I explained ensembles to my wife this evening as we’re discussing ditching the ship on Thursday in Curaçao and skedaddling back to Durham.
 
okay mby is barely freezing and seeing more rain now, with the new runs

i guess technically it is shifting north. maybe that ice will be in the mid atlantic afterall

Not terrible. It seems like all the models seem to point to us being stuck in MIA for multiple days.

I was gonna say it really depends on when your cruise ended. If it meant you getting stuck somewhere then it might be worth it to come back early.

So anyway like I was saying in the storm thread

Everything since 2022 here that was hyped up for days with Arctic air flooding in always somehow underperformed. Was never a big snow. The cold and wind was the dominant story. Sounds kind of like what the weekend looks like right now. It's happened several times since.

In January last year a historic storm had been modeled down in Dallas and at the last minute it shifted over us and was the biggest snow day in 11 years. But the thing about this event is that the air wasn't that cold

February 2021 is probably the last time I remember such a consistent signal for days never going away and well the rest is history here

It'll be interesting to see how we trend here. I'm definitely not believing its February 2021 with the recent history though haha and so yeah you can kind of see what my worst case scenario is already here. Bordering on dry cold basically

I'd be a little less worried if the signal was 2-3 days out haha... At this range it's too far out

I remember being on American weather I think for the I20 storm 2/12/10. It was dialed in a week away. Was that similar to this?
 
Worst part of switching from tracking this weekend’s event to tracking next weekend’s is the frequency of model runs goes back to 4 clusters a day when for those last few days we also got the regionals and CAMs in between.

Well… that and the fear of a devastating ice storm (or a nothingburger for ATL, but that’s not the worst).

I was new to following this stuff and I knew ab that storm way before the news mentioned any of it.

I feel like the discussion in that storm thread is getting off track, so I'll bring this here...

I wasn't on Eastern, but I started a thread several days in advance on the defunct accuweather forums as a young teen back then for that storm, probably at least 10. It was a gamble where I won, but there was a period where the storm was lost.

Now, 2/12/14, the ice storm signal was pretty strong at least a week in advance.

I'll say it again, if I can't get this one to trend cooler, I'd rather it just go away. That 12z Euro would've been lights out for at least 5 days based on past history.

That would've been EasternUSWx. We didn't start American until November of that year.

Anyone here around for the accuweather forums? That’s where I started back in 2009. Use to post a lot on there and talkweather and now I mostly lurk unless something really interesting pops up. This is certainly that something lol. Hoping for something but I’ve been burned so many times. This has NC in its crosshairs either way it seems.

I never posted on the AccuWeather forums but I used to look at them whenever major weather events were in the offing. I hope this storm keeps NC in its crosshairs.

Yes. I rarely post here anymore but the AccuWeather forums says was how I got into following weather models back in the mid to late 2000s.

With all these new AI models, its filled in a ton of gaps though. Ill never miss waiting on the reg euro till past midnight. Just catch it on the a.m.. Nice to have a bigger nenu, with more dependability than the GFS physics model.
 
hate to rain on everyone's ice parade; but there's no way we will be in the teens during precipitation down here lol way overdone
