nj2va Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm pretty sure it depends on the way you talk about it.... as people have been gently suggesting to you, being! so! excited! so! often! makes your posts kind of a building caricature. Plus, the past two months have churned out >30" for you and <10" for a big chunk of this sub-forum. His posts are just fine. Chill out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Icez is fine but he has been really excited about the LR pattern all winter. That's because the medium and short range has mostly sucked. Euro's solution is a bit quicker than the gfs. I hope it's right. It would reduce our mix chances a little.

This winter has been great compared to the past few. I've never posted anything suggesting I'm bitter---- all I was saying is that a pattern that yields snow for Philly might not yield snow for Richmond or DC.

Ian Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I usually just lurk these forums, but are you seriously bitter over snowfall amounts? This winter has been great compared to the past few.Part of the issue is some people constantly chase storms that usually don't happen. We've 'piled' up the snow with mostly run of the mill stuff. Eventually it'll happen again but when that's all you talk about you appear to have way too lofty of goals or expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 i dig icez....it is nice to have someone who is bullish all the time...and he doesn't muck up our forum with philly BS even though that is where he lives...He is a giver...I'll take a giver over a taker every day of the week.....

gymengineer Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm sorry for how I expressed my view. Here's what I meant: If Wes were to go into the NYC subforum and express serious reservations about an upcoming period, the question would be is he talking about DC/Southern MD or NYC? Same thing here-- When icez is salivating over a pattern, is he talking about his back yard or 40S? Philly has obviously been able to score pretty easily this winter, including 8"+ events, so he has every reason to continue to be excited about the LR for himself.....

Heisy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just to clarify, when I make posts in this forum I am talking to you guys like I'm living there. I'm not going "oh wow GFS is amazing" while it shows snow for Philly & rain for DC. So going forward know that when I'm posting in your sub-forum I am a snow lover who is rooting for snow in DC. I come across as a weenie because I still am one. I stay up late for the EURO, I wake up morning and check the 6z GFS, when I'm out at parties I excuse myself to the bathroom to check the 00z. My girlfriend, while I imagine deep down she questions why she is with me, has finally began to just accept it. That being said I do have some weather background. I studied at California University of PA as a meteorology major for 2.5 years before dropping out to play poker full time(I am a poker dealer at a casino). You can verify that with the forum moderator "Rib" over in the Philly sub-forum. Most of what I hope I bring to the forum is just experience. I've been looking at wx models for 12 years, I've been with this weather nut crew since TWC forums, went to Wright-Weather, and so on...I can't always tell you why a storm is happening, but just years of experience helps me pick up on trends etc. Sorry to be off-topic it just seemed the conversation was about me on the last page. I guess it seems I post LR maps a lot. Usually I do this because I feel that I am personally good at knowing if a certain pattern has the potential to produce. While some of my friends were messaging me on facebook going crazy about the Wednesday storm when the GFS showed a ton of snow a few nights ago, I didn't buy it, I just didn't like the 500mb setup, and the SE Ridge roaring its ugly head. At this point I've almost totally moved on from the Wednesday event, so to keep my obsession going I go to the next event which is next weekend, which at this point looks to have some true potential. In 2-3 days if it looks bleaker, I'll then go to the next one, lol. PS. I know how to spell 'Heisenberg', in fact Breaking Bad & Game of Thrones are my 2nd obsessions...I believe when I created this new username Heisenberg was taken. /autobiography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for that. I share your exact habits in terms of heading to bathrooms to check a model run, etc. The frequent contributors in this sub-forum all have baked-in traits on the sliding scale of optimism. And in the end, everyone has to be IMBY. The best examples are when Wes types his "pessimistic for DC/eastern MD but maybe Leesburg could work out better" line and everyone in here knows exactly what that means in terms of sensible weather in our backyard.
