Misc Cold Season Complaining

I still can’t believe this happened a global inside day 4…our lives will never be the same

Honestly, I think the Euro AND EPS head fake is what took me for a ride. Made a full on fool out of myself because I was sure that 00z data ingest would hold seeing as how we were inside D5. I mean what do you take away from that? Even ECMWF and EPS agreement inside D5 is useless. Not really sure what you do with that. The EPS has been just about as bad as the GEFS with this event and the only thing worse is the CMC and GEPS. Nothing left other than the stupid EC AI, which wasn't that great either IMO.

We need a psychologist to evaluate this board. I’m genuinely curious what mental condition we all have in common. Or what personality trait we all share. There’s something
I think it’s the same thing as rooting for a bad sports team annually, genuinely

Yeah that was some dirty sh**. I’ve never let the Euro/EPS take me for a ride like that. The head fake was compounded because it looked like a cave to the Canadian. We were at a good lead time too. Man

Maybe it's like gambling; you know you're most likely to lose, even painfully, but there's that breath of a hope that reimds you of that one time, long ago, when you actually won, and now your endorphins won't let you quit chasing it again.

Well I am a Gamecock, so there's that!
 
how do you see the precipitation type for the ensemble members on the college of dupage site? i can see the type of precip on my phone but can only see the precip accumulation on my computer.
I think it’s the same ish way. Go to the model select the area and it should be on the left side under the winter weather drop down bar

It’s funny you say that because I read this years ago and it makes a lot of sense:

“When you gamble, your brain releases dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter that makes you feel excited. You'd expect to only feel excited when you win, but your body produces this neurological response even when you lose.”
 
What’s funny to me is that this is supposed to be some “pipe bursting” Arctic cold that pushes the storm track too far south, but Charlotte isn’t even forecast to get down to 15 degrees. But New Orleans and Destin are jackpotting anyway. I mean, what gives?

AKA addiction. Welcome fellow addicts.

Agree. Some record arctic blast and temps will barely be 20 with highs in the 30s. How is any of that record breaking? Maybe wind chill but not actual temps.

There closer to the low and are cold enough. Moisture is snow in this event.

Maybe it’s a good thing we don’t get many winter storms in the south

It would be a Royal Rumble in here every week, well more than it already is
 
This doesn’t exist in Raleigh or even in any town within 60 miles of Raleigh at this point … traffic is less too


Please tell us what the property tax would be? I'm sure any savings in the home would be made up by the taxes.

All y'all wanting those regional threads without all those pesky* NC folks. Well. Here’s why it’s a bad idea.

Sorry to all the newbies who are still maybe in the game for something. Wish I could pick up the slack, but I just put money down on a brand new house (under contract). I’m banned from all unnecessary spending. No subscriptions, so no models to post.

*I don’t feel they’re pesky. I was really hoping that after getting lucky last storm and if I missed out, this one would hit my fellow snow starved brothers and sisters in the carolinas (and elsewhere). But happy for y’all far south folks who will get to experience the magic of dihydrogen monoxide in its solid state! Look forward to pics of it in the most unexpected places!

This is Hell absolute pure torture …. 10-12” Forecast in parts of Louisiana.

We got snow the Friday before last so I really don’t have a ton to complain about in the grand scheme of things but this past threat may have been the biggest disappointment I’ve ever experienced in regards to winter weather. We had more consistency and more big model runs then I think I have ever had and we may not even see a flake now.
 
The thing I think I hate the most is that even if the models were all in agreement and running major SE snowstorms today there is still a legit chance we would eff it up and trend to a minor event like this in the last 24-36 hrs or so, it happens all to often....what never ever happens is the opposite except in a few rare occasions. I cant think of a single time they forecast 2-3" and I ended up with 6-8" etc. but I cant count the times it went the other way. I guess the upside is at this point I expect a inch or so at best so I wont be disappointed when I get nothing.
Jan ‘22 in Raleigh I feel like was forecasted to be max 3”, just kept coming down in our area and I think we measured 5”

The fact that the models were all in agreement if a major snowstorm at a decent timeframe is what got me. I mean everyone was saying how they rarely see them all in agreement under 300 hours. Then it all went to 🔥
