Scarlet Pimpernel

Right, and instead of 300+ hour ops GFS plots that look like crap, we get 72+ hour NAM plots that are the equivalent in the short range!!! Bring on the CRAS and (now defunct) DGEX!!!!

Damn, the Panic Room has really devolved, hasn't it?!?!

Yeah, we had done this before, but typically we had a "short range" or "threat" thread when there was something that was reasonably assessed to be quite likely to occur. I'd defer a "threat" thread until we actually really have something that shows up consistently. I don't exactly see that right now. Just my two copper coin's worth (not much!). Though, as @WinterWxLuvr mentioned above, I also recall that we did have a general "short range discussion" thread too, maybe the threat stuff was separate discussions once a real storm took shape. (ETA: Maybe it's been so long since we had a discrete real threat that I have forgotten, LOL!!!)

Red wine for the Reaper, eh?? Lots of left over wine barrels in the Panic Room!

I know, right?!?! Lots of chaff (BS?) to sift through in there to find any nuggets of useful information. If you're not bipolar before reading it, you'll definitely be by the time you're done! Or you'll at least suffer neck pain from whiplash.

Haha, I see what you did there! Mooooo!

But just make sure to wait for the shake!!

I believe Yogi Berra actually said that at some point though, even if it's not originally his? Of course, there's always his, "It's deja vu all over again!"

Oh no!!! Don't tell me Jeb is turning into a jumper...Jumpin' Jebman? So now instead of Jebwalks, we'll resort to Jebjumps???

Since when did a voice of reason ever stop that from happening???

Made me think of "Major League" with..."JUUUUST a bit outside!" (JUUUUST a slight delay!)!!

Well, @WxWatcher007 is officially retired so he won't be visiting anytime soon for the purpose of taking any souls that are crying out! Now, the Panic Room is BYOT...bring your own tombstone, and carve it yourself! I guess it keeps the overhead costs down.

Happy Christmas to you, and to all!! The Reaper is celebrating in style, I understand. Benefits of retirement, half-price Starbucks Holiday drinks to all skeletons over 500 years old!

"Very well, you may take the day. But be here all the earlier the next morning!"

Happy Christmas to all!!! A few photos for you that I took today...

Awww, man! Surf Univ! A very fine institution!!!

Good idea. Just remember...it's very bad to steal Jobu's rum. VERY bad!

While in college, thinking about "basic wave physics" 24/7 around finals time was a necessity!!!

I guess Santa's going to have a little extra in his cookies (brownies? gummies?) at your place when he stops by tonight!!

Ha! Kind of reminds me of Obi-Wan Kenobi's quote, "Who's the more foolish...the fool, or the fool who follows him?"

Amen! Thanks for the breath of sanity!!

So you have your own "Ji's" in there as well, eh??

Deb is definitely NOT a friend with benefits!!!

So, if you fit a block of several beers of the same type in there, do you get to drink them all at the same time and clear out space for more???

FYP, translated into Harry Potter-ese for ya! We're not supposed to actually say the name of that...event! But you're right, coming off that previous winter, and with Dec. 2010 being cold, I think a lot of expectations in here were off-kilter and unrealistic. Now, it's the opposite vibe. Several meh to lousy winters and the mood is total defeat, and if a butterfly farts and causes one cycle of an ops model to look slightly less good, it's a freak-out!
