Cold Rain Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sigh. Who gives a rat's anus about a trace of snow. Really. Is it technically a shut out? No. But it might as well be. You can't make a snowman out of a trace of snow. Maybe you can make a traceman. I don't know. But a trace of snow carries the same result as a shutout, except for a number on a page in some database somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Umm, ok...? I'm just presenting facts that completely eradicate Pack's claims & he asked me how the February analogs were doing, & I answered, then he preceded to laugh @ my previous comment & I asked a simple question why it was so funny. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that Feb's going to rock, it should eradicate the shutout...oh sorry, I mean almost shutout, but still technically not a shutout but will just call it a close second to a shutout. Agree? Shutout, not a shutout, close to a shutout. Shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will we get our no-fail, rock solid , analogs, without this critical data! Somewhere on down the road, that trace of snow will mean the difference between the number 1 analog and the number 2 analog, for the awesomest winter in history, probably about 2045, the solar flux will be strong then!

packbacker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Argument settled...Darn I hate being right all the time, it's a curse really, but it's a burden I must bare. #ShutoutWinter2015 http://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=faqdataentry#sum_trace Do Traces ever add up to measurable precipitation? No matter how many traces you sum together, the sum is still only a trace. When adding up precipitation for totals as in the Station Summary Report, we convert a Trace to 0.00.

There's no gray area here, despite what your derogatory comment attempts to imply If you put the hyperliteral goggles down for 10 seconds, you wouldn't be such a point-misser. Just 10 seconds. That's it. You don't have to tell me what the point is, I've known this since @ least mid December w/ pack & others, but the actual facts & data trump even a robust opinion...

No matter how many traces you sum together, the sum is still only a trace. When adding up precipitation for totals as in the Station Summary Report, we convert a Trace to 0.00. So let me do this in common core math format:1/4 trace + trace+ 2/3 trace+trace+trace+trace+trace+9/10 trace+1/4 trace+ 3/4trace+ trace+trace+1/2trace= 0 snow I understand now!

Someone arguing there has been absolutely no snow (i.e. a shutout) is also arguing against the fact that Raleigh has picked up a trace of snow this winter, the two aren't exactly the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webberweather53 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So the data says, 0.0. The data says "T" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't care what you call it, four trace events don't add up to squat. And the last even did not even have a trace amount for Raleigh on the snow map. It did for Wake Forest, but nothing for Raleigh. I guess having a trace is technically not a shutout, but that is splitting hairs. We have not had anything worthwhile this winter. But that will change the next two weeks.

I heard it from somewhere Next weeks a lock! We need the one next week to lay down a snowpack to our south, so we can get the one 10 days from now. We need to lay down the snowpack to our south and east so that the feed from the Gulf and off the Atlantic can deliver cold moisture to us.

Sooo you say it doesn't add up to squat, yet every time you get a trace, you are surprised because you didn't expect that much, or it wasn't forecast, or some other thing you say. Also it is not going to snow the next two weeks because I said so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I was surprised at how much snow they got to the north of me, and it was not forecasted. Neither was the brief round of sleet we got last week. Why don't you actually try reading what I wrote.

mackerel_sky Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's actually a decent day outside, people need to get out of their parents basement and enjoy the weather!! I raked leaves to make a perfectly flat lawn, so my dusting. Looks flawless next week or the week after, Brick guaranteed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
