Maestrobjwa Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Winters like this (that is, if things are indeed over after our last small window of potential passes) really make you sit back and wonder why we get so depressed over no snow here. Like, logically...you know of all the things in life to be upset about...this is so small. Maybe it's because snow potential gives us something to look forward to? Like a future happiness depending on what the atmosphere does. (I've said to people that I could never live somewhere where you it never snowed. I'd hate living somewhere like the deep south, lol) But it's winters like this one (again, assuming guidance is correct and it's pretty much over barring a fluke) really make you wish you could just turn off the snow loving and just move on to next year. (as opposed to constantly being depressed by what we can't have, and letting the months be darkened by disappointment solely because it won't snow). Again...why are we (just using a general term here--I'm sure it's not everybody) emotionally attached??? We logically know that snow around here is an unstable source of happiness, and yet here we are, lol WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed but not denied...then he will get frustrated, act defiant against the guidance, then finally cave but give a bunch of reasons why he wasn't really that wrong. DT is also pretty funny. His headlines were "warm now but big changes coming in early Jan". Then it went to "Big changes coming, but how long will they last?" Now he just went dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like ignoring it and is back (continuing?) with the “it was cold today in Siberia! Take THAT libz!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold, hard data. It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, and it absolutely will not stop until we are all curled up in a ball in our bedrooms with the blinds closed and clutching an old farmers almanac. But Ji's posts suck, which is far worse than anything PSU can conjure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Bill and Brady gone, it's back to square one. Bill is the cog that turns the wheel in that organization. He is the HC and GM. He makes almost all the decisions and he loves it. He's likely the best to ever do it, and he learned from the master (Walsh). Once he's gone, the hill they will have to climb will be long and tough. Unless he stays in a GM role, which he could, they will be back to being fairly irrelevant like they were for many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely full of himself at times .but he did take the time to talk weather with me both times . I used to follow him years ago but he started talking more about selling crap ...starting apps ..and not doing indepth analysis like he once did . I used to have some pretty interesting conversations with him years back. It started pretty civil, I would always tell him how he's wrong. At first, he didnt take much offense and just kind of explained himself but then it took a turn to insulting me and making an odd assumption that I failed Meteorology school at Millersville because I got into a fight with my teacher LOL...he eventually blocked me and thats all she wrote. He's an arrogant jerk for sure, but I will give him credit that he knows how to use social media and marketing to make a living as a "social media meteorologist". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hey y'all. I posted a long thread on twitter talking about my Top 10 weather events, I've witnessed, over the course of the decade. If you want, take a read, and perhaps a follow . I post a lot of sports, humor, gaming, and weather and am pretty active. Hope to follow some of y'all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @MillvilleWx Was just about to post here about a similar topic! For as much as we are disappointed at the moment...we gotta remember that we've experienced some pretty epic weather this decade. Obviously Snowmageddon was the topper. But then we have the derecho...Temp wise we have had some record heat and some bitter cold. And far as just snow...we actually did something we rarely do: Have 3 consecutive winters about the 20" mark. For me, the best winters were 2009-10 and 2013-14 (I overall loved the stretch from 2013-Jan 2016)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
