    Well, I already said why I'm big snow hunting this year in particular...but after my Tuesday debacle, I'm pretty sure nobody wants me to re-litigate that. Now, please don't misunderstand me...this doesn't mean I don't appreciate a 6-10" event. That'd be good!! And I've mentioned on more than one occasion that I've learned recently to enjoy even the small ones (especially in Ninas where that's all you can muster) However, THIS year...when you have a shot, AND it's been this long without a big dog, why not root for it?

    Since we're between model cycles, the part of my brain that, for whatever reason attaches meaning to dates and such just can't get past this list...Top 25 snowstorms in Baltimore and not a one the last week of Feb...Even 2010 missed that week! Have an illogical distrust of it... Side note: All the ones I marked happened on PD weekend that year...just sayin' (although 2014 was technically Thurs-Fri)

    While He doesn't HAVE to do it, I'd sure love it if He did And hey listen, while I'd certainly take a big snow whatever day of the week...but man, how can ya not at least imagine that? I mean you've got ingredients...and it's a Niño that's not a torch, a strong stj wave coming up PD weekend, blocking...theoretically it feels like it's the closest setup we've had for a PD3 since. But hey, maybe I'm being to snow-romantic
  4. Maestrobjwa
    Lol Hey don't get me wrong, I'll take a big snow any day of the week...I just illogically don't trust stuff to go right after PD-March 1st....at least for a big storm (12"+) anyway. No changing that part of me brain until it actually happens
  5. Maestrobjwa
    Ohh okay. Yeah he talked about the wave slowing down and catching up to the ns which is why I thought he was talking about PD period. Man I like that one better...besides it's a Nino and PD weekend
  6. Maestrobjwa
    Wait I thought he was referring to the PD period?
  7. Maestrobjwa
    The past couple years since that upgrade (what was that, 2022?) the GFS has been king...of the bizarre.
  8. Maestrobjwa
    Yeeeah sorting this out might take a bit...we won't know anything about this until...next Thursday By then we'll either be preparing to by PD3 stuff or trying to track the PSU storm!
  9. Maestrobjwa
    Yeah who knows. I mean, it would still be an on going investigation, so it's not like they'd be obligated to disclose anything, right?

    Is there no end to our bad luck at receiver? Haven't we been through enough? If this is true this would be the peak of it all...By far the most talented we've ever drafted...and yet this might happen? You've got to be kidding me, smh
  11. Maestrobjwa
    Screw it I'm rooting for the phased bomb to get a shot at PD3...come on NS! Actually at the end of the 12z Euro those potential NS waves are still around (this time we actually want one of those, haha)
  12. Maestrobjwa
    This needs to be on the emoji board here! Mods, make it happen
  13. Maestrobjwa
    Eh...hard to tell. Thought the wave was less squashed than 0z, at least.
  14. Maestrobjwa
    Bro I coulda sworn you were like 10 years older than me, lolol But instead I'm older by 10 months...for some odd reason I never looked at your page!
  15. Maestrobjwa
    Euro looked like it was trying to load up at the end of it (ah c'mon one more frame ) You know, even for fantasy range, guidance has been rather consistent in developing a juicy wave in the ss. Other details have jumped around, of course, but that thing has been on all the gfs fantasy runs the last several days...and now it's popped up on the Euro the last couple runs. With things being less suppressive like @psuhoffman said becomes a trendN uh...hm? (Only one m so as not to copyright infringe Bob Chill)

    Niiiice!! Man there is nothing like learning about your family history. It is truly an adventure...and you never know what you'll find (for better or worse, lol) I hope you are successful in finding your birth parents!

    Thank you for the taking the time to write that. While I'm a bit ashamed to have to even get advice like this in the first place (kicking myself a bit for not being better), I appreciate the response. I hear you on the posting. But you know...I found last year that I actually just have to spend less time on this site when things are rough in the snow department. When I did that last February, it started to feel better. I didn't obsess over it as much, and it opened up space in my brain for other things. This year, I installed a site blocker app to not even let me on here at certain times. (I'll admit I've cheated a few times...like yesterday, lol). You're right about the warming. I've been coming to a place of accepting things may be declining in our snow climo...I think that ended up fueling the obsession this year and inevitably led to my ill-advised post yesterday. That was me being realistic about where we might be, but also maybe too pessimistic/looking too far ahead. I think the less brain space I give it when things are rough (or just in general), the better it's gonna feel. Yes the suckage is always gonna be disappointing, but hopefully giving it less space lessens the blow...and overtime I'll adjust better. (It sounds like we have a similar brain in our snow obsession!) Hobbies...While I admittedly don't have too many, music is my passion, profession, and hobby So it's basically my life--but even with that...tbh, I need to spend even more time making music. Now as far as one thing I didn't realize was a hobby: I am way into family history--that is an addiction that can be rewarding (except when you hit brick walls!). Videogames are somewhat a hobby as well (though I don't spend as many hours). As far as chasing...yeah definitely don't have a ton of means to do that. However, if we don't get more snow soon I may find a group to go skiing with! I'm skeptical about getting on skis, but I'd certainly enjoy the atmosphere Anyway, all that to say...thanks again for the encouraging response. I think it's helpful for us to talk about the mental side of what we do/track here. Appreciate it!

    I think @psuhoffman mentioned earlier that we're gonna need a full phase in order for it to work, and that the stj can't do it alone to break through the suppressive flow. And as we see even in this fantasy run...nice juicy wave (so. Much. Juice)...south! Even though it's a fantasy run that still hurts the feelings, lol Although it appeared to be a little closer to phasing this time...or I could be looking at it wrong. Not worth detailed analysis at this range anyway.

    To my amateur eyes, 0z held the energy back for longer. Perhaps that allowed more confluence to build in first before the precip got there?
  20. Maestrobjwa
    Bob Chill adds "hmm" to the vocabulary list next to folks
  21. Maestrobjwa
    Believe it or not I actually wasn't sure about how chances tend to work heading into a block (hey maybe I can see a real time example in about 12-15 days )
  22. Maestrobjwa
    Mice are frustratingly intelligent, resourceful creatures It never ceased to amaze (and frustrate) me! Dang things even have different tastes in food
  23. Maestrobjwa
    That's also what I was wondering. I mean...would we want a slightly weaker block to avoid potential suppression?
  24. Maestrobjwa
    Feeling everything: Great for music, no so good for places like here
  25. Maestrobjwa
    Thank you for your input. And yeah I mean...I've felt the need to redeem myself for bad posts the last several years I've been here. And yeah I do get too defensive like you and @CAPE said. I'm a naturally sensitive person who feels everything--and that includes everything said to me (often focusing on the negative said), and I feel the need to "make it right". When I see 20 likes/thank yous on something said against me it feels like an indictment on me as a person, and I gotta defend it. But that's not helpful...maybe not reacting at all is still better even if it has me fuming for a minute. Right now I'd be ashamed to meet most of you in person, knowing my shortcomings on here and how I'd be seen. And you're right...that's probably why some of my posts come off as looking for acceptance--as I feel the need to make up for one thing and end up slipping into another mistake. As for why mention next winter...I don't know why I did again. I think that's just what I've been thinking in my subconscious about next winter, and it's kinda informed how I've viewed this winter...and it just leaked out. But I'm gonna aim to not fear post anymore. Like don't communicate any fears in the main thread...never ends well! I'm trying to be better on here, y'all...I'm not there yet
