The "Double Trouble" Banter Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to Windspeed's topic in Tropical Headquarters
I don't think some brains here are separating the digital reality to the physical on here...sweet mercy above. 150mph...155...tiny little digital things that don't make a bit of difference with the reality of the storm! -
Translation?

Spring/Summer 2020 Banter/Complaint Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Perfect, lol -
@psuhoffman And also when you have some time...could you run through exactly what factors made 1995-96 do what it did?
-
Ya know...as we were going through the doldrums of last winter...I always wondered what's worse: A winter like last year that torches the entire time, or a la nina winter like that one that can break ya heart with the "we're too far southwest" close misses. I don't know man...I'm tempted to pick the torch, because I get nearby snow envy...but at least la ninas can still be cold sometimes (and scenery snow isn't completely out of the equation)
-
How can a forecast be for warmer than last winter? Lol

2020 Mid-Atlantic Severe Weather - General Thread
Maestrobjwa replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Well if they're nothing to get excited about, why the heck would they be called "WOO!!!!" storms? -
I'm not advocating that we do differently...just pointing out the exception that's all
-
I'd say the one area of college that would feel the most impact of virtual vs in-person is the performing arts--i.e. music and theater majors. I majored in music--and I can imagine not being able to have private lessons, ensembles, and performances (particularly the degree recitals required) must be a pain. Zoom can only get ya so far in that! Lol
-
Sweet mercy dude...I must inform ya that emetophobia is a real thing...how do I block this GIF? Lol
-
Just out of curiosity...what would be that threshold?
-
Not that many times, actually...only last year iirc--because we didn't start having the extended low solar until then. So technically...I'd imagine that still has one more winter to have an effect before we declare that broken as well, lol (and by comparison, we might have more successful examples of low solar working than Siberia!). For me...the last three solar minimums producing warrants one more chance...
-
Man I didn't even know that could happen there, lol (of course I'm just an amateur hobbyist when it comes to this stuff!)
-
Besides...we don't have to look too far back to see that: just look how 2017 turned on a dime! Here we are looking up at the eclipse...and the next thing you know (like literally starting the next week)...Harvey, Irma.....eventually Maria, and others! I don't even know much about how stuff happens in the tropics...but that year was enough to convince me about how quickly things can change!
-
Since apparently it's mandatory to always factor in the fact that it's 2020...bet on this happening at least once between now and late August, lol
-
Oh dang you were that close?? Glad your house didn't sustain any damage! Man this has "dilapidated city infrastructure" written all over it, smh
-
And you'd be somewhere between troll and objective. And people react differently, dude...I call it snow loving. Hysterical is a feminizing term, tbh
-
After last year I kinda gave up on that...lol I guess a tiny piece of me hopes the solar min will save something...but that's about the last "WDI" thing for me. As somebody said, we hit bottom solar earlier this year, and from here it only goes back up...so that...combined with the fact that swe saw no apparent positive effect from the low solar last year, I'd imagine this winter would be the last chance to see it. If we don't, then that "effect" might be broken like everything else seems to be, lol
-
Is that always true, though? Still think that depends on the larger factors like ENSO and NAO and such. What bothers me is...if this becomes a new reality, we may have to rely on even MORE flukes than before!
-
Ohhh I see it alright....but as I said, it's bad enough to have the bad data in front of us. I don't get how poking fun of it and pretending to enjoy things going bad even more ain't salt in the wound. We could be looking at the prospect of losing something in life we've all enjoyed (or at least seeing even less of it than before). So yeah, maybe I am a little reactive to it--but it sucks, plain and simple--no matter how low you set your expectations.
-
Well, am I wrong?
-
I was just wondering the same thing earlier today...Why does it feel like the Super Niño just flat-out broke things? Nothing has behaved right since!
-
There's a difference between being in touch with reality than acting practically giddy when things don't turn out well. That's why I'm wondering if you enjoyed snow in the first place. I don't think anybody's expectations are high by any means right now...so what's the point in pouring the salt in?
-
Hey look, if it's gonna be true, at least we have plenty of time to grieve the bad winter before it actually gets here. Hopefully by then we can be numb to it. But really, I don't know if the lowest of low expectations would make the potential suckage any less depressing. It's like losing something in life you once enjoyed--you expect it isn't coming, but you still miss it all the same.
-
Yeah @CAPE seriously...it's like you love putting salt in the wound, lol I'm wondering...do you not like snow, or do you love to troll?
