I know, I think I'm just noticing the contrast between this thread and the midwest/ohio valley threads where they've been having tornado outbreaks with about 20 people in the thread lol.

the severe threads forum-wide has sucked in the last few years. 2011-2012 was the height of when central and midwest forums were the go to for severe chat. its pretty crappy now. i stay here.

The other nice thing is the severe weenies tend to not have a meltdown when storms don't work out. We move on after complaining a little bit. 

Not speaking for everyone - but there's a lot more of a "what happens happens" mentality with severe.

Maybe because the aftermath of winter storms is often fun and pretty.

 

The aftermath of severe can be traumatizing

Also because we typically do not spend more than a day or two dumping our emotions into watching a potential evolve. With winter, it can be almost 2 weeks of waiting and watching lol

This is a big factor for sure. Extended tracking always makes busts more painful. Imagine having a D8 severe outlook go poof once it hits day 1
