im really convinced a lot of peope here need pyschological help.. the emotional vacillations are concerning. of course no one is happy with the reality that we'll get a light event but want to see the models pound us again.

I sometimes think the people......who think the people who root really hard for snow...... are more obsessed than the people who are doing the rooting....most of us and I emphasized most move on pretty quickly after a bust or not event....but it just seems like some people think this baggage is carried around day after day....i'm not so sure that's true...maybe...but I don't think so.

anyway...3" IMBY final call

Thanks. I think it's obvious how much you enjoying being perceived as a complete and total douche because you live out in the here yonder with a 3 walled outhouse in an area that gets a lot of snow. It's very smarmy and tool like and very off putting.

Thanks for the good luck!!!!! The child like occupants of the Mid Atlantic are so grateful dude!

*Now this is the part where you get a case of the "Who, me?!!?" and act like you were posting in good faith and we're just over sensitive. Go!

C'mon Randy. Perhaps "child like" had the wrong connotation. I only meant that I like to see adults lose their hardened veneer and act excited over snow. I hope you end up getting a decent snowfall. I'm hoping to get 2-4, maybe 5" tonight from the NS system and, though I see snow frequently even that little bit get me psyched too. You and your crew don't like me, that's cool. It doesn't mean that I feel that way about you guys. You're just over sensitive.lol

Let me also say...I don't have a problem with New Englanders or anybody for that matter coming in to talk about an analyze the storm if they are here in good faith. Coastalwx, weathafella and Ginx (for the most part) and some others get a passport. It's the obvious trolls that give that region the awful reputation across the other forums.

You can't come into another region's forum and condescendingly label them as child like and expect to get a warm greeting.

Coastalwx, Weatherfella and Ginx are all friends and you are correct in appreciatingtheir contributions. We are lucky to count them as family.

i don't tihnk you understand what i said. i could not care less if you spend your whole day rooting. it's the fac that at 11 p.m. last night everyone was cancelling the storm after declaring it giant at 11 a.m. etc etc. it's not normal and people who have been doing this a while should know better.

I stopped trying to define normal in my late 30's

Why exactly is the republic of Massachusetts so concerned with our paltry little snow/non snow event? It's a little confusing...a couple of the dudes I get it...they seem like nice guys but overall even for them I am not sure why a T to 2" event warrants them posting so much down here....eh...free board I guess...have at it boys

Well, up here we are having as much of a schitty winter (I call it Wonter) as anyone else. So when we see a bunch of people we (sorta) know from the board getting anything (and some will be getting more than 2") it is pretty cool.

At least for me.

Boston might set it's all time low snowfall total this year, despite a bunch of us not too far away gettting a 20" storm in Oct.

A sincere good luck. :thumbsup:

What do you call it when you consistently do the exact same things that you criticize others for doing and you do it in such a way that you can't hide the fact that you are acting in bad faith no matter how much you try?

I remember it from college psych but it's slipping my mind..........Ah! I remember. It's called skimargichosis.

Who is declaring it a giant? I think you'll see some measured responses in the model thread. I think most of the long timers have been very measured and cautious. So who are you talking about?

I think March 2009 might be an example that supports your argument. And March 1976. Maybe Feb 1972, though that was earlier than now. As was Feb 1995. In 2005-06 we had had some snow in December. I can't think of too many other cases where we were this low this late in the season, and pulled out a good snow. Which is why I said it was "unusual" in my post.

1958 if you want to go way way way back, no snow more then an inch before Feb 15th in the DC area, then 3 storms of 8" or more after that.

I think you're a bit of a douche, but I don't dislike you. As far as being overly sensitive....probably. But does it help for you, with your ill reputation that YOU earned on your own, to come in here using loaded words? Nope. You knew how that would be perceived here.

Wow. Now that would be something to talk about.

For me, I hope the trend continues to the point that we end up with a nice, pretty snow here tomorrow and then I hope we move straight to the 60's and 70's and that I'm mowing by the middle of march.

I was at peace with only getting clouds tomorrow and I wake up and see the models came north some... This hobby sucks

Well GFS is still a bit south. I'm waiting for that to come around. The NAM is noteworthy now because it's in a supposedly better time range AND it has some backup from the Euro. If it were on it's own, screw it. Not going down that path again.

everyone knows what we are up against......this is a pretty knowledgable group.....the weenie influx is kind of annoying, but most of us understand the odds pretty well....

I need a little more movement north if I want to see more than flurries, but I'm happy for you guys :)
