Great fun. I have the high honor of being the topic of DT's first blog on easternuswx. It was entitled "why I hate buckeye", (except the b was replaced with an f) Ok, back to weather. Interesting that the 46 day snow mean on the eps has the greatest snowfall through Chicago and Michigan....while totally screwing the MA. You would think with the upper air pattern it's advertising, Chicago would be a tundra and the MA weenies would be digging themselves out of feet of snow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s when I was on the east coast, home of the big snowstorms. See, you knew it wouldn’t be that long before I mentioned living back east.

What precipitated that anyway? Was it the infamous big dog map that you did? As far as long range, I've never been into it as much as shorter range stuff.

I've been around since the 1990s on twc and iirc with weathafella, and I've had plenty people I didn't get along with, notably Naso. But I at least felt sympathy for Naso. DT on the other hand - I just have absolutely no room in my life for people that angry and mean spirited. DT was at the conference in 2006. I remember you being there in 2006 or 2007 (or maybe both?) DT is a total ass on the forums but was much different in person. I don't know why he couldn't be more civil online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayton1996 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm cracking up reading these "memories" Iluvsnow is the one that introduced me to Easternwx back in the day. I mostly read your posts during the Winter season, and I rarely post myself. I've witnessed some epic meltdowns, and I've enjoyed some great snowstorm threads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvsnow Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 That was mild compared to some of his rants. He would get so frustrated he would disappear for weeks at a time....only to pop back up just long enough to bust a few more blood vessels...then he would get banned for a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPSU Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I will always remember DT back in the late 90’s attacking and stalking a high school weenie from New Jersey...don’t remember his name offhand.

He flipped out and then sent me messages insinuating that he knew where I lived. Lol...for such a hot head he had some pretty thin skin. Our forum had some rocky times a few years back, but calmed down a lot after Alek disappeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This weeks stale cool is the best look for such a long time. Such a bad winter, in comparison to the mean of the last ten seasons. Outlooks in a nutshell. Arctic dreams are just that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Because this winter has very closely followed the progression of 2006-07 thus far, my hope is that continues since February 07 was a good month. I'd imagine thoughts on the forums back then were similar about what a terrible winter that was until then and losing hope that it would improve. It's very easy to lean on persistence when it's been bad for so long and assume that improvements in the extended range will never come to fruition. It's been a frustrating winter thus far, but ultimately I think it makes sense in hindsight that the significant pattern change that occurred in December to fast Pacific flow/predominantly +EPO has taken longer to erode than expected. Changes are occurring, the AO has finally gone negative and looks to stay negative as effects of the SSW increase in the troposphere. The western ridge will roll over next week and bring another mild up, but hopefully the end of the 00z Euro op was sniffing out this being more brief. There is very good consensus from the long range pros I'm reading that the strong agreement in -EPO/-AO/-NAO/+PNA pattern shown in long range on ensembles is likely to unfold this time. Will not hold any illusions that it means a snowy pattern because it can certainly be a cold and dry look for at least some of us, but I'd gamble with cold since we've had essentially none for a month. Hopefully we at least get into a clipper pattern and some opportunities at IL side and extreme NW Indiana LES.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I've been involved in putting together the local winter outlooks for LOT since winter 2010-11, but the learning never stops. Just from reading knowledgeable LR posters on this sub, some on New England sub (Coastal and ORH to name a few) and Isotherm, Don S etc, I've learned a ton the past few years about LR forecasting. If I may do some cross forum promoting, the technical threads (teleconnections and strat forecasting) on 33andrain.com have some excellent material, though some of it is way over my head still. Our own OHweather has started making some posts over at 33andrain. Definitely worth a read. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
