Why does there always seem to be such hatred for the greatest teams in all sports, pro and college? I don't get it but maybe that's because I see things differently and usually love seeing great teams keep up their greatness. I feel the same way for great individuals in sports like those in golf and tennis. I love seeing past winners keep winning in most cases keeping up their seeming superhuman-ness. I certainly don't get sick of these teams/individuals.

For me, I personally like humans to be gracious and show humility and be cordial to other humans. Belichick is a cheater and an a hole to boot. Tiger woods sucks. I hate the Tarheels just because. It’s mostly because of their fans and the way they have acted through the years. But I will admit that a lot of fanboys are annoying, no matter who they pull for. I’m sure they would say the same about State fans. Fine. Mike Tyson wasn’t unlikable until he went crazy. I like Roger Federer fine. But back on point, it’s fun to pull for an underdog. There’s something inside that wants to see the unexpected happen. I mean, we pull for snowstorms all winter long against the great SE ridge and +NAO.
 
And I don’t understand why they can’t make a really great Star Wars movie. I mean, it’s really not that hard. But they’re lazy.

Good points. Actually, I've never been a fan of Tiger because of his personality although admittedly I like that he has come back and he is one of the greatest of al time. Back in the day, I was a big Jack Nicklaus fan and liked him much more as a person than Tiger. I also liked Tom Watson a lot among others. I like Federer but my alltime tennis fav is ironically enough, Jimmy Connors, despite his not being classy. He just always seemed to be the ultimate overachieving underdog.

We all should pull for the ultimate underdog, @pcbjr, to get snow.

Man, I pull for all of y'all; you're neighbors; just please remember me and pull for OTS in August and September ... :eek:
 
Obviously I don’t take LR operational runs seriously but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating when it shows a parade of cutters

This was the GEPS/EPS day 10-15 for what was the first week of Jan. Looks like a sure thing great pattern.

It looks like we will get some nice shots of cold but doubt any blocking.

This is why a few of us are so damn pessimistic. Been following weather boards for 10 years. Kicking the can will certainly take a toll on you but it doesn’t make tracking any less fun

Frustrating for sure. How many times since 2010 have models showed fantasy blocking patterns in the day 12+ only for it not to materialize. We have seen it so many times. Will see in a week or so if this is legit. I hope it is, I want snow.

No doubt we will have some serious cold shots behind fronts. So cold air is around.
 
People wouldn't be so pessimistic if there wasn't so much hype and BS about this winter. Everyone understands the front half of MW was supposed to be ablove average slightly, but being in mid January running ten degrees above average is discouraging when most past El Niño's had bn January's and February's. We just live in different times now. Brad P.'s season forecast has been pretty accurate so far. I would never ever forecast a below normal winter in the southeast if I were a met in this day and age, it just isn't going to happen again for the entire season.

Speaking of professional wx bb trolls, anyone remember "rainstorm" aka "jxdama"? She (he?) often made me laugh due to being so over the top. RS/jx posted at WWBB and Eastern. She was the anti-weenie troll of trolls. Mack has a bit of rainstorm in his trolling blood.

Sorry, I put this in the wrong thread initially.

"Zip for DT and me!" She(or he) really knew how to push DT's buttons. I also remember the epic battles between DT and "Meteotrade" at Wright-Weather. Meteotrade accused DT of using "smoke and mirrors" in his weather forecasting. Those were the days!
