So few adults in this world have something that allows that, and when you do, cherish it for life bc it's a gift. Same here pretty much. Something about heavy snow that brings joy and wonder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do after it snows Not everyone enjoys the same type of weather. Most on this board like cold and snow, you like warmer weather, and some of us even like both. Yeah, it’s not really logical but who cares? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Well thus far seems like the 0z NAM is faster then the 18z NAM but a bit slower then GFS (through 0z Mon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George001 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 For me part of it is I find it really fascinating how unpredictable the weather is. Also enjoy the aesthetic of it, whether it’s watching the snow pile up during a monster blizzard, severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, hurricanes, extreme heat, etc, it’s just really cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 A big snowstorm is one of the most joyful experiences a weather nut can have. For too many reasons to list but snow in general gives me that youthful exuberance that I’ve had since I remember my first big snowstorm at 3yrs old in Poland. My dad’s fiat stuck in the driveway and my older brother pushing me down the hill on a piece of cardboard. The fact I can still remember that is proof it’s part of my DNA. My kids love it now and I get to go out to enjoy it with them. I’d love for them to experience a 24” that they would remember for a lifetime…continuing this passion and understanding of snow which eventually trickles down to an overall passion for weather/mother nature. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Remember the old TWC commercials and when they showed snow they alluded to feeling like a child again. Ray you nailed it and that’s exactly it-beautifully said! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing like it. hands down my favorite, love all aspects of weather but yeah, something about how snow transforms the yuck winter landscape of brown and lack of color is amazing. I recall when we were kids just walking around, staying out in snowstorms until nearly frostbitten, I distinctly remember the April noreaster in 82, third grade spring break, almost getting frost bite from being out in it, good times!

I think we often get labeled a certain way because how hyper focused we become on tracking snows and how emotional we can get when it doesn’t go our way….some people mistakenly view it the wrong way. Meaning, I don’t think anyone wants snow just to have it…they want it because of all these reasons mentioned, and more. It often doesn’t Come across that way but no one has the time or mental bandwidth, except for Tip, to explain to everyone before each possible event…why do we want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Obviously it's the NAM still in the clown range, but I don't think it is as good as it seems. It's (hopefully) a bit too amp happy but verbatim, we may be dealing with major dryslot issues quickly with all the goods well west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
