  1. We are not the most active region at times, not do to forum members, but do to the WEATHER.  40's and clear for the next couple weeks.

     

    What exactly do people think we should be posting about that is weather related?  We can have a bunch of dream threads like NY that never pan out, or we can do what we do...when there is an active threat, the forum comes alive.  How is that a bad thing?

    For banter, there are other parts of this site.  For Philly area specific WEATHER, this forum has been a godsend to many people (snow plowing and general work related...and school related if you count that one kid).  Many of us browse this forum, and if there is an NYC merger, I guarantee those frequent members that browse are leaving the site for good.  There is absolutely ZERO advantage to a merger, but the advantages of a Philly specific forum are countless.  We don't have to sort through ridiculous threads, we don't have a million trolls, and we have our own weather.  If the Philly specific forum gets boring, you can look at the weather in the NY forum, or any other forum.

     

    ^You nailed it and I didn't have to type...seriously.

  2. Again, I don't understand why those who spend most of their time at Tom and Adam's site feel the need to come in here and tell those of us who remain that we need to merge with the NYC forum? Why do you care what goes on here if you've essentially left/choose not to participate here?

     

    I wish more mets like Tony, Mike, Ray and Mitch posted here. But they choose not to. I don't know why? This forum has never had a reputation of attacking red taggers the way other others do.

     

    And I'm not trying to turn this into an "our forum vs Tom and Adam's" thing. I lurk there. I just choose to spend more time here and post here instead. So again, what's the issue?

     

    Can I please have the link....just want to check it out.

  3. I'm all for keeping them separate...but isn't it weird how quiet it got? I get that people left with tombo...but his board isn't exactly hopping either.

     

    I think it's many people thought, "I'm sick of following storms which never seem to pan out, no sleep and I should be doing something else, more productive".

     

    Unless weather is your livelihood, people just took a step back.

  4. Seriously, why do we have to merge any subforums? Things seem to be purring right along.

     

    Forkys suggestion (as it use to be) to merge everyone and call it Northeast would be a nightmare after having subforums. A bunch of IMBY's..."it's a hit"...."it missed"...N..S..E..W. Everyone would be confused and have to sort through countless pages of BS only to realize I wasted my time.

  5. why are ny people so invested in merging with philly? It would be like cats and dogs living together...mass hysteria, pretty much...what I'm saying is we're good...

     

    ^Yep, exactly.

     

    Things are cool here. We don't any drama....bickering. Having a crappy winter so far doesn't help out post count/attendance. Sometimes simple is better...leave it be.

  6. Hurricane releases his winter outlook tomorrow night. Let's hope Glenn makes us happy!

     

    At best I see him going near avg in temps/snow. But probably below in snow totals and above in temps. In Philly, something like:

     

    Snow: 15"-20"

    Temps: +2 for the winter

     

    Just a guess, who knows...

  7. Steve D is insufferable and predictable. He is always on the cold/snow side of things, and when models trend against him, he "takes a break" or "takes a nap" for a cycle so he can see if things came back into his favor. Now today he needs a reason to go missing for a but because he is still forecasting a more wintry scenario, so he tweets that he is "receiving violent threats" and needs to protect his family. So dramatic.

     

    Bingo. Not a big Steve D fan at all...I don't even pay attention.

  8. It won't necessarily be a "blowtorch", but the overall temps are still likely to be at least a bit above normal for the next two weeks.

     

    Yep, my thoughts. Overall not a torch but warm enough that winter is on the back burner for a bit. Many 40's highs w/occasionally some 50+ temps...
