Wunderground bumped me up to almost 3. So maybe this is slightly amping

Look at this fucker saying this while insulting mets and salary shaming

AI products are presenting un-good continuity from what I've just analyzed spanning their last 6 cycles. why any use and or judgements are formulated out of those tools, for the time being, is a mystery to me. Oh pleezy weezie, with sugar on top

lol thanks for the laughs this morning

Im headed to the cabin snowmobiling tonight. Guess I dont have to worry about trail conditions deteriorating....lol Sounds BRIISSSKKKK

I learned from @mappy and @H2O

Beautiful snowfall outside right now. Such a lovely surprise that I did not expect to continue for this long.

dude i am a social scientist and make 7 to 8 figures per millisecond. i know nothing about meteorology. when i first joined i made idiotic posts and was rightly ridiculed. as i have tried to learn, people who know more have been receptive and responsive to my posts. try not making dumb posts?

oh shit

Pushing the line, but at least it’s not the other one.

I stand by what I said- I think people here absolutely look down on those whom they consider to have less meteorology knowledge than them. They belittle and bully. All I was doing was bringing some of you back down to earth. I do this as a boss in my job too. It’s crucial to keep people even keeled. as far as me being unstable I dunno last few posts tend to indicate you all are probably more unstable except psu. I was just saying a simple fact.

As a Utility worker i dont look forward to Saturday at all lol

I'm sure it's been made before, but your sports analogy is brilliant. In '86 growing up in CT I was 15 and watched or listened to every Red Sox game that year, only to watch the ball go through Buckner's legs just like a low up the OH valley or a GL low appearing out of nowhere in the last 36 hours. I still enjoy sports but I don't care anymore and don't follow. I still care a lot about snow.

So something happened this week that I need to put in writing I am so mad. So the oldest Ms. J is in her last semester. And is looking everyday and applying for jobs in this shitty market. Fast forward this week, Monday to be exact. She finally gets an interview for an internship. But on the same day she got contacted for another job that would be exactly what she would like to have. Local DC communications company, would be remote and good benefits and pay. With all the jobs she has replied to lately she did not remember applying to this one. An interview is set up over Microsoft Teams. It is one of those interviews where you are sent questions and then you have to record yourself with a 1 minute answer. Weird but I have seen interviews like these used to narrow down candidates. She is told that she would hear something back the following day. She gets contacted again through Microsoft Teams and asked if she is available to talk over the phone at a certain time on Tuesday. Let me just say here that Mr. J was already kind of surprised that someone who would be fresh out of school would even be considered for this job but we are all kind of caught up in the excitement. Anyways she lets us know she is offered the job and with an after graduation start date. Perfect right?? Well that is where the red flags started to pop up. She had class into the night and then one of her club meetings after so we had not had the time to talk with her. She asked should she cancel the interview for the internship and Mr. J said until you have a signed contract no. So we asked her about the contract. 2 pages, only 2 pages and what was on those 2 pages made the Spidy sense of Mr. J go off. He started digging. Mind you Ms. J had already checked into the name of the person who originally sent the first contact. He was an employee. But the person who called her was someone calling from an AZ phone number and had a thick accent. And his email to send the “contract” to ended not with a .com. In said “contract” it listed the job posting again and all the benefits, which mind you was what was exactly on the companies website. The second page was asking for proof of rent, ID, SS, passport and bank info for “direct deposit” At the bottom was a line for the start date and it was left blank even though she had given a start date. She was to fill out the paperwork and send it back by the end of business on Wednesday. We told her to send us what she had gotten and started to try to connect the dots. Told her to hold off sending anything until we dug a bit more. As a victim of ID theft back in the day I started to get that sick feeling in my gut. She was contacted one more time Tuesday evening saying that she can send the info that night. She did not even have anything printed out and replied she would the next day. Between that and the digging that Mr. J was doing we told her to not send anything at all. That is was looking more and more like a phishing scheme that we had never seen before. What set off his concern was the salary that was being given to someone with her qualifications. Mr. J immediately found an email to the company that was being spoofed asking if in fact she had been given a job offer. We have yet to hear back from them but were 100% sure that she should not send off any sensitive information. You guys… this world sucks! This kid has been busting her ass to not only finish college but has been stressing over not being a burden on us. Which she will never be and was told as such. She is working 2 jobs and making contacts. And wants a job she wants to be self sufficient. I feel absolutely gutted for her. She still has her interview for the internship but after what just happened she went back in to check if she even applied for this. And cross reference the contact with the actual company. This one checks out and will actually be a face to face interview. She will now be keeping a spread sheet of what she applies for on top of the email trail. We are glad that she still feels close enough to us to keep us in the loop. Because had she not this could have ended very badly. Sorry for this being so long but I needed to put my thoughts out in words with people not connected directly. Everyone enjoy this sunny day.

The cmc progression is likely the best hope for a snowstorm here. Like I mentioned in my last post it split off a lead wave which helped reinforce cold air before the main wave eventually came east. The 6z gfs wasn’t too far off from showing that as well. See gif below This is probably the best progression to root for.

Its been a while since we had to be concerned with ice jams but depending on how all of this thaws, this could be the year ice jams are an issue. Low of -2 this morning, making 8 below zero readings this season, my average is 3. This season is solidy in third for below zero lows IMBY, 2013-2014 had 11 and 2014-2015 had 15, my records here go back to 2005-2006. 12" at the stake.

Not really familiar about that area but that should be a great spot for this upcoming event.

https://catalog.wilkes.edu//preview_program.php?catoid=13&poid=1774 this is where Mark Margavage went to become a "meteorologist". The curriculum only contains calculus 1, 1 synoptic meteorology class and a bunch of other basic courses. Not even close to the requirements for a real meteorology degree. I have a bone to pick with people stealing credentials that are earned and not given. Have you seen his FB page? It reads like a high school weather weenie.

Looks like I'll be a lurker now. See y'all in March!

Snow showers continue in the foothills and Triad. Reports of bad road conditions continue

Updated the LR thread title to reflect posting requirements

Or….
