  1. ..And don't be drilling it with the .22 .45 or larger. Preferably incendiary rounds out of a large caliber rifle.
  2. I did a poor job articulating my point. What it comes down to is the fact that they are a tax-payer funded organization. Id rather not see humor mixed within their social media posts, particularly when the vast majority of citizens cannot differentiate between humor and advisories. Simply my opinion. I'm wrong a lot. I guess I'm aging myself, but I'm a bit of a traditionalist, and miss the days of straight-forward relay of information from professionals (particularly tax payer funded agencies.)
  3. I hear ya. I'm not trying to be a Debby downer. I get the humor as well. But the mere fact that you and I are participating on a weather forum would suggest we are able to interpret the post as humor. The issue, is that the image may (will) be shared and then poorly interpreted by those who are unaware. This has consequences .... (most which I find the humor in as well. ...and lead to even better memes.) I'm the last person that you'll ever hear arguing for censorship. They can post whatever they wish. However, as a government organization, it would be prudent for them to find a more responsible way of messaging. Just my opinion. We live in a slightly dumbed-down world. Sadly, social media is more harmful than beneficial, despite the laughs that come from it.
  4. Bingo. Inappropriate post. The risks aren't worth the possibility of gaining followers through perceived humor (even if intentions were there.) Bad move on individual/s responsible for social media.
  5. Government agencies have been using different mediums of media for decades now, unfortunately. Sadly, NWS has decided (or someone else decided for them in leadership,) that it is worth doing. Facts. It's a societal issue.
  6. I have regrets in life, but my home and location are not on the list. Ive redone my home to where it is exactly what I dreamt of, but there's always more work to be done. The history here on the actual Bayfront is second to none in the state, and I'm able to walk outside on two levels of my home and look at my "bay-yard." All of that aside, I should have done a complete gut of the interior secondary walls when I decided to remodel early on. Financially, that wasn't in the cards earlier in life. And now, I'm perfectly content to burn extra wood or pay for some extra NG. If you're lucky enough to live on the water, you're lucky enough... If you're lucky enough to "work" on the water 300+ days a year, you're living in heaven on earth. Bring on the next Nor'easter... nothing like watching storms from here.
  7. Its gonna be an 8-10 cords of wood winter if this persists. It's the damn wind with the chill and poor insulation that is killing me.
  8. Patience. We will get ONE Just be glad you got to experience the 2010s
  9. Is there a publicly available site where I can obtain raw data and data sets (organized in a format which I can import into my own xlsx files?)
  10. Is there a simplistic approach to understanding temporal and spacial import of data into specific models? I'm still trying to understand the basis for which models weigh current data sampling against past analogs. I've finally had time over the past weeks to dive into the history of different models, but have been rather unsuccessful with my efforts to find a thorough explanation of modern updates. If anyone has any literature that the layman can understand clearly, I'd be grateful for resources. I have a formal education in oceanography, so I'm not scientifically illiterate, but I'm having a hard time drawing certain connections.
  11. And on the 8th day.. he said...."Let there be a HECS of biblical proportions for all of the weenies across the lands.. "
  12. I'm gonna put my shooting muffs over the top of my noise canceling earbuds tonight, because the weenies are going to be screaming "hallelujah" at the top of their lungs come 0z runs.
  13. I think I'll wear my airpods toggled to noise cancelation mode as I sleep tonight. If the 0z runs all mimic the GFS, the chorus of NY weenies will be absolutely deafening.
  14. Normally during REM sleep, most often after 8 or 9 strong cocktails the prior evening.
  15. Unfortunately only have two hands. Still have to wade out about a quarter mile.
  16. Im rooting for ya, but it's looking like yall will be lucky to see a dusting up that way. Hopefully one of the next two storms.
  17. Backup plan has been established, since I called the hunting off. We have incredible blow-out tides right now after the past few days of strong west flow. I think a clamming session may be in order during the snow.
  18. Oooofff... atmosphere really doesn't want to get going. Still just the lightest of flurries. Wanted to wait for it to get going before taking my dog for a walk, but it's taking its sweet time.
  19. And the first flakes are officially flying. 0609
  20. It's a win. Always enjoyable learning from the Mets on here with any potential event 5-7 days out. I like to compare to my weather logs from the past 3 decades working on the water. Snow is always a bonus during the two months a year when I'm hunting and relaxing instead of working 24/7.
  21. Yea, I'm not so sure about that. I'm expecting about 1.5 down here. I don't think the 3 inch line will get much further north than a line from Wilmington, DE to Ocean City, NJ. Just doesn't have enough energy to work with.
  22. Lets see how the radar holds up. Not expecting more than a 4-5 hour duration event here on barnegat bay, but will enjoy the nowcasting. Watching where the potential band just south of the subsidence sets up should be fun. Now snowing lightly in Hammonton and Batsto and rapidly filling in NE.
