On a rocker literally sitting on Grandma & Grandpa's back 40... Pics credit of one JBurns, a drive west off the hwy between here and Royal, honestly think we did better here than Front Royal. Last pics, cell signal sucks, and I am halfway down to the barm picking up a AT&T tower.

Tell Burns to roll his window down next time! :P

You guys got yourselves a good chase there. Thanks for sending back the pix. Maybe next winter, you won't have to travel so far to see real snow.

Now that I'm at my computer, I can copy and paste stuff. Here are some good ones:

"I get the same feeling hanging around here right now that I get when I'm at a funeral."

"Those are some long ass posts telling us how it didn't snow when all I need to do is look outside and know "

"It's in the mid 40s right now in midtown. Like I said, I'd be surprised if we get more than 5". That said, N & E of here could get a lot more."

"^Who cares what NYC is getting?"

"Lesson learned for me: ignore any and all future NAM model outputs."

"The analysis of all the model runs was really good with this storm. We dissected them from top to bottom. Hashed out all the fine details. Rode them to the highest high even as snow was already falling. The one thing we kinda missed was that they were all f***ing wrong."

"Did I really just read 2 complaints about getting 10+. Anyone see the movie falling down? I might re-enact tomorrow."

"it's march this stuff is going to melt in 45 seconds tomorrow"

"^Since when does rain melt?"

"Serious question: Will anyone actually examine why the NAM was so off here? I mean, last night we were all high-fiving how "the NAM had scored a coup, the NAM was back, the NAM led the way."..... Err,... It was a pretty big fail, even for a model that at one point suggest 70 inches of snow would fall in part of New England in the Boston Blizzard 4 weeks ago."

"^I'll check...maybe we ran the NAM upside down."

"I don't want to be a hater, but if NYC gets 12 inches....it won't be pretty."

"^If I had to bet I'd say they are going to feel the pain we felt today. Reading that forum is like "the NAM looks cold" sounds like us 24 hours ago. Look where that got us."

"why is WBAL interrupting Ellen to report on this storm?"

"^Better question is why are you watching Ellen?"

Carl Parker doing his amazing analysis of the storm. Using things no one has ever seen before on TWC.

 

Is anyone keeping up with the Weather Channel winter storm name thingies? This one is "Saturn", apparently. If the automotive brand wasn't dead I'd think this was some corporate sponsorship thing.

 

"This winter storm was brought to you by Saturn. A different kind of car company."

Wahoo!!  I told you you'd better watch out for Ga Tech come tourney time.  Miami got the pucker factor.  Whose next?  These freshmen have seen the light.  Big time win on the road with the title on the line.  Big time win.  T

That has nothing to do with me speeding. Get it right dinosaur. :P

Just masterful.  I love the "tactful" style of the MA up through the NE.  You never have to wonder where you stand, or what they're thinking.  It's a beautiful thing.

Heh, I watched the UNC-Maryland game tonight and they showed a few outside shots in College Park. I don't believe I've ever seen less snow than that my entire life, except maybe that one time I went to Badwater Basin in Death Valley. And yet, I'm told that UM had cancelled classes today. If true, then...oops.

 

What's that old saying about erring on the side of caution?  Yeah, that bollocks.

Forgot another great one I read.....someone made a comment that at their ratio of 3.124 to 1, they would need about 14" of QPF to reach their forecast snow total! LOL!

Go Tech! Impressive win on the road. That reminds me...I so miss the golden days of Bobby Cremins! ;(

I guess I just identify with the "no need to spray perfume on crap" philosophy.  I enjoy strolling the MA and NE forums just to read the blunt honesty, which by it's own terms is often great comedy.  Only in the NE would you read an exchange about weather that evolves into an angry pissing match about music, leading to the entire dialogue abruptly concluding with:

 

"If the name of your band isn't pronounced like it's spelled, f*** your band!"

 

I wish I could remember exactly when and where I read it, but I know it was in a NE forum.

And Anderson, Scott, Oliver, Mackey, McNeil, and Brown, lol.   This team will be pretty good next year.  And It doesn't hurt them this year that they played the whole season last year on the road.  Road games don't mean the same to them any more :)  T

 

LilJ...best mail in your check registered mail.  So they don't "lose" it, and stick you in the pokey :)  Speeding like that can put you on the Group W bench.   T

I am sure it would be a big cost to the weather channel (hotel and/or lodging, etc), but they have wheels on their vehicles.  Do they fly the mets in to meet the ground troops or do they travel by vehicle? 

 

If vehicle, just suck it up, take a loss, and go find the flippin snow.  What would he have had to drive to see a foot or more of snow...................20 miles?  I would have done that before going on live TV in 20 layers and a snow suit, only to take a picture/live shot with your hands in the air looking at rain and a bare ground. 

Sometimes that works but it is very hard to drive into a big storm and set up. If a forecast changes and they can still move ahead of time, they usually will. There are othher factors too especially on this one...it IS a story that DC got hosed...especially after all the hype and shutdowns.

I can't help but be excited about the future of GT basketball.  I think the top 3 leading scorers are all freshman.  I don't think any of them are jumping anytime soon either.
