WinterWxLuvr Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 @Dr. Dews likes our “confused” emoji, evidently. I would venture that’s there’s never been an emoji at AmWx that is more fitting than that one is for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Ok y'all. How bad is the Wunderground app now? Anyone have an alternate app after they butchered it to serve 20 ads and not let you choose weather stations or see your location easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His combination of ridiculous meteorology knowledge and his ability to teach it where its understandable(hello isotherm/HM) and then his sense of humor to boot. And i dont say this lightly because Bob Chill is easily in the top 5 on the board. We are pretty lucky to have what we have here....the philly board has Ralph Wiggum lol:) Thank you! 3 hours ago, frd said: You must be a great teacher ! Well done, and thank you psu ! Love the numbered system And yes, it certainly does help explain things. Thanks! I love to teach! I am just as passionate about politics and history as I am weather. I just wish my students were as easy to “hook” as this audience lol. There are good and bad days...but the good make it worth it. One reason I like putting in the effort to make a post like that is I get to do what I love with another topic I love. Maybe someday I’ll go back and finish my meteorology degree and get paid to do this also 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive learned alot by reading your posts over the years. I lurked on here for several years but didnt post till a few years ago. Learned alot from you, @Bob Chill and @showmethesnow.

psuhoffman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 JB just had the greatest JB moment of all. Someone told me but I didn’t believe it. But yup he did it. He posted a video yelling at people for misrepresenting his forecast, while he misrepresented his forecast. He didn’t put up his actual forecast from November, he posted an edited map that he just published TODAY and talked about it as if it was his winter forecast. Then he drew on the map where he had above normal snow, implying he didn’t say there would be above normal in the 95 cities...when his actual winter forecast predicted 125% normal snow DC to Boston. He was literally lying about his forecast while yelling at people for lying about his forecast. He jumped the shark! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was literally lying about his forecast while yelling at people for lying about his forecast. He jumped the shark! This seems a really ineffective way to run a racket even if you were completely unprincipled. 1. The winter isn't over yet so his 125% could still come true. There are even enough positive or at least neutral signs so that could reasonably say "just wait, winter is on its way". Why try to rewrite history before it is even necessary? 2. And speaking of rewriting history, why even try? He has to know this is the internet age. When you post something online it will never completely disappear. He also has to know that he has an hater club who saved the graphics from his forecast just so they could call him on it later. Isn't it so much easier to spin it at the end by saying there was some unforeseeable factor that threw a wrench in the forecast instead of being blatantly caught in a lie?

aldie 22 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Winters like this one...well like most of them...are the reason I generally like to enjoy the event when and if they happen vs the hunt. Of course when I first joined the boards it was fun looking at clown maps and hoping the fantasy long range stuff would come true but more often than not they didn't. You just learn over the years...at least for me it was a learning to just enjoy the snow falling any snow. February can be fun around here and obviously March is a Winter month now it seems so plenty of time for some fun events but as far as an extended winter stretch...sure doesn't feel like we have one of those coming but that's just my opinion and in no way am I saying that those that love to shouldn't track the long range. Seems like there has been lots of education going on lately which is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you though. Take ANY snow and enjoy the living F out of it. That 2” we had last week...best Jebwalk ever! LOL. Praying we can get the goods in February and March.

This was a fun thread that evolved from some goofy thread Tenmen started. Was back when we still had cold, active winters- I think it was 2013-14, but could have been the following winter. I bumped it a couple years ago but not much interest. Despair had taken root and become the source of poetic creativity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
