I see another ban in your future.

Dumb Dumber

You really think either of them will be significantly better even in a year with tons of snow?

Took the kids to Blackwater Falls State Park Saturday then took Stephen Skiing at Liberty today. Nora went nuts when we made our first stop and she saw the snow... They had a blast playing in the snow and sledding. No idea what he is doing in the background Trail to the falls Falls were nice in the snow Riding the sled lift They had a nice fire for marshmallows Liberty today I’m exhausted

You probably aren’t intelligent enough to grasp this but it’s you who are being incredibly insensitive and disparaging towards the sacrifice of our volunteer servicemen and women. I didn’t make that false equivalency, you did in order to score a cheap point in your trolling. No one else brought that subject up. And no one else would have been belligerent enough to think anything said about weather predictions on this forum was remotely equivalent to any number of true life hardships involving life and death.

Thanks, yes still at Carver. I’m happy with my spot. Great admin and content lead and good team I’m a part of. I was offered an opportunity to be the social studies content lead for all the summer school sites. It will be a lot of work and responsibility but I’m excited. It can also open other doors. I’m very happy where I am now but having options in the future is never a bad thing. I didn’t think anyone really needed to hear that but he has made countless clone posts on that and ignoring them obviously wasnt working. I figured it must be getting old and time to cut that off. But he will no doubt find some other equally ignorant line of trolling.

Thanks foe your concern for my career but I just got a promotion so my superiors think I’m doing something right. People who actually pay attention probably have noticed there are some specific times of the day I don’t post much. But other than the rather small amount of time when I am delivering direct instruction or helping someone...and unless I suck at designing that lesson that should be limited since the best lessons are student centered, or several meetings a week, 90% of what I do is time flexible. They don’t care how/when I design a lesson, print copies, grade work, call parents, fill out IEP reports, write curriculum, complete attendance reports and the various other mostly independent tasks I get paid for. My summer position is less flexible but you don’t see me posting as much then. Not that you actually care but since you’ve wasted the boards time with this trope numerous times already I guess it’s worth cutting it off before you make 30 more useless posts on this topic.

I’m the one who took heat for saying it probably wasn’t going to snow much if at all months ago. Go troll someone else.

That was substantive

At least I’m actually good at my jobs.

The “models suck” crew thinks their “so smart” on the false premise that just because we discuss weather, which included the NWP guidance, that we “think it’s going to snow”. No one thinks that. No one is educating anyone. You’re all just being asses.

I knew things were bad when I woke up to back to back posts from centralvanats and Mersky.

@showmethesnow I just ignore him now. Worthless troll. And unlike some others he doesn’t even try to be creative or develop a shtick or vary his act. Ill argue with almost anyone but he isn’t worth it.

You might only need to go up 1000 ft now. Should have put your house on adjustable stilts.

Just think...2000 feet above your head it’s a blizzard right now. Just look up and dream.

It’s a difficult issue because knowing where it’s spread is useful. But the running minute by minute updates to the number is more spreading panic than informing imo. I am seeing it at work and with family who are reacting to every update even if it’s just “2 more people report positive”. That doesn’t really change the equation. Frankly this is likely widespread already we just don’t know it because of a lack of testing. It’s not so much the reporting itself that’s the issue as much as people misinterpreting the information. But I don’t know how you account for “stupid”. I just know I see people over reacting to these constant non stop “updates” that don’t really say anything that changes the equation imo. I will say this...during Super Tuesday coverage I did have the thought that “while this is a legit threat it’s abviouslt not a true emergency YET” because for 24 hours it totally disappeared for non stop political coverage. There was no break away coverage or hourly updates on the emergency...it just disappeared from the news when they had something else to talk about. I really hope the idiots on the other end of the spectrum who aren’t taking this seriously enough and think it’s some kind of contrived thing or conspiracy don’t use what I’m saying because I’m not there either. This is a real issue with the potential to get bad. I’m just seeing a lot of extreme reactions on both sides.

I’m not on the side that this is no big deal or no worse than the flu but I don’t think reporting every case is the best way to inform about the severity. We will know when it is “bad” when we see societal impacts. People actually severely ill. Spikes in hospitalizations and deaths. And that may come. But reporting that a few more people in the whole country tested positive every hour doesn’t tell us much we don’t alreasy know and spreads fear.

I’m not dismissing the possible severity of this but I do think hearing every time one person tests positive in a country of over 300 million isn’t helpful. This could get very bad but we don’t know and right now it’s not. But hearing every hour how one more person tested positive creates the illusion it is. I’m worried about this but some people are freaking out too much over the way it’s being covered.

We probably see flakes but I’m pessimistic on accumulations.

The inv trough looks to set up just to our east today. I’m becoming less optimistic about tonight. The faster phase and bomb off the coast is creating a more consolidated mid and upper level flow that Isn’t good. The subsidence outside the Ccb banding cuts off the moisture transport and the circulation around the bombing low interferes and hastens any banding left over from the dying primary and upper level system before it can rotate back into our area. These things are tricky so I’ll keep an eye on the banding but latest trends aren’t good imo.

Long range gfs has been a tease lately.

I think the coop they used there is right on the bay so it skews low.

I am not so sure we want to root for a quicker phased/bombing coastal. We are pretty close in to expect enough of a shift to benefit at all from that, but that would interfere with the moisture transport into the inverted trough which is our most likely way to score here. Maybe I am wrong and there is another January 2000 level bust incoming but short of that (and I am not sure how possible that kind of bust is anymore, despite Howard's posts guidance is SIGNIFICANTLY better now) our only chance is with the inverted trough and banding. A bombing low with a better closed circulation would cut off the moisture feed to that.

He didn't mention beer... that changes everything. Burn the whole neighborhood down for all I care as long as I have a cold beer in my hand.

Spring time these type setups can sometimes really pop with more moisture generally available. The trough feature is becoming more pronounced with some pretty healthy moisture convergence so it wouldn't shock me at all to see some pretty good banding set up. Problem is surface temps suck and antecedent conditions suck...so this will be a situation where it's all or nothing...places that get under a heavy convective band could see a quick thump of snow and a couple inches while a few miles away is getting light rain.
