Will never change in here. It's always been the chase, to a lesser degree the event. Anytime a widespread 1-2' occurs the IMBY complaints of not jacking are unfounded. I already know how much I'm getting 0.0" but it's the old stomping grounds Braintree, Arlington and the 100's of friends I weenie out on FB for.

Grew-up watching Jack Chase and Don Kent. Kent lived in N. Wey. Stood-out in the neighborhood because he had an anemometer rooftop. I once tried to visit him, must have been a bad day. Told me to screw! LOL The first true meteorologist, a giant, pioneer for many who followed. In his illustrious words. "Friday will be a weather breeder day."

Not too often does a storm like this one I think is going to occur. Maximizing every component, re: track, strength, barometric pressure, VV's off the scale, coverage, on and on. Think about it. Sure, they happen from time to time, tracked and forgotten always looking for the next. One analysis for that wrench that could possibly screw the IMBY. Well, this one could be a contender for Top Five of all-time.

Repeat after me- "PHASING AND TIMING" All together now, all together now. Clown maps are fun but at this range useless except maybe for the jack fetish amongst us and then post emotional attachment. Three days out they become somewhat useful i.e. HRRR, RGEM, and yes, the NAM. Signature for a CF is becoming clearer, but hey it's only a model output. Use the tools given.

I don't get the poo-poo-ing. Guess you need a dog in the fight to critique. The more it changes accuracy wise, (as the models turn) the more it's the same. Accept no control and you have control. Will never be an exact science; acceptance is the key. Contemplating a "road-trip" if only my health where better!

Slip-sliding away? Not necessarily, the players have yet to enter the playing field. WAY to MUCH emotional posts, (taken verbatim) is a weenie trait) do not fall onto that trap. The mean trough is still present, hgts upstream, downstream are going to fluctuate, strength of vorticity, orientation of trough axis will change. It's an OP model output. IMHO it's wrong especially with such lead-time. Relax, because nobody can control the chaos. It's only a threat, being something to track is better than nada.

Way out in la-la-land (outside of 3 days) the 00z GFS snow depth change maps have 2' amounts in SEMA. Now to get some consistency and agreement on models. Way overdue, increasing interest and threat.

I have to give credit to my elder sister (a teacher) who got me started at the grasshopper age of 6. I've forgotten most of what has been learned over the years. Florida is a bore with the exception of tropical season. Once in your blood it never just goes away.
