Guest Pamela Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Roses are red, Violets are Blue, Try getting a life instead, And you'll thank this fat Jew. One of my girlfriends tried lipo...another had her tummy tied / gastric bypass...not really the best results...my advice: healthy diet & exercise.

Guest Pamela Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Try getting a life instead, You know what the coach in The Bad News Bears said about assuming... <truly an iconic, groundbreaking moment in American film IMO...not to mention philosophical discourse in general...probably needs to be mentioned in the same breath as the writings of Immanuel Kant & Rene Descartes...

SnoSki14 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 starting to get the feeling this winter is going to be remembered in a bad wayRealistically this winter could be remembered by most people in a good way. Only the weenies pray for a cold and snowy winter with obvious exceptions being employers and employees that depend on snow for income. The vast majority would love a mild non-snowy winter so winter weather is entirely subjective but greatly skews mild, less snowy. Think about it snow and ice is a major traffic headache, a pain to clear and shovel, icy spots means danger for pedestrians and drivers, cost millions to remove especially around cities, causes lost pay due to closings and delays cold weather means high heating bills and potential hypothermia.

bluewave Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ahh....memories.....and I thought I was the only one. That weather radio was awesome. And yes, there was a blizzard warning for 1-2 feet of snow for my area in Worcester MA in Feb 1987, but when that moon kept on shining that night behind a silky veil, that sinking feeling took over and I knew we were in trouble. My instinct was right and we ended up with a dusting the next day while the Cape got a foot. The best snowstorm surprise of my childhood was the 1-20-78 event. The evening NOAA Weather Radio forecast was for rain. The next morning was the deepest snow that I had ever walked in up to that time. The 14 inch snow resulted in a snow day from school.

NorthShoreWx Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The best snowstorm surprise of my childhood was the 1-20-78 event. The evening NOAA Weather Radio forecast was for rain. The next morning was the deepest snow that I had ever walked in up to that time. The 14 inch snow resulted in a snow day from school. That storm is a cool memory. I had an indoor track meet that Thursday night. We got back late enough that there was already a couple of inches accumulation ( I am think 11PMish) and I still remember the 3 mile drive home in low viz after my father had picked me up at the school. Friday morning I got up early to the expected disappointment and looked out the window to a whiteout with heavy falling and blowing snow and only our second snow day of the decade (first was 2/2/76). We had 17" from that one ending with a coating of IP/ZR thick enough to walk on top of the crust. http://www.northshorewx.com/19780120.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How one knows one has gone through a bad pattern: People remain stuck on the rear-view mirror image of a fading bad pattern, despite the onset of a new colder pattern. In fact, people are so fixated on the recent bad pattern that it could be snowing outside and no one would notice. A pattern change to a colder regime is marketed as a temporary and small relaxation of a relentlessly warm pattern. Probabilistic assessments are translated into deterministic outcomes: 100% probability of warmth; 0% probability of cold; 100% probability of rain when there is precipitation; 0% chance of snow when there is precipitation. GFS fantasy range snowstorms that usually garner attention are completely ignored, but GFS fantasy range cutters are proclaimed as events certain to occur. The ECMWF is proclaimed a “false idol” with the single GFS, CMC, or ECMWF ensemble member that shows the least wintry outcome crowned the new “King.” Persistent model forecasts of cold with possible opportunities for snowfall are attributed to model bias and/or model initialization errors. Many live in fear of an “eternal,” “unstoppable,” and “invincible” Pacific Jet that will blast the current winter and all future winters to oblivion. Many hold similar views with regard to the Atlantic’s beast, the Southeast Ridge. A robust EPO- is diagnosed as being in the “wrong place” to bring cold to North America, even as it begins to replenish Canada with cold air. A negative AO and negative NAO are declared extinct at AmericanWx. The most popular analogs promoted at AmericanWx become 2001-02 and 2011-12.
