Now, if I were to extrapolate the 12z Euro, I would think that the fantasy storm would have a bit more snow further south than what the 18z GFS has.
I’m just trying to stay entertained until the real winter hopefully shows up.
I don’t see what the historical data about storms landfalling in Tampa has to do with a storm today making landfall in Tampa. I don’t know if the data the models use is even that specific. I highly doubt it. I also don’t know if data that old would be effective anyways, as there are likely gaps in it because of unknown things at the time.
I agree that a hurricane may cause deaths more directly, but snow causes plenty of deaths too. A single snowflake won’t do it sure. But someone who needs to shovel that snow could die from a heart attack. People who have no choice but to go to work could die on the way there. It depends where you live for sure too.
