Cold Rain Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes, this looks like an all or nothing thing. Either a big winter storm or all rain. Or something in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm going to borrow Bevo's favorite word and just call it like I see it here: "Bollocks!!!" Those of you who say you're "tired" of following all these storms and would just rather have spring are liars. There. I said it. If you're so ready for spring, what are you doing on this board, especially today? Go out and enjoy your spring temps and quit whining and complaining in here. You're just being malcontents and trying to give the impression that you're ready for spring when really you would give your right arm for a 1-foot deep snowfall and as soon as the models flip back tonight or tomorrow, you'll be back on board the train. (And before somebody asks me to name names, I'll go ahead and decline but rather offer the previous two to three pages of both banter and discussion as potential evidence for you to figure it out.) Now, pull yourselves together and get ready for another storm tracking or please leave the rest of us in peace as we enjoy our hobby of following potential storms. I don't enjoy this board because of the complaining I get to be witness to but because of the somewhat sparse (lately) weather knowledge that gets dropped. If your emotions are not mature enough to handle the ups and downs of model flipping, go do something else. I feel better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's been trying all winter, lol! More and more, we're starting to hear warmer after mid-month. Robert, JB, and LC at least are going for a warm March. Nobody knows for sure, but given that, the trend toward a +EPO (as Don states in the main forum), terrible looking indexes, and nothing but garbage on the GFS and Euro after this upcoming storm, I am becoming quite concerned. So I hope we can get some blocking, with the cold air remaining on our side of the globe. I'll just never have any faith in a "good" March, no matter the indexes. Yes, I know it's possible, but in reality it's just always too warm. I think last year proved that. With the huge amount of blocking we had in March and April, it simply remained cool...not cold enough for winter precip outside the mountains. I think this weekend is our last chance, IMO. That's not a huge leap, but I'm just saying. I am actually looking forward to next year seeing the last I heard, it's looking more and more like a Nino. That could be our year to watch the winter weather travel from TX across the gulf to the carolinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be our year to watch the winter weather travel from TX across the gulf to the carolinas. Early March is actually statistically one of the best, if not the best, periods for snow in our areas. March 2009 is a good example, and March 2010 for areas further north. IMBY, March averages 1.7"/year, which is pretty impressive when you consider that almost all of the snowfall from that average comes in the first week or two of the month (of course, there's exceptions like 3/23/1983). Our January and February averages are around 3", but that's spread throughout the month. With all that being said, I don't have much faith after the first week of March. In addition, the sun angle becomes a real and viable threat and could be the death blow to a daytime storm, especially if BL temperatures are marginal.

JoshM Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 -1 if you live in Waycross ! 5 if I lived in NC. It could just be rain in NC, but could be anywhere from ZR with 1 inch QPF to a crush job snowstorm. It's trending better on most models. From what I've read today, you want the energy to stay weak and not close off and go further south! I hope 18z shows a whopper for both of us...

Bevo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have a stress test in the morning. I'm 38. Bad genetics or something like that - I wasn't really paying attention, but the point is I have a stress test in the morning. To quote the cult classic film 'Armageddon': "Great, I got that 'excited/scared' feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - It could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense, it's so - confused. I can't really figure it out."

I kinda had one about 8 years ago. I had to get on a treadmill and get my heart rate up to 220, then let em shoot some dye in my system and ultrasound my heart.

Cold Rain Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 My son had supraentricular tachycardia when he was in the hospital after he was born...one of his many heart issues at the time. I watched the monitor as his heart raced to over 300 bpm. They were about 2 minutes from injecting some pretty powerful medicine to reset it. All of a sudden, he dropped out of it. Scary stuff.

Damn doctor brought in the youngest most beautiful nurse I've ever seen. No damn way was I going to quit. The doctor kept telling me I could stop if I needed to. I think I nearly killed myself on the damn treadmill before the doctor told me to stop. If that nurse hadn't been in there I would have quit 5 minutes in.
