I'll ask again..what trend? A trend of fear--the fear of disappointment. When ya have that, just one negative model run stokes fear of a trend starting. Mass hysteria times ten because of the winter we've had, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaETC Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There's always a us vs them mentality here. Professional mets vs "weenies" "Pro forecasters" (aka long time posters) vs normal posters Subforum vs subforum Opinion 1 vs Opinion 2 It gets old really quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I didn't bother to record my last trace of snow. It's been a rough winter in so many ways for me. Interesting to see how this will fall apart. Looking like 2 inches is going to be my benchmark if trends continue. I'll take it gladly. Will be sweet to see snow and the dog romping around in enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that over at sterling right now there are a bunch of meteorologists breaking pencils and throwing coffee mugs at a giant video screen flashing the snow maps from two days ago and today. One or two sitting at their desks, heads in their hands looking down and wondering aloud, "How did we not see this?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 17 minutes ago, Kmlwx said: I'm seriously lol-ing at people in our area that were expecting to see 15 inches of snow in Mid March. a general 4-8 inch system is a MUCH more realistic water mark for this time of year...and even then it's a lot. I would honestly be fine with turning off posting rights in the main thread to everyone except pro forecasters, Bob Chill, PSU and the admins. There are some incredibly intolerable folks over there that I normally enjoy. 16 minutes ago, stormtracker said: I mean, I get it..of course we all want the big totals...and sure, it's a bit of a letdown to see them cut...but if you told me 4 to 8 inches before we saw all these pretty maps a few days ago, we would have been in this mother-effer popping champagne like we all won the lottery. Amen! I'll admit to sometimes making a bad or not too meaningful post (though usually in the lull between model runs). But even as I may be sweating out possible trends or whatever, I try not to post every worry in here as if I'm wearing it on my sleeve. Sure there are concerns with this event, but sometimes one just has to take a breath and relax a bit. As I said in the storm thread, some of the tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth over every detail was getting a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hello thickness my old friend ... I've come to measure you again, Don't be coming in at five four six, We don't want to see a wintery mix, We want to see you down on the floor and struggling to increase, thickness please, don't come up any higher.

Fun times in there, Right? Funny thing is that this is probably just an off run of the GFS. 500's only changed marginally and yet we saw a somewhat major shift with the coastal low. Looking at the upper levels I also thought there would be better transport of moisture westward into the cold air and yet that was not the case. Think the ensembles will tell us much as to whether this solution has any validity or if it's just an off run. My money is on off run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
