    Southeast Sanitarium - Winter 23/24 Edition

    in Southeastern States

    Posted

    Oh the weathermen say it'll be frightful, But the kids say so delightful, And as long as they say it's so,  It'll snow, it'll snow, it'll snow.  

    In the morning when it gets light, How I hate going out in the cold, But if the weathermen get it right, I'll get to stay home with the snow.  

    Now our hopes are slowly dying, All the models they were lying, As the thermometer is rising so, Where's the snow, where's the snow, where's the snow.

    The level of posting has consistently declined over the years here. Back in the old days, and the old forum, it seemed like we had scores of Mets posting and highly-capable amateur enthusiasts who provided substantive assessment.

    Unfortunately, now, as in society, we only hear from radicals at both ends of the spectrum — gloomists or weenies.

    Unfortunately, now, as in society, we only hear from those at both ends of the spectrum — gloomists or weenies. Mets and highly-capable amateur enthusiasts who provided substantive assessments that did not predict snow were told by these Johnny come lately's that they were morons and didn't know what they were talking about. One by one they stated that they would defer to these "experts", wished us well, and left the scene. Oh, BTW, these JCL's are still on the scene making their presence known. On the whole, the board appears to have adopted their philosophies in that rather than look at the models on the whole and knowing what recent climatology has become, they strain at a gnat to try to get the outcome they want when it comes to snow.

    In addition, the weather model experts have "improved" their statistically based products by refining them to look further in the future. They do this in an exercise to prove their theories in understanding weather prediction. It's like DNA in that the older you get, the more your DNA breaks down leading to aging and disease. In the case of weather, I believe that more and more assumptions and micro climate permutations accumulate that affect the computers' long term prognosis that the weather enthusiast patient is presented with a fatal diagnosis. At the same time, by focusing on the long term they break the short term accuracy of the models. The main fault of the models probably comes from them being based on long term statistical analysis of past weather events that with the recent changes in climate are no longer valid. How do they fix it? Beyond my pay grade to figure out. Who was it...JB... who always said "Enjoy the weather cause it's the only weather you've got. "

    You can tell it hasn't snowed in 2 years in here :lol:  

     

    Seriously though, there's a good signal as we head into spring. Will we get what we want? I sure hope so because ya'll will be fighting each other to be the first one over the cliff :cliff:

    Finally made it to South Dakota this week and yes I saw some old snow patches on the ground.  But I have also been working outside in a short sleeve shirt under some beautiful blue skies and a little pink on my face from the sun.  No cold in sight here either.  Maybe we'll have a March Miracle.  But Fab Feb is done before it ever got started.

    Years from now this will be the optimistic southeast weather peeps waiting for a substantial snow...

    At the same time, consider my former abode of West Seneca, NY for the last seven days. I think I'd prefer what we've gotten. Anything over a foot and a half was rough to deal with while living there in my teenage years.Screenshot_20240120_153130_Opera-01.thumb.jpeg.f5a1260496b2a906b67b73bf5c3f2996.jpeg
