....regular and overperforming qpf. It is why I'm optimistic for heavy snow this winter even though it is warm.

It's an interesting point you bring up actually... I think this has been discussed in the past but, by the time we get to the 40th parallel in latitude the terms "warmer than normal" doesn't have to mean less snow. Normal for some of these area is 34F in the ides of the season.

I'd take a 38f system entry with a butt-load of dynamics and a cold core to work with any day! In fact, arguably those intense local gradient systems are the most dynamic and produce the biggest output. ...all during an above normal pattern.

Just saw that, thank you, the post is gone. I was acting off what had been reported, and no one reported that post, only the clutter that followed. If it continues, at-least with me coming over here to clean it up, then whoever starts it again will have a seat on the bench. In this case, the garbage "reasons" post you referenced.

This has always been a very politically correct forum, talking about weenies in fannies and such. I can't imagine someone implying that a TV personality is on air because of her looks is really all that bad considering what is usually talked about in here :lol:

Yeah--just look at Ryan. He's a handsome fella--and a met. :)

Meanwhile, to the storm at hand, it is really interesting to hear the comments regarding comma head as until now they were all prefaced with the words "there is not any". I'm afraid that if the EC comes in any further west, SNE can stick a fork in anything more than a couple inches in the likely areas (hi) while the CD area into VT will be enjoying the lion-share. Albany's AFD last evening suggested this very well.

54.4/54

Yep, looks like the euro tucked in a little more. Right over the Cape it seems.

we had some canal cruisers last winter- with blocking...atm, we have a +AO, no blocking, and a SE ridge and we still get a canal cruiser...these patterns are confusing

I have been saying this for a month....it keeps repeating and repeating and repeating. For 4 months. I'm not a met so i don't really know the science behind that but until i see otherwise I will assume we will get big qpf events once or twice a week and that those events will often be snow at my latitude (just north of CON). It is Dec 6 and we have had 3 or 4 measurable snows, 25+ inches and perhaps another 6+ on the way.

Maybe scrapes Chatham..tough to tell on 6 hr increments. I don't think it changed much from 00z other than maybe slightly warmer out west.

Good news right there IMO.. looks like the NW trend had halted on the euro and the Nam with the GFS probably reeling from some feedback issues since it shifted dramatically in the past 3 runs...

Now let's see if we can get this thing back SE a bit and colder

Scott says it's tucked closer--doesn't that imply NW trend? Regardless, I'm reasonably confident in a couple inches.

Low placement up here is virtually the same but in 6 hr increments it jumps from just south of the cape to eastern maine

I don't see a stoppage of the NW trend, unlike before snowtober, we have no real blocking before the storm and the polar vortex looks to be too slow to kick this thing far enough east to give SNE good snows unless you live in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.
