You know, the met collective could have just run with this a week ago and we would all be in a much better mental state.

How funny would that be if we all burned out from this week and we end up getting smashed in the mouth next week by our 12-24" storm? All I know is thank God I'm not flying the next 2 weeks. Travel is going to SUCK!

I'm not sure anyone cares anymore. I don't even recall tracking Katrina this long. It is what it is. We're too busy being suckered into next weeks blizzard.

This a bodyshop special. We get nothing but black ice and everyone wrecks their cars. Congrats Montreal and Niagara Falls. Unbelievable.

Are we there yet dad?

I want off now.

I'm so done. So.freaking.done

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.

Ha! Sorry. Peeked at your profile. But that sort of makes it worse. Do better, cuz this is a sh*t show.

Mole hills are generally small and unimpressive. But if you want to make a mountain out of said mole hill, then by all means stand on it and preach brother Buddy! I don't think you will find much disagreement.

This is what we get when a guy from FL is allowed to start a winter storm thread.

Lets be honest though, the thrill factor with the kiddos just went from a solid 6.8 with just snow sledding to a 9.1 with an ice pack on top. This is the difference between a minor bump or bruise falling off the sled and becoming a human missile capable of shattering mailbox posts. ZR on top of IP on top of SN is about the best setup you could ask for in terms of fast sledding. It packs perfectly.

Oddly enough I had a discussion with a relative in Toledo this afternoon and they said their local met called BS on the southern storm specifically because the HP was weakening and not in the ideal position (retrograding?). Way above my paygrade of amateur weather, but seems to make sense if the models are forecasting a less significant CAD event with a much deeper warm nose. We may have just needed to wait until the ducks were all on the pond to see it.

The post mortem on this needs to be heavily discussed. We cannot fall for this again. Epic model failures for it to be 72-96 hours out.

We're not playing Yahtzee here. So get ready to crap out.
