CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 OT, but TWC had a show called year of the tornado on at 8pm. I thought the name alone would probably imply some sort of biased reason as to why the year was bad, but they actually brought out some legit reasons. They mentioned La Nina as favoring areas typically east of the classic tornado alley. Warm SSts in the Gulf of Mexico and that really active jet coming into CA and sending disturbances into the Plains were reasons mentioned. Throw in bad luck too. It was refreshing not to hear global warming nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 for WOTY: snowNH (3) vs. MRG (2) CTblizz (1) vs. 40/70 (4) vote Kevin and snow NH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I cannot believe snowNH would be a #3 seed in here...his meltdowns and weenie-isms are unmatched, though he has a bit of humor. After his drunken meltdown earlier this month, I cannot see any reason I wouldn't pick him over Kevin, even if Kevin has had a couple of mini-meltdowns along with hyping events.

Yeah...Kev and snowNH are the clear choices. Although skiMRG is good too with his constant optimism. The only reason Kevin would get it over snowNH is a think he might flip/flop more. It was hilarious how he went from cancelling the whole winter to being all over the 12/23 threat...back to cancelling winter and now being all over the 12/30 clipper threat. But its all part of the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 dang, i forgot to nominate ChrisM...i still think messenger should have made it... messenger was nominated but it looks like he got 7th...Tip and Wiz both beat him. I do think Messenger would have been a good choice...I think he is best well known for either last minute west trend...or last minute east trend...basically whatever makes it not snow here. That and banging the RUC. I think Ginx would've been good too...too many good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its all part of the act. Kevin is a big flip flopper and a hypster...but he lacks a few classic weenie traits...first and foremost is the incessant asking of IMBY questions...he does it in a subtle manner but isn't obvious about it and doing it over and over again like snowNH...#2 is the constant whining or dining with each model output...he flip flops on his own accord but a classic weenie will live and die with each model run. Lastly is he lacks complete ignorance on model reading...he has minor to perhaps moderate skill unlike someone like metfan in the NYC forum (snow88 now is his handle). These are the same general traits Ray lacked in 2009 too, but he won anyway...so the vote isn't really about a weenie anymore, its more just an advertising outfit. I think the last true WOTY that was genuine was probably 2007 or 2008. Since then its more advertising and exposure. People no longer break down the classic traits of a textbook worst case weenie anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPM and his qpf worries are absolutely hilarious. I mean during the days leading up to storms he must post about them like 5 times an hour....even if its just an HPC map with a smiley...something that provokes a met to respond and say "LOL...you'll do fine.

Everyone on here is a weather weenie to an extent otherwise they wouldn't be spending hours on a forum about weather. But the award is typically supposed to go to the worst poster who constantly advertises all the classic weenie traits the most. And what is "ouch"? Lol...its well known metfan gets flak for posting maps that show something ugly but he thinks is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you won because you wanted to...you whored yourself out for votes in that one. I couldn't believe you beat BrickTameland. But that proves its about name in the end. You managed to gather enough votes to beat that idiot, lol. But if you didn't do that, you probably would have lost in the semifinals or earlier. But recently its not about the actual worst weenie anymore, which is kind of sad because it used to be I think before your victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev know his $hit, too...9\10 times he knows damn well that he is too overzealous....he just does it to get a rise out of those folks who take themselves too seriously....and because he likes snow and just wants to have fun.

Rib Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Mattmo is the exact same poster he was over 10 years ago. If there was a WOTY for 2001 it would have come down to Mattmo vs Steveinct with Mattmo winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading back there today--hopefully before the rain. we are getting there mike...slowly but surely....get home and get the woodpile ready, check the driveway stakes and make sure they are set firm, recheck the snowblower, plan where you will dig the paths in the yard, make sure the sleds and snowshoes are out of storage and ready to go, develop your strategy of checking the site when your wife doesn't know, be a really good husband and listen to your wife intently while you can, start to whisper about storms to the kids, get your snow measuring stake set, make sure you have an outdoor light that you can leave on without your wife knowing, start to compare the long range models against your travel schedule....
