Ovi gets #900. Of course it had to be against the Blues, the night I couldn't go to the game.

Crazy to say this about one of our best posters in regards to their meteorological posts

Alot of people on here agree with him but there's  plenty of other places to state your viewpoints rather than in a banter thread on a weather board

Dale City's average high and low just hit Buda, TX's January averages today, 59/41.

but now we don't get @George BMs alternate future NWS disco for the Thanksgiving blizzard! sad face!

I am no meteorologist like George BM but I may need to set up a totally morbid Thanksgiving snow prognostication.

C'MON George BM! We desperately need your writeups! Washington DC Metropolitan Region weather is not the same without you!

Now, we have TWO standouts in this here sub:

1)George BM needs to make his forecasts; and

2)We need the Reaper back! Reapers do NOT retire. They live forever and REAP forever and do NOT get tired! And, they do NOT need to go lift weights in order to kill off depressionologists like myself. I may need reaped soon due to low 90s weather AGAIN in south central Texas in November and lack of George BM forecasts!

I have my third atmosphere and weather test tomorrow and its all on thermodynamics, saturation vapor pressure, lapse rates, and scew-Ts (I am cooked). So would any met or anyone else who knows what theyre doing check my work on this? @CAPE @psuhoffman @WxUSAF @MN Transplant @high risk 

Man I need help with understanding GitHub. Wish there was someone out there who could explain upstream and origin to me.

You should go to Sheppard Pratt and let us know.

DT WxRisk thinks that this winter could be somewhat like 2013-2014.

That would be EPIC for the Mid Atlantic.

Mammoth got about an inch.

But Palisades Tahoe is getting some good snows!

I was at the game last night…amazing to see and what a way to score the 900th with a sick goal. And Binnington tried to steal the puck, what a turd.

Is the KU book on Northeast Snowstorms still worth reading, or is it too dated now? I’ve never read it, but I found someone online selling it used at a significant discount.

To be entirely honest I’m not sure save him fully torching (pun intended) the banner thread what it would be worth banning him over when we have let people stay who add way less value while they bring up climate skepticism whenever they can

Not yet but I’m not going to stop speaking the truth so they will ban me sooner or later when they get tired of having to delete my posts constantly. I’m kinda shocked they haven’t already.  I’m totally fine with getting banned from a board if said forum thinks saying “bigotry is evil” is controversial and unacceptable.

She is talking about his sheer lunacy, nothing to do with his weather posts. He has completely lost it. 

If saying that posting an image of 9/11 next to a Muslim candidate with a keffiyeh photoshopped on his head is “lunacy” I’m proud to be insane.  That’s where you want to be. It shouldn’t be unacceptable to say how wrong that is ANYWHERE. Anyone who thinks that is OK is a racist piece of shit and why are we worrying about upsetting them?

It’s very worth it. It’s written like a text book on snowstorms. Get the expanded edition that has the extra volume that goes into the dynamics behind the storms.

I made this point months ago. What they do isn’t by accident. They constantly push their ideological agenda along the edges of what’s allowed. Crazy conspiracy comments about the government regarding NWS or NCEP. Climate change. In here I’ve seen “patriotic” posts masking blatant jingoism and nativist tropes. And yes we can do the same and push back in subtle ways along the edges but it’s fucking exhausting. 
 

Last year the usual suspects filled up the long range thread with climate denial crap for 2 days and when I directly attacked them within 20 mins “now it’s getting political and we need to delete all this”. But their BS nonsense was up for 2 days and only got deleted because I made it a fight. Someone said some blatantly xenophobic shit in the New England banter thread that was up for a week then within 5 mins of me attacking it “this is political”. 
 

Im not playing this “how do I be subtle around the edges BS”. I’m direct. I don’t play those games. And those games play right into what they want. Don’t allow their BS nonsense to be directly confronted. 
 

If there really was no “politics” fairly on both sides fine. But that not what happens because most don’t bitch about every little stupid on the fringe thing the MAGA crew say. But the moment someone attacks them it gets a complaint from one of them and deleted.  They end up with space to subtly push their crap without pushback.  As for the Islamophobia point I made that got deleted a few days ago, anyone who had a problem with what I said is a blatant bigot. Why are we protecting their feelings?  Why are we worried about having a fight with those people?

"Controversial and unacceptable?" Bro...it's not about the validity of what you're saying. You seem to be arguing that this is some kind of arbitrary anti-truth rule like "You can't talk about this here because it's uncomfortable and we disagree with it and wanna squash the truth": but that is not at all what's going on here. It's all about keeping this forum in tact for it's intended purpose...that's literally all. Doesn't go any deeper than that. This space will fall apart and no longer be able to serve that purpose--and it's not even you...it's others here who will bring it down. You know how it is here and I know you've seen how toxic the off-topic thread gets (I mean they've had to shut down AGAIN because of that). The forum literally cannot sustain those discussions. And you can trust and believe the same will happen here (and the same toxic posters will come over here) and then we can't talk about weather anymore. Is that really what you want?
