You know Wolfie, I actually was replying to torch tigers comment before and I decided to delete it. This is what they want. He wants to go back and forth with them because they know that their comments are bothering us. More than anything. I think it's just rude and childish, but we can't change that. The best bet is to just not reply to them at all with anything. The more we don't reply to any of their comments, the more I think they're realized that no one wants to hear. Onward and upward man

I don't think next week storm was supposed to be on the wintry side per se. Maybe at the end of it. But I think there's another system at the end of the week next week into the weekend that maybe more of a wintry scenario. I think from that point around the new year on is when we should see the changes happening. I myself am perfectly fine with keeping things on the calmer side for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day holiday. I have to travel to my sisters with my family. It's a big deal for our family and for a lot of friends that go to her house Christmas Eve. I'm still optimistic for some winter to hit our region after the new year. Not really too concerned either way

From what Kev said... Connecticut power outages were over 100k. ?

At this point I don't care if it's a screamer, just let it be a screamer with snow or ice or something wintry.

So as much as you are a crazy SOB for wanting all this, you're mostly right on this one. I think Connecticut got away with what could have been a lot worse as far as power outages, but just to our North in Massachusetts southeast Massachusetts and upward, they're dropping like flies.

They just talked about the wind gusts in Connecticut and the highest that they found so far was a 51 down in Southeast Connecticut. Although a gust 60 mph is still.possible in eastern Connecticut Just calls em as I sees em.

You are such an oddball lol As far as the wind gusts. They're not to where you had mentioned they were going to be, but I will admit they're very gusty. Limbs and trees coming down and places. However, if the winds were where you said they were going to be, we'd have a lot more power outages than we do. . But looking out my window at all the woods, it's pretty crazy watching the trees wait back and forth

Same here... Crazy.

Right.. I saw that too.

That be a site to see. Lol

I'm frustrated to man. The optimistic side of me is really hoping that things will turn around. I'm not blind to what the models are showing, and most people on here intelligent enough to know what's going on. The difference is, we're not sticking your heads in the sand like this ugly pattern doesn't exist, we're trying to find pieces in the long range that shows a change. I think we would all agree that it would really suck if we had a second year in a row with crappy winter weather. I'm definitely not trying to attack you or anyone else who are taking the long-range models for what they are at the moment. Just know that there's a lot of us that also know that they can change and they probably will. The question is when.

I think the main issue is the approach. Your approach is just nothing's happening and nothing's going to happen. Close the shades till the end of the winter. The point that several people are trying to make is that things probably will change in the way. The forecasts are over 2 weeks out. So your comments always come across as if it's done and it looks like it's going to be that way through the winter. If you had a different approach You probably wouldn't get the comment you're getting.

Kev.... Where do you come up with this S&$t??? Lol. Yes.. it will be an impactful storm. But schools closed..... Massive winds..... It's not a hurricane. And your comment about it being a warm Core system? You're like a kid who is waiting to see Santa and his reindeer come flying through the sky Christmas eve. Let's be done with this rain and wind and bring the Snow in so we can stop the insanity. ;-)

Is the one for Tuesday/Wednesday looking more Wintry?

Take all what way up?

Absolutely! And you damn well know that if it does happen that way that you'll be on the same bus and I will be forgotten. As far as December goes. C'mon on man. That's a silly question.

I seriously can't with Kev. I don't know where he comes up with these things. When he gets fixated on something, he takes it to the top. It's fine, it adds some comedy to the discussion. And yes, winter starts next week officially. I think we'd all would have liked to have seen a little snow on the ground for Christmas. But it doesn't end the winter if we don't. And that's a lot of what we've been seeing in these discussions. Thank God for you guys!

I agree. It seems like they just want to find the worst of the weather and drive it in with a screwdriver. At this point doing a white Christmas is probably not happening which is fine. But there is still January, February and even March of winter. Things can turn around and there can be many surprises. Thank God for the few and year that are willing to look ahead knowing that we have a long ways to go.

Nothing we can't handle...

Winters are cancelled for this area. Climate change now makes our area like Florida weather. No more snow for us. Forum is closed. Good bye all!

Not giving up, just not banking on or going to get frustrated if we don't see snow this month ( but I would love it ).

I'm thinking the best thing to do is just let December go. Stop thinking that we're going to get that white Christmas snow covered ground for the holiday. If it happens then great. For me. The end goal is that we really do change to a winter pattern as we head to January and then I can last for a few months. I guarantee you that if it does happen that way that all of this will be forgotten. Too many people put too much stock into December being a snowy month and it's just not climatologically that way ( at least not southern Eastern New England on South ).

I noticed that they've taken the temperatures down for Tuesday into the 30s for high is here in Connecticut. That's a change that wasn't in the forecast this morning.

Torch Tiger.... It's a joke silly! Surprised you give me the Weenie symbol..lol

A crippling Ice Storm
