Its dumb to utilize anything exclusively and base a forecast off if it. They are tools, like everything else. CFS def. isn't my favorite climate model, though lol
Hope people realize that the "first frost fast approaching" thread starter was not an offering of met insight....just a general climo descent reference to kick the thread off. People seem to like pointing that comment out lol wasn't debating the warm October idea.
This is what I was getting at with my comment earlier about how this would be perfect in winter....the nuances of these situations tend to fluctuate a lot as we near verification, though.
Firstly, you need to take a few more courses if you don't understand that mesoscale convection plays a very prominent role in determining who enjoys the fruits of the atmosphere in the capstone events that we live for as winter enthusiasts. Secondly, the northeast coast is very averse to severe weather relative to the rest of the country due to the stabilizing influence of the ocean.
It's perfectly valid in this instance...I can see it with respect to claiming 8" of rainfall would be 80" of snow, but it's perfectly valid here...1-3' blizzard. I get it that ir you're but hurt and spew venom out your rear because SNE does snowfall better than severe, but get over it.
I feel left out? What the hell do I care... I'm in Africa. And obviously the south coast gets it worse, but there are plenty of hurricanes that were very memorable in my area...just none within the last 35 years.
I always listen to the sermons about why I should buy into to big wind impacts in my region, and time and time again, sell, sell, sell. It takes a very specific and rare set of circumstances and this isn't it.
I haven't followed this closely, but my guess is the outcome won't end up being anything extraordinary outside of potentially the immediate shoreline and the cape. I'm sure there will be plenty of extraordinary gust maps posted by the usual cast.
