Fucking Weather

Farmer Ted Mar 13 2008 02:45 PM

Fucking zero sunshine for 8 days. Overcast, rain possible for the next four days. I've fucking had it.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 03:07 PM

This is for the Red Light Forum? Is one of our members a weatherman?

Benjamin Grimm Mar 13 2008 03:33 PM

This post ended a string of six months of pleasantness. (That is, with no posts in the RLF.)

Farmer Ted Mar 13 2008 03:42 PM

I just needed a place to vent with some off color language. Lo and behold, I needed my sunglasses 30 minutes after posting this originally. It won't last, though. Weather Channel bimbos lie.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 04:13 PM

You can vent in the NBF - there's no language police there.

KC Mar 13 2008 04:34 PM

Pick on the weather bimbos all ya want except this one you fucking trouble maker ...

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 05:07 PM

Or these - Irv "Mr. G" Gikofsky, of CW11 in New York Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz, of NBC10 in Philly John Bolaris, currently of Fox 29 in Philly (formerly with CBS2 in NY and NBC10 in Philly) I'm a weather junkie, and these are my Go To Guys.

KC Mar 13 2008 05:49 PM

Hmmmmm.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 06:03 PM

It's not about the looks. It's about the forecasting.

tmf: >>>It's not about the looks. It's about the forecasting<<< And not a goy among 'em is what I was hmmming about. Do these clowns really forecast the weather? I don't think so. If you like their personality or delivery just say so ... it ain't about no forecast. The best weather forecast is generally found here: http://www.noaa.gov/

John Boleris is Jewish? Really? And whether he is or isn't, you seem to be a bit obsessed with the subject, and very willing to jump to conclusions about other people's motivations. I've seen the NBC10 weather center - they forecast there. And Mr. G knows his stuff. The flip side is Eyewitness News 7 in NYC - they definitely don't do more than read a teleprompter there. National forecasts don't work for me. Living between NYC and Philly, I need to find the best of those two cities and average them to figure out the weather around here.

I once had a dream, make that a nightmare, that Hurricane Schwartz married my sister.

My father was a childhood friend of Mr. G as they belonged to the same Jewish Center youth group. They also share a birthday.

tmf: >>>National forecasts don't work for me. Living between NYC and Philly<<< Uh, you put in your town and state and then you bookmark it. Zip codes too. I just did your town and got this: Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. South wind 5 to 8 mph becoming west. Friday: A chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 58. Calm wind becoming east around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. And who said Jen was good looking?

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 07:01 PM

I prefer [url=http://www.my-cast.com/std/9hour.jsp]My-Cast[/url], which I get from NBC10. It gives me a 9-hour forecast with a visual display, as welll as a radar picture (which I can set in motion or end the loop with the click of a button), and options to see the 2-day forecast and the one-week extended forecast. I have no opinion on why you like Jen. It's your fucking business why you like whom you like. I merely jumped to the conclusion that you "Hmm"ed my choices due to their looks because I couldn't figure out why else you'd have anything to say about them.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 07:14 PM

BTW, here is the story of why we rely on John Bolaris. He was with NBC10 back in 2000, that weekend when the Mets played the Red Sox in Boston and we met for the first time. We were flying from Trenton that Friday, and flying home that Sunday. Before leaving for the airport, we were watching NBC10, and Bolaris was explaining that there was a high that was going to keep the rain in NJ all weekend but was going to keep it dry in Massachusetts during that time. When we arrived in Boston, all of the local forecasts talked about how it was going to rain all weekend in Boston. Even the sign in the elevator showing the local forecast showed rain for the whole weekend. If you recall, that was a nice weekend. We maybe had six drops of rain that Sunday, but that was it. Ever since that time, whenever we see John Bolaris, we comment that he's more accurate than the elevator. And I honestly have no idea what religion he is. Nor do I care. During the time that Bolaris was the lead forecaster for NBC10, Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz was the second in command there. He became the lead forecaster when Bolaris left for CBS2 a few years ago. NBC10 is our weather station of choice - that's the sole reason why I watch the Philly news in the morning rather than one of the NY channels. Do my motivations meet your standards yet?

KC Mar 13 2008 07:19 PM

Oh don't go getting your echelon clouds in an uproar, this is the red light forum and I was red lighting. Jen is hot, she was the hottest thing on the weather channel even when 8 months pregnant. I always thought Mr. G was kinda gayplastic.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 07:23 PM

I don't give a shit what Mr. G is - all I care about is that he gives the most accurate NY forecast around.

KC Mar 13 2008 07:26 PM

I've been joking around, you sound mad.

AG/DC Mar 13 2008 07:39 PM

You guys are right. It's totally fucking weather out there.

Coobs, you were on the other part of town. I was on the wrongly named Accuweather side of town. What, no props for Sam Champion???

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 07:46 PM

Sam Champion is a bimbo. He'd be lost without his teleprompter.

KC Mar 13 2008 07:53 PM

tmf: >>>Considering the number of times you've criticized my views based on religion, it's hard to know when you're joking<<< Uh, yeah, I'm clearly out to get ya.

Sibling rivalry breaks out in a weather thread.

KC Mar 13 2008 08:36 PM

Cyber-siblings.

themetfairy Mar 13 2008 09:03 PM

Well, she and I ARE both blonde....

KC Mar 14 2008 11:42 AM

I never noticed before, but does have some big freakin' paws or is it just the camera angle?

DocTee Mar 14 2008 11:14 PM

But it was kinda warm, at least. Hey Farmer Ted, our office might be moving closer to your office soon.

Farmer Ted Mar 17 2008 08:24 AM

The powers that be felt my pain and are giving sufficiant sunshine. To be followed soon by warmth as I have now gone through two cords of wood for our woodstove this winter. The Pilgrims musta had it real tough. Coobs, what's the new address for the work digs?

cooby Mar 17 2008 05:54 PM

If it happens, it'll be were Neece Chemical was...still a ways off but a little closer :)

Farmer Ted May 12 2008 10:18 AM

It's May 12th and there were flurries in the higher elevations of PA and upstate NY this morning. Fucking weather.

cooby May 12 2008 06:36 PM

Heh, I just said that too.

MFS62 May 13 2008 05:07 AM

About two weeks ago, I planted grass seed. Good decision. It has rained 12 of those 14 days. I should have a jungle out there soon. Later
