  1. I believe that it was Joe Bastardi that said around the time that Katrina hit Florida that a strenghening Cat 1 storm could cause more damage than a stable or weakening Cat 3 storm?
  2. While I do understand that even in a hostile El Nino year, a storm can sneak through and create widespread destruction, as a SE Florida homeowner I am very happy to be reading these posts. What I find most amazing is that here we are on August 16 and the main 2026 Atlantic season thread is only 6 pager so far.
  3. In the case of Glenn Hurricane Schwartz I am sure it goes back to Sandy. I vividly remember watching him on TV explaining the the GFS had Sandy a safe fish storm and the Euro had it doing the left hook that it eventually did.
  4. I addressed this earlier today. Still saying 18-22 for tha Malvern Paoli area. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if they ended up being right .
  5. I was going to ask how the storm is performing to our south and west so far. Where is the changeover line compared to where it was forecasted to be?
  6. Does anyone know what source Apple Weather uses? They have been adamant calling for 18- 22 inches of snow in the Paoli Malvern area almost all week. They have not backed down even with the Mesoscale computer runs.
  7. The GFS only lost 2 feet of snow in 6 hours. What's to complain about?
  8. The warm air is not too far away. It is 49 in Paoli.
  9. There have been countless great patterns in the long range over the last few years that looked great only to disappear as the time drew closer. Count me in with the I will believe it when I see it crowd.
  10. To this day i wonder if the 1996 game was to be played in Philly instead of Dallas would Rendell have declared an emergency and postponed the game.
  11. I have never started a topic before how do I change the title?
  12. Just a question. You seem to quote the UK model quite often. Is it that good of a tropical model?
  13. When is the last time on Sept 7 the NHC site showed zero disturbances in the next 7 days.
  14. Watching a Netflix documentary on Katrina now. It is very difficult to watch. The human suffering was much worse than it was depicted at the time.
  15. That is what the HH GFS shows but what I think is a bigger statement is that in the midst of peak season a very bullish poster can only find threats in a 384 hour map in the HH GFS
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
