Misc 2017 Banter/venting thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'd like to humbly offer a suggestion.

How about a thread devoted to model links so that folks can add to their arsenal? I'm thinking solid stuff (like for example, TropicalTidbits), and some off-the-wall stuff (like the Brazilian) might be good.

For example, here's one I use just for quick looks when time does not allow much review - http://wxmaps.org/

Just tossin' this out there FWIW (or might be) - Phil
If it's worth it, I defer to Staff to start the thread. If it's worth it, to keep some order, maybe a page we could just add to so it's all in one place, broken down by category so that folks could easily locate what they want (e.g. "General","Observations", "GFS/GEFS", "MJO Related", "Euro (Free)" "Teleconnections", "Silly & Off-the Wall", "College Sites", and so forth). ???????

Ezra Pound said that one needs to plagiarize so well and crafty that no one will know, or acknowledge the plagiarism so you're not a cad (words to that effect)
 
If we were to post 24x36 images of old storms who would be interested

I think we need a fix or hit of something good to look at!? Maybe some good surface maps as the storm was occurring!? None of those crazy clown maps!

Obviously we wouldn't do clown maps either folks own images or satellite

I guess I should have clarified. If we were to make 24x36 posters of historic storms who would be interested. Obviously at a price but not excessive

Just wanted to say this board is awesome and nice to have another board to go to. I am enjoying this one more and more. The pessimism from one poster and the sarcasm from another in every post is making the other board almost unbearable for me now.

Get to work, Brick LOL
Hey - I'm over there a lot, but here is home now. Did you see how Burns called out Jon last night?
 
While there's no precip here, man is it windy and it's cloudier than I thought it'd be. If there was precip it'd be lite rain though as it's too warm.

Not sure where in GA you are - but down here in G'ville FL, it's actually been January for 2 days! Enjoy ..... ;)

I have lurked there for years to see how all that discussion over there is only towards NC folks, and yes, the admin there is very serious. Too serious. Love it here since everyone gets along for the most part and the admins here are great.

everyone gets along here unless sleds are bought over a week in advance :)

One good thing about this BB is that no one state comes even close to dominating among active members though it would be nice if Phil could get some company in FL even though that isn't easy in winter. He does have some fairly nearby far S GA active members though (like Valdosta area). I don't recall any active in Jacksonville, FL. I see lots of AL, NC, SC, GA, and TN. Nice fairly even split there. MS/LA/AR could use some more. Golfer in AR is the lone active AR poster I think though Memphis isn't far.

Just wait until August/Sept and tropics will get us down here going and posting like crazy - maybe (though I'm prayin' for a NADA season!). Meantime - this is G'ville FL, which ain't FL in winter ... LOL
Come May - I'll give you a 90- day ---> 90º with T-storms, maybe 70º at night. Really LOL

The only thing - can't let this turn into a NC dominated board - too many other folks care about weather in the whole SE (even N FL LOL) - just sayin'

I used to post over there but then I stopped because they didn't have the Power of Positivity.

Lol! Because positive thoughts and wishing upon stars, bring great snowstorms!
 
Finally heard about this forum as I haven't been on american much anymore. They are ruining the forum. Its a free forum and you can't say anything without getting warned or banned. Love listening to all and even laugh at everyone when we can. Looking forward to this forum. Another NC guy here that loves snow. I am a contractor for plowing snow!!

welcome welcome !! Hopefully your business will have some activity over the next few weeks. Don't have to worry about being warned or banned here UNLESS you buy a sled over a week out when a fantasy storm starts showing then it's a whole different story ......ask ATL

Welcome
