frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 People who don't base everything on their backyards. I find it hard to get hyped about major tornado outbreaks east of the Mississippi or Cat 4-5 hurricanes smashing the coastline. They're exciting and all but they also turn your life upside down if they do occur in your own backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Point taken, but that doesn't mean they need to be jerk-offs to the ones that don't. when you post a jerk off response to me first you will get one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Pop quiz: What's the difference between snow that just fell or snow that fell 3 days earlier? Answer: Nothing. Snowcover> all Pretty sure I don't see numerous multi page threads through the winter discussing and tracking snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 So you'd prefer boring weather... The snowpack is going to melt whether you like it or not, eventually. Lol, I didn't ask for your opinion. Point taken, but that doesn't mean they need to be jerk-offs to the ones that don't. You kinda brought that on yourself. Not trying to be a jerkoff either.

weatherbo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I generally follow weather all over because it's interesting to me. However, a truely passionate weather lover is always an IMBY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 when you post a jerk off response to me first you will get one back. I think you both are acting out of line. I come here to get away from the vitriol that occurs on forums of a more controversial subject matter. I never thought disagreements over weather could elicit such butthurtness. We're not even talking politics or religion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a truely passionate weather lover is always an IMBY! would you rather the weather kept your gorgeous snow pack and be boring for a short time or watch it melt away with 40's rain/fog and follow the "non boring" weather several hundred miles away.

Agree with this, however if nothing is happening locally I am going to want something interesting elsewhere. As for the model change that people are bitching about, it is due to the Northern stream being too fast and not phasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain/fog/dead grass can never be exciting enough for me Nov-Feb to sacrifice snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 As for snow cover, the vast majority around here cares way more about tracking a storm than watching snow sit on the ground doing nothing for weeks on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 As for snow cover, the vast majority around here cares way more about tracking a storm than watching snow sit on the ground doing nothing for weeks on end.Tracking the storm is the obsessive jonsing/craving part. Watching it unfold is the sweet fix that satisfies the deeply seeded need. As far as having snow on the ground for weeks on end and watching it do nothing. I can't explain that part. For me, it has a peaceful, simple and pure feeling to it. It's calming.... and is the essence of Winter and living in the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking a snowstorm or severe storms in their backyards i would agree with but not a dreary rain washing away the snow with all the real action far removed. Maybe we should do a poll?

Unless you are making your own snow, you haven't worked hard at anything, and if you did make your own snow when it got cold again you can make plenty more.

Stebo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Either way, the odds are better that something like the 18z GFS doesn't happen so no sense in going overboard talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think people who don't appreciate snow cover mostly live... a.) Mid-Atlantic b.) South of 40 N. c.) north of 45 N. South of 40 it's too transient to appreciate as even the biggest snowstorm typically melts within a week or two. North of 45 snow cover is taken for granted. It's that midwest belt between 40 and 45 degrees where snow cover is special. Blockbuster storms with 15" or more all at once are too rare to crave for, but a week of clippers and lake effect events each dropping 2-5 inches followed by a 9" cutter leaving a solid layer of knee deep powder is attainable in a good year.

andyhb Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Believe me, I do appreciate the snow pack, if for nothing else, that it enhances baroclinic zones during the Spring, especially with a healthy one over the Prairies, Rockies and Inter-mountain West.
