Misc General Banter Thread

I posted earlier at 11:15 that the last one out of storm thread needs to turn off the lights. Inevitable, the american suite was in process of folding up shop. Never ride all those american models when they are on their own.

Man I just remembered that the model that led the way on the west trend in getting snow into East Tennessee first with the December 2017 storm was the Canadian.

I remember this because I took heat from Dave Tolleris because I said it performed better than any model and yet even tho he argued with me that model was the first to come way west.

DT is fun to listen to, but he isn't very good with humans.

I’ve thought about this before too… I sometimes wonder if they’ve looked at the cost/benefit analysis (factoring in the cost of safety/deaths, govt spending on Natural Disasters vs the expense incurred by enhancing the GFS or investing in a better product altogether….)

It just feels highly unlikely that this is our “best”

Nothing in la-la land on the Euro at least.

We haven't even had a signifigant severe weather outbreak apart from Helene in a while. It feels a little boring at times, which I suppose is desirable after all.
 
Guys a good tip to always keep in mind with these; if the GFS is on an island showing a big dog... don't bite. If the NAM is on an island with a big dog... don't bite. Either of those by itself is nothing but a heartbreak waiting to happen; they are alone for a reason. Both of these happened over the past 2 days. If you took the bait don't beat yourself up, just learn and protect yourself the next time.

The best people probably don’t work for Uncle Sam. Give big tech government contracts to run these weather models and let’s see how they do.

Some of us are just hopeless Charlie Browns. I know this. Have for a long time.

But. Even now, I tell myself the same thing I told myself yesterday. I never listen. Cuz “what if”? See yall tomorrow!
 
At least it's not gonna be a complete torch for the rest of the month, that's good.

CLT's snow climate is basically North Florida now so losing this storm sucks but won't be surprising if it indeed is lost.
 
No Grit PBP
It’s a wrap! Winters over ! It’s been real boys! 🤘
 
The 00z GFS was a gut punch. Luckily, I didn’t really start tracking this until yesterday. I just can’t track endless storms that don’t turn out for 7+ days anymore.
 
I feel yalls pain! This some BS
1000000000000 year cold and i rain!
Jacksonville, FL getting more snow than me! IMG_4314.png
 
Looks like we are making some improvements in this morning models good to see! Now back to bed for a little while and I’ll catch yall in a bit!

Was wondering why my NWS didn’t remove the snow from their forecast and bumped pops to 50% (they do also have rain included and will likely need to keep that), needless to say, some better trends this morning.

I’d sell a left kidney for a shot at this 6z NAM. Crazy that it’s getting close to its wheelhouse and has that.

South central Georgia seems locked in to a decent snow from this. Must be nice to get snow every year.

Thing that concerns myself if we are going to get the tilt that’s needed to keep precip around for the day on Sunday is that new NAM sees the cold struggling to push east.

May be a good chance this ends up like the second 2018 event where I did get snow for a few hours but 0 accumulation because I think it didn’t drop below 35.

And I still don’t really know if whether it’d be worth it for me to just spontaneously drive somewhere.

Eh, no more stupid than other hobbies. Not a lot difference between a good fantasy snow run and watching your favorite team pull out a great win at the end against a team they were not favored to win.

I’m an Alabama fan, so I’m just not used to losing very much 😂

It’s all going to be okay, I just need to find some snow and fast.
 
snow is great and it's what I hope for most, but right now we need rain. Really bad. I don't like looking at Falls Lake right now. It's lost almost half its volume. La nina sucks. Spring (for us SE folks) starts in less than 6 weeks. We need to turn around the pattern in favor of rain.

It's this and golf. So much time wasted, and in golf it's the same thing. So many bad holes, balls in the woods, then one par/birdie hole, and you're back again. Just for the hope of one more snow, one more good hole. smh.

Great analogy here! Play like crap but make a birdie or par on the last hole and you’re ready to play 18 again.
 
Yeah snow is great and all but if we don't turn this dry pattern around there's gonna be a lot of problems come spring and summer
 
Below is the CFS total QPF for the next month. La nina signature with excessive rain west of the apps (upwards 0f 8") and limited rain east (1-2"). Not good.
