So, you’re basing this on just one Feb?

Let me get dibs on a February thread if we have a storm then that looks like a threat for the deep south. I had good juju before, maybe if I fire it up again it'll work out, haha.
I am just saying to keep expectations low, because even if everything comes together there are no guarantees.
Congrats New England. Ugh!!!

lol leaving Wednesday Night, funny the 12z Euro and 18z GFS had zero snow in the city the next 10 days and I was just talking about the lack of snow...
despite seeing "raise plow" signs everywhereBoston averages only 25 times as much snow as ATL and 8 times as much as RDU. Hard to fight that kind of climo. Too many worry too much about the NE. It is a waste of energy imo.
I usually don’t pay attention to be honest. But this winter season, I have put a lot more in paying attention to the weather.
Im not sure why people are so obsessed with how much snow the NE gets. I dont see the same obsession with midwest cities like Chicago or Minneapolis, so im not sure what the deal is with the NE.
Maybe that doesn't apply to you. I was thinking about those who get a sick feeling from it. They're going to feel sick all of the time as they fight a losing battle. But following it because it is interesting/big storm is different to me.
Yeah, I notice nobody is obsessed with Indiana snow, either.
I think a good part of the reason for the NE snow obsession is AmericanWxBB since their main membership is concentrated there and so many posters here also post there or used to post there.
I mean for GA, AL, TN posters i could see people comparing their weather to places like KY, OH, IN due to the relatively close proximity. But the NE is like 1,000 miles away lol. Who cares what happens there ?

I think its because the east coast cities can get a truly historic blizzard type thing, its a lot more rare in Chicago and well everyone knows Minneapolis is a frozen unlivable tundra half the year
I'm only talking about it because I'm here in town
Speaking of Minneapolis, I visited there last year and really enjoyed it. I know you enjoy traveling and I recommend you going there in the late spring or summer.I think its because the east coast cities can get a truly historic blizzard type thing, its a lot more rare in Chicago and well everyone knows Minneapolis is a frozen unlivable tundra half the year

Should have let Brick start the storm thread, or tack on another name to the title: DT!

Not the living and dying by every run crowd again. The system is 6 days out not tomorrow or 3 days out. I said it yesterday. There's a signal for a storm. We have now a cutter that was a Miller a that was a slider. Give it more time to see what we really are dealing with.
The storm thread was hard to read this morning
All I know is my weather app is showing a snow icon on Saturday and Sunday #Win

Better get your bread and milk! The big ones coming! Who’d of thought middle Jan, and temps still a concern!? Remember when RC said he wished the Dec storm would be in Jan!? He we are!
Weatherbug has frozen mix for me for sat and sun.

The system might not produce a big storm next week, but still something to track. Plenty of time for things to evolve, and the models are still quite different with what they are showing. Maybe this system could just set the stage for something bigger the following week, too.

Lol, I take a break from the boards this weekend and a storm thread is started. Figures...
Trying to catch up, this looks like a pretty marginal threat for the clt area. I like that the ensembles keep the low along the gulf coast, but the high pressure on both the gefs and the eps is way up in Canada, and not that strong. The 50/50 is trending stronger but it's still not very strong. I think at most this is a nuisance event IMBY. Be interesting to see how it evolves this week though.
At this point, more focused on getting the overall pattern cranking by 1/20.

I agree. From what I have seen nothing to be overly excited about for the weekend storm yet unless the hp trends in a better spot and stronger. Definitely looks promising after that with more cold air in place and more snow pack to the north.

Ugh, not liking the over moderation I am seeing in the storm thread by a couple of mods. Reminds me too much of American.

Totally agree. Many of us don’t live in the areas looking good for next weekend. When people make blanket statements about a run “looking good” you’re gonna get a little flak. Of course if it becomes incessant then it should be dealt with but when folks are passionate about something, they will occasionally channel that passion.

Such as? From what I can see nothing has been deleted today. Maybe moved but not deleted.

Stuff that is being moved now wasn't moved before, though. People are getting warned on posts that have not been a problem in the past.
Did you read the post by rain cold the other day?

I actually explained why the run looked good, not just because it brought snow to my area but the fact that it had made huge improvements, in other words, another couple of improvements like that and many would be happy. I'm totally at a loss on how to respond anymore without offending or ruffling someone's feathers....
If some of y'all really new what went into starting a message board and all the time, money, effort, behind the scenes discussions to attempt to make it the best place possible for all. To do all in their power to learn from past mistakes, to make it inviting, friendly, free-flowing..... it's not effortless at all, it's difficult and well some of y'all are starting to just, anyway. Show some understanding and respect is all I ask.... thanks
