I don't know why, but I have the feeling that this upcoming storm might be one of our last chances for the season. Hopefully I end up being completely wrong but if I'm not then I hope everyone scores.
 
The Farmer's Almanac nailed the last cold snap haha. It says that February is cold.

I will say this though, it's going to be wrong on this next period. It says this period is mild.
 
It would be a great characteristic to the forum to have Texas(because of Brent), Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Alabama in one forum topic and Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and possibly Virginia(I think someone posts from there) in another. Posters here are so biased to their location, it can get confusing. 1400 mile difference from Dallas Texas to Virginia Beach... Just some thoughts...

Not at this time. I encourage more people from FL, TX, AR, LA, and MS to join if you are reading! The main reason is because we would have an active NC, GA, SC, and AL forum, but everyone else would be left out even more so, It also sounds like a moderator's nightmare from my perspective having to jump from forum to forum to make sure we aren't going nuts. Maybe in the future when we get more members from those locations (Exceeding 15) then it would be a thought.

IMHO - Although back yard posts are indeed a distraction, the region-wide discussion far outweighs the annoyance of zip code specific comments ... :cool:

Plus - I really don't wanna post to myself ... LOL ... :confused:
 
This Mping thing is kinda fun. I like watching the "test" symbols appear ahead of a precipitation event. There's one in Starkville, MS now. Tough luck Starkville! you ain't gettin squat! Stop your test pings!
 
This is one heck of a game... JAX apparently has had PIT's number this year. Even if PIT comes back and wins, definitely quite an accomplishment to pull off what they've done to them on the road this season

Don't understand the onside kick, poor decision and ended Pitts chances

Yep agreed. Seems like PIT was looking ahead too much to New England, and JAX came out firing and ready to play. That's why you take every opponent seriously. This tweet from Bell aged well...

Ok im not trolling I'm looking for opinions . The icon did ok with the last system yes but now we have comments like " the 00z run will be telling " we dont even have enough data for statistical scores with this model but today it seems like it's flavor of the week. I get it's another guidance tool , I'm just trying to understand why it's picked up so much steam over the last 48 hours

Use the force. Trust your feelings.

It bit too hard on the botched overrunning event in mid December but it's performed better than the GFS & CMC with the last few events and hasn't experienced as exceptional last second NW adjustments/surprises like we so often see from other NWP models. Again, just to re-iterate this model uses the same slow physics parameterization scheme as the ECMWF
 
Since the ICON is higher res, it'll be interesting to see if the higher res models take a step back since it took a step back on 18z. The ICON itself alone shouldn't be taken verbatim.

The horizontal resolution of the DWD-ICON is about 13km, comparable to global models but lower than the ECMWF...

Mods: you guys are doing work. Seriously, this is how it should be. I'm impressed. I got my wrist slapped when I deserved it and didn't when I shouldn't have. When you have folks who are competent about Meteorology as moderators and don't play favorites based on personal feelings, post count or seniority it makes for a great place. I hope it never changes.

You know what they say right.... flattery will you get you everywhere! Lol Thanks and I can promise you that is our intent

pretty much anything ATL related is getting clipped from the snow thread. So this is just a comment born out of frustration of being right on the outside of last storm's snow line and it looks like the same thing is happening again this time. Yet everyone north of the city will say Atlanta scored again... because they are north and west of the city.

Just wish we'd score once for a change.

I mentioned this in another thread. Why do you think the ICON did so horrendous on the past Friday mid south storm. It kept West Tn rain every run all the way to go time. It went against all other guidance. Been a long time since I've seen any global miss one that bad.

It was likely overamped, I've noticed the ICON does this from time-to-time but with east coast cyclones overamped solutions usually favor one that's further NW which is in line w/ canonical medium range NWP trends here so it doesn't tend to adjust as much...
 
I'm so freaking done with the NFL when the Saints win this game. Just done. Completely. Won't be back this time.
