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.
First day of classes this evening, so that will be fun. Hopefully my last year before I get to start the fun weather classes next fall if everything goes well.
