Nice to see but the American models have been atrocious lately. Still let’s reel it in….

Has American models finally woke up…..

I like it!

Good gracious. The American models are should I say awful lately.

I have enjoyed this warmup. It definitely made taking down the outdoor lights easier. This time tomorrow it will be a 40 degree swing. That’s gonna hurt. Also I’m noticing the temps are trending downward in the forecast. Add to that days of precip. I noticed the CPC has the longer term ABOVE precip chances putting the bullseye on TN.

Great analysis & discussion in here today. Like always really. Thank you to all contributing! Let’s reel in the cold enough air for a statewide snowwwwww!!! I say cold enough because I do not won’t any suppression where the beaches get snow. Lol.

Where we want it is usually what we say.

I just feel like so much has been added/programmed into these models such as all these new teleconnections & polar vortex & who knows what else, that the models are a jumbled mess. I feel forecasts were much more accurate in the 70’s-90’s. Of course adding the amount of hours they go out to does cause verification scores to decrease. Also adding the 10-15 days forecast sure does not help. If I remember correctly, 5 days was the most back in those years. Honestly it would probably be a good thing if the wx offices did not release the 240+ hours to the public. Actually 120 hours is sufficient. I know I’m wrong saying that, I just feel we have made forecasting much harder than we should. Some of these models need to be axed. Like the ole DGEX model. How I wish we could go back to simpler times.

Sunbathing wx. Lol! John always brings the positive lols.

To me it has been a windy 2025. Glad I don’t wear a toupee. Lol

Bipolar weeklies at that.

We did half yesterday & the rest today. Time to enjoy some R&R but also try to kill a mole or moles in my yard. Also do paperwork. Owning my own business means end of year taxes. Which my brother the CPA is asking for lol.

My apologies. I always thought it was a clipper.

I will try & find it. It was early 2000’s because my wife & I had moved into our first house. As matter of fact we bet who could build the best snowman. She was actually pregnant with our son. Of course I won the best snowman contest. Lol. Just don’t ask her for proof. lol. So it was between 2000-2003. My son was born in June of 2003. Found it.

I remember that 1994 ice storm. I remember the green lights all over from the transformers blowing. The trees in my yard were toast. Was hard to watch them breaking into pieces. I love the outdoors & nature. I pray we never see an ice storm in these parts ever again.
