Not sure if those are rain or snow values, could be either. Smh.

No I didn't forecast -10F on all the anomalies so JB banned me from working at WB.

I wonder which models they use - since it's an entire month I assumed it was the long range models. Whichever three it was they should just pay me their dev fees and I'll spit out random number that'll be more accurate. The secret is no matter what the pattern looks like to just guess positive on the anomalies. Almost a guaranteed lock.

What the fuq. I just got the results of the WB December forecast competition. I was in the top 25% of entries...beat almost half the models and 33% of WB's professional forecasters. If that doesn't tell you what kind of scam this industry is then nothing will. I don't even drink and I still think I was drunk when I made my entries. "Congratulations on ranking 19 out of 72 competitors in WeatherBELL's December Forecast Competition! You've shown impressive skill in long-range weather forecasting, beating 3 out of 7 models and 2 out of 6 members of the WeatherBELL team!"

I'm pretty sure I know what it's going to be telling us.

I don't know why I allowed myself to have any hope for this storm. Like I haven't learned this lesson like 45 times over the years. Looking at the 10-day forecast on my WeatherBug app is more accurate than watching the models ..

That's ones a heartbreak down here.

12Z for the win baby!

Well that is a nice morning surprise.to start out the New Year. Good to see the R/S line shifting SE with each run as of late. Still need to see another couple shifts for MBY but I might have to put the snow blade.on the muck truck today just to be ready.

Same here, 2016 was kinda meh, at least as much as a 12" storm can be meh. Dec 2009 ftw in my 20yrs in SoMD. Of course LES snow in Michigan during my childhood was on another level...but that's not the same.

Barcelona's boundary? Is that near Short Pump?

Man I feel WB is running their models on an old Pentium chip, these panels take forever.

Udderly the most severe looking period I've seen on the models in decades.

JB has been lashing out at model runs recently which is always a bad sign. And this morning in a post he laid the groundwork for his forecast fail. "Just be glad you got to live through an epic period for snow storms". This might actually be a good contrarian signal for us.

Last night it was the bug zapper...this morning I noticed one of my hanging petunias is still holding on. I'm rooting for it.

I'm on my back patio and the bug zapper light is on and it legit just zapped a bug two days before January.

Chalk it up to another thing the Internet has ruined

Sun angle already increasing. Only a matter of time.

Unless things turn around I think it's the motto for this winter. The Udder Disaster Winter

Lol that sums it up, time for a glass of milk.

We need a larger continent.

There's hope for you yet!

Anecdotal.... We have started the process to build our cabin on Meadow Mountain next to DCL. We own the land already so it'll be build only. Planning on a relatively modest A-frame at this point. So far the process has been relatively painless. We have the concept and the architect has started work on construction drawings. We are deciding between two builders at this point. Goal is to begin construction in March and be completed by the holidays next year. So far all guidance is that this is doable. I'll build deadline penalties into the builder contract to keep them motivated, and we are doing everything with cash already on hand so maybe that helps too. So far we're being quoted around $220/sqft. That's build only - like I said we already own the land. Big variable will be cost to get electric from the nearest pole to the POE.

Now we know where JB is getting his "coldest since the pleistocene" call from.

Triggered!!!! This is a deb safe space, be gone with your treachery and polyanna ways!
