Just to be clear...if you make a definitive call, you have to own it. Getting teased about it isn't someone being disrespectful. It's called having fun. We definitely have a few who need to lighten up a bit.

You have a point though at the same time there are a lot of people here who never make a call then troll people when they are wrong. We are all wrong quite often.

If it's a fellow amateur, then sure, but let's not pretend that any run of the mill weenie is in the same league as a professional meteorologist.

I'll never make a definitive call with MA snowstorms d4+. Even inside of 72 has surprises. The simple 1 line post "there won't be a north shift" is a solid line in the sand that the 0z euro and 6z gfs defined the northern boundary. I'll rarely troll anyone and never a met but that is a heck of a bold call at range. I agree with wnwxluvr in the sense that if it busts it will and should be pointed out.

Yeah, I wouldn't make that call either. Tricky.. sometimes the forum seems more like a cheerleading spot than a forecasting spot. That's not to say we don't have a ton of great forecasters, I just think we all like snow and it's hard to disassociate so you're always going to see a lean toward the snowier solutions.. sometimes it's fun to just go against the grain or attempt to make a bold call.

I proclaimed Feb would be AN.    :lol:

 

Not looking like that'll work out.  Will be quite happy about it IF we can get a couple inches of snow on the ground for at least a few days.

I could up my batting average at d5+ and say its not going to snow with every threat and prob be in the 80th percentile year over year.

One thing I've gotten much better at last few years is knowing when to toss the towel. That's probably why this year hasn't gotten to me that bad. There really hasn't been a rug pull yet.

Good god people RELAX. I guaranteed you snow next week three days ago. Just relax have a drink and wait. It is going to snow.

 

This made me laugh.  You need to change your screen name.  I'm thinking, "God."  But just to avoid pissing off the big guy (Wes?), maybe you should just go with "god."  No need to confuse the masses.

 

I'm going now to gas the snow blower.
