Society of people that can't be satisfied and rather complain about everything. Issue the warning, nothing happens - complain: don't issue the warning, ice storm hits - complain: issue the warning and get major ice storm - complain it was worse or not as bad or something. They are in a lose lose situation honestly

Remember when last weekend's storm looked like a huge snow storm on the models 4 to 5 days out and then it completely changed 3 to 4 days out?

Society and Politicians started creating victims in the mid-to-late sixties, It's been big business ever since. If you have to ask what this means or want to argue about it....you're most likely a victim.

Hopefully the Euro, Canadian, Euro AI WeatherNext hold strong, and to a lesser degree the GFS.
ICON is right where we want it at this juncture, right? Right???

Icon isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s just for entertainment purposes. Example: here’s what it showed for big ice storm we just had at the same lead time.
This last storm exhausted me. I’m not looking forward to the one this weekend.or should I say the supposed storm this weekend. Winter just all around sucks in my area anymore and clearly not much is going to change.
I’m convinced the YouTube and X videos that these guys post are about little more than $. Do they love weather? Yes. Do they hype up storms for more views and likes and $? Hell yes.

Shows how to fail though. Cow fart away from nothing for anybody. I’d argue the goalposts are narrow for this one. Especially for western piedmont.
I wonder...
If you had two experienced meteorologists, gave one access to ALL models and gave the other access to ONLY AIFS-ENS and WeatherNext2.. which would be more accurate? Which would more fully and effectively communicate potential threats/scenarios?

Anybody got a observation report for Twisters totals from the weekend storm. Wonder how he faired down his way.

Haha I'm trying to figure out which model the one TV station in the state didn't fall for the 2 feet here last week

Praying the models shows something for us western folks soon before winter is over
I wish I could unsee the last few model runs I've seen. There is no way anything like that will happen.

I'm having flashbacks to here last week haha
I was losing sleep over the Euro. I'm not kidding

Honestly don’t know how to feel about that CMC run. It’s hard to come back to reality

Super stupid question here.. do the budget cuts for NWS and other services, plus less weather balloon launches affect just our GFS? … or all models?

Euro was a banger, Canadians just said hold my beer

I think they widened up some after the GFS and CMC runs.
Now 2-4" is going to feel like a letdown.

Comes with kung fu grip and model analysis!

Remember, they're also the ones that published GraphCast which evolved into AIFS. They are the ones that keep innovating.
I’m glad yall got this over with early! It’s a wrap! No more sleepless nights!
stop the count
1) Balloon launches - There's likely little effect to begin with. We saw no measurable reduction in model accuracy during the time when there were the fewest balloon launches. Models use way more than just balloon data to assimilate upper air data. And NOAA just launched their latest SOTA satellite (GOES-19) which goes a long way.
2) Budget cuts - what budget cuts? There have been no budget cuts to NWS. There have been staffing shortages at times in warning forecast offices, but this doesn't affect model accuracy.
3) If there were some kind of reduction in accuracy as a result of reduced balloons, it would affect all models.. since they all assimilate the same balloon data.
Your question isn't stupid at all, it is just driven by misinformation pushed by political figures.

I need someone like Widreman to bring be back to earth. Somebody pinch me.
We can only go down from here. Think I need to take a break for a day or two.
The public is totally not going to believe this considering they heard we were getting 12-18" this past weekend at this lead time.

Well. Can’t say I’m feeling good for Atlanta on this one.
But ”Nothing” looming over you sure as hell beats the nightmare ice storm apocalypse! I have a new perspective after the first time I’ve ever been grateful that a winter storm didn’t deliver.
This is actually fun again!

remember, in model chasing, the key is to always follow the model with the worst reputation if it shows snow; if it shows no snow, it is wrong!
i remember what the canadian did last year, and the year before that, and that, and that
better not ignore the ukmet; it was not bad way early on with the last event
