Ok i was bored at lunch today so i came up with this!
7 days out: Storm shows up on models in perfect spot to bury us all.
What to do?
Stay Calm. Take a deep breathe. Remember no one wants to be called a WEENIE. Resist urge to post unless you want Icehater to unleash a beat down on you. Walk away from computer and go about your normal routine, whatever that may be.
6 days out: Storm still showing up on models. You begin to shake with anticipation. Henry is going ballistic using words like historic, HECS, MECS, etc.
What do do?
We know you're excited but for now just head on over to the Off Topic and talk about gas or 10 foot spiders or something. Remember - it's only Henry.
5 days out: Storm still in a nice spot. You notice your town would be in the sweet spot. You puff out your chest and get that unmistakable smirk on your face.
What to do?
At this point you can't take the anticipation any more. It's ok to drop a secret PM to stormchaser, robbbs, or ice to see what they think. Again though it's 5 days out. You must resist the temptation to ask 'how much for my town' or post any fantasy storm maps. You should just walk away from the computer but it's ok to rewatch that video Henry made this afternoon of him and his kids eating bologna sandwiches in their Halloween costumes (wait, why are they STILL wearing their Halloween costumes?). You shake your head and doze off on your keyboard in mid-thought as some drool slides down your cheek.
4 days out: The NAM and GFS are in good agreement. The EURO is on board, the soundings look good and JB is using words and phrases like avalanche, day after tomorrow, holy mother of god, etc.
What to do?
You know it's time to make a thread. You don't want to jinx it though. Now it's ok to wonder, hypothetically speaking of course, what could be if this does happen. You can start a thread just be careful not to let on that you're really just a weather weenie at heart. At this point though your significant other is dropping hints that you're not paying enough attention. You should just take a break and hope for the best tomorrow.
3 days out: Everyone is on board now. People you never even heard of are making snow maps. New posters are coming out of the woodwork. It's storm central at your desk and you're already thinking about how much you are going to add to your winter totals. You're balancing your checkbook wondering if maybe you really should get that subscription to JBs site that you've sworn off a dozen times already in the last month.
What to do?
It's certainly a very exciting time but you need to remember a lot can change and you haven't fed the dog in days. You notice your wife is getting a little too friendly with the mailman lately but the new GFS is minutes from coming out. No matter. Your best bet is to head downstairs do a few chores and rent a movie with the significant other.
2 days out: It's complete chaos. You don't know which thread to click on first. Terry is frantically checking last minute flights to Miami. The Yankees have just signed CC Sabathia, the Giants have just won their 2nd straight super bowl and Devils have won 12 straight but you don't even notice any of this. All that matters is that next model run and the latest soundings. Brett is banning new weenies faster than he can keep up with.
What to do?
Hang on tight. You're going to be up for the next 72 hours at least. Stock up on coffee and join the mob at the local grocery mart. Kick yourself for not going days ago when you first saw this on the models 7 days out.
Day of Storm: You're checking radars you never even knew existed before. You're downloading weather programs you never had the patience for even 2 weeks ago. You're joining weather boards you never heard of before. You don't realize it but you're losing your weather weenie cape and quickly becoming a weather guru. You forget you're even married but it doesn't matter because your wife left you a few days ago.
What to do?
Not much else you can do. Just sit tight and enjoy the ride and hope those NAM QPFs hold up. Even your dog is gone, you've lost your job. Sleet pellets begin to pelt your window. You realize you're now screwed and it will probably be another 2 weeks before you get as much as a passing snow shower. Soon you'll pass out and you'll wake up to brown snow and 50 degree temps. It's not easy being a snow lover!

That was great Satellite. 6 days of great anxiety and anticipation. Forget the seventh day, that is where reality sets in.

I was COMPLETELY on board until day two. Come on, really, the Devils win 12 straight. Maybe the Rangers...but the Devils. Wrecked the whole thing for me.

Come on!!! The Devils winning their 12th straight was my favorite part... At least allow us Devils fan to use our imaginations since in real life we are realizing very little success...

This guide is a nice alternative to denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. :-)

Yeah, methinks the Devils' glory days are over, at least for now. It's the Rangers turn to be good again. Never hurts to dream though. But the Giants' 2nd straight Super Bowl title is a distinct possibility.
BTW Sat, this was hilarious!
