I used to do a pay per year weather service forum. You guys are just as good and provide more detailed info, along with a lot more of it from multiple sources. I don't really plan to post a whole lot because I don't know enough to add any really useful information. It's really refreshing to know other people like me exist, when major weather of any kind come around to our area, my wife hates me. haha. Like, thinks I am nuts that I can spend so much time staring at the radar, looking outside, other forums, cranky's blogs/tweets, NOAA, Horst's site, Bobby M's facebook videos, etc.......All I am trying to say is, I appreciate you guys and everything you post. I finally joined the forum officially because I needed to get that off my chest. Also, even though I stalk the lower forum. I will not be posting this down there. Wayyyy to hostile and they probably don't consider southern Pa the Mid Atlantic for some reason. I have a lot of respect for those of you who have the balls to post down there. Thanks -Josh S. Welcome Josh! And hey... guess what? You're right up the road from me. I live between Maytown and E-town! (though really just outside Maytown borough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past couple years(just got a smartphone a month ago) I have been educating him on the online resources for weather. He is coming along...haha Well...as you will discover our subforum seems to be filled with a bit more "senior" individuals...which is neither bad nor good. What bubbler said I can totally relate to as I am 9 years older than he is...haha. I think I'm the most senior member around here at the ripe age of 59...lol. But we're all here for the same reasons, really, and that's love of weather...particularly the winter variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we all have that liberty of saying we nailed it if we get within 36" of the total? LOL. If so then I am locking in for this weekend. LSV sees 1"-37". That range is due to a 4000' change in elevation. I believe the town of Mammoth Lakes is around 7000', while the summit is 11053'. Not uncommon at all for amounts to double from the village up to the summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love winter weather the most, absolutely, but I find myself rooting severe weather of most kinds in the "off" season. This is a hobby for me, gives me something to be excited about. Age doesn't matter for this hobby! For the guys close by(working or home) awesome, always nice to be hoping for a good hit close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah MA forum is worried about serious icing down there. Verbatim we get some, but mostly snow. Its just one run, but I'd take it, mix or no mix. I wanna get on the board.

canderson Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is the ICON a new map? I never remember it getting talked about prior to this year. Is it worthy to look at closely or is like the SREFs and NAM and etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks like the ICON is a LR model goes out to 180 from quick view. That's great. The Germans are very particular with everything they do. That should also apply to weather modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
