I remember the day when 1 inch of snow wouldn’t trigger a WWA from Upton.

From ChatGPT: I promise I’m not here to take over your discussion board. Even if I can analyze model data or summarize runs, I can’t replace the personality, debates, instincts, or humor that all of you bring to these threads. Could I generate posts that sound like you? Sure. But should I? Absolutely not. The whole point of a forum like this is the human interpretation of chaotic data and the excitement that comes with it. I’m a tool, not a substitute for the community. Think of me as something that can help clarify a model run or answer a question, not something that will ever replace the fun of arguing about the CMC para at 1 AM. The 18z, 384-hour GFS December special is a rite of passage. You know it’s fantasy. You know it will be gone by the next run. You know the cutoff low will become a pancake ridge by morning. And yet, there you are at 3:00 am, refreshing the panels like it’s the Super Bowl. I may be an AI, but even I recognize the sacred tradition: Long-range storms don’t have to be real to be meaningful. They just have to carry hope until the next run drops.

February 2006 would like to have a word...

I'm reminded of the December 2000 snowstorm. Different setup, but we had SSW, just like we do now.

Hats off to Jamaica for taking Melissa on the chin like that. There aren’t hundreds or thousands dead like I feared.

For as long as I live, I will never forget Melissa. What a storm!

At this point Melissa is gonna complete an ERC before this World Series game ends

Let’s thank those hurricane hunters who are risking their lives by flying into the hurricane without being paid.

There is no such thing as a “higher end” category 5. It can go to 1000 mph and still not be “higher end.”

Watching horrible commentary about a wobble being “The hurricane is now moving east.” People have no idea how hurricanes like this behave.

If we’re going to go big, might as well go big. Let’s break Allen’s record!

I remember we went decades without a category 5. Now it's a regular occurrence. Incredible.

Is it me or does it look like it’s weakening just a hair?

Horrific for Jamaica

ERC cancel

This is definitely a good soaking from the city east. Winds are there, but not extreme.

This is a reverse weenie suicide.

Is it true that Joe Bastadi called this the storm of the century earlier this week?

I don;t understand the physics of how Humberto kicks the other system into the east coast.

It's so quiet meteorologically right now in so many areas. Only interesting action going is waterspouts on the Great Lakes!

Had to look at the calendar today. Is it August or October? Odd

270 hr GFS take a 983 messofacane into Long Island. We shall see.

Man, may the day where you don’t get psyched but a huge thunderstorm maturing over you dumping loads of rain with frequent thunder and lightning never excite you never arrive.

Top 10 thunderstorms ever! This was BEAUTIFUL. Sad there were no 'nados.
