North Balti Zen Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Storm thread sucks. The event is on track to do pretty much exactly what was expected 2-3 days ago but it's a whine and cheese posting party That's because some of the posters tried for a long time to make this into something it was not going to be. Still in denial/anger phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'd like a thread for the weekend event too- need to nickel and dime our way through March and April so I can beat you all in the snow contest (in addition to the tiebreaker which I've already clinched if needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Storm thread, event thread, precipitation disco thread, whatever. I guess I'm in the minority of preferring it to be mostly fact based discussion without emotional and banter posts out numbering them. The majority of people reading our disco threads are either guests or non-posting members looking for good information. I find it embarrassing at times when it looks like we are a bunch of middle schoolers. But that's just me. I understand your point of view, but I don't think the whole "let's be optimistic" rationale has any merit. Let's be truthful. When models show a weak and weakening event, I don't think it's unreasonable to say it. It is what it is. I know that I could probably chose better words when making an observation. I suppose at this point it's frustration after watching nearly every event where snow was possible dry up like a raisin. It still doesn't change the fact that unless the models are way off, this is mostly a total non event for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way to handle that is remember where you are....MA, we do one thing EXTRA, EXTRA well (with the rare exceptions) warm, wet cold, dry those are the first two things you must remember when looking at anything remotely 'iffy' in this sub forums coverage area.

BristowWx Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 its hard to look at Intellicast and not think this event will be something decent. I know it won't but that looks great. I once again learned quite a bit this winter. a lock can be unlocked...a good pattern doesn't mean a good storm...cold first then precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, we don't always get unlucky. The past two years it seemed as if everything trended our way. This year outside of our big storm in Jan, it seems everything has trended away from us. It's all good. Next week we will all be basking in warmth and this winter will be just a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 People are just venting. While it's silly it's also silly to act like we don't understand why. This is probably the last legit threat and while it has looked marginal all week obviously people hoped it trended better. So some are upset this didn't amount to more and others are egging them on by acting as if they knew all along like this had no shot to trend better and they are stupid for thinking it might. Both sides are being childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Oh and can we stop telling people what to be happy with? If you are content with 1" great. But if someone else isn't why rub their nose in it? Some want March to be warm others want another threat to chase. It's getting old 10 times a day people feel the need to tell someone else they should be happy with this or that. So what if they aren't? I don't care what anyone else is rooting for.

Yep, last two winters were winners all the way. This one hasn't been horrible, I'd venture 95% of the area is above climo on snow, but in mostly one event. For those that like variety, it has been pretty awesome, big deep snow, record warmth, a few weeks of reasonably cold weather, about the only thing we didn't get was a major ice storm. The sun and warmer days will start winning from here on out and soon people (including me) will be complaining about the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 South VA is one LUCKY, LUCKY bastid tonight with torrential snow, and lots of it. The deform will set up down there and persist for hours and hours and hours and hours. Friday morning rush hour there will be a total catastrophe with warning level snows.
