Three failed extra point attemps in the first half. Someone explain to me that the NFL is not rigged...I'll wait

I cooked a Boston Butt on the big green egg for 8 hours. Just pulled it off. Got grilled corn and homemade slaw to go with it. Mack, come by and get a plate!

RGEM failed miserably on temps. It said I was at 31 while I sat at a balmy 37 before precip rolled in. Icon nailed total precip in the days before the storm and 3k nam nailed temps. I won't look back at this one and say "Man, the RGEM had this one pegged"

This is the GFS at 168. Hope it's not too far in the LR to get another lecturing. Anyway, Packbacker would love this look

Mack, you hate the pats that bad!? the only things I hate more than 33 degree rain are a stubbed toe, 3rd degree sunburn, and low-fat Mayonaise

Fist full of homemade boiled peanuts and a 12 pack of XX Ambar

Hey Mack, hope you didnt lose power this morning! I haven't looked outside but I'm assuming there's an inch of ice on the ground based on what the RGEM was showing yesterday! #3kFTW

CMC agrees

I'm really enjoying my non event here in the upstate. 32 degree rain is pointless when it's coming down in buckets

Do snow records go back that far? Which data base do you use? TIA

I'm feeling a 33 degree nothing burger on this one. Pingers at the onset and I'll call it a winter

That was an awesome list but don't forget "Rates will overcome"

If you like sushi, and a challenge, Hibachi Cafe on Laurens Road has AYCE hibachi & Sushi for around $20 and it's actually good food. Have at it. Eat yourself stupid. You won't want sushi again for at least 3 months

They still have all you can eat specials I believe. Not 100% but last time I went I had the perch and chicken AYCE. French fries and cold slaw. Ate myself sick, Mack

Im convinced the metal trays haven't been changed since the late 80's. Gives the fried fish and slaw a certain old school flavor

All of this bad talk about catfish in here is completely uncalled for. I'm not sure you should be allowed to comment in a Southern weather forum if you don't like fried catfish and hush puppies! C'mon Mack have you ever been to the Tadpole Fish Camp in Greer? Ohh myyyyy!!

In the main thread?

That's a great look. Those of us east of the mountains are almost solely dependant on a damming HP and with cold aplenty to our north it won't take much. Really need to develop some blocking here in the next 2-3 weeks. These blue anomaly maps won't do us much good once average temps begin to rise

Fraz, first off I think you're a great poster and asset to this weather forum. With that said, why have a long term Discussion if we can't talk about LR model output? Many posters (lurkers) do not know how to sort through or even find model information so I find it very helpful to post maps so people can get a sense of what's going on even if it's at the end of a model run. We've been waiting on the models to get a grip on the pattern change and now LR surface maps are starting to reflect that. This is supposed to be informative as well as fun. Sadly, many of you guys make it "not fun" at times Edit: I've followed this board since 09' so I'm not just a guy trying to stir the pot and insert my own will into the forum.

In what universe is model discussion, in any form, considered banter?

This one was right at hour 240. Just to be safe, I'm going to put it here in banter

Ok. But just to be clear at what hour is a map considered discussion and when is it considered banter. 240'ish cutoff?

If only that was 120 hours out. We all know the NW trend would commence and it would be another "Mainly north of I85" deal

Boom goes the dynamite
