Typhoon Tip Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 It's an old hat conversation topic but yeah... standardization is definitely changed wrt to perception of public safety over the last several decades. It seemed the heftier winters of the mid 1990s really began that trend in culture - and I wonder if it's native to this region of the country, or if all regions that now rejoice in time off at the drop of a sleet pellet. I went to high school back in the 1980s ... and, though we commiserate upon occasion how that tortured decade probably earned its self the apex sore butt award for very worst for winter enthusiast (argumentative of course....) there were times when we did awken to say ... a half foot at 4 am. I recall walking to school in tire cake ruts in the roads of Acton, because few streets had sidewalks, and the ones that did were not getting plowed until sometimes days later. Very rarely did we ever get a day like that off from school. Now? heh... wow... forecasts for winter storms that have higher bust potential are scrollin' tickers for canilations like there must be an air-raid circa 1943 going on... 12 hours before hand, while cirrus has yet to even obscure the stars. I began to notice with my nieces and nephews that were raised in the area, ...oh, circa 2004 to 2010, that lesser and lesser criteria of weather inclemency was needed for delays and time off. I have one niece still in high school, and two years ago they had to attend classes until a week before the 4th of July to make up for all the snow days... I work for the University of Massachusetts circuit of campuses and along side, many colleagues have kids of various age ranges. They're consummately complaining about having to hire special sitters for what is in reality ... really uninspired weather. - I mean, we're talking snow stops at 2am, roads are plowed and just wet, with cling glops falling from the trees, and they gotta work from home because their kids are there. I could see how that would be a pain in the ass... and, we are a culture of litigates. For all our crowning achievements, conceits and arrogances... it seems there is a dual nature behind the time off thing - and it's not just school. My work ops for WFH with pretty pallid reasons, too, sometimes. I think its a collective want that everyone's like "meme" bought into? They act like its a pain, but they want it. And I wonder if the law suit fears is kinda of an excuse to get to sleep in an hour and scratch bum through boxer shorts over home-brew coffee while clicking through morning emails from a cushy couch. For others, ...they need a sitter. But I don't doubt we are in fact litigiously preoccupied, ..perhaps to avoid having to pay for our own mistakes - we abuse the courts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yep. NAM finally went wild in the short range after being a bit stubborn the past 3 or 4 runs. It slowed down the impact too.

Apparently 12/26/47 which dumped 26.4 on KNYC was forecast to be flurries but at 1 year old I don’t remember those details. 3/13/1888 I was blasted with 22 inches but was so pissed when I found out my friends in New Haven County had 4 feet, I even rained for a bit. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitzbuhel Craver Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 As much as many of us bemoan the psychoanalytical nature of some of Tip’s posts, when these runs come in lock-step increasingly more tantalizing each and every time it is like a drug and a damn good one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do kick myself when these things happen, but I enjoy the learning aspect and try to use this for future reference. I guess that's why I over-analyze at times. What Will explained to me earlier made 100% sense. It's knowledge like that which I lack and that is something I wish we would have learned more in school...even with map discussions or whatever.

Those are some of the issues, and they are valid. But there are others. too. Our son attended schools in Arlington, VA and Washington DC, from '95-'08. (Granted, this is a different part of the universe.) Schools were closed in Arlington because they just don't have the plowing equipment. Another sad fact, although I don't know how much of a factor it (according to the principal), was but many immigrant families could not afford proper winter clothes - boots, jackets or mittens for the kids. When our kid was in a high school in DC, the school aligned itself with whatever Montgomery County Md. did, because that's where the largest number of kids came from. At one point. the HS had been closed for 2-3 days because of an ice storm, but most roads were clear, so I convinced the principal to NOT to cancel the Friday night ski trip.

I tried to bring this up earlier in the day, how the NAM was oddly paltry looking integrated through the NW arc of the low. You know... it almost looked like someone went in and cookie-cut lopped off any fledgling CCB at the seam of the IB/waa glob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
