CoastalWx Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This place is lol in the spring/summer. It's unfortunate how much the post quality goes to sh*t. Most mets and normal posters are left with trying to insert normality into this subforum, but sometimes I wonder if it's better off to let it spin out of control.

Ginx snewx Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Where was this drought hype last year when BDR was almost exactly the same in terms of precip? Funny I didn't hear about it then. Oh it was brought up, then of course a 5 inch May took care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 yes I have learned you went anti dry and over hyped this 5 day rain event into something it was not. To be fair, you said you would start at 1" as a good starting point for the 5 days, no? It seems enough areas will have 5-day totals over 1" and that's what HPC had...a general soaking rain of 1-2" over a 7 day period. I don't know what you and Ginx have going on, but from afar it seems to have worked out as modeled. It was never going to be a drought buster but it certainly helps. Or maybe it doesn't and it might as well never rained... You're the one that works and uses rain to help you with your living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I said, no spin, wet period with some dreary days mixed around some fine days. As far as grumpy, lol. It is so green here I feel refreshed, energized and ready to hit the beaches soon ( even after working 18 hours yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looking forward to what the euro advertises as a great period of warm dry May weather . May is probably one of the most beautiful months visually with all the trees and flowers blooming every where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The 5 day pay the piper doom and gloom athon that Ginx touted by the way he said an additional .5-1.0 this weekend lets remember actually delivered the nicest day of the spring (yesterday) and has increased our rain deficit here. PAY THE PIPER! Looks like a washout today, tomorrow nothing but dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's sad, but we may actually have to moderate more during the summer. It's becoming difficult to discuss weather with the weenie biases and purposeful trolling. This forum has been a broken record for about 2 years. I like everyone here, but aren't most of you tired of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 And yes, I know I countertroll from time to time...but the weenieisms get so excessive it's impossible not to battle it back to reach some semblance of equilibrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Sun is out here, despite the Sultans assertions that I was lying when I said brightening skies.......or perhaps it was his classic passive aggressive trolling who knows.

PAY THE PIPER! Looks like a washout today, tomorrow nothing but dry. Take Brian's advice. Yes I believe an additional .5 will fall in spots and maybe someone gets an inch. I also said there would be a nice day. My original post said we would have to pay the piper for the incredible stretch of consecutive warm dry days at some point, you spun that out of control. I have discussed my opinion you deem it necessary to mock that, ok with me but whatever. Should be some decent showery type rains with some embedded Tstorms especially in western areas. Maybe a discrete cell or two in areas that destabilize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only folks that will get pissed at moderation will be the habitual offenders. Use the NNE thread as a barometer ...no trolling BS in there, just obs/disco with no hype and spin.

ORH_wxman Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 LOL at the dry talk. Remember when they were laughing when I pointed out how the Euro ensembles kept showing a change to a wetter pattern between 5/7-5/12...all we got was "dry begets dry" with no real meteorological explanation of why the ensembles might be wrong.

Yeah they did well. I know I clown around too, but some of the crap gets old. The pattern looks fine, in fact a good part of the country has received some beneficial precip except for the southwest.

ORH_wxman Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have not seen one post from anyone saying the weather has been bad over the last month. Everyone seems to be on the same page as you. What is paying the piper have to do with anything? I think he cannot make a weather post that isn't some sort of a trolling jab at a "manufactured enemy". I think 95% of the talk the last several weeks was how nice the weather was with that strong high pressure controlling our region. Its bizarre. This is a weather board and seemingly little meteorological discussion goes on without some sort of trolling. I think most of us are tired of it by now.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Tornado reminded me of the ones in Barnstable and Plymouth county about 10+ years ago.
