strongwxnc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Pogo stick???lol that's funny right there! Too bad the gfs runs 4 times a day to keep it stired up. Next couple of days will be both blissful and painful to read about. Love it! The roller coaster that is a weather forum .

frazdaddy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah, and I thought I struggled sometimes. Exceptional radio show last night. I strongly suggest listening.

Regan Raleigh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't like this ride It throws us less learned people in a tizzy of Always thought it would be pretty much ice for Raleigh, so how's this any different. Was never really confident in the huge totals. Mets are still saying they are seeing something major, so why the tears? My simpleton brain is confused.

Jonathan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm so damned confused. Yesterday, EURO was a godsend. We wanted it. We needed it. It was our only hope. GFS was a disaster for everyone in the SE. We wanted the GFS to trend to the EURO. This morning, the EURO is all of a sudden awful for everyone and and we're rooting for the GFS to be right after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ECMWF is more than fine for everyone in the western third of NC and for most locations in VA. Hefty snowfall totals there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to take into consideration that newbies are excited and don't know the rules really and i don't want them coming away thinking we are all just a bunch of *ssholes but i'm about at my limit. What bugs me more though is a lot of it is being done by people who should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Updated my post since we are so close in area let me know what you think http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/47661-jan-22-23-east-coast-storm/?p=3886002 Replying in Banter so as not to clutter up the Disco thread: I think your post provides a wealth of graphical information. It saved me from having to look it up myself. I can sense your enthusiasm about the weather and this storm in particular. And, I think we both stand a good chance to do quite well with this storm.

poptones Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 JMO, of course, but people might want to ease off of saying "everyone" is thinking one thing or another - from where I sit it comes across as (best case) a pretty passive aggressive way of calling out some people who either don't know any better or have been around long enough that other users should know their schtick and ignore it, or worse, willfully misconstruing whatever these "everyone" people are saying as a way to let of some steam. Again, this is just my opinion, but all it really does is exacerbate a divide within the community. One of the best things about these boards is that you're gonna get a point of view from just about every spot on the spectrum of whether something actually is a threat or not. And this is great! I've enjoyed and learned a TON on these boards since eastern and a big part of that is from reading opposing takes on how a prospective storm is going to evolve and then just seeing what it does. But to essentially mock the other side because it's rubbing you the wrong way? That's completely unnecessary and just gets people salty for no reason. My two cents - back to my closet to watch how the storm unfolds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thess Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (I've been hanging around here for a couple of years as a lurker, not even remotely a met (even amateur) but I'm pretty good at picking out the culture of different message boards.

rawlee Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So an inch or so of snow that quickly washes away with maybe .25 of frz for RDU. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Haven't caught up on the models yet this morning, but every news organization I've seen so far is stating rain for CLT, crap mix north. Don't have time to catch up this morning, but something ain't right, either with the models or the forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Things are all over the place today. The same folks who were riding the Euro since last week now say the GFS is better for the Triangle. Some people saying it's moved south, while others say north. Either an epic storm or just some freezing rain with rain and a little bit of snow. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to essentially mock the other side because it's rubbing you the wrong way? That's completely unnecessary and just gets people salty for no reason. My two cents - back to my closet to watch how the storm unfolds! Good post. Claiming EVERYONE is saying one thing or another makes you look dumb, because that is not and has not been the case. On the other hand, the chicken little sky is falling thing is silly too. Questioning something should be ok, and I think it generally is. But countering someone else or declaring something to be the case without analysis isn't likely to be met with a warm welcome. The bottom line is, we are two days away from the start of the event (from the perspective of the latest model runs), and that is an eternity for things to change...for the better or worse. There is no reason to either take a victory lap or head to the garage just yet. Stay on the track and let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed bag yes, wash away? Wouldn't wuite say that. Start as snow...wouldn't say that. Start icy end as snow is what I'm hearing? No expert. Still evolving. Could go either way. Could shock us.
