J.Mike Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I was the only one of us up there posting but that's because I'm here...nobody came in and said anything....honestly I think he came down to our forum and read the negative stuff. I tried to stay positive up here...I wasn't getting paid attention to so much which is understandable but the focus was too much on reaching 24" vs. just enjoying howling winds and decent snowfall...eh...off to work now...appointments still on Glad you are OK.

clueless Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ugly day for people pushing 24+ forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Euro love. This storm had huge bust potential. Been talked about for days even in our own forum. It's hard to see it when you're in the cross hairs. If my forecast was for 2-3 ft, I'd probably ignore every sign that it might bust. That said, I'm surprised that more mets didn't raise flags about this. Some of the better ones did, but many just pointed to the Euro as their forecast. Ugly day for people pushing 24+ forecasts.

Fozz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wasn't here for that one - but that one doesn't usually get counted as one of the really good ones for Balt/DC I didn't think. But, if so, then I defer to you on that. It was a nice hit... over a foot of snow from northern VA to Boston, including 13" at BWI.

So if you have some crazy arsed notion that you are getting 24 inches, think twice. Irresponsible to ride one model at the expense of others. Bitter day for NYC.

paxpatriot Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ended up with a solid 3 inches from the overnight stuff, I'm calling a win. Any thoughts yet on what caused the big bust in Philly and NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I feel for NYC, but honestly only care about the DMV. So that said, I'm pretty happy that we didn't 100% whiff. I only got maybe 1.2 total, but others got much luckier in those bands last night. Glad they made out! I know somewhere in the near term though we'll all get some real love from the snow gods.

I mean dont get me wrong, if you legitimately get pleasure out of seeing someone else not get snow, you probably have bigger issues. But there were posts being made, especially the other night and last night, in the nyc forum, that were being deleted quickly. After reading some of the comments in here the last few days (i read in here a lot because i consider a few people in here legitimate friends, plus your mets and skilled "amateurs" (matt, ian, etc) are incredible resources) about "jerks from nyc gonna come in here to post pics to troll us"...it seemed in really bad taste to have to deal with that bs in our forum.

clueless Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wanting to see NYC fail is just like wanting to see your sports rival fail. You look it as a sporting event. I am just sad when I see other folks getting way more snow than I can possibly eke out this winter. I can be jealous, yes. But I can't wish them ill. There is nothing more cool than to see NYC in a blanket of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 There may be something wrong with people who post negative stuff in another forum but I think something similar can be said about people letting snow trashtalk get under their skin. Both can be annoying in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
