Continued Winter Banter.

This is what I wish for every winter. I hate any kind of cold, but snow doesn't bother me as much, as long as it melts quickly. I'd like to move somewhere warmer in the not so distant future.

Some people just don't like winter, indeed some folks suffer from a form of seasonal depression. But they generally don't hang out around forums where people actually like such weather. So why do folks like you and Marsplex, who seem like reasonable people, hang out here? Is it to see if winter will end early? Serious question, as my primary sociological interest is in snow weenies, there are too many warm lovers to make that interesting...

I don't like the cold that much either, maybe every once in awhile or during a snow storm. Much rather it be Summer right now.

Because this place and the folks here are a goldmine of info, i no longer have to rely on the goofs at news12 or whatever to get my forecast info. The people here are rock solid. I appreciate them all and i learn a lot here too. Love this place.

you can lay into long range guesses all you want but you missed the biggest storm of the season within 48 hours

PB GFI has been the best forecaster in this sub forum this winter. He called the El Niño as being not east based. Win. He called the pattern flip at 500 in early January. Win. He called for the Blizzard way out, but questioned the NAMs output which is sensible. Win. During this time, you called for warm, warm and more warm. Until 12 hours before the blizzard when you suddenly jumped aboard with a big total. It's ridiculous that you would even question PBs skills after his exemplary performance this season and in light of the ineffectualness of yours.

She's been back for a few weeks now

I always believe banned people come back under different names. It depends what sort of ban the website uses but many are easy to get around and the only way to recognize the person is either by posting style or sometimes the server they are posting from. But given most here are in the NY area that wouldn't really tell much

Yeah. It gives you the option to ban by username and or by IP address. You can easily spoof an IP address.

I'm just a fan of weather/climate in general, I become a little less interested in the winter as my main interests are warm weather phenomena like heat, thunderstorms, tornados, and hurricanes. But I do learn a lot during the winter since this is when the board is the most active. But as much as I hate the cold, I do like a little bit of snow here and there, and even a major storm every once in a while.

The cold/snow obsession does become unbearable at times though, last winter was torturous.

Hi.

 

You're all going to be gaining me as a regular poster sometime in June, because I'm going to be a teacher in NYC.

 

Whether or not you want to take this as a good thing is of your choosing.

I am sorry to hear that you will be taking on such a thankless task. You will be held responsible for all of society's ills, and be expected to solve them. For a pittance. And you will be accused of only having a part time job with full time pay. This will weigh heavily on your mind when you come home from school and collapse from exhaustion. You will have days where you interact with the police, fire dept and first aid squad in the same day. And when the test scores do not go up, they will say it is because you are incompetent. Might as well know this going in. Good luck, you will need it. Schedule an appointment with a therapist. It will help.
