jburns Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the First Annual American Weather Winter Poetry Slam!! Who's next up to the mic? If you're waiting for snow, from the Southeast's weather, you'd have better luck, tickling your ass with a feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncwinterwxman Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well of course the 00z spins off more energy heading straight to lakes..with the low in the Gulf just spinning the big pattern change might happen before it heads for us at this rate At 276 mild rain with the cold heading down on it's heels. EPIC FAIL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 If the GFS continues to change for the worse we may end up with a inland topical storm developing with widespread tornadoes, developing volcanoes, and wild dust storms along the immediate Gulf of Mexico.

Jon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I want to post but I've become so lazy with discussing these ****ty ass runs...Not saying the situation is the same as last year at all, but this continuous waiting for the models to figure out just what the **** they're doing does ring a bell...oh the days when we weren't waiting on a pattern change in the heart of December...good times.

Wake me up when December ends. This is nothing like last year....by this time last year I was spending the bulk of my free time hanging outside with the dog and not on this forum. We didn't even have anything to watch in the LR last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Not sure why I feel the need to comment on all these, but I've set myself up as the de facto moderator of the slam (even if my degrees are in mathematics, not English). If it's snow you want, It's snow you'll get Whether an inch or two or more On fantasy runs Long range maps And all else that's in store If we don't like what we see Wait for another run Or just walk out of the door The winter storm thread watch Is played out this way And this thread is never a bore! Well done, ma'am! It's quite catchy. I expected nothing less than this from a storied author. Watch weather models GFS and the Euro Staying up all night Burger took the challenge and ran with it! A truly memorable haiku. If you're waiting for snow, from the Southeast's weather, you'd have better luck, tickling your ass with a feather. A little simplistic, but still quite catchy, jburns! There once was a model from Nantucket... This last one had such potential... I'm impressed with the entries so far. The board is in good spirits. Thanks for adding to the Christmas cheer. Wilkesborodude, there's nothing preventing you from stepping up to the mic again should you so desire. I'll try to restrain the tomatoes next time.

burgertime Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 T'was The Night Just Minutes Before A Snowstorm Twas the night of the NAM run when all through the house A computer was buzzing with hand on the mouse There sat a weenie in his new leather chair the door was wide open letting in all the cold air Widre was typing with monitor aglow Complaining about Durham and it's lack of snow His Mom was screaming and yelling to him "It's too dark in that basement, get to a gym!" Just a few days before Kign Euro stood Cheez had even changed "meh" to "Good" "Boom" it had went with the perfect track But now it seemed that there were some cracks Brick was looking at radar and getting scared He'd heard about convection and wasn't prepared Five posted and warned he tried to be generic Speaking to only weenies he remained esoteric When out of the darkness a great clatter of keyboards began typing Someone had seen a snow flake down stream and many were yapping The board became strained and much of it slowed Wow did what he could but we were in "Storm Mode" The Mets they tried to calm everyone down But the trolls were out and making their rounds Lookout and WeatherNC came with their ban hammers The trolls with their talk began to stumble and stammer As all hope was lost the snow began Radar was back filling and going to plan Pictures were taken and shared in many a thread "Your wife will be happy with four inches" jburns said The mood had reversed and all were excited Even the naysayers didn't feel slighted As the snow ended, it was such a sight Happy snowstorm to all, and to all a good night.

WilkesboroDude Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I will never step up to the mic again. Guys, please pray for me that I pass this class. I am in jeopardy of failing my first college class...I just uploaded my final worth 20% of my grade that I did wrong...my average is an 80....I am hoping by the grace of God I pass the class with a 70 flat average. Waiting the verdict in the library before I go home to Christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard of Charlotte ups the ante with this fabulously written poem! The creative touch was very apparent. He worked in many key players/members of our board and captured the normal highs and lows of storm mode quite well. Awesome work! This was truly well done, sir.

Brick Tamland Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Can we have a rule that Brick has to stay out of the disco thread? No! What are we a, some yuppie private school...:-) Besides he's from Raleigh, that goes a lonnnggggg way. I actually was born and raised in Durham. And I don't see anything wrong with what I add to the forecast discussion. I think it's nice to have a weenie voice in there just talking about the forecast in general. I would do that here, but it seems people are too busy discussing other things besides the weather and it's more of an off-topic thread than a general discussion about the weather thread.

While I was over in Chapel Hill in my high school years... the Durham folks always used to correct us. It's Durham, rhymes with sperm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 A little simplistic, but still quite catchy, jburns! The fact that you called it simplistic, has virtually sent me ballistic. The next time you type such ignorant tripe, you'll be speaking to us through a mystic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
