frazdaddy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 yeah....a bit too much hand wringing and bickering over something thats gonna be what it's gonna be. If it's warm the heat bill is low. One of the reasons snow is special for us in the south is because it just dosn't happen very often. For my part at least it is alot more interesting with things to talk about this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So you guys don't think it is going to warm up because the models can't be trusted? It just seems they can't be trusted when they show snow around here if it's more than 48 hours out. But if it shows a warm up it'll probably happen. Just the way things are around here the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 On a good note it is thundering today. Maybe that old wives' tale will be true with the system after the first of the new year. Might as well trust that if you look at a mofel for 10 days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Lots of folks on the Jan forecast thtead also talking about Jan turning warm at mid month. So I am not just making stuff up. Maybe we can cash in and get one big storm but it is going to be awfully hard it seems after the first week of January. And then we can just push things back to February and hope then. Maybe the players on the field are all there, but if they still aren't good enough to produce a win, does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I agree. Too much drama...that is basically my gripe. That is my point. Can't understand why people get mad for someone saying it is going to be warm or cold. It has been going on for two days... I generally have no issues with your posts. They are fairly informed and well stated. It would seem that the matter of fact way in which many posts have come across this year (not pointing to anyone specifically) have caused others to perceive a superior tone and basic jaw slapping (again - not specific to anyone). As much as I hate the phrase "micro climate", it is difficult for us all to understand certain progs when we have seen the opposite ends of the weather spectrum. I have benefited greatly from the AO/NAO relationship since April, in spite of a predominate - PNA. Others have not. So when I read so many comparisons to last winter and some out right statements as "fact" that this year is/will be the same, I frankly don't get it. So far, nothing has seemed too far amiss to me here in my *cringe* "micro climate". Except the stunning rain coup in the last 3 days. Personally, I don't think you're being negative. So you guys don't think it is going to warm up because the models can't be trusted? It just seems they can't be trusted when they show snow around here if it's more than 48 hours out. But if it shows a warm up it'll probably happen. Just the way things are around here the past couple of years. Allow me to answer your question with another question: Are you waiting for all of us to make your mind up for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Just saying it seems when the models call for snow here more than a couple days out it almost never happens. When it shows a warm up in winter 10 days out it always seems to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So we have to prove things in the banter thread now? How about that just seems to be what happens. More times than not when the models show a snow more than 48 hours out in central NC it doesn't happen. However, if they show a warm up in winter 10 days out it usually does happen. That's just my experience living here. Most of the time no one knows what is going to happen if there is a chance of snow. But when it shows no chance and warmth in winter here, more often than not it happens that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Things look a little interesting for time being, at least the word in in the forecast! lol But i'm sure it will change many times in the next week, just hope it changes for the better... .SATURDAY...RAIN AND SNOW LIKELY IN THE MORNING...THEN RAIN LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON.

If a model shows snow more than a couple days out for central NC, most of the time it doesn't happen. If it shows a warm up, though, it usually happens. It's just easier to handle the warmups than it is for everything that has to go right to get snow here. Ask anyone that has lived here for a long time and they will tell you the same.

Cold Rain Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 DT says it's going to be cold in Jan and Feb, so I'm thinking things will pick up soon. We usually get more snow in Jan and Feb than December, so it's good it's going to be cold then. I think we will get snow then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'd rather it be cold and snowy. But if it's going to be cold and dry, I'd rather it just be warm. But if it's going to be warm and wet, I'd rather it just be spring or summer. If it's going to be spring or summer, I'd rather it be cool and stormy. At least there might be severe weather. But if it's going to be cool and stormy, then I'd rather it be winter. Because cool and stormy in the winter would bring snow. That's what they say. So if it's going to be cool and stormy in the winter, I think it will snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
