Weather456,

You have to be kidding me. Are you supporting that thing - WeatherStudent?

Life is too short to stress on the little things, like whatever anybody has against WS.

Talk about a cyber interrgation. my fellow friends, i'll be back later on tonight, when hopefully by then, the agitated tides of controversy have calmed down. bye, folks.

Another dead giveaway post.

How are you liking this fall weather Ike? Its been a beautiful Weekend in good ole New Orleans. Even better with a Saints win.

Quoting IKE:

TIA!

No problem. Will eat it for you as well LOL

Frankly, I suspected MET101 was WS a while back but kept it on a down low because it's not something that should matter. I don't think anybody here would like to be in WS shoes.

Great weather...Saints are an offensive machine.

I'm WeatherStudent...

I wonder, do you guys think it will be colder than forecasted in miami for the morning LOW?

I mean the forecast was 77 for the high, and yet we only got to 71.. the forecast low was 56, so I suspect 54 or lower.. I honestly don't know

I'm in Prairieville, and I'm not used to the cold air yet -- Louisiana is typically so mild, that when the cold does finally arrive, it takes a little getting used to.

This morning, it was like 43F.

I'm enjoying it, since it's a welcome change from the oppressive heat we've been getting, but nonetheless...

That depends. Is there any cloud cover forecast tonight? Cloud cover tends to limit the amount of cooling that can take place. If it ends up being cloudy, even the forecast of 56F may end up being busted.

I also suspect people have him on ignore for the wrong reasons. Usually you put someone on ignore for disrupting the blog not because you have some unrelated bias against him.

As much as I respect your knowledge of weather and am excited for your beginning of what I feel will be a long and interesting career, you have to have seen him go on his tirades and start threatening to have people banned, go on name calling sprees, etc. Admittedly we poked fun at him, but it was so easy. But then the other side of him would come out, and usually for no apparent reason. That is what had him being ignored. Ask presslord.

I'm in Metairie and I am enjoying every minute of it while it lasts. I have the windows open in my room and watching some football. Too bad this fantastic weather will be gone by mid-week.

Maybe that's it, I was not here at the time.

But from what I heard, what he did was wrong, but he has attempted to forget and put it behind him, so why cant we, the more attention we give him is only making him worst and instead of "humiliating" tell him where he is wrong and "straighten" him out. Not saying you do, but in general.

Poor Jeff Fisher...his 0-5(soon-to-be 0-6), football team quit on him in this one.

To be fair, they may be on to something. El Nino is present this year, and it tends to bring cooler and wetter weather to the Gulf Coast states.

If you recall, 2004 had an El Nino, albeit weak, and we received snow that year. On Christmas Day, to be exact.

post 428

because I've read some of the wu-mail he's sent to people, threatening and attacking, cussing like you have no idea. No matter how many new names he has, it always ends the same way. There is no "straightening him up".

I have to understand what you went through but hey that's just me I guess.

Quoting KoritheMan:


The reason, I think, a lot of JFV's questions annoy the bloggers here is not necessarily because he has questions -- it's the nature of his questions.

He asks things that cannot be known even by the most skilled meteorologists.

With that in mind, I can easily see why he gets under the skin of most of the bloggers here. Given that he is supposedly studying at university for meteorology, he should have the knowledge to realize that the questions he asks are of the impossible nature.

This indicates that he does what he does primarily for attention -- and he gets it.

Again, he doesn't annoy me, but I definitely understand the frustration constantly directed towards him.

Saw on facebook he changed to Political Science, no longer meteorology

True True True. But Snow in El Nino Years here make me nervous. Remember what happened 8 months later?

That 2004 Christmas was the 1st time I had EVER seen snow. I was 9 years old and I had never been so excited in my life. Not only was it Christmas but it snowed. I will never forget it.

the clouds are dissipating, actually it almost clear outside, just some upper level very thin scattered cirrus clouds. With a breeze out of the North and North west.

I was one of those people he had sent mail to too. Melwerle and I had a long discussion about him after he caused that incident. I wish the Admins would just IP Ban him.

There does seem to be a strong correlation between snowfall events, both El Nino and non-El Nino induced, and hurricane strikes in Louisiana.

IIRC, it snowed during December of 1964, and we had Hilda just two months earlier. Then, in 1965, Betsy slammed ashore.

2004, it snowed, and along came Cindy, Katrina, and Rita. 2008, we had Gustav and Ike, and along came a record snowfall event that very winter.

It's definitely a frightening, but very real correlation.

Don't even bother to stress over him. It is quite obvious he has some growing up to do. I try to have patience with him but he makes it difficult at times.

looking very sketchy...

I know there isn't any strong correlation. Its just a strange coincidence. Definitely one of those things that will get you thinking though.

456, or someone, what do you think about the wave sitting just off africa? It at least has a well defined mid level low IMO.But it's drifting NNE into high shear. Still, I don't know why this doesn't at least have a yellow circle.

This is what worries me. When the cold front comes down to the stationary low(visions of Paloma)

we should watch anything forming along that axis, that low could dissipate, and another could form were the convection sustains itself.

The way it looks now is just how the convection looked before Paloma and the way the weather is here now feels the same.
