What I don't understand is why actual pros push maps to the public based strictly on the GFS. It makes zero sense.
Until you think about the fact that they are just yellow journalists at this point.
I love how I saw some sensationalist Accuweather article about a "huge storm" about to hit, come here, and see that it's already deteriorated.
Weather media is desperate for eyeballs.
I rescind my comments about this being a bust. But in my defense I've never experienced a sleet storm that can actually accumulate with any semblance of significance. This is wild.
Hoping we can keep the ZR at bay!
This is by far the best sleetstorm I've ever experienced. Way better than 2017 NYC, and not just because that was a busted mega-HECS.
The rates are almost better than the snow from this morning. Absolutely dumping.
I'm sure I'm missing something but I don't see that. Here's what I'm using. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0C-1-24-100-usa-rad
Yes the growth is awful. We're not going to get near forecast totals. At least it's beautiful out, and we're not going to flip to rain (famous last words).
Rates are very good but the growth and ratios aren't great. Not knowledgeable enough to know exactly why but maybe midlayer temps. Could still be 1" an hour though.
Wow it's so cold the radar's blue all the way down to North Carolina. You can only see it on the pinger.
