Misc 2019 Banter & Friendly Conservation

I said last Wednesday that a week from then that the board would be excited because we'd be tracking a Winter storm... Well, here comes Wednesday and things aren't looking to good. Guess I can't do it like Tony Romo.
 
Here’s a warning for those hugging the FV3 . It’s posted on TT under the maps

Note: Parallel FV3-GFS data arrives later than the operational GFS, and may not always be reliable or available every day.

Ok, I have been on here since the start and way back to talkweather. I never post, just read and try to learn a little a long the way. Brick is right, you guys used to be a fun group of people (way better than American) but now it’s all seriousness and everyone is rude as He$$! I constantly see posts telling guests to sign up and join the conversation but then when they do, they get told to sit back and learn, or posts constantly being moved/deleted. I get that some need to be moved but it really does seem like some are singled out.
Just my honest opinion.

I'd like to point out, that I was banned multiple times from TW. The last time was having a drunken melt down over a very specific poster that was allowed to get away with any and everything in any thread they wanted to. Fair enough, I guess. Thing is, they did have a tendancy to ban users from their site to the point they weren't even allowed to read the page (it'd give an error message saying you've been permanently banned and it would never be lifted).

This community continues to grow and the mods are trying to strike a balance between fun, engaging, and also informative posts. Having multiple people who decide what or who's posts are moved can be greatly affected by their own frustrations, experience, and thought process. The inconsistency is really starting to show because there is a small group of posters complicating things for us.

We have an admin forum that only the staff can see, and you'd be surprised how much discussion there is between the staff on what actions to take. It's getting especially worse lately, and being transparent here (not trying to single out or scare anyone here), its become quite apparent that the problems with the moderation, complaining, and repetitive topic is narrowed down to 4 or 5 members.

With that last statemenet, we could take the easy route and just lock people out just as other communties would or have done, but we choose not to. Instead, we would rather continue to hope they will learn and eventually start putting posts in the right locations.

Just think it is funny how this pattern we are in was so hyped up for winter storms, but we had the big storm in December when the pattern wasn't hyped as much.

The late Nov, early Dec pattern was hyped starting mid Nov. This winter was hyped back in the fall but the pattern for this January has sucked and looks to suck for the foreseeable future.

Read this, pattern looked great for Dec and it produced. We don’t have that and haven’t anything like this since early Dec.

Yeah the pattern in early December actually was decent like I what I saw y'all were talking about, then the pacific jet blasted the US with mild air after that storm that produced for parts of NC. If anything like that happens again soon, turn the lights out on winter for some of us.
 
Everybody was having a goober fit at the end of the FV3 but it looked like a cutter with a wedge down to the Carolina/Georgia coast..#nextCA2C2214-C5DB-4CD2-BFC6-D87BA5594963.png

It's funny how people always say that we need a system to be suppressed in the mid-range but as soon as we get a suppressed system we all cliff dive.
 
I've recently looked at 1/26/04 in the reanalysis maps, which was a significant ice storm for me in my memory, and it looked similar to that honestly, Jimmy. (2005 was an ice storm for me as well but was not as significant, so no, I'm not misremembering the year) Inland runner with a clear CAD signal. Once things warmed up, the damage was done, and precip was just about gone.

They weren't forecasting it beforehand, and my dad drove me the 2 miles to my elementary school, grumbling about school not being cancelled based off the current conditions. That day ended up being an early dismissal (and the next two days got cancelled) and he was pretty ticked off about it all because when he went to come get me, there was trees falling everywhere and he actually had to get out and walk to school as there was a tree blocking the road, and had to do some driving around to try to find a route back home. Mom was very upset when I went in the house. It was based off of that storm that my dad said if there is winter precip falling, even if school isn't called off, you're not going to school. But of course a case like that didn't happen, since it's rare.

Well, a case likely didn't happen much after that because after that ice storm, Augusta through the Columbia area didn't see another Winter storm til Feb 2010. Right now, we are closing in on a 5 year drought of no major winter storms ( a few very minor events here or there). That was a 6 year stretch back then.
