CheesyPoofs Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Feb 2007? I don't remember exactly how far west the low tracked for that event, but that was pretty much a major sleet storm with only a few flakes at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That wasn't a lakes cutter. Yeah, I didn't think it was. People have a habit of calling any storm that doesn't track up the coast a "lakes cutter," regardless of how far west the low actually tracks.

CheesyPoofs Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 No Feb 26 Sorry to go off topic from the point of the thread (what else is there to do as we wait for the Euro? ), but I don't recall any Feb 26th event?? Looking at the LWX archives, it looks like a few places in VA (Culpepper, EZF, orange) got an inch or two but nothing in the immediate DC/Baltimore metro.

Looking at the LWX archives, it looks like a few places in VA (Culpepper, EZF, orange) got an inch or two but nothing in the immediate DC/Baltimore metro. I had 5" of wet snow from the storm. That was the infamous one where LWX predicted ZR to rain and it was all snow at least in the western burbs - they hoisted WSWs right when it was winding down. There's little documentation on it from their site- wish I could pull it up on eastern. http://www.njfreeway.../25-Feb-07.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Druff Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I am a teacher. Are you trying to tell me that I shouldn't wish for snow days or that wishing for snows means I don't deserve a raise? No. I'm simply saying that, to the majority of the taxpaying public, who don't get snow days off, who don't get 2 weeks for Christmas, who don't get 2.5 months for summer vacation, your pleading for snow days and cheering when it happens is not conducive to your argument for deserving of a raise. Don't get me wrong. My mom's a teacher. My wife's a teacher. As such, I have a lot of friends who are teachers. I think, on the whole, they're underpaid and even more under-appreciated. My point is that the snow weenieishness doesn't help your cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that snow days for me = happiness because I love weather and happiness because I get to sleep in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 OTS That may very well be, but i think the setup will still look decent. OTS is no big deal at this point, if it is still OTS on Saturday then i will jump ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't think it really matters what the Euro or any of the models mean at this point. So far this year, everything that looked good at 5-6 days, no matter what the model, has not worked out. Yeah, I enjoy the "game" of all this and wouldn't be here if I didn't, but the days of thinking the Euro or any one model is capable of reaching a reasonably accurate forecast for our area is gone, if it ever "reasonably" existed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that the snow weenieishness doesn't help your cause. Teachers also get paid according to their time-- 50k or whatever the average pay is peanuts Down here, a teacher out of college gets 32k or so. Their average work week when they do work is 55 hours or so between prep time and teaching. I don't think its bad all they root for snow days.

mattie g Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That may very well be, but i think the setup will still look decent. OTS is no big deal at this point, if it is still OTS on Saturday then i will jump ship. I also expect an OTS solution, which would cause more alarm given the other model runs. The "seasonal trend" hasn't been good to us, so it'll rightly cause us to be gun-shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
