Cold Rain Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 There aint nobody here Where is everybody at? I guess it must be Friday night Or maybe it's more than that. I guess the weather's dull Looks like the pattern's dead. The only snow there is to find Is conjured in your head. But even though now all is calm And everyone is gone I still can't keep away from here I got to get my weather on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary Over many a strange and curious plot of modeling galore While I studied, keyboard tapping, suddenly there came a rapping As if someone big and strapping, knocking at my bedroom door Must be the wife, I muttered, knocking at my bedroom door Only this and nothing more. Now distinctly on I carry, on through this bleak January Looking for another snow, another storm and then one more Eagerly I wished the morrow, energy I need to borrow Borrow for another day of searching for the snowy, icy score There it is I shout! I see it! On the GFS, the score! Now let me see one model more. The CMC shows snow and ice. The Ukmet looks so very nice. It thrills me, fills me with delight. But the Dgex says, "No dice" Suddenly the knocking grows. Addiction's bad - the wife, she knows. "You on that weather board?", she throws, when all at once my senses froze. Could this be true what I was seeing? So loud the beating on the door. I couldn't take it anymore. The door flung wide and in she came. Head hung down to hide my shame. I tried but still came back the same to play this foolish weather game. I tried to tell her, make her listen. But she wouldn't pay attention. I tried to speak of my affliction of cold and snow and ice addiction. I explained of blocking, CAD and bombing, modeling and so much more But she shut me down forever more. I remember as the screen went black, a moment I wish I had back The dual block, the perfect track with no cold air there was to lack One for the ages -- for weather lore, not like we'd ever seen before. So much snow there was in store in just a day and one day more. So the mighty Euro showed with only 48 short hours more But the wife said, "nevermore". So now I go on off to bed dreaming of a new storm thread. Should I, could I start one more? What weather then would be in store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for tonight's reprise, I'm going to tackle the Night Before Christmas. Wife wanted to watch Forrest Forrest Gump, which is a good movie, but I would rather be in the weather forum.

Cold Rain Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Twas the night before Sunday and all through the forum, Not a poster was posting -- just silence and boredom. The forecasts were filled with warmth and despair No mention of cold, ice or snow in the air. The ridging was nestled down south in the east The raging Pacific jet stream was a beast The NAO up, the PNA down The mid-Winter's thaw had settled in town When there on the two forty O GFS A low pressure bomb of 960 or less Just off of Charleston or maybe Savannah With a 1050 high slightly east of Montana Away to the Euro I turned in a flash No ensembles, unfortunately not enough cash But agreement was there, the same storm indeed The sight of a BECS was just what we need And blocking, yes blocking, how quickly it grew And PNA ridging was showing up too Hope now was kindled -- our purpose restored Now maybe all will come back to the board Cheeznado, come Matthew, on Delta and Jeremy On Brandon and Robert and Dawson and Raleigh Make forecasts, discussions and maps now for all And put 20 inches inside your first call The blizzard of blizzards, the one for all time Just 10 days away, no more than a dime Excitement rebuilds now as posters return Living and dying by each model turn That's how it could be, that's how it has been And oh how I wish we could do it again But although the big one's not yet in our sight Maybe it's coming and coming tonight.

GaffneyPeach Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I will be the first to admit to whining about not being able to get out this last week (road is still icy believe it or not), driveway is a mud slide, missed 4 days of work for which I had to burn VAC days and being cold...but I sat down to watch a few recorded shows and then it happened....all the warnings and closings from Sunday night...right back in my face. So, when is the next one? PSWD (Post-Storm-Weenie-Disorder) I got it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Why? The end of January through February have almost always been the months where the chances are highest for a big snowstorm or two. No reason to throw the towel in. To be sure you realize whos thread that came from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 We had a favorable pattern all last winter and only got one good snow out of it, too. Getting more than one a winter lately is too much to ask for around here. Brick, Maybe you should call God and complain. I'm sure he'll listen to you and fill your back yard full of something.

This is incredible http://www.youtube.c...&vq=medium#t=15 that was amazing and worth watching throughout. I'd love to see that snowcone, how the mist freezes before hitting the bottom and making a huge pile of icecrystals. Plus, the glowing falls in February. I hope to one day get out there.

Or maybe I have a talent for wasting time while long movies are on or during stretches of boring weather. I did The Raven on the previous page. Anyway, it worked.
