frazdaddy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I wouldn't be so sure. I'm afraid we might be glancing at the GFS once daily just to see if there's any hope of a pattern change. Instead, all we'll see is endless SE ridge, nonstop highs in the 60s/70s with the occasional scattered thunderstorm, and endless cutters through southern Quebec. Maybe the GFS will throw us a few bones at D16, but the can will continue to be kicked down the road until it's April and it's too late. (heh) ok, now I'm gonna have nightmares till it does snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yeah, I don't usually comment about what is/isn't tolerated, but come on.

Neither Pack nor I said anything negative or disparaging and were just playing around. Not sure what's happening anymore. i also try to stay out of things, but at this point its getting so out of hand that i have to just say something. there were like almost no posts all evening in any of the threads. its like people are "scared" or afraid to post anything. i dont know what was deleted, but what i read a few minutes ago was joking and playing around like the se peeps have always been known to do. nothing bad at all, and the banter thread has traditionally been pretty wide open and rarely anything deleted. at this point, my concern is that if this keeps up we are going to lose virtually all of the long-time standing and posting members, who many times make comments i jest. i dont know whats going on or why this change, but it could end up backfiring and causing the se thread to disintegrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I guess my question for future reference is: Is there a rule at AmWx that stipulates that you can't discuss, joke, reference, insinuate, or describe another weather forum? I'm fine obeying whatever posting rules there are. But if there's no rule about that, then at least share the rationale behind removing posts, so we can better understand what is not appreciated and avoid it the next time.

I am confused about the animosity towards the talkweather forums. In the past we have talked about this and countless other weather-related websites. I looked up the posting rules and guidelines and found nothing against posting links to these type of weather websites. I don't know what's going on. There may be more to it than what we have observed, but it is a little disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand and fully support not letting the weather side disintegrate into bickering and behavior that would cause others to feel bad and not want to post anymore. But it feels like the pendulum has swung too far in one direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been around for what I consider a long time and check in many times a day to lurk around and read. I agree completely with NeGa. Over the last year or two the SE forum has spiraled way out of control. It ranges from some very good posters being belittled to the point of posting less frequently to anyone with a limited knowledge posting comments being ridiculed if their opinion is in anyway contrary to the overall opinion of the group. There are a ton of very VERY good posters on here, we all should take a few deep breaths and remember we come here because we enjoy weather and just because you may have a different opinion of what is or isn't going to happen you shouldn't be laughed out of the room....

I have a cached image on my phone, but I can't post it to show you. And, what do you mean by done? Basically, Pack referenced my screen name on the other site and I kidded him about his screen name here. That was it. Those posts are gone. Somebody removed them and we were just wondering why and trying to understand if there is a rule that we broke or something. That's all. Not trying to upset you.

I have turned into more of a lurker over the last two seasons after being around and friends with the original crew since WWBB days. Just not a fan of debating I guess.

Things got out of hand last week, I know you guys are trying to keep it tight now but hopefully you guys start to loosen up now. Let the playful banter between us go on in the banter thread, it's going to be really boring weather wise the next 4+ weeks. You see someone attacking someone, or saying something inappropriate you guys should drop the hammer, no doubt. Oh yeah, who cares if people reference other sites, when the first legit threat comes they will come back, they always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 in other news.... it's pretty cool to see the cold air bleed around the Apps today. You can see CLT is "warm" but points north, south, west, and to some extent southeast are colder.

Local Yokel Wx Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Got the snow guns out yet? We do, ready for Friday night and hoping for nothing more than a 5mph wind so we can get a nice spread. Anything higher than 5mph simply becomes a tighter line and means a few more hours to get the same spread when there is little to no wind. Might do some "Snowgating" at Western Saturday morning, making snow while drinking beers on campus, not a bad Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
