And please dear lord don't rely on me for forecasts, that puts way too much pressure on me to get it right. Besides, I lack any sort of professional credentials. I just try my hand in this stuff because it's fun, if you want a forecast to plan your weekend around then stick to the experts as your primary source. I'm not saying you should just disregard what I say, but the pros who do this for a living deserve the most weighting.

Gotta say I feel kind of left out when I see all of the bloated snow numbers of so many other places around us. Overperforming clippers have downsloped themselves to oblivion at our doorstep, Canadian high pressure has kept most recent storms to our south, zero Georgian Bay connections for significant NW flow lake effect with an unusually high percentage of it hugging the lake shore. Toledo broke their all time record for a season recently while several other Midwest cities are in their top 5. Heck even Buffalo is way above average right now. Syracuse finally decided to break through as well. The snow depth in Toronto reached 2 feet at one point and they're nearing a record amount of consecutive days with a measurable snow depth. And then of course there's the coastal regions. Just attribute it to poor luck on our part that nothing truly remarkable snowfall-wise has occurred here this season, but maybe that will change at some point during this seemingly endless winter assault.Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-14094308953508007712014-02-28T09:45:46.046-05:002014-02-28T09:45:46.046-05:00Did the most recent NAM run move north?

Not sure how the airport recorded 2.2" yesterday with that front as they have been so accurate recording snowfall this year.

And it's not because you go against what I say, it's because you always say the same thing no matter the situation or evidence.<br /><br />"To get excited over a few inches of snow with a front this weekend seems a little ridiculous."<br />Then I choose to be a little ridiculous. I may not be excited per se, but I'll be content with whatever we get.<br /><br />"This is a typical nickel and dime pattern that we are all so used to and it is boring."<br />To me it's not boring. That's just, like, my opinion man. You can keep yours, it looks too pointy for my taste.<br /><br />"Sorry if that is being negative but if you are honest you would also state that you are tired of missing these snowstorms."<br />I'm not tired of missing these storms because I've learned to accept that it happens most of the time. I just don't see a need to talk incessantly about it.<br /><br />"If you say you are not than you are a liar."<br />See above.<br /><br />Anyway this mammoth pile of word vomit I've just created has to be the biggest effort post in the history of effort posts, but I hope it can clarify a few things. If it doesn't, oh well I tried. I promise I'll back off on criticizing you if you can at least try to express a few shades more optimism from time to time. I know I can be snarky sometimes (read: a lot) especially towards you, but it's never meant to antagonize. It's just what I do, and I never expect anyone to take it seriously. These are all my honest thoughts and I'm not about to alter them. I will say no more on the matter, feel free to speak your peace once/if you read this but don't expect a response from me.

Although I definitely screwed the pooch on what looked at one point to be a decent storm on Wednesday, but at least I justified my thoughts with something. Not like I was alone on that opinion either. I'll admit to largely forgetting about that one until now.<br /><br />"Every week you say we could get a big storm."<br />That's because we've had at least one new storm modeled somewhere in the East almost every week. And I never go beyond vague terms until more details become clear. Notice that I never say "we WILL get a big storm." And I'm pretty sure I don't always hint that it could be big, I can only remember doing that once or twice.<br /><br />"Eventually you will be right."<br />I've already been right once (mostly). Granted it wasn't a "big" storm, but then I never said it would be. I also said the East was in for a stormy time in early February. Guess what happened...<br /><br />"I love how you say someone is being negative just because they disagree with you and your model analysis."<br />Wrong, they're being negative because they almost always side with negative outlooks.<br /><br />"Models do not tell the whole story."<br />And in other news, it was cold outside today...<br /><br />"You also have to look at history and climate."<br />Already done that almost to excess.<br /><br />"The fact is that we do not get many storms here in Rochester. Most go to our West or South and East."<br />That's no reason to assume they'll all do that. I feel like you do this a lot.<br /><br />"I give my opinion the way I see it and yes I am not always correct just like you, but it is my opinion."<br />You almost always have the same opinion though...<br /><br />"This storm will miss us, period, end of story."<br />Can't completely disagree there.

Every week you say we could get a big storm. Eventually you will be right. I love how you say someone is being negative just because they disagree with you and your model analysis. Models do not tell the whole story. You also have to look at history and climate. The fact is that we do not get many storms here in Rochester. Most go to our West or South and East. I give my opinion the way I see it and yes I am not always correct just like you, but it is my opinion. This storm will miss us, period, end of story. Do I want it to hit us, yes. I am not being negative because I say it will miss us. Mamma mia!!!!!! Stop slamming me because I go against what you say. To get excited over a few inches of snow with a front this weekend seems a little ridiculous. This is a typical nickel and dime pattern that we are all so used to and it is boring. Sorry if that is being negative but if you are honest you would also state that you are tired of missing these snowstorms. If you say you are not than you are a liar.
