MAPPY....  You better not be shoveling snow...  *shaking my older, overbearing, sister-like, been there done that, finger at you* :):wub:

 

I'm gonna start popping the Aleve now, to get ahead of the sore muscles to come.

 

Mine are already sore.  That was a heavy, wet snow.  I was more soaked from sweat than the drizzle.  Good exercise tho

So, slowly over the course of the day, my employer kept closing different offices: DC and Connecticut opened, and eventually the handful further north also closed due to "severe weather".  So, then the head of our southern California office announced the office was closing early due severely rad surf conditions and glorious sunshine.

Completely OT, but just thinking about fun snowstorms I've experienced.  There was one back in, I guess, 94/5, when I was living in North Jersey, that was modeled for 2-3".  But it turned out that the models didn't account for the placement of the low, which created a lake effect snow coming in off the Long Island Sound.  Westbound LE snow off the sound wasn't a frequent occurrence.  The Bronx and North Jersey ended up with a streamer that left about 10" for 100 miles, but only about 10 miles wide.  That was good.

the current ull disco is suprisingly bad.. i'm sort of dismayed

 

Not dismayed, but pretty durn irritated at the obs w/o locations. I know where a large number of long-time regulars live, but srsly, do people expect one to memorize legions of posters? Put in post or go to "my settings" --> "signature". I'm usually not like this but I'm getting all shirty about it!

Yeah, kinda annoying not to have that. I wonder if we couldn't just turn off the wunderground ob part as that's what would be drawing on the load. Alas not my area of expertise.

I like how CWG did a poll about whether or not the storm should be named - NOT naming the storm won 60% to 40% and they still named it. #autocratic

I finally have flipped my mind on the naming thing but Snochi is pretty terrible. ;)

Totally not my area of expertise. But I wondered that same thing too. Obviously the choice was made to keep signatures, so I guess they're not as much of a problem. Sadly they tend be a lot less useful.

I just shut my computer down, and have joined H2O in beering it up.

Ll probably be asleep by 8:00 tonight. I don't function well on 2.5 hours of sleep. :(

My office closed today, technically I shouldn't have to work. However, I must be important so I had to do some work.

The last few naming things have been pretty bad...

I think ever since derechosauruswrecks it's been a steady decline. Makes weather and meteorology out to be even more of a joke than the public already thinks :P

It's definitely social media - we'll never have a name like "The Blizzard of 96" ever again. I don't even want to know what that would have been called...
