I'd be satisfied with 2" of snow.    That doesn't mean I won't want to see Bob Chill on a spit roast if he's in SN+ for hours and getting 6".

 

Apparently, Randy has some kind of physcoanalyzation (is that a word?) disorder that equates lack of snow with fire.  Intriguing.

I realized this morning that I was going to hit 10k posts today and at first thought it was kinda cool. But then I thought about it a bit more and realized a couple things.

 

#1, amassing 10k posts on a weather forum indicates unusual personality traits. You know, the kind of traits that doctors could construe as borderline obsessive compulsive, psychotic, deranged or as most normal people would say, just downright weird.

 

#2, it's clear that I either have lots of free time or I'm wasting too many valuable minutes of my life lamenting about weather in general and most importantly, if it's going to snow in my yard. I've decided that I'm wasting too many valuable minutes. But I appear powerless over my obsession with a stupid pile of frozen water for whatever reason and I  blame it on #1.

 

So I have some sort of mental illness that's basically harmless with the exception of occasional sleep deprivation and unreasonable mood swings over something as stupid as not getting snow. Do I need treatment or company? So far I choose company. Many are here for snow but plenty are here hoping for f5's in their yard or cat 5's in their town, or even volcanos and earthquakes or a random meteor strike (these aren't technically weather but there are rooters here. you know who you are).  We're all a bunch of sicko's that normal people think are weirdos. But as we congregate en mass, so we become normal.  Works for me.

 

Lastly, also realized that post count is an estimated sickometer. The more posts you got, the sicker you are. Anyone over 10k is seriously afflicted. Not some casual observer. But a seriously afflicted and damaged individual. Need proof? Let's just take the top 8 from Amwx:

 

CoastalWx: 60k+. He's a bit of an anomaly though because he contributes quality stuff tirelessly. He's more of a professor of the weenies than a sicko so he gets a pass.

 

Damage in Tolland: 37k+ posts. Not sure I need to say much else here.

 

Weatherwiz: 36k+. If weather stopped happening he would spontaneously combust

 

ORH_wxman: 35k+ posts. He has to moderate the forum that has the 2 most afflicted individuals on the board so he gets a bit of a pass

 

Ian: 31k+. No pass here. It's obvious

 

Ginxy: 30k+. Wow

 

Hubb: 26k+. Wow

 

Yoda: 22K. Self declared sicko

 

Some honorable mentions to further prove my point: Stormtracker, Snow88, ALEK, Mapgirl, Fozz, Zwyts, H20, PhineasC. There are plenty more on the list too. It's almost too scary to read the list all at once.

 

Does anyone remotely question the sickometer? Irrefutable evidence my friends. And now I'm part of the 5 digit club. I don't feel like I accomplished anything special or unique. The reality is the fact that my only prize is joining a group of very afflicted people. This is not noteworthy, brag worthy, or even something I want to tell my friends and family.

 

So here it is. My 10,000th post. I am one weird dude.
