Yep. Amazing this wouldn't even be thread worthy even in bad years. Shows just how bad the last 2 years have been.
Why do you even care whether there's a thread? We'd just be posting about this in the December thread if we didn't have an event thread. Doesn't matter where it gets posted

I think you bring up a valid point, and I do think that this thread was created in "different" circumstances. However, I don't know if we got a single thread-worthy model to have snow from the time this thread was created to the time it ended. Maybe the fact that we have a thread is the reason we're talking about it?

I mean even if that's the case, why does it matter? We can talk about what we want.

Post away. Just never saw threads started much with so little support in the past. Just don't want to see everyone get so disappointed when nothing happens. I mean we haven't even had a single fantasy run. A couple EPS members with flurries and 1 GEFS member doesn't exactly scream potential even for that. Those storms in 2017 and 2018 had something this one doesn't, cold air.

I just don't get why anybody cares about the location of the posts. Its just ridiculously pedantic to me

You're right it doesn't matter, but I think Grump's point was, why is there a storm thread for something that had a low probability of producing something?

Exactly. I didn't mean to offend anyone. Sometimes I'm just too blunt and don't choose my wording carefully a lot of times. Lol
 
This was a long long shot in the beginning. 75% of the winter threads fail so it’s normal.
True! Even with model support. I remember having a 6 inch mean with like 35 members having snow on the EPS last year around 5-7 days out and the wheels fell off and I got nada. So naturally I'm not exited about 1 member showing flurries 4 days out. Lol

Yea nothing is set in stone past hr 2.

I've said this before but I really have no problem with threads for periods that look decently interesting most of our threats turn into rain anyway. Like you said they are good learning experiences and really reduce the clutter from the main monthly thread. For this situation in particular I don't think the expectation was ever for a board wide footer but more that the incoming northern stream energy and potential phase could give someone a little something
 
I'm snow starved! I moved to CAE, well Irmo just NW of it in August of 2013. Got 2 snows the winter of 13-14. About 3 inches in Jan and about 4 in Feb. Though hey this place won't be so bad. Boy was I wrong. Nothing else from then on. Moved back to a place that actually has a chance in May 2018 and got 6 inches Dec 2018. Thought yes sir let's go! Now here I sit with nothing since! So cut me some slack guys! I've seen one accumulating snow in 7 years!

Move
 
I did! A 10k a year raise and 3 extra weeks off a year got me out of CAE! And getting snow holed like that in the winter of 17-18 helped my decision. I'm actually in a good spot to get a good snow each year here. Not sure what the hell has happened since Dec 2018! Hopefully this year changes that.
