That is metar, and there was a convective snow event... ie thundersnow.
That is fun stuff... to be in.. but fun! |
if people try to make small talk with you by asking "how's the weather", do you answer them the pressure and direction of wind? |

when wisconsin got hit with this yesterday evening, my friend and i were driving back to milwaukee from my hometown. we were gonna catch the panther game but we decided to get some soda at this citgo on 45 and just as i turned on the exit ramp my windshield wipers jammed. we parked and tried to get them working, all while being pummeled with a in avalanche falling on us.
i called my dad and was like... yo pop wtf is up with my wipers?
he was like... idk nugga
then we tried driving anyway, hoping if we blasted the defrost it would just melt and the wind would kinda blow it off. we got onto the onramp again and realized we didnt see so we pulled over on the side of the onramp.
i called my dad and he's like... k G money i'll come pick yo azz up and i'm like aight cat unit.
we sit there for about 20 minutes with our trouble lights on before a cop pulls behind us and whips on the lights and the spotlight. she walked around to the side and was like... what the douche are you guys doing? we explained the situation. she checked our IDs then told us to get out the car. we got out, she walked us to her car, patted us down for explosive devices n such. then she threw us in the back. she walked back to my car and tagged it and then came back and the whole time my friend and i are like... holy we're in the back of a cop car. this is tight. and then we started trippin to the lights. then she came back and asked us what we were studying at school, besides drinking and we were like.. LOL and then told her. then she drove us all the way to the next exit, then we sat at a light for like 10 minutes so she radioed it in saying it was broken all the while the ramp as piling up with cars waiting to get off.. then she popped on her lights and just winged through the red and i was like.. helluva way to cheat the system and was like.. indeed or something.
then she dropped us off at the gas station and we went in this diner and ordered food and made fun of the rednecks sitting around us with the flannel and suspenders, then i took a piss and this hick followed me in and just as i was about to pee he gave me this weird grin so i shoved my junk back in my pants and walked out. then we ait and talked to the slutty waitress.
then my dad came and he drove us to my car and then he tried to fix it but he couldnt then another cop came and we talked to him and then he put his lights on and let us reverse up the ramp and swing around and put the car in the parking lot of the gas station.
my dad then proceeded to drive like 30mph all the way back to my apartment, then he took a piss behind a church and then gave my friend a ride back to the dorms. then we went back to my apt and he crashed there. nothin like sharin a pabst with the old man.
next morning i went to one class, came home while it was thundering and lighting.. and snowing and sleating and hailing and i was like... God is pissed off.
then we drove back to my car, backed it out, tried to fix it again, failed and then drove a buncha hick ass back country roads three hours back to my hometown again, since 41/45 was backed up 3 lanes for literally miles upon miles. every few minutes i had to stop and wipe the windshield off because some in hick drivin a chevy with 2982478 wheels on the back would splatter some slush on my windshield and i was like OMGICANTSEE. so i opened the window and would stick my arm out with the brush thing and brush off the snow, then when the snow finally cleared for the most part i realized i couldnt role my window back up so i drove in freezing ass weather with the window down.
to top it off, the basketball game we missed.. they in lost. gay |

I tell them to look out the window.
When small talk comes up I never immediately say that I am a meteorologist. Ive noticed that people feel put down after I tell them that "no I am no on TV nor would I ever want to be, a squirrel could do that" When it comes to refering to a forcast for family or non meteorlogical friends it is kept simple and to the bare facts.
Rain/Snow/T-Storms and when
Temp High/Low and when (generally)
Wind Generalization
If I am speaking with colleagues or anyone who knows more about weather processes... then I get into the nitty gritty of what is doing what where and why its doing it. |
