    Must be nice to say that from a place of privilege if you're not in that "9 percent", who are losing their jobs for no apparent good reason.

    I have lost a job for no reason before. I think a lot of people have. It’s why I decided to become self employed and not be reliant on someone else. I have a lot of sympathy for those who lost their jobs.  I’m not on board with it or in favor of it, but I don’t consider it a crippling blow to the organization. I will say, there are a ton of government employees that have worked and abused the system, I’m related to them, I’ve witnessed it. Some of these repercussions in other organizations is due to rampant abuse. Not saying that’s the case with NOAA or NWS, but it’s the case with other organizations.

    you actually haven't stated what you think about all this.  Do you think it's a good idea to hobble NOAA and NWS with indiscriminate firings?  Or are you just going to be a coward and lob attacks at other posters?

    Does reducing the noaa work force by 9% equal hobbling?

    I think they were well modeled. Still probably in for 3-4 inches but I also haven’t looked at models/thermals recently

    With the current 5-8” forecast I figured the sleet wouldn’t last this long. But you’re probably right with 3-4”

    Following up with a totals map. I think we'll continue to see a slow trend NW with the totals up until gametime. The gfs/rgem have consistently oversheared STJ waves this winter resulting in a consistent trend NW over the 36 to 48 hours leading up to the event. Again i wouldn't consider this a dramatic development/trend given the last few days of model runs showing consistent opportunities for this overrunning system. Timing will be important tomorrow in NC as temperatures will be below freezing and anything that falls will start to impact the evening commute immediately.

    Did you forget to label the coast?

    Radar returns are lighting up in TX, LA and even up to Oklahoma and Arkansas. The significance? Not a single model is close to showing what’s currently happening in real time. 

    I left Kansas/Oklahoma boarder returning from a trip around 3pm est. What was forecasted as a coating and light snow was in reality moderate snow and 1.5-2” when I left. The roads hadn’t been treated and were a nightmare of wrecks. Caught the DOT off gaurd for sure and was over performing.
