:lol:

Why don't you just stop posting if all you do is make fun of people?

Can't we finally get forky 5-posted or banned? He contributes nothing.

When you say you fell into depression because winter is coming to an end, just what do you expect him to do? lol Depression over snow, hilarious.

For me, following winter storms and learning about the meteorology behind them is a serious part of my life. Sure there are more important things, but to me long walks in the snowy woods, chasing long-range threats on the models, and predicting the pattern using ENSO/PDO/QBO/AO is one of my main hobbies. I enjoy both the outdoors experience of winter and the drama and passion among the weather community during the cold season. I am a skier and a hiker, though I do enjoy warm weather activities like hiking, biking, swimming, etc.

0.25" accumulation

 

Nice steady snowfall in Dobbs Ferry with all surfaces coated except the streets. Looks great after I fell into a depression bemoaning the end of winter earlier today. However, winter appears to be having one last blast with the 3/7 storm trending north and snow falling today. Ice is still on most of the ponds and lakes around here, and I noticed quite a few piles from the 2/8 Blizzard, so there's still some wintry scenes remaining. Tonight is a reminder that it's not quite spring yet!

LMAO, you sound like a poster who lives in northern Alabama.  Oh!!  Let's record every quarter inch of snow!!

Well if a person is going to keep a set of accurate weather records for his or her location...it is certainly good to record everything.

That's great.  I'm not sure the rest of us care?

 

Flurries on the 2nd day of March is about as noteworthy as a day in the mid 80s in July.

It is a board devoted to the interests of weather enthusiasts / hobbyists...so it is likely some of the readers do.

its obvious as of right now that this storm will not be able to move up the coast to produce enough dynamics here to have a mainly snow event - need those dynamics in this situation to create and draw in cold enough surface temps because the surface temps progged are too warm so what ever falls will be mainly liquid in immediate NYC metro. Temps Wednesday and Thurs are progged to be in the 40's . So unless the future model runs bring this system farther north just off the coast to draw in some colder air its mainly a light to moderate rain event.         

 

There is no need to put the same post in two different threads.

why - is there a rule against that too ? Just wanted to stress my point - because a couple days ago a few select wise guys were telling me I was wrong in a rude sort of way too - anyways I did just delete it out of the other thread

 

Since you use the word *too*..I'll assume you consider my reply rude as well...I don't know if it was rude...perhaps less than entirely pleasant would be a better description. 

Anyway...the reason would probably be your use of the phrase "it is obvious <such & such will take place>"  Even if you were reading the charts correctly...which you were not, IMO, there is an element of arrogance when you tell people it is "obvious" that they are wrong & you are right.  Hence the less than friendly replies.

yes right away instead of intelligently telling me I was wrong in a civilized manner - they throw in personal attacks - comon William they have done the same too you here

 

If they attack me...and not too many do...just a select few...it doesn't mean squat.  It's not like I have to live with them or deal with them on my job...just some random names out in cyberspace...same as me.

Lol...most of my arguments were about wind direction and 2m temperature...I never even addressed if we would get into good precip / snow.  We are now getting to close to 72 hours of the event...so a semi-consensus amongst the models should quickly develop...if we do get into anything it should be after 0z Thursday...the 12z NAM showed precip up to about Sandy Hook at hour 84 and slowly creeping northbound...if the confluence over the Caznadien Maritimes / New England relaxes just a hair...if the low deepens a bit more than progged...mid latitude cyclones off Norfolk, VA in early March don't start moving ESE or due east all that often...let's see the balance of the 12z suite to get a better idea.

Hmmm, flurries?

 

Some of us had a small event last night. It snowed for 6 or 7 hours. Some of us got up to a half inch of snow. The salt trucks were out salting the main roads at least in this area.

 

Since I've been reading this forum and the previous forum, going back to about 2004, posters have always talked about such events.

 

And the people who care about those events read about those events, and the people who don't care about those events --- Don't.

 

What part of all of that are you having difficulty with?

Increased warming can also lead to warmer SST's and more moisture potential for heavier pasty events with marginal temps over lighter and colder fluffier events.
