I think quite a few will be happy wherever snow happens to fall, and quite a few will be disappointed wherever it doesn't.  It's as simple as that...

I know, they always told us in the 80s, it'll burn your cornea or retinas, the light that's not obscure, the outer ring, is way brighter than just the sun! I think it might be safe , with welding goggles!?

You can view a total eclipse with the naked eye. No special viewing apparatus needed. The stars will appear when it reaches totality. You should not look at any partial eclipse with the naked eye, so you might want a welding mask to watch as it approaches totality.

I've been quietly sitting here all week deleting posts and waiting for the predicted heavy snow to move NW to its usual location and give me my stationary chase. Well what do you know,  It happened again.:)  I'm guessing I will get 10" which is my benchmark for a good storm. I grew up in NW NJ and went to school in Boone so I haven't adopted the, "if the ground is covered its a major storm" mantra of the non mountain SE.  Doubt I ever will at this point. In any case, except for this once again falling at night making it harder to fully appreciate it should be fun. 

Also, when I post some obs later don't look for words like pounding, hammering, ripping or blasting.  Intermittent, light, medium and heavy is as far as I go. 

Good read all around, burns.  Thanks for sharing.

When I read GSP's AFD for winter storms they are always so giddy like they have never seen snow before. I thought about emailing the east coast headquarters in Maryland about their lack of professionalism. It's like a long children's book.

Whatevs. That was a fantastic read this morning. I appreciate the humanity and personality put into the AFD. You can tell the forecaster actually enjoys her job. In addition, there was nothing "unprofessional" in what she wrote. Her style may not have been your preference (though I can't fathom why you would take issue with someone who apparently shares our entire board's fondness for winter weather), but she broke no unwritten rules. Lighten up, Francis.

Not sure why we can't discuss why the upcoming pattern doesn't look good in the long range thread? That thread is only reserved for positive talk about winter weather I guess...

Not true. Your solid analysis is quite welcome there, burrel. Others' unfounded prognostications are not.

^Cute kid you have there, Shaggy.

So far, only 15% of the board are killsjoys when it comes to freezing rain.  The rest of us at least like a bit of it.  And over 60% of us are okay with the Armageddon scenario of no power for a week.  That's the adventurous spirit I was hoping to find here amongst my SE brethren. 

 

BTW, we need a freezing rain emoticon of some sort.

Wild weather is amazing no matter what type.  My preference for wintry type precipitation events go in this order:

 

snow > graupel > sleet > freezing rain > thunderstorms > rain

Awesome family, franklinwx!  Man, with four daughters, you're going to be spending quite a chunk of change on weddings at some point. 

It was.  Luckily, they took photos.

 

 

Aha!  The lack of a comma does make quite the difference.

 

By the way, in the pic, are those snow pea pods located about 4/5 of the way up the burger?

Congrats again, Burger.  You have a lovely bride.  I wish you many happy years of marriage.

Yes, thumbs up to Mr. Bob being green-tagged.  I'm sure you'll do the board proud.

It's a facebook picture that was already cropped? I really didn't wanna go back and find the original. Your being a little bit nit-picky don't you think?

Sorry, not trying to offend. It was supposed to be more of a joke that obviously fell flat. I recant.

Edit: I deleted my earlier post.

Weenie - This refers to someone prone to wild swings in emotion because of no lack of knowledge when it comes to weather. Weenies also often create totally baseless pseudo scientific reasons to back up their claims about future and present weather events.

I think you meant "...lack of knowledge..."

"No lack of knowledge" would be a double negative implying they do have this weather knowledge you speak of, upon which they base their opinions.
