But I try to keep the frustration mostly to myself and out of the medium range and storm related threads, when things don't work out. Light banter maybe sometimes in there, but I've tried to keep most stuff in the Banter forum or the Panic Room for fun. I'm sure several others are the same, and I know you're not aiming that comment at them or me...but you're right. And thanks to you and other mods for at least trying to keep it somewhat under control. The past couple of years it has gotten really insufferable at times in the main discussion areas! Expand thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I think the main thread works ok until you get some jackass popping in to deliver a healthy dose of negative “it never snows, we always get screwed, the next storm won’t work, the advertised pattern will be wrong, we are running out of time I think I’ll cry and call my mom to see if she can comfort me” posts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamHLG Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just a quick shower thought: When one clicks on the Mid Atlantic favorite button on the browser, and the Banter thread has the "Hot!" flair tag up top, and the Medium - Long Range thread's last post is 52 minutes ago, that pretty much sums up the current mood of model runs without further analysis needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I’ll admit I agree with @Ji on one thing. Missing a heavy wet snow is depressing. That is my favorite. When we snow at 32* and it’s paste that sticks to everything and perfect for making a snowman or fort with the kids. Of course the problem is for me to get a wet snow is invariably has to be raining in DC. Not that I’ll kick the idea of 8” of cold smoke on the gfs out of bed but those kinds of storms always have less suspense and excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey--I'll take it anyway we can get it, lol Expand Kinda...except honestly whenever it’s a borderline temp issue it almost always ends up breaking good up here. So I get the excitement of the suspense but with a payoff. If I was in the city I’d want cold smoke every time. But those really cold waves tends to be hours of light to moderate snow. I do enjoy when it’s puking heavy wet snow bombs up here more. Some of my favorite storms here weren’t the numerous 2’+ storms but just a good 6-10” wet snow paste job like October 2011 or the early Dec 2009 storm, not the big one, or the Feb 2016 storm that was a 33 degree 7” snowstorm up here. November 2018 would have been higher on my list except I was stuck in Baltimore and didn’t get home until the snow was ending. That sucked. I also missed some of the really heavy wet snow that fell the first day of the 2 day 14” March 20-21 2018 storm. The second day was colder dry snow but the first day was 8” of really heavy wet snow but I only caught the last hour of the good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
