frd Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Next week we are in a hybrid pattern of regimes favoring frequent snowstorms of lesser intensity . A combo of the Greenland high regime and the Alaskan Ridge regimes. https://x.com/burgwx/status/1887293421917700567 From Tomer, Note I said frequent snowstorms - I didn't necessarily say *major* snowstorms. The *biggest* snowstorms historically are more likely to happen during Greenland High regimes, while Alaskan Ridge regimes can favor more frequent snowstorms, but with a lower individual ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I was using an effing Blackberry to type in here at times. Yes kids. I used fruit to text and email. Marcus (formerly vortmax) and I cofounded #neweather on mirc back in 1997(?). Ian used to get on once in a while and i think Randy too, but im not sure. We were also, at least i was, very active on the ne.weather usenet bulletin boards. Gary Gray, Joseph Bartlo, myself, and a few others were the originals to that group. I went by "SteveB" at the time. So yeah, I'm old as dirt and probably have most of ya beat wrt seniority. There is someone name Jerry that I think may post in the New England forum that goes back and also a Logan that might be in the NY forum, but i dont peruse those forums too often. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really old - almost born in the 50's. Oh, yes. dial up! Never forget those modems! I appreciate that I am not the only old timer that spends a lot of lurking time here. It is nice to share a strange obsession with others who have the same obsession 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember when i got my first computer and AOL how happy i was. Those were the good old days, when most people were actually sane and you cared about your fellow human beings.

Since we're talking about being old, I still remember hooking up to the old dial-up modem, hearing that iconic rythmic static sound and buzz as it connected! And of course you couldn't receive or make calls while online. Then DSL came, where you could do calls at the same time along with blazing 1-3 Mbps speeds! Revolutionary! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
