If I get +3” snow I will run naked in the streets wearing only a lavender apron

I don't understand why all you moderators keep threatening us with this? Now if it was Mappy then it would be a different story. But you guys, come on.

Dear lord some awful play by play 

I get some entertainment out of it on occasion. I play, guess what the model shows from the comments and then go check it out for myself.

I know. Just being overly cautious. 

Unrelated but WHY did I bench Big Ben over Matt Ryan tonight? Ryan has been average at best in FF this year and in the playoff game he gives me 5 points. I deserve to lose. 

This snow is the only good thing that has happened to me this week. 

My opponent has Kamara...sucks for the player but happy for me.

It's definitely going to snow. I've got that bleary eyed jumpy feeling that only comes from way too much model watching and lack of sleep.

This storm has all the makings of a big event, as in 6-10" at BWI.  I'll be more than a little surprised if it doesn't perform to that level. But I'm not saying at this point it's likely.  I "think" that changes after 12z runs, barring an unforeseen disaster.

Bold statement. But you've been on this storm train the whole week, so why not?

[H2O]

I think that once this storm comes and goes that for any future ones that mean business there will be more of an effort to keep posts on point.

There needs to be a "moderate yourself" campaign. Everyone gets all hurt when posts start disappearing, so teaching folks to think before hitting submit in the storm threads is the way to go.

Now, how to do that? You need a catch-phrase!

Why the model discussions have been as smooth as cobalt steel

Don't be a twit. Think before submit.

Nothing to say? Go to banter and post away!

The 84 nam? That's really just spam.

Good luck with that. I have preached self moderation quite often over the years, which is much preferable then having the moderators coming in and putting their foot down. But unfortunately you get those who only come in during events who don't give a dam posting whatever crap they want and of course it is down hill from there as the regulars start jumping on them. It is what it is and short of barring people from threads I don't think there is much hope.

[nw baltimore wx]

The mid-Atlantic subforum has some of the knowledgeable and respected members on the board, and that says a lot because there are a ton in other sub forums as well. But we should take pride in our storm discussion threads, and equal pride in our storm banter threads. The banter in here is always entertaining, but keep it in its place.

I need someone to start humming Glory, Glory Alleluia to keep going.

Green is such a bad color on you.

In a quandary here. Really need to finish up the painting in the basement which is a good solid 6 hours worth. But if I start that I miss out on the 12Z runs, What to do? What to do?

[H2O]

I think its a fair criticism that we have let things go a bit much with this first threat.  Probably because most of us if not all of us didn't really think this was going to trend our way.  There have been a few posters that have crapped up the threads.  That needs to be dealt with. 

i'll let the powers that be decide what approach to take.  No point in going back through all of last nights posts to weed stuff out.

 

I really do wish people would self censor but that seems impossible.

Feed habitual transgressors to the Reaper. He gets his quota and we get a cleaner thread. Win, win.

I'm going with JB11 and flurries for Leesburg

[North Balti Zen]

Stop Guessing what’s coming as the model is running!

[nj2va]

Feels like snow outside too.  Hopefully this turnaround for tomorrow’s storm bodes well for us for the rest of the winter — so goes our first threat, so goes the rest of the winter?

[aldie 22]

It snowed in Leesburg today in 2013...how was that winter?

To be fair, this system didn't have legs until we all started rooting for it.  Don't mess with karma, brother.

Can double-like something?

[mappy]

so.. i guess im in? point and click has 2-4, LWX snow map has 3"

could be worse. could be much better, but could be worse.

on a serious note, super stoked for you southerners. seriously. i get all the fun marginal events while you guys get rain. so to cash in on a nice coastal storm is def a great way to the start the winter.

now get your (general you) posts together so I dont spent my day hiding them.

This is kind of funny, but I'm going to use the mower to get a final cut in and get up the last of the leaves today.  Growing up in PG, I have fond memories of building snowmen in the winter that were covered with dirty, wet leaves and twigs, but I want better now.

Found a pic of you as a kid.  I feel your pain.

Heh - I did that last Sunday - hoping that maybe it would pay off this weekend. Fingers crossed.
