Damage In Tolland Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So when those few of you that stay up all night to look at models.. you’re actually sitting up at a desk or couch posting models and posts on a PC and not at least tucked in under the covers on your phone? I had no idea . That just seems crazy to me. When I get up at the normal waking hour of 4:15 to run and view posts.. people that had been posting in the prior 2 hours are on computers? No wonder all you get in trouble with wives . It’s 2021.. you can do everything from a phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't do it without reading glasses now. That's because you have to squint to see the minuscule amounts of qpf its showing for up here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually dictate my posts to my private secretary and she posts them for me to this Internet website, but sometimes I type them up on my typewriter and and fax them over to the board moderator and he uploads them to the world wide web for me. That's a bit trickier but works in a pinch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does explain a lot though about why you don’t get too deep into model data. Just read what other laptop users find. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George001 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I’m glad I held off on taking em down, the high end of my forecast is going to bust but it looks like the low end is still in play (widespread foot with 16 jackpots) based on the obs of the low being both stronger and farther west than expected. It appears that the models underestimated the convection down south, the low is tapping into even more gulf moisture than expected and as a result is bombing out more than expected, and is coming more north and west than expected. The stronger low throwing precip back farther west, which on top of the low itself being more north and west than expected is leading to precip getting into areas like WV that we’re not forecast to be getting anything at this hour. The models right now have the 2nd low scraping the cape, but when taking obs into account it is appearing more likely that the 2nd low is going to undergo bombogenesis and bring heavy snow as far west as the berkshires. I’m starting to think the mistake I made was losing confidence in my forecast just because of one bad set of runs. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 HRRR is a nice half foot for many if anyone is interested. I can see everything on my Galaxy 10. Pinch and zoom is a wonderful tool, you guys who can't see on a phone must be on flip phones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you’ve got like an iPhone 4s(which I know for certain there’s a few here that still do) theres zero reason to be posting from a computer . You can see all model data on your phone on Pivotal , tidbits etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife doesn't give two shits...wait until you're 61! There's definitely a curve. Once you're past a certain point in a marriage, spouses relish space. It's good to have separate hobbies. As for this threat, it's interesting that a lot of model runs have featured a little finger of moderate QPF reaching up into southern ME. Of course, I'm now up in Bethel so at best I'll see an inch or two of fluff - but I'll take what I can get. I'm just glad my ski getaway didn't coincide with a torch or atmospheric river.

The 4 Seasons Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Damn what did i start...seems to be pretty split between PC vs. Phone people. Theres lots of reasons to be on PC...big ass screens keyboard and mouse are 1. Everyone likes their own thing i guess. Im just as shocked as kevin that people use phones and not computers when looking at models. I do it in a pinch when im out but only cuz i have to. When im on here at 4AM posting. Its PC 99% of the time. Can we start an obs thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome the spring and summer, love it, but not the high dews. Maybe. It all gets tiresome. Probably why I’m aggravated by a 36hr event dropping 3-6”. We’ve been slammed at work too, so it all combines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
