Jon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 In West Virginia and there are a few inches of snow on the ground left over from the 1-2 foot snowfall Beckley had a little bit ago. Definitely loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So, if we don't see snow out of the system being hyped around Jan 3, does everyone make the jump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So, if we don't see snow out of the system being hyped around Jan 3, does everyone make the jump? Hell no. Pattern is active and if you just run any run of the GFS loop you can see things will be popping off in the southeast or at least the Atlantic coast come jan and feb.

calculus1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So, if we don't see snow out of the system being hyped around Jan 3, does everyone make the jump? I don't jump, Brick. I always hold out hope. Some of you have your emotions way too tied up into specific events and model runs. If these next two events don't pan out, there will be other opportunities in January, February, March, etc. Sure, I'll be disappointed that the upcoming events don't happen, but why do I have to feel the world is coming to an end? It didn't end on Friday, and it won't end if I don't get snow at the beginning of January. (If it did end, I wouldn't be hear to worry about it anyway!) There's always another day, another storm to hope for. The drama in here is quite comical, at times, and quite annoying, at other times. Let's enjoy the weather and the chase...

packbacker Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I don't know. I have a bad feeling if we don't get something good at the start of Jan it might be our only chance. If we get a PNA ridge and some blocking in early January that will probably be as good as a chance we have this winter. If that pattern holds for a few weeks than maybe we can get a couple of chances, if it snaps back after 7-10 days to the crappy pacific we has before we may be in trouble. I am thinking we snap back which means this Jan 3rd threat better pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get anything out of it at the beginning we might not get anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I may start posting in SE more often. I hate being smack between two sub-forum regions so I'll just use both.

calculus1 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yeah, not sure why we look so far out at what the models say but we keep getting suckered back in, though. It always seems something good is 10 days away but it hardly ever happens. Most of the time the good stuff around here doesn't show up until 48 hours ahead of time, and sometimes that is even too soon. The record storm of 2000 should tell us anything is possible around here. We always seem to be 10 days away from a good chance of snow. It gets old. Not sure why we ever trust the models that far out. We keep getting suckered baxk in, though. It seems the only time we actually get anything in my area is when something doesn't show up on the models until 48 hours or less ahead of time. And...this is why you should have consideration for WOTY. You just posted virtually the exact same thing in two different pinned threads during Storm Mode. Do you cut and paste to increase your post count? And...it was basically a variant of what Cold Rain had already posted earlier; i.e. you plagiarized someone else's post, but you took out all the relevant weather knowledge that Cold Rain had provided. Come on! Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 It would not hurt my feelings if the Christmas storm delayed it's arrival to central NC until really late Christmas night. My wife has been ICU at UNC-CH since Wednesday, and I've been driving there every day from Clayton. You gotta know me to understand... I grew up on the Outer Banks, where we had 2 roads, one with a 35 mph speed limit, and the other with a 55mph (now mostly 50). When I got married and moved inland, I had to learn to deal with people who drive 80 in a 65, 90 in a 70. I'm that old dog you can't teach new tricks to. I hate the interstates, I hate rush hour traffic, I hate driving at night, and I especially hate driving in any form of precipitation on these poorly marked roads, where the lane lines disappear in a drizzle. My current plans are to drive to the hospital Christmas Eve around 8 and spend the day at the hospital with my wife, and come back home Christmas evening/night for a shower/shave/long nap. So, if some of you have those magic gremlins that can hold off the rain a little while so I don't have to leave my wife alone too early in the afternoon on Christmas Day, I'd appreciate it if you could toss a little mojo around... especially since snow is going to be a non-factor in this area. And a very merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all of you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 We've turned the corner, but it's going to be a long road. During a hysterectomy to also remove a hopefully contained cancer, the colon somehow got a hole punctured in it, bowel was leaking into the abdomen, so they had to do a 2nd and more invasive abdominal sternum to pelvic bone surgery to correct the problem. Unfortunately, one of those 'risks' you sign off on when you sign the consent forms. She's dealing with 2 major surgeries in less than 36 hours, and at 68 years old, well, she's not going to recover quite as fast as I did when I had abdominal surgery (3 times - also cancer related) when I was a spry, fit 26 year old specimen. Hopefully, things I learned from my problems will help her in her recovery. Appreciate any good thoughts that come along - don't want to screw up the "we're always seeing snow 10 days out on the models" banter thread :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
