Flu this year is no joke and he's been mia for a while. I was thinking about him as well. Hope everything is alright. Sounds as if it is a pretty serious strain this go round.

You have a good head on your shoulders so I am sure things will work out well for you in the future. But let me see if I can dial up some snow in the next couple of weeks to help cheer you up in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excited I remembered him and his class 15 years later. If you don’t mind me asking, what were the classes and the professor? I took the Weather and Climate class in ‘03 and then the tropical meteorology course in ‘04 at UMBC. Both were in the Geography/ Environmental science dept. since UMBC doesn’t have a met degree. I was an economics major but got permission to take them as electives since I was interested. You may have been in my class! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Weather & Climate with Dr. Tokay in Fall 2003, were you Spring or Fall? Never took the Tropical class. I ended up being a double major with InfoSys and Geography. Most of my Geography classes were for cartography and GIS (I got a certificate in both). I did take a few Economics class because it was part of my InfoSys degree. ECON101 that same semester in Fall 03' and then ECON102 in Spring 04' then ECON121 in Fall 04' and ECON122 in Spring 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's become incredibly rare if not totally non existent that there is anything in your posts I disagree with. But that 2010 winter was telling. I very clearly remember around January 20 that year when we were already all sitting near or above climo snow, having had our best December HECS ever, and staring at the mother of all -nao split flow juiced stj patterns reloading in the long range heading into our prime climo and there was still a barrage of complaining and pessimism in here. I was looking at the guidance, remembering the dec HECS, and reading all the "this sucks" posts and shaking my head. If that winter wasn't good enough to stop the complaining nothing ever will. It's hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I are similar there. Yea, I like the appeal of snow sticking around but the real fun for me is the lead up and watching it happen. After that I'm ready for the event to do the same thing with and not worry nor care about my grass showing through. I'm totally good with snow changing to rain too. Once it flips I close the shades and move on. We're the mid atlantic not the Rockies. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
