Having spent a chunk of my life in the Colorado ski areas, I woke up this morning thinking about what if hurricanes dumped snow instead of rain. Models throwing out 30 inches of rain with Sally would be well over 100 inches of snow in the mountains... "Fresh powder!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do to know what that is like is spend a winter in Iceland/Svalbard or the Bering coastline in AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normandy Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Because people like to make others feel inhumane for their fascination with severe weather. Makes them feel better about themselves.

bugalou Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 19 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: I don't get why there has to be a morality debate every single thread there's a threat. In my opinion the debate is dumb. This isn't a subject in which morality plays a factor. No matter how much a person wants a storm to develop or not develop, it is not going to make a lick of difference in reality. It's not as if rooting for a hurricane to get stronger actually makes it get stronger. A storm is going to do exactly what variables involved processed through the laws of nature and the universe output. For those of us who like weather at it's extremes, getting excited when it does occur does not make us bad people. We have zero actual control over things and all of us still feel bad for anyone effected, therefore there is no moral compromise. The Earth can and will continue to produce big weather events that effect people and being in interested and in awe of this power does not make anyone a bad person. The fact that this debate occurs on Weather forums of all places is crazy to me. These places exist for the sole purpose of discussing the weather and I would think most people understand my point above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also see the Euro has a massive ridge with Sally likely getting left behind off the SE coast. Good possibility it gets a 2nd chance. With that ridge it wouldnt take much for TD20 to start heading west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest, being "Prospero", that every thought we have might have a ripple effect on planes of reality that science has yet to explore. So being an observer is innocent, no matter how thrilled we may become, but putting serious conscious intention to make a storm more dangerous is playing with fire. Just sayin'...

bobbutts Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I can see how people find it upsetting that we're essentially rooting for the strongest possible storm to make landfall in the most heavily populated area. That debate would do better in it's own thread or FAQ or whatever so we don't have to repeat it every time, it never really changes, we've seen all the arguments already.

We don't need the media making Sally into another Katrina (even if Sally pales in comparison). I don't trust them or their agenda. I'd rather Sally stay weak or strike a less populated area.

The I remembered the "Huroncane" was a thing and decided it's best not give 2020 any ideas. One of the top ten weather disasters I've experienced was an ice storm in Newaygo, MI around 1976 or 1977. No wind, but three inches of ice on trees and power lines took power out for a few weeks in our area and stripped trees bare. What a mess. It looked like a hurricane came through.
