ROOSTA

My highest weight was 260lbs. age-56. Forced to retire, neurological issues from a slipped disc, lowest point in my life. I had to retire because of inability to walk or commute to work. My parents passed, bookended Mom in Dec and Dad in January. So, I moved to FL to start over. One day I had a podiatrist tell me I had circulation issues. A sore, an ulcer on my big toe. Long story short version- triple by-pass, a dozen stints, developed neuropathy in both legs, clots everywhere. I lost 140lbs. I was skin and bones coming in at 120lbs. My last visit to the hospital was due to DVT. Talk about painful OMG. Doctors stated I was terminal and that I ran out of procedures, no more surgeries and that the clots are going to kill me. Here one minute gone the next. TMI I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS GET BURIED. I'll bet buried the other way... LOL

It's 83F with a dew of 72F

NEXT.... In search of an extreme event. I do believe that there is a big-one in the deck of cards this season. aka HECS, a triple phaser. These 6-12" tracking for days just don't seem to cut-it. I want to see a cross polar blocking pattern, massive trough negatively tilted, SJ, NJ, banana 1050 to the N much like Sandy or the Perfect Storm backs in and stalls. Hey, one can dream.

I left on the 01-12-15. If I only knew without a doubt would have stayed. First big snows hit a week later... No indication what-so-ever to what was going to happen. No idea that my health was going to fail either.

OT I didn't know where to post this. Many people here are under-educated in this field of science. A new year, this URL is for those who would like to learn. I hope this helps some. Glossary of Meteorology

The year I moved down here I missed the greatest stretch of SNE snowfall ever. I was so emotionally drained didn't even track any of it. ---- I would not give up on this yet. Only hope for a white xmas.

AGREE! I got to move...LOL

It's always the next run or the other model. The "fix" is never satisfied. It all a tease. Could get a 3-footer and still looking for the next.... If you want to OD move to AK or the Canadian Rockies.

No complaints here. I get NOTHING Now let's get this to carve out a hole in the atmosphere, let's say at about 40/70. LOL

Sure would like to see the OP models come around and show it. Give a day or two then maybe get excited. Slowly evolving into a coastal but not close to the ensembles YET. A great LR observation and analysis! It gonna snow... maybe.

CC should be on a timescale much greater than the mesoscale seasonal effect of IMBY. The snap to warmer, wetter, stronger, never seen severity without question is occurring. The balance or unbalancing is precariously close to that scale tipping. I have no idea of what I'm talking about... all I know is it's happening in realtime. Honest!

Just a little windy. I have a good feeling this snow season is going to be prolific. Pattern looks good i.e. locking in teleconnections in the N. Hemisphere. Best look in a long longtime.

Wild times ahead. Be safe y'all. 50/50 for a White Christmas.

When I first suggested Clarke's in Boston, must be over 15-20 years now. It was for members who worked in town, a spontaneous last-minute gathering to finally meet and celebrate the season. I know if I were still in New England the tradition would continue. My last outing before moving to Florida was a Clarke's gathering. The chasing Noel down the Cape...oh the memories.

The never-ending search for the next big one has commenced. A sniff here and sniff there. It stinks so far. Somebody with a good sense of smell needs to chime in!

For early December having this event hopefully portends good things to follow. Latest RTMA for SNE.

You all are going to know when the front approaches and passes. Mucho instability involved. Wish I was there for it. Some areas will experience 10 minutes or so of whiteout conditions. After passing the winds... Oh, boy fun times.

An overachiever. Last minute flags come true for once. I'm happy for all. Windex event sweeping across NY. Hopefully a sign henceforth...

I'm thinking maps should go into a separate thread. No two maps are the same. As much as I like posting them anything less than 6" IS Bull Crap. I'll wait till it's worthy of note as in over a foot. ***That's what she said***

This looks about right.

John, aka Tip I want to state something in that most posters in here don't have a clue, re: Scientific explanations nor take the time to learn. It's always going to be inexact; no forecast or reasoning will be correct. I'm grateful for your logical explanations teaching this old dog on every post. Numerous posters like yourself are appreciated (we know which posters to believe and which to totally ignore) To many good posters have left the forum please don't even think about it.

I was hoping to see a modeled Blizzard. D10 or closer. Not so much for New England but anywhere in the CONUS. Clippers just don't seem to cut it. I've always wanted to see some flurries IMBY, maybe this year...hoping anyway!

Seems as though elevation will be a major player as in most early/late season events. Soundings are critical if one wants to know what type and how much in YBY.

Just so you know, any snow is good snow. First flakes are magical. Now hoping trillions fall upon y'all.

For the month? YES Numerous (4 or more) threats will be tracked. Oh, grasshopper just look at the pattern through the trees.
