EPS Looks good for next weekend, why the panic already? We’re 7 days out. We know ops almost never lock into a solution 7 days out. 

Ji is doing his schtick.

Sure, but it's getting old and it's starting to get annoying. Schtick or no schtick, he needs to learn how to shut up.

Is that a tooth over me or the Under Armour symbol 

Exactly. Getting snow this winter is like pulling teeth and shit.

With a little supporting cast it seems, the time to piss and moan is when we get a rug pull at 72 hours, not when it looks pretty ripe a week to 10 days out. 

[dailylurker]

Was it this area that was the snowanus? It showed up well on the Euro.

Bro. It's been a decade of rug pulls....

Many of us have become extremely attuned to the possibility of a rug like so many before, that if an ens run loses an inch from 10 days out, they go off the cliff like lemmings

Yeah it hasn’t been great but we actually have a chance at a decent period.

I dont even look at surface maps anymore. There is no point. But even watching the changes at 500 from run to run makes me want to pull my hair out. The changes are never to our benefit. Never.

It's the new Under Armour logo.

This thread has worn out its welcome.  I suggest someone who feels lucky open a new one....we need to shake things up.

It was 4 inches thank you very much

[jayyy]

So much of the nonsense in here belongs in the banter or panic room threads. JFC.

I'm seeing a "Chai", which is Hebrew for life, and also stands for, "Chai want a snowstorm."

He’s been the same since 2003. I dunno. It’s not gonna change babe.

I actually hate being negative but this is the only place I can be negative with weather and it’s justified. How much snow have we received since 2016? Just think if me as an ensemble member. I’d like to be positive. But every time
I try …it all falls apart

Just have some mercy on me. I’d love to change my tune

Just going to accept we are the new south carolina for snow. It rarely happens. Dc metro simply not very good for snow. Global warming has made it worse. What used to be 5-6 inches of snow is now cold rain thanks to a few degrees difference. I have thrown in the towel.

If we do waste this window the weenies are going to be completely insufferable.

Hey...we all have some level of angst with the way things have been the last decade. Trust me I get that. But brother...you gotta handle it better than this. I'm learning how to do the same (not all the way there yet, lol). If you address the core of your angst from within you won't HAVE to vent as much. Because right now this is unhealthy even by this board's standards.

Do you love snow? If you do you too are a weenie

Yeah, but if we somehow go through the 25th-10th window without getting any measurable snow then you know the Feb long range thread will have 30 pages of wall to wall butthurt.

Kinda feel like there should be a little grace if that happens because it would be 100% understandable--but let's go with the positive for now that we will see something measurable

Granted the chances we 100% waste this window are low. Now if someone is expecting a 1996 redux then that’s their problem.

The chances we waste this window are 50/50. They are never "low".

The truth will set you free. You like your fantasy stuff by hugging model runs. You probably still believe in the tooth fairy.

Dude, you're the one who posts your 10-day forecast on your weather app. Come on now... 

[pazzo83]

some of you need to do what some of our wise members have done and invest in property along the Allegheny front  - where even in a warming world, it will still be a winter wonderland (it will probably be snowier for at least a time)

[pazzo83]

i mean we live pretty close to some of the snowiest parts of the entire eastern seaboard (outside of northern New England and Atlantic Canada - and of course the favored lake effect belts) - that's pretty lucky for us.
