Official Weather Complaint Thread

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Hey posting in here tonight because I am currently in Bartlesville, OK. I went to college out here and lived for awhile. My kids live here so I visit often. I am pretty excited about the arctic front on the way. We don't have this kind of extremes up in Oregon. We go from 35 and rain to 31 and snow over the course of 8 hours. lol

Hope you enjoy your visit man. Some pretty crazy temperature drops going on right now.

[OKwx2k4]

Can definitely see where the cold front is at.

Everybody ready for our 1 inch of snow followed by above average temperatures? Wow, what a great winter so far. Exactly as advertised. Glad the people hyping it up for the Plains were right![/quote

 

Every year you go through the same process of blaming everyone for not getting monster snows. I'm right there with you that we all want them

, but reality is that we are in a region of nickel and dimers and an occasional "decent" storm. When you got slammed last year with 15"-17" storm I don't recall you getting blamed for that storm hitting mainly central Nebraska. My advice is "if you can't beat them, join em aka move to an area closer to the GL. We all know nebraska is not what it used to be back in the day regarding winter weather, those are just the cold hard facts.

Just frustrated as I'm sure you are as well.  Not blaming anyone.

You guys are correct, pretty much. I let my semi recent past sort of cloud my judgement. Call it having too good of a depth of memory but it's hard to erase 2008-09 (super ice storm) 09-10 (20"+ winter with top 5 cold throughout) 10-11 (31" winter, epic cold) and then 2013-14 and 2014-15 both with a good spread of winter events and cold although totals were normalish or slightly lackluster. When you're sitting 60 miles north of i-35 and you get that many good winters in less than a decade, I guess you sort of take for granted that snow is not always a given at my latitude. I'm glad last winter happened to help remind me to not take it for granted. I'm just glad it looks like true winter outside tonight and it's only December 18th.

Did you end up getting any snow from this last system? I think I saw you said there was a chance forecasted.

[OKwx2k4]

Did you end up getting any snow from this last system? I think I saw you said there was a chance forecasted.

I actually did! Got a good solid glaze first to mess the roads up and then it snowed about a 1/2 inch. Lol. Terrible that I was excited about it but it was nice to see everything turn white again after last year. The pattern after this warm up is where my attention has been for awhile though. I considered any snow in this month a bonus for me.

[OKwx2k4]

Just out of curiosity, how do you live north of I-35? I've driven the stretch through OK many times and it all pretty much runs north-south. You have me perplexed.

Lol. I meant i-40. Oops. I very seldom get those two confused but it happens. Haha. I'd have to be in Canada to be north of i-35.

For a winter lover like yourself, that's actually not a bad plan - 

[Snowlover76]

This pattern for Nebraska has to break

[OKwx2k4]

Ah. Makes sense. I seriously have driven I-35 the entire way through Oklahoma probably 100 times. Extended family is in Dallas, and I've lived in KC, Des Moines and the Twin Cities. Lots of family trips along I-35. I know that road a little too well.

Lol. I've lived in every town on i-35 from Paoli to south Moore. Havent lived out that way in many years though. I lived in one of the houses once that got destroyed in the tornado just east of the highway a couple seasons back.

Is it Spring yet?  Atleast Nebraska gets good severe weather.

That's what Money likes to do, call people names and just overall act like he's better than you. Great guy.

[OKwx2k4]

It's a complaint thread. Whining is pretty much encouraged. Lol.

[Money]

Yup

 

It wouldn't be so bad if the NE peeps didn't complain in EVERY thread

[clintbeed1993]

Yup

You don't live here so you have no right to tell us when we can and cannot complain.  This is a complaint thread for complaining.  Go away.

[Snowlover76]

Yup

 

It wouldn't be so bad if the NE peeps didn't complain in EVERY thread

You try getting screwed in every storm and every good pattern

[Grizzcoat]

You try getting screwed in every storm and every good pattern

Yep-- same thing happening here in central IA--- forecast of 2-4" turned into .4" -- half of which was ice pellets-- of which none was forecast. NWS here has been miserable the last several events

[Snowlover76]

Yawn

[FarmerRick]

Yawn

 

 

Oh, come on!!!   Don't you like rain and 50mph winds in late December?    

[Snowlover76]

What a garbage winter so far.

[jaster220]

What a garbage winter so far.

 

And now Maine gets a blizzard. Blizzards to the west and now to the east..

[Niko]

[jaster220]

Sick stuff too - NWS expecting 20-30 mb drop in 12 fricken hrs! Can you say TSSN??

[Grizzcoat]

Is Flowers still holding on to his prediction??

[Andrew NE]

Is Flowers still holding on to his prediction??

He said he was holding as of Christmas, I keep checking though as I feel any day now he will come out with a video post. It just seems out of reach at this point. Who knows though. I'm banking on the Boston winter of 2015. Didn't have squat in December and first half of January and then hit big to finish out the winter. Haha. Not likely I know.

[jaster220]

Per this dude's vid, the specific forecast ain't all that important...

[East Dubzz]

Whine some more

Do you get pleasure by being a **** over the internet?

 

Complain away folks, I know I sure as hell would be pissed with a pattern like you guys have gotten.

[ToastedRavs]

Here we go again....and no, not talking the Whitesnake song.  Here we go again on our own... winter of misery.  Yippee

[ToastedRavs]

And a side note...I will be at Busch Stadium Monday.  So, hopefully the Chicago stealing of our joyous winter moments will end with a Blues' win.  Let's go BLUES--- perhaps in the rain.  Yippee...again. 

[CentralNebWeather]

00z gfs more snow in north Texas than we have had all year. can think of many bad words to use, but to be kind I will go with craptastic since I have seen that word used more this winter than ever before. Next week will be cold so we got that going for us. Yippee.

[clintbeed1993]

Cold and dry...wash..rinse..repeat...bang

[Grizzcoat]

Since the snowblower broke 3 winters ago,, the wife has been hassling me to replace it. I  said we don't need one anymore, cuz we don't get anymore winter events over 6". At this pace-- I'am going to get rid of my shovels also. All they do is collect dust,, more dust then snow shoveled

[GDR]

It's been a good 16'years ago since my last great winter. Now just turds in the wind.

[Snowlover76]

I'm on the verge of a compleate meltdown. Screw anyone who says we have no right to melt over this. Im

[CentralNebWeather]

Have used the snowblower once in 3 years. It is in the garage but haven't really even thought about it. bastardi's winter forecast had the central plains in above normal snowfall. I like him, but he hasn't shown that graphic in a long time, just his cold forecast. Jim flowers had predicted over 40 inches. We would need an epic change in the pattern and record snowfall the next 3 months for this to happen.

I hope I am totally wrong but looking at brown ground almost every day is depressing.
