They took off for a sick kid and were fired that Friday. She was a assistant at a Catholic school in Gettysburg. Pennsylvania technically isn't a right to work state, but that's not saying too much since this state is basically completely backward in every aspect. I live in mountain hick central. Compared to what people from MD & NOVA are used to, this region is basically feral and inept on just about every level imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtstack Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Seasonal forecasting is like predicting the stock market. I am starting a new index using my daughters: Cassia and Calla's Winter Index (CCWI). cassia (now 3 years old) will choose cold or warm and Calla (1 yo) will choose wet or dry. If they dont answer in a reasonable period of time I will take that to mean normal. I will monitor their progress vs. the pros, lol. BTW just asked her if it's gonna snow anymore this winter and she said, without looking at any models "It's not gonna snow" - so there ya have it - take that AO NAO SAI QBO PNA WAR MJO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the GGEM. Its interesting looking at the different MJO projections and how awful some of these less reliable models are how glaring their issues are. Tropical forcing is a fairly significant piece of the puzzle so screwing that up so badly is likely a major problem with a deterministic guidance model.

87storms Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just looked at the forecast early next week after a couple days of taking a breather...Phineas' post is right...the cold air just hasn't been here on a consistent basis...forget about the storms part. Pretty surprising Winter so far. Thought we'd get something by now, but it just doesn't want to snow this year. Also...regarding the fun conversations the other day, after having a couple days break from the blogo/forumo-sphere, I realized I do need to stop reacting to little things. I stand by what I said, but it doesn't really accomplish anything. I don't like when people get in my way or try to put me down, but that's a problem. I need to do better at ignoring. Maybe eurojosh is right...the ignore feature might be a good thing for me, who knows. I just don't like snide remarks. Like, i don't know you, lol...that's why I don't do it. Offline, yea, I'll let someone know what's up if they're being rude or making a meaningless remark, but online...like, I shouldn't care. I definitely should not be getting worked up over that type of crap. I need to work on that. Anyway, apologies if I made a scene. I meant what I said, but there's better ways to say it. Now...back to weather...you know, the reason this board exists and stuff. Oh, and one more thing...the other day I walk out of work and this stranger just randomly said something like "Man, I love this weather...February and no snow yet...love it." I'm thinking to myself, yea, I won't tell him about this forum. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 22 hours ago, jonjon said: Love Aslin, we just bought their old keg cleaner for our brewery. Also love the NE style hop-juice IPAs. We brew an IPA and pale ale in the same vein. Looks like that one could use some carbonation . . . That's awesome that you've got a connection of sorts to Aslin. They're making some wildly awesome beers. Their NE IPAs are off-the-charts good, but their Berliners and Goses are really good, too. And Macarooned is fantastic. I actually like fairly low carbonation in hoppy beers. Maybe it's my preference for softer beers that leads me that way. I'll finally be kegging soon,so I'll finally be able to control carbonation unlike before. And I'll ask be able to limit O2 exposure during the packaging process, which can only help with the hoppiness. I'd love to get out your way and stop by the brewery. Maybe an overnight win the wife and kid is in order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was living in Upper Marlboro. That explains it. Up my way, Balt city and north, we were never really in the running for seeing anything from the low sliding under us in the afternoon and evening.
