Don't be too stressed, in a few years winters will be too hot for even chickweed to survive. Saguaro cactus will be the new invasive species in the garden.
Don't sweat it. GFS has the 300hr storm in play. The storm(4) after the storm(3) after the storm(2) after the storm(1). Crocuses will wither at the threat.
It's bad enough to have to sort out differences between the various crap models but we also have to deal with biases between different companies interpreting the same data from each individual model? There's no rest from the onslaught in this profession.
I don't understand this. The WB version of that map shows me with like 4" of snow but TT shows 20" of snow. Does WB not include sleet and TT does? Calvert county getting 16" of sleet? I'll take the 35" for Garret County though.
That's not too abnormal, you'll often see them during a stretch of mild winter weather. Now if you see a cecropia moth flying in to your porch light then it's another story...
I read in one of my weather textbooks that modeling at distance is such a crapshoot because even something like a tiny rounding difference between two identical initializations in the computer can extrapolate to completely different outcomes in the long range.
Warm atlantic is always a poor excuse of non snow...if the track is good and we have strong hp...it will snow
Clearly. I got almost 15" from that storm last winter. Atlantic is still warm though.
You know for the snow totals competition thread I was gonna jokingly post up all zeroes for my predictions as a but I held off at the last minute. I shoulda posted it up, I'd have been a savant.
