This is a dumb question even by my standards, but what is the fourth of the big four? Euro, GFS, CMC are no brainers but I'm blanking on the last one for some reason

Even the Euro is on board. Let's see how long this lasts.

Chi crew is stealing that blizzard

Aren't airborne debris a major part of this type of metal deformation? Or does that not even matter unless you're talking a tornado strong enough to do it manually?

I wonder what it would take to get one of those cute clippers to stop by on the 24th

So generally speaking, what does the most damage to a structure when a tornado hits it? Would it be flying debris or the winds themselves?

substance-lacking post but this stuff is seriously just nuts to think about. I wonder how much energy is required to tear apart reinforced concrete like that... Or move two hundred ton rail cars and stuff. It is actually insane to think that the atmosphere is capable of producing such a concentrated release of energy

Nah nah nah, none of this even makes sense. Dispense with all of this sciencey shit and look at the cold hard facts: this entire season so far, there's always been a fantasy storm being modeled in the 240+ range. Now there isn't. Two and two guys, come on. Real talk, I'm willing to bet my Christmas gifts that some sort of event of some kind will arise in the Christmas week timeframe by this Saturday

Honestly I'd almost be fine with that. Better than the alternative

Showed my old man -a locomotive engineer- the footage of that CSX train that got dunked on and I think he has a newfound respect for naders now

Some serious drought busting going on in Naperville

That's what I'm saying. Especially since it's Christmas right after, I'm not getting my hopes up, even as a weenie. And yeah, it's a tragedy that the next warmup is gonna be stratus purgatory rather than beautiful sun

Now to see if this one actually holds together for 250 hours. Seeing how the last twelve have gone...

Lost in Space, Cobby Costa

Too bad it's gonna be dark at 2pm so any chance of watching is non existent

Number 20 will never stop amusing me

So what you're saying is...

If it could only snow an inch or two for Christmas I'm fine with it if it never snows again this season

It would be really boss if that could slow down enough to make it be 60+ on Friday.

First we need to hope that the current storm keeps baby stepping consistently south for the next fifteen runs.

Looks like something's still on the table at this point for this weekend, but where it might set up is anyone's guess.

That's my bad, I actually meant years, not weeks. Oopsies.

I get why it's probably frustrating for the learned individuals among us to listen to the rest of us circle jerking over shit that never ends up happening, but I gotta be honest: even if it's the realistic approach, I just can't bring myself to take the constant torch/WAD/doomsday talk to heart. I'm sure it used to be different, but as long as I've been on this forum, the shit that isn't supposed to deliver stands just as much of a chance at working out as the real potentials. Can't tell you how many times over the last few weeks alone people have been vaguely hyping up an upcoming pattern change as the potential engine behind a real storm, only for nothing to happen. The odds are always 90% that nothing will happen, but if we actually acted like that was the case, this forum would be deader than our chances of a white Christmas.

Find it a funny meme that LOT is mentioning systems for next weekend already given the propensity for every modeled storm to f uck off inside of 150 hours this year
