Misc 2020/21 Fall and Winter Whamby Thread

WRAL said a dusting to 2 inches. I think they took the easy way out and just covered their butts. It seems like no one knows what will happen when it comes to winter weather around here. It's getting just as bad with forecasting thunderstorms, too. With all the technology we have, it seems the models and accuracy with forecasting anything but sunny and dry or plain rain is getting worse instead of better.

I think RAH had just T-1” for Wake County, to be fair, but yeah.

Looking around at the webcams this morning and wow there's so much snow that didn't stick around, even all through the mountains in GA. Well, onto the next potential.

A dusting to 2" will likely be right on the money. That doesn't mean everyone gets 2" but it sounds like you expect to win the lottery every time you play.

Just saying there's a big difference between a dusting and 2 inches. Just seems like a way to be right no matter what happens.

It's close for us this evening and should be fun/painful to watch. Gotta like the band of fgen extending back over us this evening but we are going to be waiting for enough caa to flipView attachment 64245

That was the legitimate range of possibility, expecting them to nail it down to the exact inch is unrealistic

Would you be making this same complaint if the forecast was 6-12?

Can I answer that for him?

That's even worse.

So.... You would rather them say wake forest is going to get .99467 inches of snow then if it's a T or 2 its a bust?

I thought this was the complaining thread.

It is but at least wait until the system is over before you complain and try to at least have some merit to your complaint.... also don't make post that are similar in other threads.

I thought this was the complaining thread.

I'm just trying to understand the rationale behind being mad about total ranges #1 and #2 why you are already saying today is a bust when you are a good 8-10 hours away from it starting here

 

[Brick Tamland]

So now we have rules about what and when we can complain in the thread for complaining?

 

[Rain Cold]

Expecting to be able to know if an exact spot gets .05" of rain or .2" of precipitation hours or days in advance is ridiculous.

Same as the rules about discussing others' complaints I guess

 

[SD]

Look at how the HRRR distributes the precipitation tonight in the banding on the backside






You have to give ranges here because even just across wake county you might have areas of .3 and others at .1 over this 4 hour window, in a 6:1 ratio world that's the difference between essentially a dusting and 2 inches

Party in here this morning. The 12z models will come in for the final kick in the nuts.
