Brick Tamland Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 At least we have something to track. Hope this is just the start of more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Cold and dry or rain and too warm for snow. This winter is really going to stink if things don't change soon. Maybe this system is just the beginning of some good things to come if things follow WxSouth/Foothill's study. The NAM is actually trying to throw us a bone for the system later this week. I'm so glad and relieved that winter doesn't get scored and recorded in history from your perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some cool temps and rain every now and again. Most people could not care less about your opinion on the performance of this or any winter. You don't have the ability to think abstractly or outside of Brickworld. Many of us have stated over and over and over that we have experienced a fairly normal winter so far. But, "OH, HELL NO!", said the Honey Brickster. "This winter has sucked for me, and therefore it MUST suck for EVERYONE for FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRR". "But, Mr. Bric-" *SLAP** "I SAID HELL NO!", and in his raspy voice, parched from screaming and cold dryness, the Honey Brickster angrily places his oversized man paws around his ears to avoid hearing anymore painful accounts of people around him enjoying his winter of woe. *excerpt from "Winter of Woe" by C.D.

buckeyefan1 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 weather weenie 68 up, 11 down A weather enthusiast who gets excited by extreme weather, but who has little or no knowledge of the science of meteorology. Weenies often inhabit Internet message boards and issue "wishcasts", which are forecasts based on the author's desire for extreme weather. They try to justify their wishcasts with anecdotes and pseudoscience. While professional forecasters examine computer models to make forecasts, weenies often treat the forecasters themselves as data sources upon which to form their wishcasts. When an extreme weather event isn't going to plan, weenies will often react by issueing "bittercasts", which greatly overestimate the extent to which the supposed extreme weather has weakened. Weenies are very self-absorbed and emotional, and become morbidly distraught when a forecasted extreme weather event doesn't pan out in their backyard. Even if the forecast was generally correct for surrounding areas, weenies will angrily denounce the forecasters. Some made-up weenie quotes illustrating the terms: Wishcasting "I have a term paper due tomorrow that I haven't started yet, I think we'll get 3 feet of snow though, just look at the storm swirl on the satellite." "When DT and LC and JB agree on a forecast, watch out!" Bittercasting "Well, we're getting dry slotted and it's hardly snowing. The storm's a bust. We'll end up with 1/4 inch." (Later, weenie still gets a respectable 18 inches) "We only got 18 inches instead of 36. WORST FORECAST EVER" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Later, weenie still gets a respectable 18 inches) "We only got 18 inches instead of 36. WORST FORECAST EVER" oops I'm guilty of using agreement amongst the mets and the informed (especially the awsome ones on this board, like MSUWX, Robert, GAWX, Moto, Foothills, and the multitude of others from North Carolina, etc), local and surrounding NWS offices, then Ray and KM, as a tool. But one that it left out, that I use extensively, is if that the amount of snow to be expected is in direct proportion to the arguing and namecalling on the boards. and the snarkiness usually peaks just before snow hits. So while I honstly enjoy the back and forth and witty put-downs, as long as no one gets their feelings hurt too bad, its a good learning tool; but I'm ready for some more harmony if for nothing else because it will mean the snow chances are up.
