Just delete the entire "Northeast Weather Forum'' then. What is the fucking point of this place anyway?I cringe every time someone posts a forecast.
Let's face it. You started how many storm threads this season? How many posts each thread attracted? Perhaps you can divide the replies by number of inches the mountains received to gauge interest?Just delete the entire "Northeast Weather Forum'' then. What is the fucking point of this place anyway?
Whoa! Guess I hit a hot button. Really just joking big guy.Just delete the entire "Northeast Weather Forum'' then. What is the fucking point of this place anyway?
I guess it is better posted in the sugarbush thread.
Because it’s in its own sub-forum and not always visible unless you know where to look for it.It is a bit strange how weather threads get almost no activity
Whoa - calm down. How could you possibly be so triggered by something so utterly inconsequential? No reason in the world to be such a dick to the OP.Let's face it.

You've been here long enough to remember. The weather sub-forum came into existence back in the days when we had a real forecaster participating. He would give advices on specific mountains, nailed the start and end of the snowfall to either morning or afternoon, plus how much the surrounding highways get.... so you know not only how much snow, but also whether you can get to it, and whether the lifts will spin. That was worth having the weather sub-forum.
(It was also a lot of fun to have the weekly "weather speculation" thread, guessing where the next storm will hit, which mountain will have the best condition etc. )
Since his departure, there's not much going on in the weather front (punt intended). A few rehashing of the model runs. That's about it.
In the mean time, weather forecast for the general public had gotten more transparent and specific. Most people can now just look at the generic forecast and easily infer from it what's likely to happen on the slopes.
Really, the weather sub-forum had outlived its usefulness. Not for the once a month thread that has but 5-6 replies, which probably gets better visibility in the general forum anyway.
To be blunt, there's no more "fucking point" to have that forum any more! I vote to ax it. And just post weather speculation threads with the rest of the threads.
P.S.
Back in the day the weather forum got split out, we had a whole lot more threads going on in the generic forum. Like several new threads a day! Those days are gone. Now we'd be lucky to have 5 new threads in a WEEK! With so few new threads, there's really no "fucking point" to have any sub-forums any more!
Don't have to look for anything if you use the little lightning bolt thingy!Because it’s in its own sub-forum and not always visible unless you know where to look for it.
Probably going to Stowe for Thursday and Friday, seems like a safer bet. Hopefully Magic doesn’t get alot of rain before it transitions to snow, some of the natural trails can’t afford to lose much cover.
Its ok. That person has some sort of mental issue / personality disorder. You can just skip her posts.Whoa - calm down. How could you possibly be so triggered by something so utterly inconsequential? No reason in the world to be such a dick to the OP.
Having said that, I agree an ongoing “weather speculation” thread is a great idea to replace the weather forum.
