Hey what do ya know, another system showing up on the GFS that favors the same areas that have already been hit by a significant winter storm 2 times this year. I swear man..
CAE isn't exactly the snow capital of the world . May be time to move.
 
May be time to move.

Say it again (although, we get our share in spurts). Constantly, complaining about it ain't gonna change anything. As, you stated.... Move. Vermont and Maine is beautiful in the spring and summer, and winter's are longer with lots of snow.
 
Yeah the flu shot was ---- this year . I didn't get it . I've had three employees that got the flu shot miss a combined 23 days due to the flu. My wife works at a hospital and they've had employees left and right be out due to the flu and yes they all received the shot .

I found an article that said it's only 30% effective overall, and only 10% effective against the most common strain.

There's also something else going on called the "Carolina Crud." Body aches doesn't accompany it like the flu, but it can make you feel like crap for about two or three days. It's like a combo of a cold and sinus infection. You'll typically feel better much quicker than a flu patient, but its symptoms can linger for awhile.

I've never had a flu shot, and neither the flu. <knock on wood>

The point is being missed. I have a family, moving is about the most unrealistic thing ive ever heard of. The frustration comes from seeing everyone around the Columbia area seeing appreciable winter weather while we get left out. If anyone on this thread lived here and had a passion for the weather then they would understand the frustration. But it's hard for anyone to understand it on here because close to everyone on this thread has been hit. I know Columbia isn't the "snow capital of the world". The point that i'm getting at is that we are being left out, which is nothing we can control but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Anyone can complain if they won't. That's why it's the banter section, you come here and ----- and complain. If it's not that serious to you, then that's cool. But if you really enjoy weather like I do and have a passion for it, then you get frustrated when you are left watching from the outside. Saying "move" is ridiculous. Again, this is the banter thread.

Are you sure VT and ME are beautiful in the spring ? I imagine its still pretty chilly there in March and April.

Sure, you can complain. I can reply to the complainers, if I choose to do. Once again, what's the use of complaining when your complaints won't change anything? You can't control the weather. You feel you have the right to say it every turn, and I feel I have the right for you to not say it at every turn. Banter or not.

If we were face-to-face, then I'd doubt you would constantly repeat the same thing over and over. You'd likely strive for a higher sense, per the conversation. This isn't really any different, if you ask me.

Saying, "moving" isn't ridiculous at all. It's only ridiculous because you wanna complain. Moving is an option.

Have you ever complained about something you can’t control? Or are you the definition of the perfect example of how to handle disappointment? Again, if I’m an annoyance to you or anyone by complaining then ok, but don’t act like you never been disappointed over something you can’t control. This is a weather thread. Most people in here either like, love, or are passionate about the weather. So if it’s doesn’t work out, this is where we come. Banter. To complain.

It's been awhile since I've done it over and over. I do mean a long time ago. If I do it as of today, then I can promise you, it's usually something that's said once or at the most twice before moving on. I don't waste time worrying or complaining about anything that I cannot control. It'll have to be a matter of life or death nowadays, if I'm gonna sweat something that I can't control. Otherwise, I'll dust myself off and move on.

Life has its disappointments, but I choose my battles very wisely about what should be of concernment. As, much as I love snow, you can bet I'm not gonna continue to complain and ----- about missing out on a particular storm or storms. I wouldn't be here if I didn't enjoy the weather (particularly, snow). There's bigger fish to fry, instead of losing your wits about missing out on snow.

I assure you I know the ways and disappointments of life. If this is something you don’t let get to you, then that’s cool. But everyone has something they are into, the weather is my passion.. and gamecock football. I’m not trying to be rude or anything but At the end of the day I am who I am. I’ve lived here all my life and know the weather here. When I see what I’ve seen this winter, it’s disapponting. If it annoys you, I’m sorry but it is what it is. I know there are plenty of people on here like me who are into it just as much as I am.

I'm not trying to change you. I am who I am. You see how that works. We can do this all day. But, don't complain when I have a rebuttal.
 
I like to pop in on the banter thread every now and then to see who still needs snow! Man! We need a 73' redux asap!
 
I won't. I never am. It seems it's you who is always alarmed. I can bring the heat with the best. I've been tame in my approach due to not derailing the board.
Then if you want to keep this going message me. Or we can respectfully end it here. Doesn’t matter to me.

No need. Just leave it right here. It'd be wise, man. I'm not the one. I'd prefer to keep myself trouble free. Particularly, over something so trivial.
