Misc General Banter Thread

I posted earlier at 11:15 that the last one out of storm thread needs to turn off the lights. Inevitable, the american suite was in process of folding up shop. Never ride all those american models when they are on their own.

Man I just remembered that the model that led the way on the west trend in getting snow into East Tennessee first with the December 2017 storm was the Canadian.

I remember this because I took heat from Dave Tolleris because I said it performed better than any model and yet even tho he argued with me that model was the first to come way west.

DT is fun to listen to, but he isn't very good with humans.

Iā€™ve thought about this before tooā€¦ I sometimes wonder if theyā€™ve looked at the cost/benefit analysis (factoring in the cost of safety/deaths, govt spending on Natural Disasters vs the expense incurred by enhancing the GFS or investing in a better product altogetherā€¦.)

It just feels highly unlikely that this is our ā€œbestā€

Nothing in la-la land on the Euro at least.

We haven't even had a signifigant severe weather outbreak apart from Helene in a while. It feels a little boring at times, which I suppose is desirable after all.
 
Guys a good tip to always keep in mind with these; if the GFS is on an island showing a big dog... don't bite. If the NAM is on an island with a big dog... don't bite. Either of those by itself is nothing but a heartbreak waiting to happen; they are alone for a reason. Both of these happened over the past 2 days. If you took the bait don't beat yourself up, just learn and protect yourself the next time.

The best people probably donā€™t work for Uncle Sam. Give big tech government contracts to run these weather models and letā€™s see how they do.

Some of us are just hopeless Charlie Browns. I know this. Have for a long time.

But. Even now, I tell myself the same thing I told myself yesterday. I never listen. Cuz ā€œwhat ifā€? See yall tomorrow!
 
At least it's not gonna be a complete torch for the rest of the month, that's good.

CLT's snow climate is basically North Florida now so losing this storm sucks but won't be surprising if it indeed is lost.

Itā€™s a wrap! Winters over ! Itā€™s been real boys! šŸ¤˜
 
The 00z GFS was a gut punch. Luckily, I didnā€™t really start tracking this until yesterday. I just canā€™t track endless storms that donā€™t turn out for 7+ days anymore.
