I dont know exactly what happened but we've all been on here long enough, why can't we all just chill, get along, and mesh together. There's no room for sensitivity, and everyone should be okay with someone calling them out, hashing it out, and moving on. Maybe that's why we can't get a good snow, the juju on here is throwing it off. Life's short, let the past be the past and let's enjoy talking weather with each other. Let's not complicate it.

I can totally agree with that. Trust me on this. I have had a very rough time of it the last 7+ years. Not easy sometimes to let go but especially in my case ( health wise ) I have done just that. Had too. Dealt with heart issues ( widow maker which resulted in double bypass surgery July 6, 2015), had my house shot up ( via ak 47 ) with 18 rounds just missing me by a foot, etc. I could probably write a couple of best sellers on just the last three years alone.. So don't you go anywhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we had was the ETA, NGM, AVN, MRF, GGEM...and the Euro ran once a day at 3:00 AM, with like 5 available layers (no QPF). Things have certainly changed.

I've had absolute tunnel vision since the conception of the current thread but yeah, it looks a little rough around the edges for the coming weeks.

Had no idea how to read/use them, but kinda figured it out. Then I found the TWC forums. And then someone posted a link to WWBB. And the rest is history.

And the rest is history. I found this sub during the lead up to GHD I, a forecaster I used to follow (forgot his name) kept tweeting about a historic blizzard, with incredible model agreement for the Midwest, and it got my interest. Weather has been a fascination and hobby since I was a little kid, so I was stoked to find folks similar to me. Admittedly I don’t post a lot because I mainly read analysis from some of my favorite posters like RC and OHweather, and all the Mets here. Been through many heartbreaks here, including GHD I and GHD II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Its about time I get some interesting wx, amazed at how stupidly boring most of the recent years have been so maybe this blizz will make up for it, unlikely but I expect an equalizer. My t-storm season started off better than other years with more in the early warm season but then became a joke by June. Not a single one was memorable, even regular t-storms were weak caliber, forget about any possible severe here. Last exciting event was tor warned storms in Sept 2021. I wrote in one of these banter threads we haven't gotten a synoptic snow storm for Dec IMBY since 2008 so I went with the trend for another Dec shutout - jinx.

Because when that showed anything half decent you knew something was coming considering it's dry nature. See PDII when I was living in Ohio which is not long after I joined.

luckyweather Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Mchenry county, IL abusing emergency warning system to send out a tornado warning style critical alert that their offices are closing early due to weather.

Agree, more like 2012 I think here. When I meet new people something I like to ask is if they perceive storms as being worse in the far past than they are now and only 1 out of a dozen said no. The one who stated nah thought heavier rains were occurring in present t-storms but I haven't noticed. Everyone else knows storms are mostly bark no bite in current times.
