I remember I was feeling it...I had already made a blog post that was headlined "Severe Winter Storm Likely Around of Just Before Christmas" on the 15th...then went silent until the next on 12/21 "Mild & Rainy Friday Before Slight Storm Threat Just After Christmas".
Brutal to walk that back.
I'll never forget the GEM was the first model to catch on to that December 2022 system phasing with the PV lobe and going west just before Xmas....I laughed at it and dismissed initially, but of course it nailed that.
I worried when I saw it was Wiggum bc he seems to like to try to be the first to report on perceived trends at hour 6, so he can copy and paste the post to his 13 social media accounts
