If his post bother you so bad...I would stop reading them!!

 

(1) I don't like to censor anyone.  Even though they may post the same thing over and over, they are still opinions. As are mine.

 

(2) Brick is like an excitable cousin that always seems to be at your house.  He may not contribute to house hold chores or putting toys away, but he's your cousin and occasionally says things that improves your time together. 

 

(3) "I would stop reading them" - always easier said than done.

Score for at least asking the question instead of assuming it was only about you.

Having said that... :whistle: How have you not had that impression based on numerous members responses to you? Maybe ***hole-ish is the wrong word. But you have certainly posted with an aire of know-it-all qualities recently.

Well sort of.. I just don't like when things are discussed for a while and it never comes to fruition. It has been like this all winter. Same thing is being said about FEB with people mentioning the CFS showing cold 2-4 weeks out and Euro weeklies showing Miller As 2-4 weeks out.

The bust level was always at 10 for this area just over the SC line. But yeah, tough but such as is life.

 

 

It was a 10+ for Asheville.....an area that shouldn't be boarderline. Not a good look this morning on the way into work. Such is life with the weather. There is always going to be winners & losers. Really happy for the winners but, it sucks for us losers! :cry:

Sure enough Don. Hopefully lessons were learned for next time. But you are right about your area should not be on the board.

I can relate to that. 

 

But most people don't have an affinity for belittlement.  Of course we're going to respond with defensive words.

Not sure where else to ask this.

 

The Model Center (Beta) is not looping for me (on a couple different computers at a couple different locations, so I don't think it's on my end).

 

Anyway, is anyone else having a problem?

 

Any ideas on getting it to work if it is on my end?

Just out of pure curiosity, what *would* you like to discuss, this being a weather board and all? The sunshine and a high of 44 today?

Looks like the models were right about the snow skipping Atlanta. I still can't believe the snow literally got within 5 miles of my house and just collapsed. I couldn't have any worse luck. I'm almost ready to say screw it and bring on spring. This winter has been just as horrible as last. Maybe worse after this last tease we just had.

After reading this again, I must say that I'm always going to be glad to see those two getting along to some degree.  That will always be a place to start.

 

And you have to know that at some point, they will be right again.

I mentioned this in the obs thread, but Asheville seems to get screwed a lot of times when it has to depend on moisture from the deformation zone.  If it had been a few degrees cooler we would have had some great rates earlier in the day.  By the time the cold arrived, the precip was gone, and the energy had already shifted east.  I will keep that in mind the next time I see a situation like this.  Personally, I want to see a more classic overrunning event where we barely escape the warm nose.  There is plenty of time left for another event this year.

I admittedly don't know a ton about weather models, etc. My gauge on this board is Huffman for the expertise and Cold Rain for the mojo. Pretty scientific huh?

 

Pretty bummed for my 4 y/o, she's never seen any snow she can remember that was worth much.

 

We'll get 'em next time! Hope you folks don't eat each other alive till then, it's mad salty up in here this morning.

I think the models did a decent job overall, considering all the different variables that have to go right for snow.  The truth is that weather models are never going to be extremely accurate when it comes to precipitation.  Of course, if they bust on a rainfall event, nobody really cares or remembers.  Same with temperatures.  Who cares if a forecast is off by two degrees?  Well, that two degrees can make all the difference in a winter event.  So all the hand-wringing about the models never being right is just a lot of wasted energy in my opinion.

My grade for this winter is now a B+

 

- Hurricane Sandy snow showers

- Sleet Storm

- Jan. 17th epic snow rates I have ever witnessed...1-3+

 

Just need a normal winter storm and I will further increase my letter grade. 

 

Being a college math instructor, all I can say is that your definition of a B+ is much higher than any grade I would ever award for those types of results.  You must grade on the 25-point scale versus a 7- or 10-point scale.  :blink:

Yep. That's the case with most on here. Even if you know it won't happen, you still are being defensive over it.

 

Wait - l want to be sure we are clear on this.  The defensiveness has not been out of someone *suggesting* that they might be wrong.

 

It comes from someone *belligerently insisting* that they are wrong and are further idiots for thinking it the first place. 

 

I believe most of the charged exchanges between you and others (myself included) would have gone down much differently had an insulting tone not been used when questioning our thoughts on the matter.  I give you and everyone else on here the benefit of the doubt that we are adults and know what type of comments will elicit certain responses - and will act accordingly.

What insulting tone? I don't have an insulting tone when I make my posts. I just disagree sometimes with what is being said.
