SnowenOutThere

After some introspection....I can see what has happened and I feel awful and absolutely ashamed (not the first time). I admit I don't always know what to do with the angst, and this place became an echo chamber that I think I mistook for purely a venting space as opposed to a place where other people are actually looking for good analysis. All this time I'VE been part of the problem for why folks leave. I've been the mutee (ironically getting annoyed with others for being debs...lol). One thing becoming clear is I am indeed the one in the wrong. I'm becoming part of the negativity...and that's wrong.

I have no idea why I am the way I am on here...for some reason tracking snow on here brings out the absolute worst in me (probably not to do with any of you, though). I think what would be disappointment on one particular day or two of a missed storm is compounded by days of tracking before hand...increasing the mental investment and eventual "crash". And when you're already feeling crappy out it, then you come back on here and the negative emotions are reinforced in the echo chamber...compounding your own! An unhealthy cycle...

Now, am I still worried about future snow prospects? Yes (not sure I'll fully believe we can still get a legit hit of snow until we get it. Not the most logical, but that's where my brain is at right now)--However, because of this, I'm learning to enjoy and be grateful for what we do get. (Never had I been more excited for flurries than the other day...that's when I knew I was beginning to see things a little differently, lol)

All that to say...I am truly sorry for any damage I've done to the enjoyment of this forum. I will try to do better and be better.

Geez dude it’s ok it’s just an online weather form. We all have gone through looking like an idiot here. Some of my first posts are terrible and I am so sorry I have subjected people here to them. In the end this community has helped me communicate better with it and in general. The amount of development that my thoughts on weather and general online posting skills have increased so much thanks to this place. It’s the same for you, not to mention we all understand how it sucks to miss a storm so it’s okay to vent sometimes.

Finally got a snow and graupel shower today around seven, then followed it on our way to school. Had some decent rates at times and due to driving with it got to see snow for 20 minutes plus. 

Radar looks good.

I can't believe you didn't cut class to check. What's more important, after all?
New overcast deck blowing in here. Haven't seen any precip yet.

It was iffy but if there is a decent snow shower, might have to liberally use the bathroom pass and just walk around school for like 5 minutes.

Thought I might have seen something in-between classes but couldn't stop to look, so still have not seen first flakes.

Hope you’re right. At least the hrrr isn’t trending out way so far.

already this winter things aren't trending the right way within 24 hours.

Talk about cold air damming.

Hope you’re right, but I don’t trust the HRRR 2 hours in advance, much less at that range

Yeah just wanted it out there to show that there is some support for some snow Tuesday.

HRR looking good too, after missing the last chance for some flakes yesterday I hope I might see some Tuesday. 

FV3 for the win

Anyone from the northern crew seeing anything?

Looking on radar the clipper seems to look healthier and further south than most models have it currently. Hoping I get to see some first flakes tonight.

If we ended up with 20-30” region-wide by early January, I’d honestly be OK with punting the rest of the season. 

yep would almost guarantee white Christmas too.

Are you really thankful?...

Um yeah, I have a nice family, a roof over my head and friends. I mean that is a more than some people so I am thankful. 

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, now onto the holidays. Can’t wait for our 70 degree Christmas.

The  JB storms keep piling  up the snow. He  nailed  it  months ago

 

Are you joking or not? If not then dude please lay off the JB praising. It’s like if someone said each month of the hurricane season would be dead then they got one right guess out of 10 wrong ones.

Oh wait, I never mentioned that I made the high school swim team to anyone who cares. Have our first meet on the 3rd of December, the practices are fun if not difficult. Our coach does not like to give a lot of rest but the practice is only for an hour and 15 minutes. This is compared to my normal practice of 2 hours. Will tell you how the first meet goes. Think I am the fastest or second fastest freshmen on the team. 

Imagine the OBS thread for this as people wait for the rain snow line.

Euro looking less amped as the low is in the north central U.S. but goes south and has snow for the d.c area at 105.

Sent

Euro is further north but gets the snow line to D.C.

I’m just messing with ya  

But originally I did wonder  

I might be young but not that young. 

By the end of the month I just want to see some some flurries or a show shower. We have to remember that it is only November, that said it would be awesome if this clipper worked out for us.
