Misc Cold Season Complaining

[Rain Cold]

I think it’s like anything else - you need to have the “want to” if you really want to learn. For me, it was the Plymouth State site for soundings and creating model maps plus a few others that had information. That isn’t even to mention reading every discussion from GSP. I also learned a lot from guys on the WWBB like Eric Thomas, Chris Justice, Allan Huffman, etc. It also helps that it doesn’t seem like anyone just stumbles into meteorology - it’s a passion so they are more than willing to share their knowledge.

Now, there’s so much information just readily available that I never had in the late 90s/early 00s. It is so much easier to learn that you just have to absolutely refuse to let anything sink in to remain ignorant.

I will never blame anybody for not grasping physics or thermodynamics or differential equations. But to never pick up basic concepts like upper level energy, the difference between ensembles and operational models, and the important of trends and biases vs point-in-time placement of features on model output is frustrating, particularly when you've been exposed to these ideas for 20 years on these forums.

Having no better skill or new things to say from 2 decades ago is kind of silly, tbh.

If this 1/2 deal has legs I may be forced to
chase it up into WNC with the kids. I’m not
letting them get blanked this year. Let’s sit on our hands and see how it evolves through the weekend

Don’t remember the last time we got a trough axis to not be too far east. Tired of this bs

I can gladly admit I'll never understand the physics or the thermodynamics of it all. If I could only be better at math.

I just cant wrap my head around someone who just wont have anything sink in. If you have a willingness to learn, you can at least match like an 090 level of knowledge.

IDK guys, I think the best part about this place is to be a sounding board for discontent and anger when someone doesn't get the weather they want. /s

 

[SASQUATCH]

The metwannabe special dinnerware is a nice touch too!

Sir, that's fine country china.

 

[Webberweather53]

Ahh yes another 300+ hr fantasy storm. This time for sure it’ll happen

 

[BullCityWx]

Alright who has the devils phone number so I can give them a call

At least we're getting fantasy storms, gotta start somewhere lol

Well atleast in the complaining thread. I’ll never understand people complaining about complaining in the complaining thread.

I think we had like 4 or 5 all of last Winter. lol

On the other hand, if people want to complain about others complaining, the complaining thread is the place to do it!

It's mostly because you're not understanding the context. The former comment was referring to the GEFS finally getting onboard with a colder pattern. And the latter comment was regarding the EPS trending less favorable for a storm signal.

Neither model is going to have the pattern exactly nailed in the 300+ range. But the signals are there on both suites now for a colder pattern.

And I'm seriously wondering why I typed any of that.

I know we need the colder pattern if we want snow, but seems like it's always cold and dry like the second post referenced.

I understand the difference. I was just commenting on how it is funny it went from a positive post to a negative one in such a short time period. It was more of a comment in regard to how hard it is to actually have everything come together positively for snow here.

Snow in the south? Hard to come by? I had no idea.
