Too much doom and gloom up in here. No wonder why tracking storms just isn’t fun anymore. I'm opposite of most people here. I hate tracking events and only enjoy the actual weather. Once a storm starts I tune out and no longer even look at radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy just being an observer at the ground level and letting my eyes help those confirm what they are tracking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I can’t decide which is worse: 10:1 snow maps that include sleet or snow depth maps that must be based on measuring on top of your running car’s hood. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much doom and gloom up in here. No wonder why tracking storms just isn’t fun anymore. Yeah, I don’t get it. We all came into this winter expecting a crappy Nina mucking everything up, yet we’ve seen a lot of snow falling. I’m looking forward to this one because it’s the first one with cold temperatures. I don’t care what covers the roads, as long as it’s frozen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda hate to waste a storm that gave me all the good feels before bed, but then I wake up in a 6z steaming pile. Hopefully 6z are off runs and we toss. Fingers crossed anyway. 12z better get us going back in the right direction. I definitely want to see more snow to fall then sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know who they are. It's one of the reasons the board has lost its luster for me. The closing hours used to be an unbiased point/counterpoint discussion of how different parts of the storm could break in different areas (alongside weenie melts). Now it's just weenie therapy romper room and anyone who posts reality makes it worse. No biggie tho. Growing tired is a me problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looking at the range of weenie-d out emotion reminds me of a tale my step-mom told me years ago about the "ephemerons". Very scientific beings that lived on the top of the mercury column of a thermometer. Their lives were on the order of a microsecond. After thousands or more generations, they figured out the extent of their world: where the top and bottom of the thermometer glass was. After a couple million more, they realized they were accelerating upward, and panic ensued as they thought their world would be crushed on the top of the glass in some number of generations down the line! Then, after awhile, they realized things were stabilized and the panic stopped. After a million more generations their measurements indicated they were going down, fairly rapidly. Upon more and more measurements, they were growing very worried that they would crater at the bottom of their universe! And so it goes... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I just want to reiterate that I wish people would just stop f'ing mentioning and/or responding to anyone who posts only to get attention. If anything is ruining being on the boards, it's seeing any mention of those types of posters. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
