Is long range forecasting soon to be banned in this sub forum?

Not at all. That's why we have monthly forecasting threads.

But having specific threads for a day 9-10 threat, complete with model PBP and talk of tiny shifts north/south, is not sound wx forecasting, and just leads to arguments and thread derailments. And to be honest, it's kind of embarrassing.

We're at a timeframe now where a dedicated thread for this week's storm is fine. I was just belaboring the point that we needed 1200+ posts to get to that point.

you need more moderators too - time to trust a few more people to do that around here - out of those 1200 posts is a large percentage of pure banter also the current March 12 - 14th thread was started before I started it here in the accu weather forum but they have better control of folks over there it seems

If it makes you feel any better: SNE, Philly, and the Mid-Atlantic all have threads for the pot o' gold storm. When was the last time we've ever been the final holdout? ;)

Bump.

It at least appears that NYC has the least number of mods. Whether that is true or not I don't know.

With spring comes seabreezes and backdoor fronts, though. Hopefully that isn't too wicked this year with the cold waters.

That is true. With seabreezes comes the end to severe storms for this area as well! Except for the north shore of LI when was the last time us on the south shore of LI actually saw a true severe thunderstorm?? Cant even remember the last time ive heard that loud glass shaking thunder either

Months of cutoff lows, 2% tornado risks that culminate in a muffled clap of distant thunder, waterlogged lawns, green inground pools, squash plants with powdery mildew blight... *shudder*.

 

265 days till December 1.

 

Months of cut-off lows?  Do you live in Nova Scotia?  This is the northern mid-Atlantic, it's not that bad.

It's been a while, for sure. 3 summers ago was a pretty good one in terms of seeing good thunderstorms make it to at least my part of Nassau County, but for sure the interesting weather will be over inland areas from here on, unless we see a nasty nor'easter in the spring which is still possible.

All it takes is a few days of 80s to get those water temps right back up.  They are still WAY above avg to our east.

At least a good portion of New England is gonna get screwed over to by this storm. That gives me great joy.

this storm has a high chance of busting forecasts in quite a few areas from the midwest trough the northern mid atlantic and new england
