mreaves Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I know that you guys are outside looking in at an epic stretch of winter weather so I can understand your frustrations. Let's keep them all in this thread. Have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hard to tell with mpm. His default is complain. So while he's above normal for the season he's gotta be legit annoyed at how close to epicosity he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Generally everyone from the CT river valley points west is in this category. A solid year with nice deep cover and frigid cold but sucking exhaust on the big events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 "It's snowing at my house...but the flakes are really crappy"lol.I'm kind of bummed that I am only almost twice climo for snowfall for my area. If I don't break the record snowfall for my backyard this year I will curl up in a ball never to be seen again until summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 [scratches head] I love how mpm often posts about legitimate concerns as an event approaches and a whole thread gets dedicated to his "Eeyore-ness"." ... While other posters just as often make up "meteorology" out of their ass to fit their agenda, and they're beloved by almost all. ... just don't get it.

N.

While other posters just as often make up "meteorology" out of their ass to fit their agenda, and they're beloved by almost all. ... just don't get it. [/scratches head] IT is an e sne centric board thou we can include C CT on east with that. So when that area is doing well....MPM will "be fine" or a "qpf queen" if models are trending poorly for him, (even when there is no "deform" band he is deemed the "center" of). and if e sne is doing poorly and rain than well mpm should be in euphoria because well even if he sees an inch, he doing better than the CP, like that should mean something to him living in W Ma at 1k. He does seem to poo poo more events than need be thou, and sort of defaults to a nervous sort of "what will go wrong with this storm" demeanor lol, so there is that which sort of hurts him 2x being that the tenor of the board already is in E SNE to start with.

codfishsnowman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 when emass was going through the snow drought between snowtober and the feb blizzard the complaining was at a level that buried my eeyore posting in snow drifts higher than those found the past few weeks along the likes of Hull and Marshfield......now that debt was more than settled with two gargantuan events within 30 days for eastern folk back in 13....and theyve had no hardships since....this is a New England board and last i checked mpm,hv, myself, wxmanmitch among others all reside comfortably in the confines of New England....maybe more posters are ene but that under no circumstances should make this a ene centric forum....

It can sometimes be that you live in a higher snowfall area so you should never complain about anything. But it also makes sense as that's where the majority of the posters are from, so to them they hear a guy from 1000ft in the Berks complaining about snow and are like "get over it."

But people would rather discuss unicorns and rainbows most times rather than concerns about an event not working out. Sometimes it's hard to tell though if it's just MPM being MPM, or if it's an actual valid concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOS ~ 100" season to date, PWM ~ 87" Sure PWM is 40" above normal to date, but BOS is +70", just two different climates really. But how dare I say this winter has been a winter of what ifs.

codfishsnowman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 there is definitely an "old boys club" vibe to this forum...i dont know if its bad luck that i stumbled across this board that coincides with a remarkable stretch of winters for the cp and esne but this is how its played out....the knowledge that one can gain through all the shenanigans is invaluable however...but in the last ten years or so i have only seen one or two winters where the goods were delivered like they should be at 1k in the berks....all the rain and sleet will be worth it in the future to see regression to the mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been around for 7 or so years so I suppose that is still "new". My comments before were in jest, so don't take it hard. I have met Mike, and he is a great guy, and I know he can take the ribbing he gets pretty good. The different personalities are what makes this place a good place to post. If there was not diversity, it would be stale and boring. Keep doing what you are doing. We are all passionate of various forms of weather, and it can show.

codfishsnowman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 the south coast areas with their 65 to 100 numbers are 200 to 300 pct above normal....im 130 to 135 pct of normal....sorry just dont see it as victorious....its truly remarkable for southern and eastern sections and headed that way for most if not all of nyc metro and mid atl....ive been tracking winter seasons since 84-85 and have always been aware of what fell around me in sne....never and i mean never have i felt so dissapointed....i thought after missing the firehose in march 13 by a few miles it couldnt be worse or box day 2010 but this just kills it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Should've added earlier in my deleted post that 04-05 sucked pretty bad here in the ct river valley though n ct did somewhat better... but that winter it was more just se ne that was really lights out... this year its a much bigger area and to boot were still under 04-04 totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't think Springfield is known for jacks though. Just solid amounts that result in a respectable annual average. i.e rarely have any putrid winters, but subsequently rarely getting in on blockbusters to the degree that others can.

eduggs Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 No big events locally is what made this winter frustrating. There were so many snow events where I could see the sun through the clouds and it was almost too cold to go outside. Days and days of lousy commutes to and from work, for measly snowfalls. And then the wind would blow the dusting right back into the road. Shoveling out the driveway and scraping off the car got really tedious. I usually enjoy those activities. The seasonal total is respectable because there were so many events. But other than Thanksgiving, which quickly melted, none were memorable. The rapid shift to melt season without a relaxation and shift to the storm track will cap off the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
