Storm Hysterics

[Warp Daddy]

I'm in agreement with parts....show producers will dictate the tone of storm segments which equals hype. I don't care for the non-degreed weather folks on big networks trying to sell the weather--makes me puke. On a local level, the degreed mets, I believe, are genuine and just call it as they see it--they probably dislike the hype just as much as we do, but I really don't think they try to BS things.

And I also agree--ski when you can!!!!!

Winn. You are a good man ! I agree the locals are degreed , have a sense of PROPORTION , readily admit when it is a guestimate at best because of conflicting models and tend to be more CONSERVATIVE in their annunciation of the LOCAL. Impact . We have been thru serious devastation in this area with a major icing event in 1998 which kept some WITHOUT heat for several weeks to 2 months in remote rural areas . S there is THAT local sensitivity . MY comments were made with respect to the obvious theatrical hyperbolethat is oft the case on the networks and shock radio weather guessers. Winn carry on and thanks for YOUR educated and rhoughtful analysis .



Now Doc Jeff , my daughter lives in that TARGET zone inside 495 and i marvel at the TINKER TOY approach that is used for snow removal. In that area . Pickups or smal load dump trucks with Fisher plows .... that is a huge. WTF !!!

You got that right. 10-15 little ass trucks plowing 4 lanes in line and blocking all traffic. A real plow and put the wing down and plow two lanes and do 30mph to blow the snow off the shoulder.


Oh and get the F out of my way. I am coming through. Gaper snow driver and plows in MA.

Yo Puckster !! U remember them BIG azz bad boyz they use up here with double wing plows that ROCK down the HGWY or. City streets at a pretty fair clip ! We are fortunate to have GREAT service in this region . these dudes treat it as sport !!

The big rigs are key to doing it right. They have those in NH. I need to move there soon.

Thx. I hope I am better tomorrow. I am working from home again. The FJ goes through anything. I had it in 4' of snow in fields once and it did not even notice it. I will be on the road early in the morning on Sat.

I hear ya WarpD. Yeah, hurricane coverage is the worst and I simply can't watch it. I WILL, however, be watching some of this storm coverage--not sure how much I will be able to take though.

Thanks for the kind words by the way.

Enjoy the stawm!

That's an easy one to answer, you'll watch until the storm kills you. Because as you know, we're all going to die from "Nemo"!

Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow,
Or do you see even the storehouses of the hail,

Which I have kept back for the time of distress,
For the day of fight and war?
