 No WOTY contest this year. Very sad. :( It had been a very important part of the holiday season for a number of years in a row for many of us and it was exciting to see all of the intense campaigning by and for the various candidates just before New Year's. Oh well, Brick will always be your weenie, my weenie, and most importantly of all, the People's Weenie (which was removed from his profile for whatever reason..maybe because his posts have been so good lately and not weenieish). :)

I think I might have to go with Webber over Marietta. I have no idea what Webber says, but it sounds very smart.

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Brick,  please don't try and stir up something...  Between you and SJ it seems like you guys wish that something would blow up.  I'm not going to start WW3 over a SE ridge that wasn't even really what my OP was talking about.  I will say this though.  The post you just quoted is wrong on a few levels but I'm not going to engage the guy any longer. Having a discussion with that guy is not going to end well.  Either you agree with him or you are stupid and/or don't get it.

Yea  but you did go from the SE ridge "flexing" in the OP to it just "poking" around. I do agree though that what is there argues for ice if something can pop vs. snow...but if we can get cold air into the eastern US the SE ridge is nowhere to stop it from being cold at the surface at least. That -PNA though is a problem that needs to be fixed ASAP.

meh, parsing words man.  To me flexing and poking around mean the same thing to me in the context I was trying to use them.    I disengaged, not because I didn't have anything else to say.  I disengaged because of what I said a few posts back.  It just isn't worth it.....and I could see he wasn't changing my mind and I wasn't going to be able to change his.  So what's the point of continuing, jmo.

I don't know how it's possible to "agree to disagree" regarding facts. It's one thing to "agree to disagree" on matters of opinion, such as what color sweater goes best with your jeans, but it's an entirely different thing to "agree to disagree" on whether the sun is shining, for instance.

But if it's cloudy....:o

I won't be worried until we are in February. Last winter I didn't get any snow until the last week of January and ended up getting a couple more after that, and ended up at average. And things looked really bad last winter until that first snow.

 

I was hoping we would have something by now. But it's not even January yet. The models are all over the place. Things can change quickly here. Even if we don't get anything until the end of January or beginning of February, if we just get a couple of events and one big one, that still would be good and could end up being above average.

weird formatting... Where did you copy that from? ;)

Exactly there's no gray area here, just because the heights are above normal doesn't mean the SE US ridge is the culprit...

You really can't help yourself can you?  lmao...it will be your downfall here unless you find a way to not take disagreements and discussions to the end of the earth.....I can give you that advice.  Take it or leave it..  You can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

I guess I could have used a better example of a non-opinionated question, such as whether or not mathematics is the most important subject of study in one's academic career. I mean, that's obvious. Right? No room for opinion on that one. :D

.

Of course math is the most important!

(Right after beer pong)

I kid I kid!

In a forum far, far away.

 

 

Allow me to finish it for you:

 

 

 

A long time ago, in a forum far, far away....

It is a period of civil war. Optimistic winter-

weather lovers, striking with the use of

actual facts, have won their first victory

against the evil Warminista Regime.

During the battle, an informed poster managed

to debase the secret plans to the Warministas'

ultimate weapon, the infamous SE Ridge, an

unyielding anomaly with enough

power to destroy an entire SE winter,

yet it's power has been lacking, to date.

Pursued by the Warministas' sinister agents,

webberweather furiously dispenses

knowledge, custodian of the 500mb data

that can save his fellow posters and restore

calm to the forum....

 

 

 

Anyway, I tried...  :bag:

That's actually wickedly funny.  I love me some star wars. :)
