If you want to use weather to describe things it was like people discussing the 84hr NAM when it was only out to 12. Too many were trying to say what was going to happen without all the data or letting the run happen. Personal bias of “too warm”, “looks tasty” etc crept in and clouded the discussion.
So the decision was to go storm mode and get back to actual weather.
If those that left got upset by that then they lost sight of what this message board is supposed to be for. But no one was run off.
