I noticed today at Harris Teeter a display was out for pumpkin spice flavored items. Halloween candy displays will be out shortly.

There's already a truck and circus tent, replacing the fireworks one, selling costumes in a Lowe's parking lot ... :(

Does that mean hurricane season has passed ... o_O
 
I used to hate on Glenn for no reason, lol, he definitely doesn’t like talking about winter weather but rightfully so because when does that ever really pan out in atl anyways

Three years from now would be Glenn’s 40th anniversary there, he started back in 1982. I only know and remember that because my sister was born the same year. That’s a good time to hang up the towel. I agree Brad deserves the CM promotion, still feel kinda bad that David got brushed over given his seniority and clearly how much he wanted that position, but at least it worked out for him in the end. The timing couldn’t have been better, Ken Cook retired the same month David Chandley quit. ?

David Chandley is better in winter than Glenn but severe weather is definitely Glenn's passion and he does well there. Johnny Beckman and Guy Sharpe were Atlanta legends and were great here as well!

Glenn and Spann are a lot alike in that severe weather are their strengths.

And don’t forget about Ken Cook, who I didn’t like much at first because he was conservative but who grew on me and eventually ended up being my favorite longtime ATL met. His conservatism proved to be the right way to call.

Ken was very conservative in winter but it paid off for him. Any time he got excited I knew it had to be legit. I saw him about 5 years ago in Sandy Springs at Publix on a lunch break. He looked like he just got back from the beach since he had quite the tan lol.

Do you remember Steve Browne from the 1980s? He was the weekend and backup met. on 11 Alive and he was very good at using the then new MACS computer graphics program, which at the time was ahead of its time. He was very low key but smooth and very knowledgeable, a great communicator. I liked him far more than anyone else in ATL at the time. I recall him being the one first taught me about "the wedge". He was awesome but often forgotten because he wasn't a chief met during his fairly short tenure there. He was young at the time.

His last place was in San Antonio, where he had been for 26 years: http://media.ksat.com/photo/2014/01/08/weatherauthority-brown-640x360_35006_ver1.0_1280_720.jpg

His face looks familiar but I don't remember seeing him on 11 Alive. He must of done well predicting ice storms if he knew about the wedge.
 
I noticed the weather team at WRAL uses numbers with regards to the severe storm risks instead of the category descriptions the SPC uses. For example, the SPC has today as a slight risk for NC, while WRAL says it is a level 2 out of 5 risk. I think that is a lot better than using words that virtually mean the same thing, like marginal/slight. And they actually have the levels for moderate and enhanced wrong. Moderate means average, and enhanced means heightened, but the SPC has moderate as a higher level than enhanced. It's really too confusing.

Saw this on Twitter from @TARCweather on biggest weather phrase pet peeves. Definitely true

“The trend is you friend”
“Joe bastardi says....”
“The Storm will create its own cold air”
“18Z GFS sucks.... It will come west at 0z”
“Remember, the Euro nailed Sandy”
“Model moves 3 miles north. “THE NORTH TREND BEGINS!”
“500 MB says landfall.... surface will catch up.”

All joking aside, to be honest, I don't give two horseflies what winter does anymore; last year's "winter that never did" finished me off, it broke me.

Been saying that since 2015. You'll be back

Wait till we’re in NAM range
The models haven’t even sampled data yet!
2 very desperate grasps at straws
 
I absolutely cannot wait to hear the following:

1. The warm nose is overdone.
2. A +PNA is more important for snow in the SE than a -NAO.
3. A -NAO is more important for snow in the SE than a +PNA.
4. A -EPO is more important for snow in the SE than either a -NAO or a +PNA.
5. Modoki El Nino

Our failed winter summed up nicely right here. SMH!

I laughed.

And don't forget:

*An obligatory mention of the March 1993 Superstorm as an analog (as if there wasn't a reason it's called a "Superstorm").

*"Why is it that heatwaves never bust, but snow and cold always does!?"

*"Winter cancel!!!"

*An obligatory mention of some obscure and grossly inaccurate weather model no one has heard of that shows the solution everyone wants.

*"It's nowcasting time!!!"

I can’t believe how much the WPC/NWS offices bit the hook on that analfrontal fail last winter in the Southeast, setup looked fishy from the start, I mean the setup could of supported heavy ass snow with steep mid level lapse rates but it wanted to stay rain because we all know why
 
It's funny that abusive, manipulative and generally horrible people don't have trouble with relationships and dating but someone who tries to be the best person they can be seems to never be successful.

You’re still young, stay away from crazies, yes they are fun but they are puttanas. Stop looking and you will find her. That’s usually how it happens.
