You boys quit arguing semantics and help me with a real problem. I feel the need to pen a quick questionnaire for the new "flavor of the week" coming to dinner tonight. My daughter is 16 and stunning, we require all boys that think they have a chance of taking her out, to have dinner here first. It's our goal to blend humor and intimidation tactics as parents to make sure our lovely girl is appreciated by the beau.

 

Current standings Parents 6, Boys 0.

 

She has yet to have an unsupervised, car date. Last flavor was tagged "Ditcher" because he left her at Barnes and Noble instead of waiting until we picked her up.

You disagree most of the time. And the most that I ask is a scientific reason why?

The models weren't showing a substantial snow event until the day of the event. Before , surface temps were a torch and 850mb temps were very marginal. The NAM was the only model showing a snow event. You guys chose the NAM over the GFS and the GFS nailed it. NAM was too far S and since when has it performed better than the GFS? It seemed as though the ULL lost some of its dynamics as it crossed into GA. Precipitation just evaporated as it struggled to reach ATL.

Yet you are at half your seasonal snow average already, and it has not been too dry and cold either. Just curious, how are you getting this grade?

Easy. Below average snow so far that was all but gone the following morning. I said so far. We were supposed to be in a favorable pattern for snow and have little to show for it so far. I am talking about in my backayard. It would be a D so far because it has been below average so far.

Just because you have a favorable pattern does not mean things work out for snow. Besides it's still Jan, you act like Dec is a snowy month when it's not.

Actually the gfs was just as bad as the nam. At least for western NC. Snow was showing up many days in advance for the mtns, which is where I live. It only started showing snow for central NC 2 or so days beforehand. I agree the upper level low did not have the dynamics that was modeled, these are my thoughts exactly as the comma head structure never formed over the mtns. The temps fell as was modeled but I think the upper low transferred the energy to the coastal low too quick. Thus leaving us cold and dry.

You're asking for help? With a 6-0 record, you seem to be doing great.

I think you missed two key words in what I wrote. I said so far. So far.

And I don't care how good the potential is. I am grading on results.

That's fine. But my point all along has been that you think too highly of Dec when it comes to snow. I think like me, you average more snow in March than Dec? And so far you are on  average for snowfall.

I think I have had just as much snow in December than February the last few years. Besides, we don't really know when it will snow. So, I am not really counting on snow in February just because it has snowed more in February in the past. I am grading on what has happened so far, and so far it has been a D. Now maybe it will snow more and the winter can earn a better grade. But I can't see in the future and grade now on what might happen.

Besides, Cold Rain gave it an F- so far.

When the sky is blue it is in the process of healing. 

 

 

So in the middle of spring and summer when skies are blue and we are in a drought I assume its healing then? Really? :whistle:  :whistle:  :axe:  This guy made a comment the other day that I don't know weather.  I have never claimed to know weather but this has to be the dumbest comment  I have ever seen on the forum.  Skies are healing when blue, wow what they teaching our young kids these days in college
