I read an article in the NYT recently that said that the recovery effort cost the government $140 Billion. The gist of the article was how little there is to show for it as so much of the money went to politically connected consultants and the government bureaucracy that wasted it either through incompetence or outright fraud and corruption.

The GFS is totally on an island. I could not find even 1 of its own ensembles that even comes close to that solution much less any of the operational runs from any of the other models.

Philadelphia's official measurement for snow is done across the Delaware River from the airport in National Park NJ. That particular spot is not really representative of the Phila area or for that matter most of Phila itself. That could have something to do with the low official measurements.

If you don’t want a US hit then you want the TC to form as early as possible as stonger storms tend to be pulled poleward quicker.

Maybe it is just me but looking at the radar everything to our southwest seems to be moving almost due east. When is the precip going to turn NE?

I got stuck in Brunswick Georgia back in 1989 for 3 days as I 95 was shut down. When we finally got moving it took 6 hours to go the 60 miles to Jacksonville. In the pre smart phone days the lack of a camera prevented me from getting a picture of the Welcome to Florida sign covered in snow and ice. Not only did they not have plows but they also could not use salt as it would get in the ground water .

Snow started at the Linc

Dream shattered last night if only they had receivers that could catch a pass

That OSU PSU final is getting closer and closer

They are going to play a lot better than they played last night if they are going to win the Natty. They were sloppy last night and it was case of superior talent wearing down the opposition at the end. They will not have the same talent advantage against either Georgia or ND.

Imagine the commissioner of the SEC sitting in his living room watching an PSU OSU final in the home town of his conference. I would love to be a fly on the wall to see that.

Actually that is not true LC who was the TV met on I believe Chanel 17 sniffed this out a full week in advance

For SE FL the GFS shows about 3-4 inches of rain over the next 5 days. We get that in an afternoon T storm sometimes.

I don’t care if it produces 500 ACE as long as it stays OTS.

After Katrina fit South Florida as a strengthening Cat 1 and did a lot of damage JB wrote that a strengthening Cat 1 storm can cause more damage than a weakening Cat 3 storm. He mentioned mixing of upper air winds down to the surface.
