Winter 2013 - 2014 Banter Thread


NEG NAO

Recommended Posts

Don't you know? Any event is a non event around here unless NYC is getting snow, a hurricane or a tornado.

People spend more time complaining about a thread being started, then posting constructive analysis. Who cares if theres A thread for a day 7 threat. If affects nobody negatively, if you don't want to comment on the threat dont post

Why that thread was locked/deleted is puzzling

The only model not showing something for Monday is the GFS.

lol, yeah it is model number 5 in terms of accuracy for a reason.  It earns that rating.  

 

Look at the accuracy rating at day 6.  It is a LOW 5th.

Then look at who are in a run for 1 and 2.  The two models that show us getting hammered.  Well, the ensemble mean and control run of the Euro anyway.  

 

The GFS is a friggin joke of a model.  I pretty much only look at the GFS to see what is NOT going to happen at days 5 and 6.  Then I look at the others to see what may happen.

Exactly. Who cares? The SNE forum does not have nearly as much bickering and modeling hugging as the NYC sub forum has.

My issue is that if someone doesn't approve of a thread then why on earth would that person look at it.  Stay away and do not post.  If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all!!!! There are several posters who are continually antagonistic and belligerant.  They TRY to be humorous but are just trying to get a rise out of others.  Pazzo is one that comes to mind.

Blizzard warnings just went up for parts of WNY. No snow here, but nontheless it looks to be an entertaining storm to watch unfold.

The further north the warm front makes it the less rain we'll have and the better chance of convection. That's what the NAM shows. The GFS is further south and wetter for the area.

Lmao, maybe try to avoid firing bullets when you've only been here for a second.

10 years.

Seriously though, does anyone notice the material decline in mets around here? The weeniesm is a primary cause.

Honestly.....I think of it this way.....I still consider this forum to be THE BEST source of weather information, as long as you know where in it to look and who here to listen to. These detailed discussions and forecasts on an individual storm, history of past storms, and climate discussion is really second to none. However, it is a public forum. If you take any category.....let's say, current media coverage.....Justin bieber for example lol.....and u open up a forum about it, there are going to be nutsos along with the level headed individuals. I don't think any weather forum will be perfectly clean and free of banter and off-topic chatter. The banter thread is for just that, and expecting people to stick to the rules 100% and not have anything posted in regular threads except good, detailed discussion that adds insight pertaining to the storm, is just unrealistic. That being said, moderators do a great job here of controlling it. I guess to sum it up, my point is that I've been on these forums probably at least 10 years now, going back to wright weather, eastern, etc and there have always been arguments and all of that between non mets and even mets. It makes it exciting and it is kept to a limit especially during storms. Cheers to the forum !

Yeah not sure what the issue is. This is a weather forum, who care how far away a threat is. Does it really hurt to discuss. People make mountains out of mole hills

Because if they keep allowing it, threads will be made for individual storms 2 weeks away before you know it.  It's a waste of space, and I'm sure moderators don't want to spend time moderating a thread for a storm 5+ days away anyhow. Not to mention there actually is a thread to discuss long distance storms/patterns anyhow.

Climo arguments ftl

If people want to weenie out and get excited for snowstorms on the Euro on day 5-7, they can go right ahead. The 1,700 post thread on the storm which sparked another round of trolling, bickering, and weeniegasms (another phantom day 5-7 snowstorm here this year) that won't give anyone south of Lake George any meaningful snow speaks strongly of the fact climo has to be weighed this time of the year.

Once to march 1st and beyond anybody who ignores climo regardless of the pattern is not too bright IMO. Next week will be middle of march and if the storm does happen we have to start hoping for heavier rates because sun angle is starting to become a more pronounced player in snowfall accumulation

Sun angle is overplayed, IMO. If snow is coming down any harder than light it will stick if it is cold enough during the day in March.

Thats why i said heavy enough brotha. Is it overplayed to a point? Yes, but it can be ignored if this storm happens and the precip isnt constant giving time for the snow to melt/compact having negative effects on the total accumulations

Let's get a storm before we worry about stickage. The euro still says no ( I don't really care about the ensembles/ control run at this point)
