Fozz Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I knew revealing my age was a mistake. Many young red-taggers here have been posting since they were in high school. Some have been annoying in the beginning, others were ok, but regardless, making mature and informed posts will go a long way in being taken seriously. Wishing for a 5" ice storm and calling for temps to bust warmer for no good reason other than one weak model doesn't help you with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Guys, can we stop caring about NYC forum meltdowns or NYC this and NYC that? If you want to talk about NYC, go there. This is the Mid-Atlantic forum. I don't think many of us care if NYC is in meltdown... kthx Anyway, nice SREFs movement south. Hopefully prepares us for a good NAMming Come on Yoda. It's not Storm time yet. It IS funny what's going on in the other forums. And these model runs on Friday night have little to do with what happens Sunday night. Crunch time is Sunday morning. Have a little fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Sun angle is meaningful when light-moderate snow starts at 11am and tried to accumulate from there. Snow that starts at 7am and has 1-2" on ground by 10am and continues moderate+ all day=no sun angle issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing for a 5" ice storm and calling for temps to bust warmer for no good reason other than one weak model doesn't help you with that. Seriously, older posters were saying the same thing. I don't get these double-standards. Ian was repeatedly wishing for a crippling storm. Also, almost every storm where we were waiting for cold air to rush in it has come a little late. SREF's are a garbage model and definitely too warm but I wouldn't be surprised if the cold air is a bit delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also might be right about the cold air being delayed but let's wait until a decent model shows it before you start flapping gums about it.

hosj III Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm pretty sure we all agree sun angle won't be an issue. It's not like march 6th where we were mostly above freezing. We will be in the 20's easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the double standard either, I think it's too clique-ish but that's how it is here, life isn't fair. People who've been around for years and know each other get much more leeway with silly posts. Just make good posts for a while and add value here, that will always help. The cold air may arrive late, but I think we should wait a few days till we have a better idea to make these calls, since the storm is still way out of range for most short term models.

Curly Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Come on Yoda. It's not Storm time yet. It IS funny what's going on in the other forums. And these model runs on Friday night have little to do with what happens Sunday night. Crunch time is Sunday morning. Have a little fun. Thanks for that.

Grothar of Herndon Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's DC. I wouldn't be surprised if the SREF's verify on temps. Okay, but seriously, we should all consider the arrival of the cold air overdone by 3-5 hours. I wish an ice storm would set up over your house allowing you to join the woolly mammoth in permanent silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm a little concerned about the torch on Sunday at least as the NAM depicts it. We have seen this time and time again, where it takes longer for the cold air to arrive than anticipated. Of course it will flip to frozen eventually with a solid arctic air mass pushing in, but still...(sorry if I am beating the "it's going to be to warm" horse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
