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.

Storm mode would release the "hounds"
Yep. Even the sorry ass flea bitten ones we have in the SE would help a bit.

It's not being snotty,it's being aggravated. I've read every single post but don't always understand everything I'm reading. I can just as easily call you snotty for your reply to me. Newbies aren't willing to pay when they come here to learn and get their "Can you help me understand this a bit better" posts deleted.
I'm really too busy to deal with this now but you have been a member here for over 6 years. If you really wanted to learn you would already have done so. What you want is for someone to spoon feed you. Drop this now or my next response will include a time out.

Why do you always have to be so snotty? If you really wanted to learn you would have read the last few pages to get your answer......just sayin'
Don't you love it when they volunteer to be watched closely so a mistake isn't made?

Not sure why some are able to post things like "I sure hope for that NW trend" but when I post asking"What will make this trend nw? Does it all depend on the speed of the system" gets deleted.
Whatever. Anyways, can someone answer my question? I'm trying to learn.
We have deleted over 100 posts. That doesn't mean we got them all or didn't get some that should not have been.

ECMWF says who wants some cold rain for most people in the south. How crazy is it that the models are this far off this close in?
1Being as this is said at some point with almost every winter storm possibility, I would say it is more normal than crazy.

I miss a good old fashioned warm punch centered around 900mb, 2-3C will check expectations quickly for those fortunate enough.
For those of you that have trouble with weather terminology, in layman's terms that would be a punch to the nads.

I am hoping this storm can live up to bigly expectations and my kids will talk about it when they are j burns age.
It is not nice to pick on the elderly but I won't get mad. In fact, I'll even wish you a long and happy life. May the last thing you hear be the sound of my voice.

Thank you, that helped.
Let me tell you something else that will help. As a new poster asking if signatures can be turned off is better than attacking another poster. That goes for anything else that ruffles your delicate feathers.

But it's fun when we score a coup, every once in a blue moon!! With that many odds against us!
True but sometimes even if a coup is scored it isn't nearly enough to live up to the hype. As evidence, I offer this little gem from the "serious" thread. It was posted as the 12Z GFS rolled in. The poster shall remain nameless.
"Complete destruction at 132-138 as low explodes off the CHS coast and rides north northeast. WOW!"
Now correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't this mean that if there is a single building or piece of infrastructure remaining it is a bust low. In other words, Armageddon or Bust!!

I wonder who this guy is talking about. Can't be anyone in this thread.
Southern weather weenies continue to post maps of the GFS showing a big snow and ice storm for Dixie. It's funny though, I have yet to see them post or even talk much about the ECMWF (sometimes mistakenly called the Euro). Why is that? It's because the ECMWF has been consistently dry and cold for the South. Boring! Nobody wants to see that! LOL However, wishcasters hate it that statistics show the ECMWF is a more accurate medium range model than the GFS. So, my friends, we continue to have a bit of a pickle when it comes to snow and Ice chances across MS, AL, GA, TN, NC and SC this Friday and Saturday. This is nearly an impossible pattern to forecast more than three days out. The shortwaves in the northern and southern stream are moving very fast. The ones that the GFS shows phasing somewhat and bringing a storm aren't even being sampled yet with actual real instruments. At this point it is all guesswork on the part of the forecast models, and humans. No one knows. Like I said yesterday, I will not even think about honking about a winter storm or calling it dead until Wednesday at the earliest and probably not even until Thursday. At this point what you need to know is there is a chance of anything from sunny, dry and cold weather Friday and Saturday, to major snow and ice. Just remain weather-aware and keep up on the latest, especially after about Wednesday when we will have a better handle on the situation.

Sorry, lurker non-met and I usually keep my posts to a minimum. However, tonight's posts are more cryptic than usual but tone seems pretty negative. Did we lose the storm for now?
(Figured this would be okay in cliff diver thread.)

The concern is having to stay here in NC and teach instead of being able to keep my plans in FL. Living in Archdale, you know they will close school around here (rightfully so because of buses) and we won't even see a flake. If we miss school, i want it to be huge not just the possibility of an ice pellet or two falling.
lol Reread it. It was a joke. I did the public education thing for 34 years. Yeah, I know.

My legit fear about snow (even though I like seeing it fall) is that making up snow days impacts my already planned and in many cases prepaid vacations. I have a trip planned for heading your way (Jville FL) where I am leaving on Easter Sunday. If we miss days of school due to snow, there is a possibility that I get screwed.
Unlike a Florida vacation where you never score?
-
Let's clear something up. Many of you wanted the negativity removed from the model threads so we started this one. It will not work if every time a model run shows a possibility of snow people from the model thread run into here to gloat and troll the folks that have been posting in this thread. I have just deleted several posts that were posted in the past several hours. I don't want to have to continue doing so. The separation is what you wanted, you've got it and I will enforce it.

He's on another board. I also just registered and am posting on that board.People were way too fast to run away webber on this board, lots of insight and he's going to be one of the most recognized distinguished mets of his time - that's a fact. I can't imagine where he will end up in 20 years...probably some climate forecaster with a million twitter followers. Ha.
2My guess. The second word of this thread's title.

The hell with all of you. You all talk nice but when it comes down to doing something you’re nowhere to be found. The hell with you! 7” of snow, temps last night in the single digits with zero possible tonight and nothing, Not a peep. Selfish ***holes.
Have you learned anything about winter weather procedures? I don’t think so. Don’t try and tell me you didn’t know, it is on TV multiple times every year. You just ignored it and left a sick fragile old man alone as the snow piled up and temps plummeted. The hell with all of you. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY. Is that so freaking hard to do? I could have died. Selfish ***holes.
