Ginx snewx Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 OK and who is doing this? You, Kevin, and some others seem to take people's tweets and posts personally - like mets are out to say you're getting warmth and no snow at all times. It's a discussion thread - if people have model analysis or scientific thoughts on a pattern they can post them. Sometimes reality hurts - not everything can be Leon, Westerly Sound Effect Snow, or a 78 blizzard.butthurt response.,I have probably posted more level headed than you.

Damage In Tolland Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Because you tend to be the master of derailing threads lol Some snow would go a long way to make people less cranky though. Well that appears to be coming a week from now. the cold is here. snow to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ryan, at times some of the comments of some mods have been as bad as or worse than some of the weenie posts.

CT Valley Snowman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hole ? Kinda like my hood. Snow hole he's referring too bro. Let's face it elevations jump to 1000 to the east of the valley and over 2000 to the west of the valley near the Berkshire crest and we average 15-30 less per year and are usually 5-7 degrees warmer than the Eastern Hills and 7-10 degrees warmer than the Berkshires in non inversion situations. I personally think the Lower Pioneer Valley is very scenic in areas but definitely a relative snow hole for being so far inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Things are improving. The worst of this current horrible pattern is behind us. An interesting storm to track in the 6-8 day time frame. Whether it snows or not remains to be seen but the foundation of cold is returning and the modelling is not as persistent on a cutter scenario as it was.

Cold Miser Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 ...Obvious depression, angst, and overall anxiety due to our past (and hopefully changing) pattern is obvious in the last few pages of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 like mets are out to say you're getting warmth and no snow at all times. It's a discussion thread - if people have model analysis or scientific thoughts on a pattern they can post them. This is not aimed at any of the posters mentioned in the above post, which is why they have been deleted... but if you post something that isn't necessarily pro-snow or cold on here, you better well have a good backup because that will be challenged or rebutted. Even something as simple as posting a verbatim model run, with no emotion involved...just as simple as "The ECMWF is showing a cutter at day X on the new run" will certainly be met with some sort of resistence. However, when anyone posts something pro-snow or pro-cold, you usually don't need much reasoning at all. Its the posts that even imply something other than cold or snow that get met with the "WTF are you talking about?" or "huh?" type responses. We all do it at times, but if you think something may be heading in a not favorable direction, you better have some damn good reasoning for posting it, haha.

My long term average here about 10 miles north of Springfield is right around 50". That's fine with me. That might possibly be more than the red tagger from South Weymouth who responded to my OP.

CT Rain Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 if you are wanting professional discussion only then disparaging remarks and don't tell me his wasnt meant to be, should be left out. Raising the discourse Raising the level of discourse would be nice but what the post was about was keeping banter and non-analysis out of the analysis thread. How many posts has Will had to make about how weenies don't like to deal with "probability" and these long term/pattern discussions are almost always misconstrued by folks.
