jburns Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well said Let this be a warning to everyone. No more fantasy land maps and if you want to complain,or have nothing meaningful to add, keep it in the banter thread. I'm tired of listening to the whining and having to scroll threw the mess in a pinned thread. This is not th MA/NE and the se crew is better than this. Psst........only 86 days until meteorological spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Levi32 is the best thing since sliced peaches. I am glad some of you like him. I did not mean in any way that he is better than anyone here...or say that other forecasts are trash. I think the point was someone agreed with him and mentioned him in the December thread and that's it. I did say I get a better understanding from his video...compared to others. It's really clear w/ visuals IMO. Like his tropical videos, he does it as a learning tool, not competition/pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 All I hear when reading these things is the teacher's voice from Charlie Brown cartoons. It's not worth the systolic boost to worry about right now. Even when some mets say the trend does not look good, at least for December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Even when some mets say the trend does not look good, at least for December? December SchmiSchmember - How many Mets out of how many Mets are saying that? I get it though - the Met in question is a great one, and very respected. The reality is that it's December 4th. If this month turns out to be a tad warm so be it. But something, somewhere made a whole sea of Mets and weather wizards come to the same conclusion about winter 6 or so weeks ago. I have not seen anything close to resembling a mass defection from that consensus. And I have to keep going back to the present circumstances: The atmosphere has a different starting line up than last year's club. At the end of the day, deep down in your heart of hearts...you know it will at least be better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players might be better this winter, but if that trough is too big to get rid of, it won't matter. Right now I'm just telling myself that the first 3 out of 4 days in January 2000 were in the 70s, and overall that winter sucked, but we had a couple of big time events at the end of January that more than made up for it. So, even if this winter stinks overall, maybe we can have something special like that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may become a nagging problem - but you can't know that right now so why worry about it? If it's still there and causing chaos in late January, I'll come pick you up and drive you to the cliff myself.

NGTim Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 as I updated my map location on burger's map, I realized I hardly ever post anymore, because I am confined, rightly so, to obs, and I was skunked last year in the snow department. I am enjoying the reading and the back and forth though. Maybe Larry could add my post count to his climatology statistics. Seems like there's multiple parts of winter to me. Pre-winter (dec 1 till the Jan thaw), Winter (jan thaw till feb or march (feb the last two years), then late winter (march - april (if I road trip to NC mountains). So without adding or commenting on "winter's over" hysteria, I'm gonna just not worry about pre-winter, and concentrate on that part between Jan thaw and feb-march. If we get something before, around, or after Christmas thats a bonus (heck, I live in GA, so what do I expect). I do feel bad for the southern ski industry if we don't get much before Christmas, but as far as mby, I'm enjoying the warmer temps in my old age and thinning blood. But once Jan rolls around I'll be as ready as if I was 12 years old again for snow, and lots of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The banter thread is a perfect place I strongly disagree. The banter thread was created to keep what amounts too personal chatting out of the weather threads. It has done a pretty good job. Weather maps do not belong in the banter thread, fantasy or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just because people say its not going to be cold and/or snowy doesn't make them negative or cliff jumpers. The weather can be unpredictable to some extent but even that is an overstatement, as models and pattern recognition can take a lot of the guess work out of it. The odds are this winter has a better chance at being warmer than normal than being colder than normal, there is no arguing that. Nobody is saying its going to be an end to end torch like last year but December is going to torch, I think that's fairly evident by now. So now the question is what does Jan/Feb have in store...with the -PDO dominating so far why would it stop dominating in Jan/Feb. I think we will get a few cold shots but its hard to imagine any winter event of substance without the pacific improving and that doesn't look likely.

WilkesboroDude Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 You know December is going to be bad, when the GFS does not deliver me the goods in the 300+ hour range to post. Also, you know it's bad when the New England region has freezing rain as their best hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGaWxNerd Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 So today I bought a Christmas Tree and burned leaves in shorts and a tanktop. Even broke a sweat a few times. I would just enjoy the usual southern Christmas weather of 60/40, cloudy with a chance of rain. Summer in December is no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
