Send Jim Cantore to NC and scare the storm north. 

[MDsnowPRO]

Banter is at an all time high, what a glorious walk down memory lane 

[stormtracker]

Yall about to make me two threads:  Storm thread and Amwx Nostalgia thread

[Roger Smith]

I find it odd that every subforum that might not get hit on Sunday-Monday has a thread and this one which is almost sure to get hit, does not? I am not a qualified thread starter being of foreign ancestry. 

Tick tock.

Okay, I just got word from SouthernWX that the 18z WxNEXT is "a monster". I have no idea what that means for us.

Pretty ominous indeed...

[bncho]

Perhaps the NW shifts are due to the new data ingested for the 18z suite!

[IronTy]

What is Eric Webb saying about this storm?

 

ETA I love how we have an underground railroad of weather rumors coming in from other forums.  New forum low point.

Hopefully that it's going OTS so 95 can collect on their blizzard

[Weather Will]

Do we have a storm thread or still in here?  0Z is beginning!!!!

[wawarriors4]

Anyone have the 3-7 day winter storm outlook graphic from LWX or the link? I can never seem to find it anymore when I go to their page.

Was too busy thumbing through the synoptic analogs and missed it.  I'm liking the feb-18 1979 storm.  

 That storm had, if not, very close to 4 inch an hour rates down in good ole Hollywood Maryland for several hours overnight. neighbors house had an 8 foot drift almost  touching their gutter The state didn’t plow our road for four days then  they finally did they had the national guard behind them.

Man I was born too late.  Wish I was down here when it was still that rural!

[tstate21]

So wait, has no one mentioned the wright weather boards yet? I joined those the 2002-2003 winter leading up to PD2.  Maybe its an omen for this winter? Fun times. 

[stormtracker]

It is what it is.

Last I saw he was being a little shy about making any real claims so far this time. He basically just said it’s a very fragile setup with lots of tiny moving parts that can alter the situation drastically. 
 

Understandable that he wouldn’t want to jump on any one solution after his absolute disaster last week.

The LFM nailed the 1980 storm like you would not believe. Bring back the LFM. It goes out to 72 hours now ya know. 

The lousy f>cking model? I remember it well. Along with its cousin, the NGM (no good model)

[LongRanger]

of ne.weather, one can thank the late Joe Bartlo and his pset Jack for why boards like this exist

[GreyHat]

How about wxdisco board? Used to be free.

All that's missing is chops and bell bottoms.  

 

Why do all the old timey pics always look so much more epic?  Even in the December 2009 storm I don't remember drifts that epic.

Funny story about that storm...

I obviously don't remember because I was 3 years old. but my parents and I had just moved here from South Africa - and they were NOT ready for winter weather. There were drifts against the door and my dad had to dig them out with a baking sheet, lol. They were very much like "WTH have we gotten ourselves into?!"

Baahaha, at least he was resourceful.  I don't think I would've thought to look through my kitchen for snow tools.

That's incorrect. I believe AmericanWX came about on December 9 2009, am i right @stormtracker. 

I think it was before Dec 9th 2010 because I joined Dec 3rd 2010 lol
