BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Happy National Weather Persons' Day! I challenge a play it forward your your favorite AmWx "weatherpersons" (not just mets!). Go! To start, I want to compliment Bobchill for enthusiastically answering my off the wall questions from the beginning. I've also learned much about pattern recognition thanks to him and many others. Next I want to give a shout-out to Ji for continuing to being Ji even when others say not to. Continue to embrace who you are! Mappy and I have had more confrontations here than I would like to admit, but she helps keep these boards functional by keeping away unnecessary outsiders (especially bad clown maps) I have to thank her for seeing how to recognize bad snow maps! Kudos to Showmethesnow for the excellent early winter long range analyses! This one should be higher up, but no particular order for any of these! George has been supportive of my personal struggles multiple times. I've only met him once during our summer forum meetup, but he's a real friend and a lot like me! Colbalt and NorthArlington, you guys seem to have learned forecasting techniques at lightning speed. These guys are the future! Good luck in school! Jeb, the "jebwalk" you coined reminds many of us of some memorable jebwalks of are own! Psuhoffman, I admire your sticking to your gut personality!

eurojosh Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just back from a weekend in Timberline. Thursday evening drove out in the worst conditions I've ever driven through - blinding snow, heavy wind. Woke up to about 8" of powder on Friday morning. Sunday, wet snow for about 3-4 more inches in the morning. Got about 3 more inches of powder overnight into today. Got my seasonal average in a weekend - folks, it's only a 3 hour drive away.

dailylurker Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've noticed lots of comments about this season sucking because of the La niña. Tell that to the weenies on the Eastern Shore and outer banks of NC. I'm on the Bob train that it's more of a case of bad luck/we suck. Snow in the mid Atlantic is always luck and should never me taken for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow in the mid Atlantic is always luck and should never me taken for granted. Expand Ninas generally do suck here unless we get a legit block. Eastern areas got lucky during the big time cold period, which was mostly dry. The immediate coast caught some action with the baroclinic zone being too far east for most of the subforum. NS energy played into that early Jan storm as well, helping to screw much of the MA. Typical Nina stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
