SE Crew - Cliff Diving

[suzook]

Yes its the icon....But WOW! Looks like a MA/NE storm now.

[lilj4425]

We’re gonna reel this one back in. I feel it. Can you feel it too?

[UnionCountyNCWX]

GFS doing that one last hope of more snow/sleet before the rug gets pulled entirely.

GIVE THE DOG A BONE!!!

[lilj4425]

Alright stop. Collaborate and listen. Ice is back…

[lilj4425]

This is where all of the cool people hang out. That storm thread ain’t got nothing on the cliff diving thread.

[lilj4425]

Where is everybody? It’s lonely in here. Don’t worry Bloo Q Kazoo. The Euro will bring them in.

I don't claim that the models have gained AGI, but I still wonder if they giggle at all of us losing our minds as they waffle.  Then they waffle again for fun.   

[SECane]

If it keeps going anymore north for the next few runs then it’ll be nothing, but cold rain here. I’ve given up on seeing any snow, and am just rooting to avoid the icy mix slop.

[neverSnowsLCSC]

Euro gives everything south of Columbia 70 and muggy Sunday evening through early Monday morning. just.. lol. At least we wouldn't lose power.

[JoshM]

I can hear the trees breaking and falling already 

[Isopycnic]

It’s been a few decades since I’ve heard thundersleet!

[lilj4425]

This is soo exciting.  

[Dunkman]

In hindsight a big snowstorm was a lot to hope for in a winter where we can’t even get it to rain.

[Thrasher Fan]

I guess Cheeznado doesn't visit this board anymore? He was usually a good source to follow in lead ups to a storm

[JoshM]

This sums up my feelings this week 

 

 

[lilj4425]

No snow for anybody 

[UnionCountyNCWX]

Now this thread will blow up lol

2002 redux it is.... I was really hoping for sleet

[NorthHillsWx]

It’s like the weather gods hate us. Like every run, just a little worse than the last. For days.  Nothing trends good, just a small incremental collapse, pain. If euro verified at least a lot on here have only nuisance ice. Cannot imagine local Mets explaining that off after the hype last 4 days

[lilj4425]

This place died. 

[UnionCountyNCWX]

Good morning. 

 

We suck. 

[NorthHillsWx]

Well now looks like the cards left on the table are crippling ice storm or non event 

[kvegas-wx]

No matter the outcome, it cannot be understated that our mid/long range modeling is SO.DAMN.BAD.  In any reality is it acceptable to have 3 major models showing me 30" of snow 5 days out and end up with this.

And then someone is gonna call one of the models the winner, as if the winner didnt suck too lol

No, from a public perception standpoint this is atrocious. I’ve had friends and family even THIS MORNING ask me if I think we will “really get a foot of snow”. So many people see a post on social media or use those worthless weather apps and it just leads to confusion. People should be prepping for an ice storm, days without power, no heat. Instead half the public thinks this will be a big snow STILL

[RTPGiants]

I rarely post here despite being a long time lurker. But why exactly are our models so bad at this? We seem to have improved immensely with hurricane forecasting in the last 10-15 years, but modeling this type of event seems to have had zero long range progress. What's the inherent difference?
