Can people quit saying that winter isnt over? This winter has been a complete dumpster fire, and the models are showing heat coming. It's time to put this pathetic overhyped winter to rest. What a waste of time.

Technically it not over and yes it warm up for 1-2 weeks but we still have 1-2 more chances. So gear up for disappointment again in a few weeks.

Let’s start a slam dunk thread for the 12 storm on GFSv3!? What could go wrong?? Let Brick start it
 
Hype is the key word here... in our society, it seems everything has to be hyped to the max, everything... think about it. Weather(severe and winter), politics, news, sports (greatest team of all time etc) Maybe it’s because we have so many things competing for our tiny attention spans, idk

Second time FFC has busted and had the city of Atlanta cancelled for rain. They need to be held accountable this is a joke. Schools out and nobody went to work for light rain.

To be fair most all NWS/Mets busted on this and good reason too tricky forecast where you only can go off of ever evolving model messes and then real time observation the day before and by then you've already had to pull trigger on something. We all know they would've been hammered look at last December in GA models/mets busted on the opposite side underdone totals and such people joked how off they were most didn't get their pitchforks because it did snow and were happy.

We had news cameras out in front of my kids school last December so they were trying to avoid that scenario again. We had over an inch before the buses even ran but in their stubbornness they held school. A couple of hours later we got a text for early release. Twenty minutes after that they announced they had moved up the early release. Twenty minutes later they announced the buses couldn't get out and that everyone would have to fend for themselves. It doesn't look good to call it for a rainstorm but it looks a helluva lot better than getting kids trapped at school

I don't think it's fair to throw the NWS under the bus for this event, I can understand last month's event because the writing was definitely on the wall a couple days out that nothing was likely going to happen, but this one was much more trickier and complicated with the uncertainty. Actually, the CAA behind the front was moving at a brisk rate then around 6am or so it just hit a brick wall and it's slowly crawling south and east now.

There job is to get the forecast correct, yet they are wrong literally almost every time in GA. They need to be held accountable for their failures.

2014: Snow jam, they said it was not gonna impact the city that bad. SMH
2016: Forecasted 4 inches for the city, ended up with inches of rain. ZERO frozen precip. SMH
2017: Forecast an inch for the city and maybe no accumulations due to temps. City gets about 5 inches and just NW record snowfall. SMH
2018: Forecast an inch an shutdown the city. City gets rain, not even close for snow.

This is inexcusable.
