Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ever since you busted badly on the event that missed us by 100 miles, you have done a 180 and reverted back to your original winter self...we all bust badly...not sure why you are having this reaction....nobody is spinning or being unreasonable or crazy,,,,most of us have very modest expectations and have admitted the winter cancelers could be right...I am done participating here...If we can't discuss threats and possibilities on January 31st in a weather forum, wihout ridcule and derision when most of the discussion is fruitful and far from delusional then there is really no point in participating here....You have some weird vested interest in ehecking everyone's optimism and spinning what they are saying...even though everyone is modest and nobody is back patting....this winter is bad enough not to have to battle someone misstating what is happening...enjoy your forum... lol https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow https://www.facebook.com/HeadfulOfSnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 it makes perfect sense and I have no idea what is wrong with having a facebook page...You have a facebook page, forecast for CWG, written a book, become somewhat of an expert on severe and I have never ridculed or diminished your thoughts...enjoy your board...you have a weird interest in cutting people down for no reason ive openly praised you a million times. im actually generally fairly modest with my abilities. you take your ball and run off at least 3 or 4 times a year if we're being open and honest here. sorry i haven't jumped all over any hope on any model.

Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 who is doing that?..we arent being delusional but we are rooting for snow...Why can't we do that? Whatever.. Be pissed at me. I can easily go back and find tons of posts where I've praised you and said I have no skill on long range. You spin my comments at least as much as I spin yours if not more.

Stormpc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ok, boys. Take it easy. It has been frustrating, but let's not get overly twisted because of this. I appreciate everyone's opinion, right or wrong and I am sure I speak for the vast majority of the board that the reason why this community exists, and is successful and fun, is because of the differing opinions and thoughts...again, right or wrong, insulting or not. Let's just move on. I appreciate Zwyts and Ian's thoughts equally. I'll carry on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I know we have praised each other...but not sure why you have been acting this way...you do it every winter...this is a great forum...with excellent posters...forecasting is humbling stuff,,nobody is tooting their own horn...I thinkmy outlook has been pretty good but in the end I might have to grade harshly....I dont know where this nonsense comes from that I dont want it to snow because of some forecast and now I am rooting for something I dont believe in because of my outlook... It's fundamentally untrue that I don't want people to discuss potential etc. I actually keep almost all of my 'trolling' in banter threads and don't comment in analysis threads when I don't have anything much to say. It's unfortunate between us I suppose that I don't believe in LR forecasting that much.. I sorta feel bad about it but it has nothing to do with you. And, I've also noted multiple times that your forecast for this winter has worked out really well thus far. It's just been my impression over the years that people get vested in a forecast and want to see it verify.. which is one reason I'm thankful I've never had any real interest in LR stuff. Your forecast from here out is perfectly reasonable. We differ on such minor points it's silly to argue about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 this stuff is all about how one communicates it and expectations..what we are capable of and confidence levels and how broad brush something is and context all matter....I think most of us realize that who do the MR and LR stuff...That it is lower confidence is already embedded....Nobody is going to begin every post with "I really have no idea what I am talking out".....the lower confidence level is implied...this is fun stuff to discuss and there is some skill involved depending on how specific one gets.... we're mostly arguing two sides of the same coin. the difference is getting or missing that one 'lucky' storm probably. i have no clue if it will happen. i just lean pessimistic given where we've been. i generally limit my thoughts to what i see in front of me on the models and/or extrapolated out a smidge. our disagreements line up along whether we have 4 or 5 weeks of winter left.. whether we'll get a 2" storm or a 4" storm etc. but again i've praised your winter forecast more than i can ever remember praising a seasonal outlook. i'll be more careful with my words i guess.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 who is doing that?..we arent being delusional but we are rooting for snow...Why can't we do that?

Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 you have been praiseworthy but then you'll turn around and say snarky things...I just want snow whether minor or not and I am going to root for it...hopefully nobody has a problem with that....nobody here is bethesda boy im kind of a jerk at many times online. maybe in real life. im an only child who was never socialized correctly. im pretty honest with my deficiencies..

TUweathermanDD Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Personally I find Bob to be garbage, he's a cool guy on the air, but he's just not that great at forecasting. I'll take Sue Polka thanks to her ole VD 87 storm Topper is the man down in those parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
