All the models can pound sand. Worthless

It's like watching the same movie with the same dialogue every year. When my friends and employer start freaking out about the big storm five days out, I sigh. When it's 3 days out, I come over here. At two days out, I remember that nothing matters until the event. And that the event will probably be cold rain. 
 

(and somehow I always make my very first click into the storm thread right after brick has commented indignantly about something. Always my first sign that there will be no snow.)

[lilj4425]

If these NWS offices would just forecast snow, we would get it. Thats how it works right?

Looking back at the thread it’s comical how naive and stupid we all sounded. Did we really believe a near 1,000 mile long stretch of overrunning was possible? Even more hilarious, every single one of us took the bait on the 1050+ HP.

I think it had been so long since our whole collective group had tracked a storm, we forgot the cardinal rules of tracking a storm in the south. 

Funny thing is it wasn’t just us. NWS, Local TV Mets, Weather Channel were all honking the horn on Monday. Heck the Weather Channel showed graphics all day Tuesday of 12-24” across NC.

Even Brad P was pretty gung ho on this one which is unusual for him. (Not to the extreme as others of course)

It is really amazing how horrible the models are at forecasting winter storms 5 days out in 2026.

[blueheels2]

RDU area I predict a massive dry slot.  Maybe 1/10” of warm nose sleet.

If you include the big maps from Monday Tuesday, plus the big maps of the possible snowstorm in the mountains from this previous weekend when I was in East Tennessee. Ive missed about 30-35 inches of snow in a week lol.

In a day or so we're all gonna be saying this weekends storm is just "setting the table" for the next one

Watching the models call for two different systems with measurable snow in the same week only to get nothing. After watching everyone around me hit the jackpot last year, but me.

Never gonna score

Man, people hanging on to dogshit in the main thread. At this point I think we have no idea what's gonna happen this weekend. It's been raining all day here south of ATL.

[ncstatered21]

The funniest thing to me about all of this…especially cause this is one of the bigger events in recent years and social media has exploded even more (in the 4 years since MBY had a big event)…

I can go on Twitter and see all these weather accounts say “XYZ model is absolutely wrong I am telling you trust me”

And then you go to their account and see their location gets much less snow with the “wrong” model

Cracks me up!

Referencing this one if anyone is curious…

Lol, and it will go north....or maybe south, and Miami gets snow 

[ncstatered21]

Lol, and it will go north....or maybe south, and Miami gets snow 

-150 odds that it does this.

I dont think ive drank a thing today yet, but watching the first lob of moisture literally chase away the HP on the 18z NAM had me cackling at work.

More like -15000 odds for it not to snow in Miami 

[lilj4425]

Is the system ever going to get here?
