DopplerWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Some of my coworkers up in our Boston office are talking up the storm, really makes me sick to even read the NE subforum to see people upset about "only getting 18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGaWxNerd Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've hosted family for the last week and haven't been able to keep up with what's happening for the LR. From a quick read in Pattern discussion it looks like there nothing to get excited about or watch anytime soon. I missed what could have been my only opportunity to see snow last Saturday in NGa. I had a housefull, and it would have been rude to take a six pack and a sleeping bag and leave them all sitting. So I am hoping we have a least one more shot of something before spring arrives.

Either 4 inches or 11. That's a big span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 From the NE blizzard thread: I'm starting to get a litte nervous....if I end up with like 15", it's a fail....I know people will want to choke me for saying that, but oh well My emotional response: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I remember the old ETA model (now essentially replaced with the NAM) spitting out 2.0 - 2.5 inches of QPF here on a couple runs before the Feb 2004 storm...y'all remember that?

Lookout Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It would be nice if Mother Nature could spread around the wealth. I don't understand why it's so hard to get snow where I am. You'd think we'd be far enough north and close enough to the Atlantic to get more bombing lows off the coast when the temps were right. But it's usually too warm when we have a lot of precip, like last night, or dry when it's cold enough. Me too to be honest. Back in the late 90s (i think), but especially 2000 to 2005 or so, every time I turned around NC was getting hammered with snow and/or ice. Imagine how you are going to feel in about 8-10 days when we see it all happen again, this time DC getting a foot plus too. haha. Shut up lol I don't really take 5-10 day forecasts (or longer) seriously at all....fortunately...or i'd go crazy lol. We can't even get 24 to 72 hour forecasts so to worry about long range forecasts seems absurd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I will say this, GFS out to 180 is looking pretty durn cold....GFS is not backing down on bringing cold to the eastern states next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Meanwhile, chance of more snow for places further south like MS and AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I am not normally bothered by or get mad about new england storms but after 2 suckass winteres in a row, this one does....especially when lead stories HERE on the local news is about it. At least the good news is the mid atlantic...in other words DC, won't cash in on it.....that would truly make me sick and mad lol Chris...speaking of mad and sick...how's your back? You are posting more, so I'm guessing after 3 days or so the spasms cut back some and you were able to start getting some better. I've been wanting to talk back problems with you..to include how I fixed mine after 25 years, or so, of it going out 5 or 6 times a year....but you won't like the cure, lol.

WeatherNC Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I will say this, GFS out to 180 is looking pretty durn cold....GFS is not backing down on bringing cold to the eastern states next week. 12z Canadian looks pretty close for V-Day on the crude meteociel maps, +132hrs. 0z Euro dropped 850's here ~4C compared to the previous run, now 1.8 then to 0C (although 2m AGT's suck, low 40's!) with ~1/4" falling for the 14th. And since this is banter, why not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Gfs shows cold but we are supposed to be in sever cold now. Gfs showed that in Jan?? Then cold v day and now its after the 18th. For long it will be spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 There are a handful of people around here (including a variety of colored name tags) that have been going beyond naysaying and venturing into trolling territory. By far the majority of SE posters have been discussing the long range sensibly and I've seen very little "wishcasting" going on. The handful of people are trying, for whatever reason, to squelch discussion and the best thing to do is add them to the ignore list. Getting emotional either way (positive or negative) over what the models are showing is silly. Some of you need to cut the hyperbole, it's getting old. The rest of the adults will continue the weather discussion on the weather forum. Totally agree. Well said. Better here than in the discussion thread. Too to be posting maps like that at this point in time. EDIT- Just seen that was the DGEX. That does not even belong in the banter IMO. Really? WeatherNC can't post that map in the banter thread, but you can post about new restaurants opening up in Wilkesboro and the number of meth lab busts there? Which is more appropriate? Mr. Banter Police, lighten up a little, man. Banter is almost anything goes, IMO, and especially if you actually post a weather map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Not sure where to post this, but if you want to "observe" the storm up north live, this is a webcam located near Martha's Vineyard at someones farm. We enjoy watching it and it's great live feed. I thought it would be cool to see how the animals react to the snow piling up. We can at least pretend we're there! http://flyingskunk.com/live.php Well, one reaction that I've begun to notice is that the snow on the ground is taking on a decidedly yellow color right now. Seriously. Maybe that's due to the quality of the video, but I don't really think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTwx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I so want to go to the MA and NYC thread but it would be like your team is down 30 at halftime and you have to sit and watch the whole game.

superjames1992 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I don't understand why some people get bitter over NE getting a historic storm. It's amazing to watch unfold and with webcams, etc. these days we can get in on the fun, too! I mean, sure, I'd love to see it happen here, but if not here, why not there?

They've also had pretty crappy back to back winters as well...especially in the SNE...but just go to one of their threads and you'll see why people hate it.

Well, yeah, people bitching about getting "screwed" with 18" of snow as opposed to 24" is a bit annoying, but I can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
