packfan98 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Has the winter discussion thread turned into the whining and complaining thread? Gee whiz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I'm not complaining about the warmth. It feels good to me. If we end up with a winter like 2011-12 I won't be upset. It's the winters like 2014-15 that make me upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well, I guess George Michael got to have one last Christmas. This year sucks. Worst year ever for celebrity deaths, and everything else has been pretty bad, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to moderate and move all of the suspect posts in the discussion thread to the panic room? Someone give me mod privileges and I'll do it.

TARHEELPROGRAMMER Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 This was snow from 6 years ago in Fayetteville, NC/Hope Mills, NC. I believe it was 8-10 inches around there. This was back when it used to snow ;+) 1123965_574295625955849_40284_n.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The pattern thread has been horrible lately. I would hate to lose Jon's analysis.

I try not to post much in the main thread honestly. I pretty much know the basics of the models, and what I don't know I rely on guys like jon, Pack, Grit, and a couple others to post and explain and will occasionally ask a question or make a comment if I feel it is worth the spot in the main thread. But the past few days and especially today, it becomes too much garbage to even try and figure out what is going on. that's why I usually stick to the mountain thread to avoid "spamming" the main one.

Here are a few examples. POSTER A: Posts that although it is warm now and the models show it will be for at least a week or two he feels that the second half of January will be rocking with several good chances for winter storms. POSTERS B & C: Post that it sounds good and they hope poster A is right. POSTER D: Posts that the models show warmth for 2 weeks and he feels that it will stay warm throughout January and the best part of winter will be gone. POSTERS E,F,G & H: Blast poster D. Cliff jumper!! Warmista!!! You pessimists are ruining the forum!! Go post somewhere else! At this point neither POSTER A, D or anyone else know what is going to happen the last two weeks of January. Both posts are opinion. Do I decide which is trash based on my own opinion? Not fair. To be fair I can either leave both or delete both. Obviously, neither makes any sense. So where is the trash? IMO it is the posts of POSTERS E, F, G & H. They turn one post they don't like and that can be scrolled past in a second or two, into 6 or 7 posts of often vitriolic rhetoric. IMO, to clean up a thread, those are the posts that should be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also add posters B and C to the garbage list as they didn't really add anything to the conversation, in your scenario. I have no problem with either A or D, as long as they provide an interesting take or analysis other than "I feel it in my gut..." The maps, the models, the indices, and all associated intelligent discussion should be welcomed.At the same time, I have not been granted moderator status on this weather board, so my comments should have been kept to myself. I should not have publicly called into question (or tacitly implied derision of) your moderating choices, jburns or buckeye or any other green-tagger. My apologies. You have a tough job, and I'm glad I don't have the daily responsibility of cleaning up these threads.Sent from my 6045O using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, jburns. And, your job is about to get much more involved should the most recent model output continue in similar fashion with future runs.Sent from my 6045O using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
