  1. and you know we tip our hat to you Mr. Regtagger. Dont envy you guys, but do appreciate yas. Hell I just stuck up for WGAL as they are gettin trolled by asshats who are nothing short of clueless. Keyboard warriours are a dime a dozen, while clueless to what it takes to pin down a forecast. CTP just covered all bases for thurs/friday in their disco. Guessing they are a little gunshy after GFS led the way.
  2. well said. noone in here should be discouraged for sharing thoughts/feelings as long as they throw a modicum of reasoning behind it and dont troll with the "aint happening" crap. They know who they are. A lot of the fun here is being able to throw our thoughts into events and not have to deal w/ public/work/etc. Lewes delaware 23.4" and still snowing. oh so close. Chesco at 10" and still snowing.
  3. atta boy. Now it can bring some of the fun back into snow for you, even if we are winding down. Looks like we have 7-10 days of winter left, then springs gonna spring IMO. Ens guidance looking warm in east after first week of march. Tellies dont look horrid after first week of march, but as you know all too well....its takes a lot more anomalous looks to overcome spring starting to show up.
  4. Sorry to hear bud. You know your secrets are safe in here. You are correct, its a lose lose proposition, and I like you am our weather guy here at work. I'm just gonna say it....social media and some technologies/access to too much info is possibly a bigger problem than ever, because the answer to anything in life....is a few buttons away. Thats really dangerous. BTW, nice call :). Your call sat in my gut like a bad buritto, and while i didnt want to agree, i couldnt ignore it, as like you I've been around long enough to know climo and how the model tendencies etc often play out (and they did here). I set my bar at 8-12" because I thought we in norlanco were close enough to the goods, that we'd not be robbed of coastal influence enough to miss out. I knew on Saturday, that much of the day was looking like a waste, as thermals were marginal enough and w/o rates, we were screwed. Mesos showed that starting saturday afternoon. I'd be just like you. Sittin there by myself, to make your point, but they can pound sand movin forward (since you are in HR, you can find an eloquent way to say that...I'm in sales, so I'd not be so kind..). If they want to know the weather....I tell em all here at the office....."its up in the air"
  5. Yeah, I dont follow DT but am wondering why its crickets as we always hear abt his 2/3/final calls. lol
  6. He might have been right, but maybe for the wrong reasons. Just like last storm that "wasnt happening" as he touted (no 50/50 low i think was part of his blabberings for that one). We did really well for that NON storm. My biggest gripe is the chest puffin when some get it right when not owning up to when they were wrong. We were really close to a biggie here. Last minute (and expected by some of us - like models all too often due, was the rug puller for this chance. IVT did its thing and gave many CTP'rs enough to not feel jipped. This storm happened-and is still happening. We were on the edge and it shifted east enough for bust potential to be realized. Levittown 21" and still snowing. I'll take my 4" nws total and am ok w/ it, and not fret over what a model said could have been.
  7. that donut whole over my house on mesos from saturday was.......spot on. See what i did there?
  8. Eyeballing 3" at my house and maybe 4-5 at my sons in Ephrata. Sucks to be so close to something so big. It happens, onward...
  9. Shouldn’t have said anything. Lightened up now but still steady light snow.
  10. Nice. Yeah I’m goi g to stay up as long as I can. Beautiful out there. Enjoy.
  11. You and I both know betting against mesos is usually long odds. I knew we’d correct east but thought we were safe enough for my 12” bar to have a chance. 25 miles east of me may still get it. That’s not a big bust imo.
  12. I guess my liver thanks today’s events as I thought I’d be day drinking once things got going, but decided to wait till we flipped. I’m too old and smart to power drink to “catch up”, so I now have nice winter ambience on YouTube and just poured first cocktail. Time to enjoy.
  13. Funny thing is that despite what almost was…5” is a nice event no matter. I set my bar at 12”. I’m now adjusting down to 4-6”. I’ll take that any and every day no matter what the models said coulda happened.
  14. Ground just starting to cave here. Steady snow. Yay
  15. For those who can’t get enough of this sport….go look at nooner Euro. we ain’t done yet Blizz
  16. Congrats. Just flipped here. No stickage yet but hoping that changes soon. we have ground to cover….and fast.
  17. With all due respect you won’t find that answer here, so stop wasting your time. As you can see, This is a fun hobby for most of us. We get your frustration, but sharing it time and time again is old. If you enjoy weather then hang out and have fun sharing your thoughts and ideas. Otherwise…Just stop
  18. Some mesos started to show the Lanco donut hole last evening and my eyebrows raised as I knew mesos do quite a good job when in their wheelhouse. They were correct. we have flipped in Akron. Steady light snow.
  19. Who defended them? Gfs absolutely led the way. Others followed. Like it or not we are still 50 miles away from boomtown. As I’ve said to you before you like to see something on a models and expect it to happen. Most of us that have been doing this a long time know better and have said so. We don’t bash the models because we know there is more to it than modelwatching. You don’t get that…and we do. We also inderstand model tendencies and bias. You don’t. You want perfect. How bout you go away and I’ll let you know when we find perfect, or just listen and learn while injecting your thoughts as to why you knew they’d be wrong…
  20. I found the switch. Just need to hold it down. Flakage flip underway in Akron.
  21. Intensity picking up here. Just gotta find the switch so I can flip it. Hehe.
  22. We are trying to understand why you are here. You offer nothing but pessimism and everything you hate about models but offer little to the real discussion. For many of us this is fun even when jt doesn’t work out as per the best snowmap seen during the last couple days. We too are bummed but know better as this isn’t our first rodeo.
