Amos83 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 You should have PM'd him offline about this. It wasn't handled very well by anyone. He was sent a message last night and he still chose to ignore the warning hindsight is always 50/50 (haha Cam Newton smh)... I want to give kuddos to Marietta & Larry, a couple weeks ago when they had a fight they eventually worked it out and got back to being amiable after it spiraled out of control. I think the key is that both parties have to let the proverbially sleeping dog lie. When feelings get hurt or both parties think they are in the right it usually takes one of the involved to make the first step toward peace instead of continuing to stir the pot. I'm not taking either side on this, just saying someone has to lead by example at some point for the conflict to have a path to an agreeable solution. Not always the easiest thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always the easiest thing to do Larry was the bigger person there, he sent me a PM and stuck his hand out first. I apologized for everything that went down and we did bury that hatchet, kudos to Larry on that one for sure. I was taught to never disrespect and turn down an offer of peace from someone who is trying to make things right in a bad situation, advise I would give to anyone. What was said between me and him I'll keep private but we did find common ground and were able to move on from that unfortunate incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I've known Eric for awhile on Twitter and from Weather Underground, so it wasn't surprising to see him getting in an argument on here eventually. He's a brilliant guy, but he really need to stop trying too hard to fight back whenever someone attack his ideas (that happens often over jealously). Sometimes he need to let it go because these arguments typically go nowhere but people getting their feelings hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernskimmer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 So now that the 12Zs are in, is our pattern change to cold inside 10 days yet or are we still watching? I am wondering the same exact thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnc910 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 i think alot of people are going to get burned on this so called pattern flip... a couple days ago models were showing a nice block but now it is short lived..there are more model solutions hanging the cold up in the west.... so i dont know what the hype is... you give me a setup like the january 28th storm last year where there was snow on the ground for three days or more and temps didnt get above 30 degrees for 48 or more hours then ill get excited... but models are all over the place right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If I had to wait for temps to be below 30 degrees for two or more days then I would never get snow. That just doesn't happen much here in my area and we rarely get snow with big old outbreaks like that, just cold and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype things up or you are the enemy. Stolen from JamieO Helpful hints to posting on AmericanWx this winter: - Post like a Tourette's Syndrome victim on meth - Be hyper-vigilant about 300+ hour threats - Always err on the side of ridiculous when posting your snow obs - Make devastating judgments about the quality of your winter based on one model run losing a storm - Never relax during a storm - dry slots can happen at any time - Never go outside during a snowstorm because you'll miss the latest radar update - A missed storm can be the worst thing that has ever happened in your life. Be sure to share those thoughts in your region's subforum. - If your region misses a storm, take it out on the subforum of the region that's getting the storm - Share every single forecast/idea you have, in great detail - what do those red taggers have over you other than experience and expertise? - The pro-snow mets are like a big brother who always gets you presents and tells you you're awesome all the time - The anti-snow mets are like a big brother who tries to push you down the basement steps and calls you mean names - Forky is like a big brother who sets your pet hamster on fire right in front of you - Smart, reasonable people = Big meanies and are your enemy - If the staff five-posts you or bans you, never forget there are hundreds of online forums where you can bash AmericanWx - Never forget that stuff like family, pets, significant others, girlfriends/boyfriends, work, life, etc. all take a back seat to frozen water crystals falling out of the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one has been hyping anything here since. Just because someone is pessimistic about things no matter what doesn't mean others are hyping anything up.
