It’ll probably be the last Redington rod I buy. I love it and don’t want to be disappointed with their products going forward anymore than I already have. Since they were bought out, quality has plummeted and they no longer have the amazing warranty of years past.

I know that put a bend in the rod. Nice catch!

What’d you go with? I got a butter stick as a gift about 2 years ago and it’s by far my favorite rod.

This storm is onshore. 12z should have quite a bit of real-time data ingested. If a trend or reversal is going to happen, that’ll be the opportunity.

Who’s ready for fishing season? I guess any time is the time to fish but man am I looking forward to wetting the line with the crickets singing at 8 pm. Hoping to do some smallmouth fishing this spring below the gorge and catch some channel cat in the lake. I’ve mostly been a fly fisherman for years but bought a new baitcaster last summer and trying to get used to it.

The storm isn’t lost, it’s just squashed like an ant under your shoe. You’re just seeing a surface reflection of what happens when your northern stream dominates like the 96 bulls. We’ll watch for ticks in the positive direction in the upper levels but for now, anyone west of RDU is getting CPR. Between RDU and the coast….watch out. Sweet spot is going to possibly end up where the ponies play (Currituck).

It’s either lost at sea or it discovered treasure .

@PackGrad05it cut totals pretty much across the board with exception of a small section of the coastal plain to Virginia Beach.

6z euro is…not pretty

Really had high hopes for this one too. Stinks. I’ll have some unpleasant commentary when we get socked into a wet and cool pattern this spring while folks east hit 80.

Alright. Just need a 250 mile shift in about 2 days to jackpot.

For sure. I have a ton of respect for GSP - that’s why I said I would like to have heard some of those conversations that led to the decision given the guidance - wasn’t questioning their thought’s themselves. Would’ve been nice to be a fly on the wall as a weather nerd.

About 51 when I was out there with 40 mph gusts. Felt a lot colder than the actual temp. We had a weird isolated shower hours after the main line and we were well on our way to warmth but that set midday heating way back locally.

I think the track is pretty baked in at this point imo. We need to root for earlier phasing or just an undermodeled precip shield.

I’d be curious to hear the chatter in the room when making this because not a single ounce of guidance supports this west of 77. .

Miserable cold and windy weather this evening. Count me in for a warm spring.

It’s got as much of a chance going NW as Hubert has to return to UNC next year

PULL THE PLUG.

We just need the HRRR to save us now

I’m nervous anywhere west of 95 imo. Take that as you will because I’m genuinely not trying to sound trollish, but that northern stream is crushing the system

Not very

I was just coming here to say this. GSP was chicken noodle soup for the soul this afternoon with their disco. They are sticking with a potential warning level event. My point forecast says “90% chance of heavy snow” on Wednesday.

Can confirm on this side of the apps - brutal trends! Just been a tough few years for us in the Lee. It’s been since Dec 2018 that this area has had a classic Miller A thumping. After Helene, I was hoping Mother Nature would reward the area with a good treat this winter but I have to remind myself that’s not how weather works.

As @wncsnowput it, atmospheric memory seems to be a thing.

Problem is - over the past few days, we’ve leaned back into some of our bad habits from this winter. Northern stream dominated energy instead of the juicy southern stream predictions yesterday and prior. It’s a completely different storm in that regard and that cold press is stronger and stronger with each model run. There’s certainly a benefit to the latter - you get less WAA, but you also play a dangerous game of watching it vanish. I remember the gulf coast storm originally being a lower Tennessee valley event.
