Oh, I know, it's just especially noticeable to me for whatever reason.

It’s been a long week, I don’t blame you at all, most annoying to me is the banter in the non-banter thread and the competing pbp. That never used to be an issue

The GFS comes in very similar to it's 18Z run: "The cave is starting!"

The EURO comes in much flatter and colder and looks a lot more like the GFS WRT snow totals: "EURO pretty much a hold."

 

The clutching of narratives is weird, man. 

Hey, we could all see a rug pull tomorrow, a joyous trend to colder and snowier, or anything in between, but the model analysis tonight has been poor.

For sure the 00z suite was a small win, but people are really searching for a huge shift south to recover all our losses. It’s like gambling to cover loses.

fortran has to be the single most underrated language of all time. It's the perfect mix of low-level enough to do resource management and easy enough to not require someone who is purely a software engineer. And I say this as someone who grew up with python, matlab and c++ lol

Well said. When I worked at Naval Research and Development (DTNSRDC) in Carderock, Md. we had heavy duty computer power (4 Control Data Corp. mainframes plus one from Burroughs Corp.) The "software people" were the systems analysts who maintained the computers while the actual users (the "programmers,") were scientists and engineers who used FORTRAN's powerful mathematics simply as a tool of their trade.

At least the closer to game time you get, the smaller the jumps will be. 36 hours out the you’re usually locked in on a likely solution give or take

I want to apologize for a few unhinged post lol. The transition from clean storm to dirty storm was frustrating. Now that were settling into it I'm getting excited for heavy snow and dumping sleet. I had to do a little self reflection this morning to clean up my perspective on this. LFG!

Go for a hike out at bacon and enjoy getting pelted by sleet in the eye balls

Apple weather still saying 20” Sunday. Where the hell is this coming from? Does the entire field a huge disservice cause it’s been saying 20”+ all freaking week and it’s not happening.

I'm actually planning a Saturday night 7 mile thru hike. I'm thinking about starting at midnight and finishing at daybreak. Want to come? It will be really fun.

It’s the reason people were freaking out about this three or four days ago. Well, that and social media computer models being shared.
