Deck Pic Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'd like to propose a new word in the spirit of mansplaining and whitesplaining "newenglandsplaining", or I am open to a better name definition - when a new englander talks to you in a condescending way about weather, particularly about climo in your backyard and/or about meteorological concepts, especially in terms of how they affect the mid-atlantic and/or assumes that the features that are good/bad for new england apply to the mid atlantic.... Example - MA dude - "Man, we really could use a west based NAO for the mid atlantic to do well this winter" SNE dude - "But last winter was historic. It's obviously not as important as you think" MA dude - "It wasn't historic here. It was decent by Mid Atlantic standards, but nothing special, other than really cold in February. We had one decent snow period from mid February to Early march" SNE dude - "Yes, and that period was a raging +NAO" MA dude - "Not really for the first event, and 2 others were mixy. We lucked out on another. But in any case, none were huge events. We typically need a -AO/+AO for area wide big snow events. A lot was a product of just having a sick air mass" SNE dude - "Well, that's because we did have blocking. A block over AK is just as important as AO/NAO blocking" MA dude - "Yes, but we really need AO/NAO blocking here to prevent storms from cutting to our west" SNE dude - "Tell that to 13-14 and 93-94" MA dude - "We did well in the 1st with some real luck imo, but the 2nd was actually pretty mixy down here" SNE dude - "I hear ya. Hopefully we can get a weak nino like 04-05, 76-77, 77-78 so we can all cash in with huge snows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Heading up to Mount Washington this weekend to see my buddy who's interning up on the summit as an observer. Looks like I'll see my first ever October snow while I'm up there. Gonna go see all the fall foliage while I'm up there and take a drive out to Western Maine near the Whites. Looking forward to it. I'll try to bring the late fall/winter vibes back with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at Millersville yet and still near Baltimore. I got a really cold rain sadly. I don't remember seeing any flakes unless they were mangled in the rain. I don't count that one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 My coach is gone Better for it in the long run. Running a big time college football program is becoming a young man/middle aged dudes game. 70+er's like Spurrier can't keep up with the day to day. The travel/commitment alone for recruiting is enough to tire them out. It's a shame he never got a real good QB down there or he would've been so much more successful.

I don't think anyone's been too insane (except the guy on FB who said naming is to fill the climate change coffers) but you do still get the general sense much of the annoyance is toward TWC. That's understandable given how it came about but at a certain point it seems counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's understandable given how it came about but at a certain point it seems counterproductive. I can agree with that -- especially when they name the storms Nemo, or Yolo... how can you not laugh at that? TWC seems to use it for marketing, ratings, hype. If the NWS wants to get on board, I would hope they would have more science behind it. Come up with a good reasonable system to what gets a name and why. I may hate the idea... but if its going to happen, lets do it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantHiatus Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 TWC tried to name high pressure systems. It's more or less a system for keeping track of notable weather features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahaha this is great! I've had a ton of these conversations over the years (mostly on Accuweather back in the day) that I could post here (but I won't).

Ian Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I noticed that re: them distancing themselves. Must feel comforting. Well, I don't really mind the "CWG has no view thing"... that's a bedrock of the place I work during the day. Though it does seem at least some of it is in response to comments that CWG is pushing a TWC agenda. If that's how people really feel it has nothing to do with me. I've written like two things with TWC included and the other was extremely critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
