Not pick on you specifically, BristowWx, because many posts point to the same sentiment, but does anyone ever say the opposite of your bolded statement before the next iteration arrives? For instance, "00z runs will be boring." We always look expectantly for the next set of model runs, and they are always eagerly anticipated. It is only after they arrive that we decide whether we want to put more or less weight on that particular run depending on whether the outcome is favorable to our desired solutions. Anyway, I read that same statement multiple times prior to each potential storm during the winter, and I always find it rather funny.
