Fisherman Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Is anyone else getting sick and tired of the wah, wah, wah on the weather net every time they expect snow? Then every other radio station has these special weather bulletins. Epic snowfall of biblical proportions on the eastern seaboard(well some got dumped on). WAH!

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yep, if you don't like cold and snow, move!!! Plenty of room in Arizona and New Mexico for the whiners to stay warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I watch CTV news from Toronto every evening and they break me up constantly with their weather talk. Seems every time their gonna get an inch of snow they do the broadcast from the city salt yards and explain how many salters and plows are ready to tackle the "storm" I dunno about anyone else but I think we've had a pretty easy winter but to listen to those guys it could be the worst winter in years. But speaking of an easy winter, as I look out the front window I can't even see across the lake it's snowing so hard Edited January 29, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 They were calling for -20 temps for Saturday with cloud cover. Anyone see the problem with this report? The call now is -6 with cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's been a piece of cake so far. Knock on wood. I find by mid February we've got it beat. Longer, sunnier days, and it feels like it won't be long until the sap will be flowing.

Joeytier Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 We're about on track for a normal winter here, maybe a little lighter than average on the snow pack. We'll see what February brings. A lot nicer than last year anyway, if the trail wasnt broken by mid-Jan you could forget about it until mid-March lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 The weather net hype pisses me off. It wouldnt be so bad if they actually got it right. 4" of snow and everyone is in panic mode. The scariest part of these "storms" are the idiots who believe the hype. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 And then you get up at 0530 to check the weather and what do you get..Emily stuffed into a distorted sausage casing.

Hey Brian Have only had the cataracts removed from my right eye so far but I no longer need to wear glasses (have since I was twelve years old)so I am looking forward to having the left eye done...Hopefully I will be able to see my float move from a distance while crappie fishing this coming spring...

LefroyFisherman Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I agree, every time I hear major snow fall or storm and they are calling for like 10-15cms, lol! I bet the people of Buffalo laugh at all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Best of luck with your peep Norm. Look forward to hearing how it improved your sight Norm. My date is March or April for both peeps. I no longer feel the need to laugh at old people. Had mine done (both eyes) a couple of years ago. I couldn't believe how many stars there were in the sky or how white, white really was after the surgery. I still need my glasses for reading but have bifocals so I just wear them all the time. Norm, if you think you are going have a problem getting to your appointment let me know, I'll come and get you if you need me too. Just try to give me a day or two notice so I can book off work.

Old Ironmaker Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) What else are they going to talk about on Thw Weather Network dedicated 24 hours per day to the weather. Same freekin thing every 10 minutes for 24 hours. Same as the 24 hour news channels same "news" every 10 minutes including the same weather for 24 hours. They will break in with world changing developments because the weather has changed. You know what I mean. We get the Boston US networks on our dish here. For 2 days this week "JUDGE JUDY" was preempted to cover the "Snowmagedon of the century". They got it right, it snowed. Don't mess with Judge Judy. This is something I would love to hear from a news report from a reporter that has had it. Now we go to Lance reporting from the centre of this strange occurance, I must warn you some images may be disturbing, Lance.... Yes Chip I am here in the middle of what I can only say that this is something this reporter has never seen before and never wants to see again. If you can see behind me is some type of white particulate the is dropping from above in a verticle fashion. We are out here Chip without any protection and have had our skin come in contact with this possibly deadly material that is most likely toxic. I can tell you it feels wet. Several calls to the White House the Pentagon as well as NASA have not been returned. What are they hiding Chip? If I don't make it back alive, please tell my family I love them Chip.

lew Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 "Snowmagedon of the century". Not sure what's worse, the constant whining about winter or the never ending ramblings about "deflategate" Seems no matter what channel I put on it's ALWAYS there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
