FV3 has waffled between wide right and a pasting, I kinda have a feeling, since I'm trying to keep things tempered (though Chris is all in and Arcc throwing around a 2/12/10 like scenario isn't helping!) that the FV3 is going to have another big run at 0z, outside of eastern SC and part of NC.

Yeah I mean this brings back so many memories of February 2010, I remember being 12 year old on Talkweather when the GFS sent the low to Cuba 4 or 5 days before the event and everyone was just distraught.
 
Sure would be nice to know who deleted my last post in the storm thread and why.

FROM SPANN THE MAN ON THE ALAMBAMAWX.COM

RAIN RETURNS: Clouds move into the state tomorrow ahead of the next weather system to the west, and rain becomes widespread during the day Wednesday. The air will be stable, so there is no threat of severe storms, and probably little thunder. Rain amounts will be around 1/2 inch, with isolated heavier totals. Colder air begins to flow into the state late Wednesday night, and there is a chance a few snow flurries could develop from around midnight Wednesday night through daybreak Thursday, but for now we expect no accumulation or impact.
The sky becomes partly to mostly sunny Thursday with a high in the 40s. Dry, chilly weather continues on Friday with a partly sunny sky and highs mostly in the low to mid 40s.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday looks dry and a bit warmer with temperatures possibly edging up into the 50s thanks to a good supply of sunshine. An “Alberta Clipper” type system will bring some clouds into the state late Saturday night and Sunday, and it could squeeze out a little light rain. But new model guidance continues to trend drier, and we might even get away with dry conditions Sunday. The high Sunday will be in the 45-50 degree range with more clouds than sun.
NEXT WEEK: Monday will be dry, then another clipper type system will bring a chance of some light rain, or maybe a little light snow, Tuesday and Tuesday night. Much colder air will follow the clipper on Wednesday; looks like we won’t get out of the 30s with a brisk north wind.
We note there is no evidence at this point of any disruptive snow or ice event for Alabama over the next 7 days, although a few flurries are possible late Wednesday night. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

Doesn't matter if all the models shows a blizzard coming, he would find the one model that shows nothing and go with it.

Guessing it was one of the fine moderators and/or admin who are trying to keep the storm threads from getting all bantery.
 
Maybe I should just post everything here, even if it is on topic, and just discuss things with 20 people instead of 100. That sounds great.

Some consistency would be good.

Have you ever had a post moved or deleted and it didn’t make you ill? I just ask because I am on the staff and have had some of mine moved. Have you seen any posts of me griping about it? There’s no intent to upset anyone....just an effort to minimize some of the sidebar stuff. I didn’t see this particular one, so I don’t know. Please don’t get mad about it.

Well brick the main reason the post was deleted was because I felt like it was going to create a arguement between you and 2 other posters.

Plus, just to be honest you have said a 1,000 times that the FV3 looks like the FV3 in December. You have said that like every 6 hours when the model runs. That kinda gets old and the people gets the point. I know you want to be a part of the conversation but sometimes you have to post something new.

Plus everytime we delete a post you have to challenge all the mods and wonder why.

Why can’t you just accept it as it is and move on??? Other poster don’t do this. The other mods and me have deleted a lot other post then just yours and they don’t say a thing. ??????

He has a point. I had a post deleted with no notification agreeing that the FV3 has been the best performer this winter. Then you go through the thread right now and find ten more posts that are far more off-topic than that, so no, there is zero consistency. It begs the question of who should be moderating who. Honestly, in my opinion, the meteorologists should be the mods determining what does and doesn't belong in these threads - at least the storm-related ones. Or at least have a say in the matter if they want one.

Glenn is a pro. He has been a met for like 40 years. He knows what he's talking about.

I think having meteorologists on staff would be a welcome addition. I always thought that most wouldn’t have the time or inclination to do the job. Now that I think of it, there may be a few Mets in American that are mods. None in the SE forum though.

Honestly he is playing it safe and I don't blame him. The storm is so far out flurries are what the models depict at the moment. If the trends begin to show a majority of large ATL hits, he will say that it's being monitored and there is a chance.
 
true but there could be all model agreement on a snowstorm and he’d still stay conservative, he is way more conservative then brad p
