Man, the Eastern Shore is gonna be so surprised when they get that 2 feet of snow!

No, I'm making fun of your map, lol. Hope that helps clear things up! Since I never expected snow from this system, I have no real feelings about it whatsoever.

Partly lasers with a 40% chance of scattered sparkles?

Fascinating stuff. You should head on over to the Tennessee Valley forum and update them immediately on this big news.

It's Chuck. It has nothing to do with how well you articulate something. It's like getting frustrated because the moose isn't putting together the IKEA cabinet you wrote the instructions for. No matter how clear you make em, it's still a moose and it's still just gonna keep doing moosey things.

Dude. Post less, read more.

An OP run changes 7-10 days out and that’s your bar? LOL…

“After looking at the kuchy I can push it to 60” @ravensrule that’s your music, bud.

At this point I think you’re just trolling with this schtick.

I shoveled during the storm, but I’m not sure how much difference it made in the end. I think I probably ended up expending more energy than if I’d just shoveled once, but the bright side I guess is that I was able to drive out the morning after the storm without re-shoveling the driveway. Car handled 4 inches of compacted sleet just fine. When I got around to actually shoveling (like you, that meant breaking it up and THEN shoveling) was when I started second-guessing my choices, hehe.

Not crapping on it at all - it was a super fun event. At least for where I am, my back is still reminding me that I shoveled majority sleet, hehe. The 4 or so inches of sleet easily felt like it weighs double or triple the 7 inches of snow did, that's for sure.

1. The last storm WAS majority sleet - both by duration and by QPF. Is that not clear to you? 2. Several Charlotte suburbs have gotten more snow (already) from this storm than I've gotten IMBY in Towson in a DECADE. So please, spare me the "some parts have the region have gotten ___ inches of sweet powder" nonsense. If Southern MD and Northern VA get smacked, I'm happy for them - but that doesn't change the reality for a huge portion of this board.

Atlanta getting 3 feet is 100% realistic, though.

LOL - facts aren't opinions. It consistently IS the best model. That's an objective fact backed by years of study and data collected and analyzed by people who gace forgotten more about weather than you or I will ever know. Go look it up. Educate yourself a little. Does that mean it's ALWAYS right? Of course not. Hopefully you're able to grasp that distinction - but at this point I have some doubts. And if your "opinion" is based on nothing more than vibes and nonsense, as yours happens to be in this case, it's connection to "the truth" is about as tenuous as your understanding of how to assess weather models. You can have the "opinion" that the earth is flat - that is absolutely your right. But you'd still be wrong. Comically so. Just as you are here.

There’s plenty of hyperbole on here about the GFS. And yet, I’ve read similarly hyperbolic and silly comments from you about the Euro. Pretending otherwise or acting as if you’re just some level-headed bastion of objectivity is comically absurd. The fact is that the Euro is consistently the best model - and yet YOU consistently shit on it, often using some oddly sourced IMBY-based critique that isn’t remotely relevant. Regardless, I don’t wanna derail the long term thread, so I’ll let this be my last word on the matter.

I suspect a more compelling response would have been to reply to the substance of his post (and the glaringly different model loops). You went with “ignore that substance and say ‘I always tell the truth’l instead. A bold choice, lol.

I’d love to conduct a similarly obsessed breakdown of the Sox roster, but unfortunately I just don’t care enough about them to do so.

As a lifelong O's fan, this makes no sense whatsoever since we look loaded this year, but sure?

Maybe! I haven't heard either way. I don't go into the PA forum and talk a lot of smack or accuse them of things when they get snow and we don't, so that might have something to do with it. Like I alluded to, I'm sure the vast majority of Richmond posters are delightful and it's just the vocal ones disproportionately represented, but unfortunately that's been my experience. Haven't had that with literally any other region/location, north, south, or otherwise.

Meh, I always enjoy when Richmond gets screwed. With apologies to any lovely Richmond posters I'm sure are out there, it just seems like every interaction I have with someone from there on these boards is characterized by a vocally aggressive chip on their shoulder and a kind of pushy reverse arrogance where they sneer at the rest of the forum. Much like Boston baseball fans, who collectively went from lovable and knowledgeable lovers of the game to Patriots-style d-bags after the Bosox won a couple titles.

What does the AI version of the Farmer's Almanac have to say?

LOL - you continue to have a weird fixation with the Euro not being good. It was neither "wrong about the predominant precipitation type" nor was it "wrong about the total qpf." It was actually, all things considered, one of the best performing models with last weekend's system. That doesn't mean it's always right or perfect - no model is - but the criteria you are using to claim a poor performance is simply absurd. Did it get every detail correct? Most assuredly not. But it was "more right" and for longer, with less wavering, than basically any other model I can think of. The only way it performed poorly is if you look at it through the lens of someone looking at Kuchera snow maps and amateur snow weenie eyes and say "Y d1Dnt i GeT mY l6 incherz1?!!?" Like the other globals, it was a little slow on the changeover because mid-level thermals aren't really the wheelhouse of those models. But if you could have only picked one model leasing up to the last storm (which, to be clear, you shouldn't do) the Euro was clearly the best.

I understand why, but it doesn’t make it any easier to stomach that we have a 970s bomb exploding off of Hatteras and a historically cold airmass entrenched over us and we are gonna miss out. Just been a tragic decade for snow in Central Maryland. Sigh.
