nj2va Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It seems every thread we have turns into a back and forth with Ji to try to "reason" with him. Would be easier to just give up vs trying to make sense of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Had to drive back to far NW PA early for work today, now working my way back. Hit my first ever legit make effect squall for 15 harrowing miles as I moved north of I-80 at one point - that was insane. True whiteout, snow piling up, just unreal. Being in one of those for 24 hours must be an unreal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's starting to look like I'm going to do obs for a snow event at home Was really bummed when nothing happened over Winter Break. Scoring a 3"+ event at home while I can sit on my couch, with my dog, looking out at the streetlight would be very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I will sacrifice this one for the mental wellness of those to the south... errr....well actually just for Ji's mental state. And I promise you this sacrifice has nothing to do with my wife dragging me to a wedding in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We talkin' Ji worthy?Dunno. It would easily be the most frustrating thing I’ve had happen to me in a winter. I’ve seen 5” while both my locations have hit 15”+. I’d say March 2013 was worse but I wasn’t as invested in the tracking at that stage. Still a rough day I won’t forget. So to answer your question, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ji is the anti-Jebman. Pessimism and optimism. Yin and Yang. Gotta have one with the other and all that in order to maintain balance in the universe. Thus endeth the zen lesson for today, grasshoppers!

He is doing good. Hey PSU...glad to hear everything went well, especially dealing with the road conditions on top of that! Hope your son recovers well. Somehow, I think as parents it's almost harder on us, LOL! I remember when my daughter had to get her tonsils out several years ago, she was 6 years old and had gotten strep several times up to that point. Though I knew things would be fine (and they were), it made me feel awful for someone that age have to go through that...nerve-wracking for sure!

The fun factor of reading the threads here is going away for me. The never good enough theme is becoming offputting. Aren't we here to have fun? Isn't that why people participate in a hobby? If it keeps going downhill I'm going to take a break. I would probably enjoy events more if I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people forget or refuse to acknowledge that this is not a snow town. We have occasional runs of decent luck otherwise it's a great place to make a damn good living, enjoy Fine Food and great history. It's not a great weather place.

I'm with you it takes the joy out of tracking...that's truly why I'm all about looking out the window vs. believing or relying on models. I see the joy and fun in being able to read them like you or psu and Cape and showme... you guys rock but for me I watch read but in the end just . Some people aren't able to handle things they have zero control over. If it snows great! If it's an inch great! If it's a foot more great! If it doesn't snow...go outside and play.

Lol. I get it when it's terrible. Like the stretch from Feb 2011 through the end of winter 2013. The only 2 storms that dropped at least some snow have ever affected me badly... Boxing Day and March 2013. The superbowl 2015 storm irked me but nothing like the other 2. I'm over letting that happen again. This is supposed to be fun and an escape from all the complicated and stressful stuff we deal with in regular life. I enjoy the shit out of tracking storms and love watching snow fall. Very basic stuff. Part of the fun (and my favorite part of tracking) is when a storm is tricky and the outcome is uncertain right up to game time. Parsing through all the data leading in is a great mental exercise. Nowadays those storms suck because unless a big, cold, every flake sticks storm comes along it's a disappointing no fun event and a core of people make sure you know how bad it is every 3 minutes.

I would probably enjoy events more if I did. I don’t know...a 3-6” storm falling during the day on the weekend just sounds awful. I mean why even snow if its only that much? What’s the point if it doesn’t cover my azalea bushes in the front of the house? And as soon as the snow starts I start getting worried looking at the back edge of the radar. And then i wonder to myself, omg will it ever snow around here again? And before i know, the snow has stopped and I’m back to worrying about it melting so fast with the sun angle of death. Will you hold me? I’m scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
