I was in 10th grade for the incredible February 2010 and genuinely one of the biggest regrets of my life to this point was not capturing enough memories from it. I have no pictures.
Even 2016 to a certain extent. I have a few pictures from that, but nothing compared to what I’d have now if an event like that happened. About 6 years ago I started a weather journal where I write every little detail from events I’d like to remember later in my life. I also take an obnoxious amount of pictures and videos whenever there’s any winter event. Unfortunately we haven’t had any to write home about since I started that, but I will not miss the mark the next opportunity we get!
Made the mistake of getting on Twitter and seeing nothing but Webb and a bunch of other southern weather personalities going on and on about how the AI models have no grasp on how strong that High is going to be and once they pick up on it, this is all coming south. Someone intelligent in here please tell me they’re being somewhat biased lol
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this start to the 0z suite. Amped and suppressed. Then there’s something to be found in the middle. It’ll be a problem when the majority of the models start trending in the same *wrong* direction. Until then, it’s all still on the table.
This is a great thread. Sometimes I feel bad because I just don’t have the intellect to analyze a pattern or break things down the way many of you can. The special thing is that this is a place accepting of all skill levels and all people. To every one of you who helps contribute to this being an accepting place, thank you!
The one thing we all share is our passion for this hobby. We all express that passion in different ways and at the end of the day that’s what makes this place great.
Webb was repeating a few times earlier that setups like this trend NW pretty much all the way up to the finish line almost every time. He was focused on the Carolinas, but it seems relevant, if he’s right.
You make very good points and I do take back my stance on that. At the end of the day, if I’m overwhelmed by the emotion, I have the option to not partake, or just mute certain accounts. I appreciate the discussion!
What I’m currently having trouble understanding is if you read what I actually said. I said clearly in that reply that there’s absolutely a place for all that and that the current thread should not go away. I just think it would be nice to have a separate thread just with the pros so people can have the option to get less biased analytical breakdowns.
I’d never suggest shutting down anyone’s voices in here. Seeing all the weather enthusiasts come together is a great thing. I apologize if my opinion came across like I was wanting to shut certain people up in here. I guess it just gets exhausting coming into the analysis thread to see it be overwhelmed by emotional reactions a lot of the time. I will take your advice and just start muting the accounts that tend to clog it up the most with that stuff.
Came here to say this exact thing. Bias gets involved for most in here, even some of those who really know their stuff. I think it’s fine to have a thread like this where people can give their analysis but also express emotional reactions. It would just be really nice to have one thread that’s JUST analysis without all the added noise.
I don’t know how you all feel about Webb. In my time following him, it seems like he’s been about as informed and accurate as anyone I’ve come across. So him saying this does feel like a massive sucker punch.
Yeah I’m just a tad to the northeast of you. Unless things drastically pick up in the next few hours, I won’t get more than an inch or two on cold surfaces. Pavement caved 2 and a half hours ago and still just has a light coating. It’s been snowing consistently but it’s been light and it’s seemingly just not really adding up much at all.
