You got to admire Jr. for sticking to his guns. He might have been right all along about this SSW event.

Has anyone noticed the weather radar in the EC weather app is better than on their website? We should be able to find where the app pulls that map and info from. It must be on EC's servers. Then we would have a better radar to look at on the desktop.

Then 12 hours out the models collapsed and all we got was a brief overrunning event overnight that turned into mild rain the next day. Pretty hard to compare what's currently modelled to something that epic.

I do remember the snow event. But part of me is glad I didn't follow the models closely back then otherwise the disappointment would have been way worse.
Yup l remember the night clearly it was a Saturday night Jan. 8th, 2011 Jr. Knuckles were playing the Redwings at Rogers arena back when fans were allowed. The game was tied 1-1 after O.T. and as fate would have it the Knuckles lost in a shootout. And shortly after that word came the Euro had caved. :cryhard:

He’s come a long way. From asking questions about everything at first to now even teaching us about weather!

Good quiz Jr. Knuckles l'd say, cause you knew at some point we'd see snow and cold again but who knows how long before we see a cup run again.

l dunno, if you study his grammar from when he use to post on the old forum back in early 09. You'd think he took grammar lessons completely new WP. it's a head scratcher for sure. I hope it is him though.
