wx4life Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Why is there like nobody posting in the main thread? Are the mods deleting that many posts? You would think at a time like this the board would be cranking! Theres like 2 posts every 5-10 minutes I was actually wondering the samething..kinda odd considering how many people are viewing that topic.I guess everyone is reading and trying to catch up or like me and keep refreshing the page to see something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I completely understand as I am a Senior Mod for a BAMA football forum. You think people here go crazy about weather? Try being a Mod on a BAMA board with the Aubies playing for a Nat. Championship. You would have thought we had lost 7 games! LOL! This goes a little beyond what you are saying but I digress... I have no problem following the rules it's just that the rules are not standard or evenly applied therefore sending the wrong, maybe, unintended signal. Anyway....looking forward to tomorrow night and I really hope everyone has a great weekend and good luck! Yep, that's the point. The rules should be applied evenly and fairly. The mods have a tough job and I respect that. Some things are going to get missed. Anyway, good luck to you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Right in the heart of it ACCUMULATION: 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED MONDAY AND MONDAY EVENING THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. A TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN WITH ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF 1/8 TO LOCALLY 1/4 INCH MAY OCCUR MONDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT ICING WILL BE PRIMARILY SOUTHEAST OF THE PIEDMONT TRIAD REGION...AND NORTH OF FAYETTEVILLE AND GOLDSBORO MONDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

NEGa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Mods aren't deleting posts, people just aren't posting. Partly because not much has changed over the past several hours, partly because people have been scared off. i was wondering where everyone was. i was thinking they were giving up on the storm or something. or it is a friday night and a foot ball game on. fortunately the people here are snow freaks too so i can get online now and then the models should start coming out later this evening and i imagine people will show back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yep, that's the point. The rules should be applied evenly and fairly. The mods have a tough job and I respect that. Some things are going to get missed. Anyway, good luck to you guys! If you haven't attended a conference, don't have a yellow, green, bold black, or red tag you're screwed on here basically it looks like. I've seen a lot of users here shift over to another place already and become more active. I asked earlier if this site even made money.. like besides donations.. and I was told they don't make a dime other than the donations to pay server costs. I was thinking about helping a guy with a really good idea get a site/forum running that was actually about the SE and not so much about the Northerners (who cause the most damage here). I got warned Dec. 24th for "off topic banter" etc, but I'll probably just be another CAE user (one of the few) and leave after this storm. That is if I'm not shown the door first.. either way it's the internet and a big button that gives you a little control over a site is nothing compared to a complete server control panel.

NEGa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Bingo NEGa! Dead time between models and it's getting very close to Nowcasting. Watching the precip starting to break out in Texas. yep. thats the model thread, so its usually not busy unless we are watching a model run. this thread is to bide our time for the next one. besides, you are right, its just about nowcast time woo hoo :snowman: plus it is Saturday Night. However, I have a son that goes to bed every night at 8pm. So we are always home at this time. ALWAYS Would be killer if this storm was 12 hour out from getting into this area,,, your right, lol, it is saturday. i may have put friday in my other post If you haven't attended a conference, don't have a yellow, green, bold black, or red tag you're screwed on here basically it looks like. I've seen a lot of users here shift over to another place already and become more active. sorry but thats not really true. everyone can, and does, participate. the model thread is to discuss models, where the mets excel. they volunteer their time, energy and efforts to write very in depth analysis. they dont have the time to banter with us, they are probably working this is a free board and not for profit. the goal isnt to make as many posts as you can. sometimes i contribute, sometimes i have nothing to add other than whats been said by someone with much more knowledge, so i just dont duplicate what they already said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 To each your own. Been around since 03 with Eastern, WWBB before that. A group of us have been around for a while and Im cool with American. Hate to lose posters but. us in the SE threads have seen a lot of new posters over the past 3+ years. Some stay and some go.

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well this is a pretty interesting setup just on the face of it. I'm watching the radar and moisture break out in Tejas too, and the very cold dry air in place here in the SE. I think it largely remains to be seen how strong the vortex will be in the GoM, and that could make a big difference. What are everyone's thoughts about central and Eastern North Carolina for Monday/Tuesday? The threats for AL, GA, and SC are pretty well established at this point and will be an earlier onset for those folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 A poster posted this in the main thread and it was canned. I forgot who the poster was but here was his post... Andy Wood at Fox Carolina 21 I have just completed a good bit of research on past storm situations regarding the scenario of small-scale storm development in the Gulf of Mexico… and how this process sometimes robs systems of moisture on a larger scale and on the northern part of a system. I will say what I have found shows that the less intense a surface low is, the better chance (still slim chance) that a line thunderstorms can develop and rob moisture content farther north. Also, a more intense surface low in the Gulf allows for less chance of this happening. Importantly, the surface low for our storm will remain weak… which presents a possibility that storms could form in the Gulf and rob moisture. I would say it’s a 10-20% chance, but that’s enough for me to mention it tonight. http://foxcarolinawe...d-rob-moisture/ Also to the MODS, this is a relevant topic as we wait for the OOZ runs!

Shawn, I personally feel it's the timing of the off-topic and "weenie" posts more than anything. Storm mode (now and Christmas) is the only time i've seen people get slapped around this winter. There's a blog on Fox 21 site for the upstate without any moderators and I really can't stand all the redundant/stupid posts but I go there to see what Andy Woods has to say b/c he's tops around here...but weeding through all the nonsense keeps me away most of the time and they don't want it to get like that here and I don't blame them. Not saying anything wrong with your posts or questions though, just in general. There's definitely a few that get away with it but also have a wealth of knowledge and put some good stuff out there as well. They tend to be more lenient towards folks like that...(WildMann or Wildabeast or whatever comes to mind) Just my 2 pennies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think it actually looks like a big deal for the Triangle now. NWS calling for 2 to 4 inches of snow with ice on top of it, and the temps not warming up anytime soon. That could lead to big time problems on the roads. Also noticed they mentioned another possible system next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
