Same im At 29 with freezing fog. Everything is a thin glaze of ice. Hoping temps tomorrow are lower than forecasted 

Freezing fog is pretty dangerous. It's also beautiful

Doorman would bring many weenies up only to eventually realize it was out to sea.

I never realized what freezing fog was until i walked the dog not too long ago and saw a cloud of frozen air under the street lights

Since everyone is reminiscing, I've been following since 2009 or 2010. I always appreciated Nate Zucker and his posts. I lived very close to Mt Zucker, so when he was stoked I was as well.

Accuweather in 2000-> WWBB in 2001 then Eastern and Amex.

We can reminisce because we got a surprise snow today. Another snack tomorrow. And real potential into early February.

So was I. If you sneezed wrong on 33 and rain people got their panties in a bunch.

What board was it where some guy from Ft Kent Maine always posted about how cold it was?

That was Will, an interesting poster.  Lived in Fort Kent Maine   Forky Fork(met who posts here, but changed his name) was friends with him.   He moved to Michigan in the snow belt.  He was active here, than he disappeared.

What happened to him? I am not a prolific poster but have been around for a while and always enjoyed his posts.

I remember the Wright Weather days. Im getting old pushing 50!

How far do the Jeb Walks go back?

he may have been on the Wright Weather Board.  It was pretty popular until the owner, Wright weather closed it.  Too much controversy 

[psv88]

Down to 26. Expecting 1-2” here tomorrow between both batches

33andRain focuses pretty heavily on the Northeast and hates if it's anything but snow. Ironic name actually. But they have simmered done a bit since going to Discord only. 

Wxsphere is pretty laid back and covers most regions, but I would say it likely has the most posts of nearly all the boards for the Midwest and lake effect regions. 

Looked at TriStateWeather but never really got to involved on that board.

Wow. Some serious nostalgia. I remember mashing the refresh button in the early 2000s on WW waiting for the latest salvo or rebuttal between DT/wxrisk and meteotrade. Then twice a night after the 00Zs HM would drop in and blow people's minds. 

Mulen would always have a rambling post and end it with "seeya" 

He was like a less eloquent RClab "as always" 

 

There was this one winter where this super autistic poster nailed a snow forecast (it was one of those 2010ish years where you'd always win if you were bullish) named KatoDog and people thought he was a soothsayer for a year or two

 

I wonder what happened to WeathaFella in Massachusetts, freakywxchick, and randy, who planned the first conference. Why did we all split up? It's not a big enough community to justify it. 

@weathafellais still posting here.  Check the SNE forum.

I remember it well, that was great times.
 

Do you remember the screen name of the guy that tried to take that board over towards the end? He was okay for awhile then got all caught up in himself and with no monitors to control him got out of control and people just started bailing. 

I'm not sure.  I remember Frank, metsfan (snow88) and some guy named Tom.

Love the nostalgic turn this thread has taken.  My journey was AccuWx —> Bill Evans board —> Tristateweather —> Eastern —> Here.
 

Anyone remember a poster on the Bill Evans board named “hani345.”  They lived in Newburgh and would always post punctuation-free sentences like: “Bill how windy is it gonna be please Bill I’m scared….”
