STORM2K

I know I haven't been myself lately, and I'm sorry. I hate all these twists and turns with storms. I get all excited only to be let down, and it repeats itself until the storm is over. That's what gets me mad. I'm sorry if I've been seeming crabby lately..I apologize to the mods and admins here, and I promise it won't happen again, until the next storm. J/K

Seriously, I apologize and would never do anything to put my account here in jeopardy.

Be happy you got snow... you wouldnt last a minute if you lived here.

I accept your apology Colin.

Colin, just be glad that you aren't in south Mississippi...you'd be in the nut house by now .
Seriously, no need to apologize on my account. I know how it is to see the perfect setup, only to have it fall apart.

All of us in the snowy areas can relate Colin. It's just that you give up so fast on the forecasts. I know that you have some forecasting ability yourself. Your multiple posts of "this storm is a bust", "this winter is a bust", etc. is ALMOST as bad as some that keep asking, "how much snow for me?".

I was alittle disappointed myself with the storms, but that's only because I let myself get all excited by the hype (and the GFS ). I believe in the ability of each person here that puts together a well-thought out forecast and tries to educate those of us that are still in Weather 101. In the end, I did get snow but I also got alot more ice than I expected or wanted, but hey, I can't have everything. What's important is that the models (yes, the GFS) and our other weather gurus here did predict these storms a week or more before they happened, even though the results were alittle different than originally thought.

Just take a deep breath and know that'll you'll probably end up with a heck of alot more snow than me this winter!

Guys, I've had all the wintry precip that I care for...if it were possible I'd build a pipeline to direct the systems to your areas...and have them BYPASS my area for the rest of the winter.

BRING ON SPRING, BABY!!

Pipe it right down here to Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. We shall take it.

Weather can change, drastically, in no time,
just like life. You have to work with what you
get, on both accounts. Laugh with your friends
who are havng fun with it, and, know that it's
not such an impossibility that your time will
come....patience!

I used to think that storms deliberately broke up and went on both sides of my back yard...for years! Seemed like everyone got the bad weather I always wanted.

Watching weather teaches you about life, too. Anticipation of our dreams, not the dreams themselves, is very very important. In other words, try to be thankful you can see and hear and feel the sky around you...even on the best of days. Some people just can't do that.

That makes you special....and your love of the sky makes you even more special. Hang in there. You have many years of watching storms and some of them will be just what you wish for!!!!

It has been very strange around here the last few years also, and it frustrated me to no end. In years past, it seemed that living near lake Superior would attract huge amounts of snow. The last few years, however, it seems like the big lake is repelling snowshowers in our area. Talk ahbout frustrating. I am just glad that I am not one of the Hundreds of Thousands of people who have bought a new snowmobile in the past three years. They have had to make the trek to the U.P. of Michigan to get any use out of them.

In conclusion, frustration comes when we don't get what we expect. Maybe we expect too much. Now that I have gotten used to not having much snow, and was beginning to appreciate not having to shovel snow as much, we get dumped on....lol

An easterly wind off Lake Superior isn't that common, anyway... is it?

No it isn't, but the wind and snow would hit the lake from the west and swirl around and seem as though it was fro the east. Picking up lake effect snow in the process. I am only 20 miles fro the lake, so it reached us here quite often. Lately though, it seems that the lake is repelling the snow. Just giving us the arctic temps.
