Maybe it was Master of Disaster My memory isn't what it used to be in my youth

This sounds much more tame than your doomsday ice storm scenario from year's past. I vaguely remember you mentioning things like toilets not flushing because of power failure at wastewater treatment facilities and such. Maybe I am misremembering

I think @Eskimo Joe - outlined a emergency management nightmare scenario a few years ago as it pertained to ice. It was a true horrific narrative if I remember...

It could be a myriad of things. But also - things that are on like decadal cycles may be to blame. Consider that the modeling tends to be more stable at range for southern stream dominant systems. For many years now there has been a lot of northern stream influence - which the models objectively (not subjectively) are worse at predicting.

The data argues you are wrong. It could be that general patterns are more chaotic right now and that previously, models have KNOWN biases whereas now it's sort of just as likely to bust in any direction. But this opinion has been debunked plenty of times. The models were NOT more accurate 15 years ago.

The 18z GFS hasn't run yet...

Poor Wes

Omg...it gets earlier every year. I'll see how things look on Wed/Thursday lol.

Lots of folks on here seemingly are in need of other hobbies. Pick something! It will help you fill the time. I'll be the first to admit that having snow chances fade is really disappointing. In the past 2 months I've gone down the espresso/coffee rabbit hole. Trying a new latte/coffee drink recipe most mornings is a fun experience. Many of the folks on here are craft beer enthusiasts - indulge in that! I also plane spot where I get the chance, spend time with your pets/family/etc - do a big puzzle, grab a new video game. There are countless ways you can get lost in something new to pass the time until a snow threat becomes apparent. Or,...the less desirable option....if you work...lose yourself in the ho hum of the 9-5... It doesn't make the sting of missed snow chances any less...but it helps pass the time until a new threat emerges.

Ok

Eh - we all do it! Blame superstitious weenie-minds!

I get what you are saying but models have no impact on each other. The GFS is not "getting other ops to move towards it" - they don't talk and aren't interconnected. The only "trend" would be from id they are all in time figuring out the solution.

Gusty shower line to close out 2025? Friday AM?

The product is "Lightning flash density" and thus with lightning would come thunder!

Warning for ice would be 1/4 inch or more
