powderfreak Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 45 minutes ago, PhineasC said: LOL it's 45 here now at nearly 9:30 with stiff torch winds. This is a legit torch wave and was mostly missed by the warm-loving crew. They hyped hot 300 hr GFS plots all winter and then I verified at -4 instead, but slept through this one it seems. Any strong SW flow where afternoon 850s rise above 0C are going to torch in lee side mixing. Most spots are in the 40s with gusty winds looking at the ASOS network across New England. It's been a while since we haven't been frigid for a period of several days. Sunday and into early next week will jack up the heating demand again. The peaks are staying cold though which is all that matters. Preserve the snow up high as long as possible, down where people live it's nice to get a break from the real cold stuff. Very western US or even European mountain climate vibe right now... mild dry flow down low while the high terrain keeps the snow. I love that stuff.

More recently 2011-12 makes the list, Octosnow notwithstanding. I wasn’t here for the 01-02 and 97-98 seasons but 11-12 I was and I just don’t remember it now…..maybe the bad ones you repress IDK…..the octo bomb was epic though…..we took it up the ass hard here…lol…10 days on genny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWx Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 6 hours ago, LibertyBell said: Same to you-- well I know people who have it, and that's typical behavior. It was an observation, nothing more. What was way worse was making derogatory comments about Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, don't you think? The guy is a total ass and it's time to call him out on it-- don't be defending him, you just promote his behavior more. So go cry me a river for being "dickish" to him-- he deserves a hell of a lot worse than that. "R" has nothing to do with autism. The dude is a smart dude, he clearly has issues with people and trolls people and makes tonedeaf near-racist digs (or did you fail to notice he made a derogatory comment using two accomplished BLACK MEN?) This has nothing to with "R" and everything to do with his behavior for multiple years across multiple forums. He's a 5 posted guy who spends his entire day giving out 100s of weenies to everyone else and for what-- liking snow? So get your facts straight before you open your mouth, until then, stand down. Oh, I wasn't defending him... I was just making an observation. Seems like some of the conversations you two have been having back and forth have been promoting each other's Behavior. I would have commented on his post also but I couldn't find it at the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to get to the point where big management companies will hold the accounts an sub the work out. Just think about being in western Ct or Mass with a few pathetic storms which turn little profit and a law suit… This is exactly why I gave up my small residential route in 2014. I was doing it with no special insurance and finally got smart enough to realize that was a stupid thing to be doing. As soon as I priced insurance for the following year my snow plow and truck were up for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
