I don't see anything big for the Avalon. A dusting of a 5-10 cm tomorrow
looks to be worst of it so far though the wind might cause a few
whiteouts on the highway. Chance the temps might turn some of it to rain
later on too. The few days after that are an unsettled mix...cloud,
flurries, showers etc.
No big storms on the horizon at this point though.

I have to ask cause I'm fairly new to the groups. What do you do for a
living? Or, better question, how do you know so much about the weather
and are more right than people on tv/radio?
I was thinking the same thing....

Corey, she is no more right, or wrong, than the people on TV or
radio. The fact is she gets her information from the same place
as they do, generally Environment Canada.
Those who come here asking CD what she thinks about the weather
can easily get the same information that she would provide from
any of the weather sites on the internet, or from TV or radio.
Carter
but to his/her credit , those folks know he/she will do the work for
them so y not take advantage of that. it is a great service he/she
provides, nothing more nothing less, and it is greatly appreciated by
those that partake of the service.
i believe the issue of any "knowledge" or "expertise" that he/she has
or doesnt have has been dealt with and put to bed, \
it is a great service to those that havent got the time or dont want
to take the time to do it themselves
thanks

LOL! It takes far less time to log onto EC, and immediately get
the weather information you are looking for from professionals,
than it does to ask here and wait for a reply.
Carter
I agree!!
Great service CD..
At least it useful to some people.
As opposed to some comments or shall I say dribble made here...

POINT TAKEN
Once again I find myself agreeing with you Carter ole man. That’s
getting scary to me.
Nothing wrong with CD giving her take on the weather but I find it
amusing that people log on here and ask her for weather info, when
they could just as easily go to Environment Canada or The Weather
Network and get the same info. Sure you can even go to both these and
other weather web sites to get the local weather synopsis and
interpret it yourself. Why wait for CD’s info when it’s just a click
away? Basically she’s giving the same forecast as EC and TWN.
again,
point taken,
thanks
Darryl
hi,
i didnt see anything in a negative light in this thread, what are you
referring too??
thanks
Darryl
Nothing negative at all just pointing out simple facts. I wonder why
you would rely on someone’s amateur forecast other than that of
professional weather forecasters? Why would you take her word versus
that of Environment Canada? What does she add that isn't in the EC
forecast? Nothing as far as I can see. She's not adding anything to
EC's forecast just a rehash of their written synopsis in her own
words. Nothing negative about it. Like I said nothing wrong with her
giving her forecast but I don't see why people have to ask for
information on here that can be gotten from a more reliable source.
Would you take medical advice from someone on here other than a
medical professional? Would you take legal advice from someone on here
other than a legal expert? Nothing wrong with giving opinions on
subjects here but to rely on it as a source of factual information
without any knowledge if the person giving the information is a
professional in the field is anecdotal at best.
CD, how dare you have an opinion on a subject so touchy as the
weather ;-)
<3
hilarious,
thanks
Darryl
Like I said, people use her info along with other sources. I dont
think anyone relys on her information alone.
Your post makes no sense. People use Environment Canada but still
want to hear from CD. There is nothing wrong with that.
I'm a retired young veteran with a love of weather and climate going
back to grade 3. As you can see from the responses, some people have a
real problem with that...I just offer my opinion on weather systems
using all the available information online - beyond EC's 5 day or TWN
forecasts (unlike some think <elbow. Pointing. Carter>. My primary
interest is long term trends (climate change) and seasonal patterns.
And I'm a woman...though some still have a problem believing that. LOL

It must really irk you that someone like CD can provide useful
information to those who seek it, while the best you can do is to
provide some trivial condescension...

We watch the weather closely, especially in the summer, when we spend
a fair bit of time on the salt water in small paddlecraft. While we
use EC sources as our main reference, I find that CD often adds
information that isn't in the main forecasts - jet stream activity,
movement of major systems, etc., and this helps me better understand
why the forecast is as it is.
Re professionals - the only difference by definition between amateurs
and professionals is that the pros get paid - they may, or may not, be
better at interpreting the data available to both. T^he amateur may
also have the advantage of looking at a far smaller area - for
example, we live in Upper Gullies, and I can often 'predict' that the
20 cms. forecast for St. John's at -2 will be rain, or far less snow,
out here. It's called 'local knowledge'. If you don't need or
appreciate CDs input, don't open the thread. Then you won't find the
urgent need, at every post, to repeat the same old, same old whinging
and whining...
Corey, CD often gives us weather related information that EC or TWN
don't. She offers travellers realistic weather reports and while she is
not a professional (nor does she tout herself as being one) she is kind
enough to share her expertise with those of us who are interested in
asking for it.

i suggest the fishermans broadcast or even sw 780 i think it is they
have contiuopus weather reports for seafarers
good luck and stay safe
thanks

sorry should have read sw 128 not 780
thanks
Darryl
I'd do the same for anyone here that I feel is getting a bum rap. She
obviously enjoys her hobby and others enjoy the benefit of seeking her
opinion. Is that so bad?
At least she's not logging in each day like some and waiting for someone
to make a trivial spelling or grammatical error just to add a
condescending remark about their perceived intelligence...

Her admitted amateur status in no way diminishes Her value any more than any
other talented amateur in whatever field. There are many other individuals
here who have no piece of paper attesting to their qualifications but yet
offer good advice based on their own experience and interest. There are far
more people offering useless or downright nasty opinions and we should
appreciate those that at least try to be helpful.
Hope that helps and stop by the next time you're in the building.

hi charles,
Dont be scared, Let go of old hatreds and ill wills ...... it isnt
healthy to hang on to grudges or preconceptions
start yer new year off with an open mind and let go of old
preconceptions. People evolve. People and perceptions can change.
Don't judge others til u walk a mile in their shoes.
and again, those in glass houses......
sincere well wishes for the new year and years to come. We all have
room to improve in our lives, dont ridicule those that are at least
trying their best....And keep up the great work on your website
God Bless
Darryl
Well said! If only everyone in this group could be so accommodating and
as helpful as CD.
snipe
LOL...yeah sure you have...So how long is "recently"? You don't
consider what you said three days ago condescending?:
"i said many times it is a great service that he/she is providing,but
that is the extent of it, there is no expertise or knowledge involved in
the least but it takes a lot of time and energy for him/her"
If that is not condescension I don't know what is. You need to look up
the meaning of the word. You can't even refer to her as a female
individual. You have been informed MANY times that she is a female and
yet you still refer to her as he/she. Not to mention the fact that you
say that it takes NO expertise or knowledge to do what she does...
And then you say that you are defending her...lol. I'm pretty sure she
can do without your defense...
While you're looking up the meaning of condescension try looking up the
definition of cognitive dissonance. lol

Look it up...cognitive dissonance.
snipe
i think u misunderstood my post. i was applauding the time and energy
that it takes to do such a service for people
You can't even refer to her as a female
> individual.
i dont know that, do u??
You have been informed MANY times that she is a female
but only by those that dont really know themselves...and for me that
is not important any more as the content of the post is what i try to
focus on and not the poster.....it is a work in progress i agree, but
i am working on it...dont be so eager to take a peice off me when i am
trying and will try harder...
in fact i am working on that and am referring to the post and not the
poster as much as i can npow and in the future.

No I didn't misunderstand anything. I was back-handed whether you
realize it or not.
> You can't even refer to her as a female

Yes I do, and so do you. She has told you herself several times yet you
refuse to believe her. You've not met most of the other posters here
either but you have no problem believing their gender.
>
>> You have been informed MANY times that she is a female

Are you suggesting that CD doesn't know herself if she is a male or
female? She has told you herself many times. What reason do you have
not to believe her.
> and for me that
> is not important any more as the content of the post is what i try to
> focus on and not the poster
LOL...that is a crock of shit. So why the he/she then? Why do you
belittle her knowledge of the weather? Why do you feel that you have to
hi-jack every post where someone asks her about a weather forecast?
> .....it is a work in progress i agree, but
> i am working on it...dont be so eager to take a peice off me when i am

Is being civil really that foreign to you that you must work on it and
try harder. You wouldn't know but she was asking you to learn a second
language...Perhaps she is...

it has never before been an issue for me and i will not ever address
it again with this poster as it is not important to me from this point
forward, the poster has given greatly in terms of time and energy for
the service of others, that is all that matters to me
