NEG NAO Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 what will happen if both forkyfork and yanksfan both stopped posting? I have mentioned this several times - the way to stop some of these nonsense posts in storm threads is too have a daily post limit for everyone - then folks will probably think before they post and write something that is worth reading in the thread - most of the storm threads this past winter have been unreadable because of the banter in them............Also all threads created should be approved by the mods first - another idea is too only let folks with a certain number of total posts - post in the storm thread and anyone who gets caught with more then 1 screen name should have their IP address blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. It isn't the moderator's job to act as a babysitter and tell grown adults to stop acting like crybabies. Moderators have jobs and lives outside of manning the baby monitor for people acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Play-by-play posts for an insipid rainstorm 80 hours out = So what, snow is pretty much done anyway. Any weather is better than none. April and May weather is so ZZZZ worthy for the most part. We usually just discuss temp departures with the occasional BDCF, a few rain mostly non-events, maybe some heat surges, and the growing season.

REDMK6GLI Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 GGEM has near 20 inches of snow for the south shore of the area next weekend lolSounds exciting but i am putting zero stock in any model for next weekend until sunday-monday. Besides its april and the chances of that happening are slim to none and slims bags are packed and ready to leave town anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SNfreak21 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Can we end this already, the feud between myself and Forky is over. I'm smart enough to realize that I'm never going to win.

jm1220 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 GGEM has near 20 inches of snow for the south shore of the area next weekend lol I'll run to the supermarket this afternoon and stock up with everything I can get my hands on. I'll also post the GGEM snow map on my Facebook page and tell all my friends and family of the impending crushing storm. I'll run to the gas station and make sure the gas tank's filled up and make sure our below ground bunker is stocked up to the hilt. I'll also charter a plane and drop leaflets urging the people to repent now in preparation for the death blow of frozen doom about to strike. In the meantime I'll turn every air vent I can as well as the A/C, ceiling fans, etc to blow west in the hopes that the storm won't be able to overcome it and make it to Long Island. I'll also be sure to plant many subtropical climate favored plants around my house in order to melt whatever snow falls from the sky before it makes it to the ground. Anything I'm forgetting?

MJO812 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I get 10 days of vacation but that becomes 20 days when you include the regular days off.

jm1220 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The SW wind today is actually behaving as a seabreeze for JFK and keeping temps in the mid 30s while other NYC stations are over 40: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-73.77658&lat=40.65944 Any backdoor front this spring is going to be especially nasty given the frigid water temps.
