Might want to paint your balls orange or green. (Attachment Link)
It's been a while since we've had any clown maps/snow porn to look at. If I can't be pleased, might as well be teased.
I'd really like to close the books on this one. In fact, I have since January. There is some chatter about the stratospheric warming event that could disrupt the PV and send the cold air south. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's worth thinking about. The GFS, Euro, and CMC hint at a Greenland block in early March.
I like everybody in here, always have. I respect the real weather people here more than a lot of the local mets. The knowledge in here from those people is fantastic!!!I never have claimed to have superior knowledge or anything like that, I just have some basic knowledge and know a bit more than the general public does and I just like to talk about it with you all. I'd like to think we were all friends Some posts are at times a little "much" but I think everybody is here for the same thing? We like to talk weather
You are a great addition to this forum. Please don't think otherwise.As for Icestorm's post, I recall more when more meteorologists and experienced hobbyists posted on weather forums, including ours. I have noticed that change across a few forums and not just ours. I speculate the weenie factor is hard to deal with which dissuades professionals from sharing their opinions. The "Weather Twitter" community (as toxic as it can be sometimes) is the best publicly available option for quick, reliable information from professionals. There are a few more restrictive weather forums that professionals will frequent. Sites like stormtrack do their best to eliminate the weenie factor from their forum. I have also met several professional meteorologists in Discord chats that are by invitation only. I suspect many professionals see that as a better option.Sites like ours serve a great purpose. The snow weenie stuff can be tiring to sift through but think about the amount of people who are constantly learning new things from others. We all started somewhere... in fact, how many posts have I clogged up the forum with over the years with snow weenie banter and bickering with Bruce and Matthew? Despite all that, I learned many new things about meteorology that I would not have if I didn't frequent the forum. It was here where I learned how to interpret a Skew-T, where I first learned what CAPE and the DGZ meant, where I learned the difference between convection-allowing and global models, where I learned about upper air patterns that set the stage to make a winter either great or terrible.... and the list goes on and on! I learned all of that here.
Gotta go with a C here for 22-23. White Christmas and 0 degrees has got to count for something. Not to mention-33 wind chill the day after the front.
