mackerel_sky Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I don't get why TWC has made a name for the storm effecting the northeast tomorrow. They are saying 3-6" for the northeast. Isn't that just a typical winter storm in new England ?Because basically BOS hasn't had squat all winter, so it's basically like a winter event in the south . And there were lollipops of 5-8" outside of Boston , so sizeable event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that just a typical winter storm in new England ? Shouldn't they only have named storms for major or significant winter storms ? I think 3-6" will be the biggest storm Boston has had this winter, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduwx Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Can someone tell me where Pack (NCRain) has been. I read somewhere he was taking a little break but he has been gone for a while. I know he got to some for being negative but he was a good poster and brought a lot to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbjr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Been tied up in litigation. Checked the last 3 GFS runs on a break (no time to look elsewhere). What happened to the cold? All the 20's down here are gone and it looks to get warm by the 2nd week of Feb. I know its the GFS, but it is quick and dirty access. What happened? Back on line later ....

You can still present the "truth" and not sound so pessimistic all the time. I know being optimistic or pessimistic is not going to change what happens, but a lot better to be positive in life than negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still enjoy following the weather and not know all the technical aspects of everything. All I care about really is the end result, not how it gets there.

I can say it's not going to snow tomorrow or I can say it's not going to snow tomorrow but it'll be no snow w/ sunshine, rainbows and kittens the point still remains the same...It's not going to snow. The only difference is you can't take hearing bad news w/out a bunch of fluff attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is you can't take not getting your way w/out a bunch of fluff attached to it. Because being pessimistic all the time is annoying. Doesn't have to be fluff. But saying things like the models look great now...but they're probably wrong. It'll never snow here. On and on. That is annoying to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've coached teenagers with that same mindset. They rode the pine a lot. Kind of different from a weather board and seeing if it's going to snow or not and playing ball. I don't think this is really that serious of a deal. That's why the pessimism is funny to me, too. Should be lighthearted and fun, and not have to be able to read the models and all that to still enjoy following things and if it's going to snow, or have a storm, or a hurricane, etc. I just like exciting weather. How we get there doesn't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
