Sounds a lot like snow in the SE! Wait, did I say that out loud?

Sorry man, that stinks. It might be time to look. Job stress is something that can mess everything else in life up.
 
Man, based off the posts late last night (in that negative posts thread), I'm inspired to make a spinoff post off of it instead of watching a model run. I will say this, I do believe the globe is slowly warming to the extent where some time many many years from now (when all of us will have been dead for a long time) to where life won't be able to exist on this planet, but is it really that noticeable now? We'll see, I'm going to calculate my average temps in January and July from 1990-2018.

WINTER STORMS CANCELED!!! I am with Brick dagnabit!!! How dare the Ensembles runs show snow 6 7 8+ days and take them away and change them to rain. I Couldn't care less about Pattern changing or Ensembles showing a snow storm to track 9 10+ days out only to turn them to rain as they get closer and then show more winter storms for the next week and repeat.

Kicking the Can down the Road. These models can not be consistent more than 6 hours at a time. Now, Now you gonna tell me just wait the pattern is starting to settle in and come Fab Feb we are all gonna get buried.

BULL HONKY!!! when that cold air does finally show up you gonna tell me it surpressing the southern flow to Cuba.

Well I Say NO THANK YOU SIR!!! NO Thank you. I am official canceling WINTER STORMS IN THE SOUTH EAST. NO Snow For You. Nothing to see here just go home.....

It's essentially scenario forecasting. It's kind of like if you're planning to take your family to the beach this weekend for a nice holiday of fun in the sand. Your initial conditions are that the car works, your boss gives you the weekend off, the forecast is warm and sunny, and you are feeling good.

If you're like Billy Bob, you don't give it a second thought. But if you're like Geoffrey Von Enrich, III, you think it through. What will my weekend look like if my boss makes me work? Maybe we'll stay in town. So we'll maybe we'll end up eating a nice evening meal and going to a movie. Well, what if the movie is sold out? Maybe we'll buy tickets to a concert. Or, maybe I'll send my family ahead to the beach. Ok. Well, what if it rains? Maybe we'll go to the beach anyway but go to the indoor water park. What if my car breaks down? Maybe I rent a car and go to the beach. Or maybe I stay at home and watch movies and play games instead. What if I'm sick. Maybe I stay in bed or send my family ahead to the beach. Or maybe they stay home with me.

How many scenarios end up at the beach? What's the spread on the other outcomes? There's value in gaming it out. If most scenarios still end up with people going to the beach, then you have a pretty solid idea of how the weekend plays out. But if a couple of key things are changed that cause you to end up in a different place, then there's a pretty solid risk to the beach trip.

Meanwhile Billy Bob has no idea what to do when his car breaks down and his boss asks him to come in. He walks to work in the rain and gets the flu.

Anyway, this might be a terrible example. But the point is, models are imperfect and are prone to large errors out in time. Tweaking the initial state of the atmosphere and observing whether or not those tweaks cause large changes in the outcome downstream, provides a good insight as to whether or not you should have confidence in the general pattern being depicted out in time.

What if you quit your job and you and your family walk to the beach in the pouring rain with pneumonia? No half measures. I think Clark Griswold said it better than I ever could (apologies for the vulgarity/fixed it the best I could)52F65D72-DD2F-4006-B520-AC0391649C67.jpeg

Hey now, I was the one person who liked your original post! I liked it so much I commented about it positively. Let everyone else get the snow holes and you and I get the jackpots???
 
Finished what I said I'd do, and it's actually very interesting to me with what I was going through:

January average high for 1990-2018 was 58. Depending on what source you use, that actually averages right out to the historical average. Some sources say 56, but most actually say 58. Through the whole time period, it mostly had it's usual bouncing around from below average to above.
But the July one was the most interesting. As I was going through the later years, especially at 2010-2016, I thought for sure it'd average at least a degree higher than the accepted average of 93. It actually didn't! It averaged right out to 92.9, which I'd round up to 93.

I forgot to like it and profoundly apologize. I corrected my mistake.
 
Wow. TWC might want to think about just leaving a reporter in St. Louis for the next 2-3 weeks. They are the jackpot this winter so far.
