WinterWxLuvr Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think there has been some harmless tongue in cheek lately. Which bothers some more than others. My biggest issue is that people think we are all in it together when there is such a severe elevation/location gradient this time of year. I've tried to emphasize the difference in climo between say 1000' in Fredrick county and DC proper but nobody wants to hear it. This can be a productive pattern for those far west with elevation so it is worth discussing in that context if you are a fan of snow somewhere. First - yes, definitely. Some act as if this board were a place to post the latest data from their own private meteorological research laboratory. These people hate fun and they hate seeing anybody having any of it. Second - There has been a great deal of difference this year in locations. This has definitely been an elevation dependent season. And, yes, the climo suggests that that is usually the case. It isn't always the case though. Those of us out here have really wanted to see you guys get a good snow. Problem is, we don't control the weather. You've been the best poster all winter in my opinion. Even though you've had a ton of bad luck, you've always demonstrated that you are a fan of snow, even if it's not outside your window. Your luck won't stay rotten forever. It may not change now since we are so late in the year, but sooner or later it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year with snow, I'm 100% IMBY though. Great for Winchester, etc if they get snow in this pattern. I'd rather seasonal temperatures, not mid 40s and windy.

ravensrule Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Wintry appeal is a dumb one Snow weenies are the worst Agreed except that severe weenies are 10 times worse, must be why there are so few of them because you have to actually be insane to be one .

We almost never track systems from so far out and expectations are much lower.. That alone is a huge difference. Plus tstorms tend to produce even if you miss the svr.

Plus tstorms tend to produce even if you miss the svr. You are forgetting all the DC split cases where we get little. If a severe storm occurs in La Plata and you live in DC, is that one worth watching? Of course I'm an avowed snow weenie though by March, I'm usually not that interested.

Plus your period for action is much longer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm an avowed snow weenie though by March, I'm usually not that interested.True tho I think that's gotta be an expectation going in. I love convection. It's perhaps the most awesome wx phenomenon and maybe the trickiest to forecast in advance.It is a double standard for me I suppose. I have little major interest in tracking an anomalous late season storm that will give me crud or rain especially if it gives people snow close by. Ill still peek for the off chance of something better for me but we get enough cold rain in Feb I don't need more at the end of March. I'm totally cool with ppl discussing whatever to their hearts content. My problems are more along the lines of why the analysis thread is full of junk commentary after pretending all winter that we wanted to have a banter thread for that stuff. We've never been consistent though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just so rough to contain yourself when your not getting any snow and there is nothing really to talk about except the fact that the most recent model run screwed you again.

jonjon Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Got 5" overnight putting us over 200" for the season! Next week looking very snowy, too. Next weekend may be the best ski days of the season. Anyone looking to take up cross country skiing should consider coming out, epic conditions and low crowds. www.whitegrass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
