I agree. Spring is here. I hate it when winter ends, though.
I'll go get the paint to cover up the writing.
Home with the flu and just woke up; you beat me to it.I'll go get the paint to cover up the writing.
Yeah, a +PNA can still correlate to a bad pattern if it isn't tall enough. I'm hoping Eric is right about the JMA being a bit better than the EPS and GEFS if I read it right. We need to make it to phase 8 even if it's in the COD, but not for 2 days or so. It would be horrible to speed through the phases only to get back to 3, 4, and 5 in a hurry. But then again, MJO isn't everything.
Look how huge Atl is,,,this is just a small portion ..# other skylines are not even shown in this pic....1-29-18
The moon angle is mere days away from letting it get below 30 at night anymore! Spring has arrived!
Either way, winters over! The Euro and it's weeklies say so!
:weenie:
I think we can stick a fork in this one folks. Gentleman, it has been a privilege
2nd that motion, and really they should have no reason to even be in the winter threads, winter is over so they say. They can concentrate on writing and arithmetic because it's obvious they can't read.
The drama hours like to happen every day it seems, and yes, I have said just to punt winter several times, and really we have no idea what the weather will do. The models aren't doing well at all, so cold warm, you can't tell which will happen.
I really don't see the problem. No models are showing cold at the end of the runs , weeklies blew yesterday, desperation talk of SSW event, who says winter can't be over? Could just as easily be avg to above and no more snow for anybody, as it could be colder and snowy
True... I punted til V-day so I'm gonna stick with that but to say it's done entirely is a bit much imho. We all feel better when we see surface reflections of cold/snow but when that's not there we have to sort of trust the larger wheels that are in motion and see what happens.
I think it's more of how those statements are made, you have to admit you and others make statements of winter being over that appear to sound finite, no way no how it could change. IF that is how you truly feel then why bother? Serious question
Usually it's out of frustration. When we were all supposed to relax and mid Feb was gonna be rocking, now that's not what the indicies have been showing the last few days, and we start pulling out JMA MJO forecasts ( who new) we are rapidly losing prime climo, and if the great changes to cold and wintry pattern take another week or two to materialize, we are in serious trouble! We can't even get snow/wintry precip right in January, so March very, very rarely works out for 90% of the board.
I'll end with this thought because I understand the frustration but you didn't really answer my question and I'm not even directing this at just you. If a poster feels winter is over, in other words no more cold no shot at wintry precip, it's done but continues to post in winter threads then they either believe there is still a shot at something wintry, which by their own actions argues against their own statements or they are trolling. Which is it?
Mack half trolls, half thinks winter is over, and half thinks there's still a chance for snow. He's tall, so he gets an extra 50%.
You're generous, I'd probably go more 75%, 25%, 25%.... lol
I don't think I troll too much, just arguing with myself. Some people troll 24 / 7, I guess I just need affirmation everything's going to be ok. Probably the biggest snow weenie there is , just living in the wrong place for that I guess
That's what makes it so much fun. Year in, year out, searching for that Great White Buffalo..
Mack's posts make me laugh...so add 25% for that!
