And I’ve not been hostile with you since. I’m trying to grow and mature. Better late than never. I still disagree with some of your opinions but you aren’t a troll and I can disagree and debate in a more respectful way. Trolls are different. They aren’t making posts in an intellectually honest way. They’re just trying to annoy. Yeoman is trying to get under your skin and you’re letting him. And the harsh reality is there are lots of people like that and they aren’t all going to just leave you alone so best to either learn to dish it back and have fun with it or just ignore them. You can’t “win” with someone whose goal is just to annoy you. Thank you very much . You younger folks have access to data that was non existent when I was working on how to forecast starting in about 1965. By 1980 I was taken into the DC weather fold and they too found me not like them but I was accurate and the broadcasts began. By 2000 started getting involved with the internet . I too want good relations and I did miss your previous olive branch but now I know and intend to reciprocate even if I was brusque some posts earlier. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 5 minutes ago, WEATHER53 said: Very very good stuff and I agree with all of it except the “overreaction” characterization. Don’t start in on me and you won’t hear a peep in response. I mailed this last storm well in advance and that really irritates some because, as you stated perfectly, my analysis methods involved decades of record keeping diaries from the 60s into 80’s before models were readily available. It has served me well and kept me engaged with many weather services businesses outside of this board. So a piss ass pot shot taker .will be responded to by me . Or his jollies can be sought elsewhere and not at my expense nor thus boards expense unless you all enjoy this shit. So I will simply be a continued non tradition forecaster and enjoy it until the barbs fly again. I won’t slink off to the “ignore ” Like I’ve said, the ball is in a court that’s not mine. I fully desire amicable exchange of information and opinion. I don’t find juvenile jerk “fun making” of any use here . Howard, what you quoted from me about the moon angle had nothing to do with you in the slightest.. I can't help that you appear to be so insecure you think every joke is cracked at your expense. If I'm important enough to you to go on long, rambling posts about me instead of pressing the ignore button, so be it. I know this weather forum is serious business with life or death consequences, but believe it or not a lot of people have fun reading a joke or making fun of each other on occasion.. If not, Randy is welcome to boot me if he wants.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but most of us can't analyze anything past like 10 days, and as soon as the slightest whiff of a change in pattern shows up it's going to be bedlam with the sun angle and ground temps and torch talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 1 minute ago, Fozz said: For me it has to be a very big storm (MECS or HECS) to be worth staying up. I got up super early in January 2016, barely had any sleep, but still managed to enjoy the whole thing up until the very end. I only missed a few overnight hours of that storm. It started on a Friday so staying up late wasn't a problem, and I woke up well before the sun came up. Events during the week, I just say screw it, sleep is more important and need to be sharp for work the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the average person tolerates snow as long as it doesn’t disrupt their life, especially their work or commute. There are some who absolutely hate the sight of all things winter, but I doubt that they’re the majority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
