All you have to offer is "government is bad." That's not a viewpoint. It's just pure ignorance. You don't even know what government is, why we have it, or what its role or purpose is. You don't even know all the ways in which government benefits you. You are just childish and simple. How can there be a debate if you are not capable of advancing a rational viewpoint?

There are many smart people who have come up with really clever changes/improvements to rebuild our healthcare system in an effective and efficient manner. We know what it would take. And many of us have been trying to implement those needed changes. Guess who keeps blocking it?

It's the truth. And people need to hear it. If you are an idiot, I'm coming after you. Why? Because you are harming my country, my family, and my well being. And if you think I'm an idiot or that I live in my mother's basement, I will prove to you that I am not.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland have effective and efficient governments. People believe in government and strive to make it work. People living in those countries also have an extremely high quality of life on average. Russia has an ineffective and inefficient government. Money and power are concentration in the hands of a few ruling elites. People don't believe in government and they don't try to make it work. Government is used by the elites to protect their power and control the masses (corrupt justice system, no freedom of press etc). The Trump-Musk government wants to model us after Russia. Which system would you prefer?

I'd bet everything I have that you are an uninformed ideologue. You literally couldn't be more wrong if it was your goal to post something incorrect. I dare you to post something intelligent on any subject. We have too many people like you who think they understand things that they actually know nothing about. It's all buzz phrases with you. Simple black and white. Completely unable to grasp subtlety or nuance.

The Trump - Musk party has shown it likes to break sh'it... Things that get in the way of their egos, their wealth, and their power. But they are breaking all the wrong things and ignoring the things that actually need to be dismantled and rebuilt. That doesn't help most of us at all. It just decreases our quality of life, makes us poorer, and less safe. Nice job everyone.

Military spending, health care spending (costs), relatively low tax rates (revenues). Those are the issues to consider if you're concerned about deficit spending. You also have to spend money to make money. Investing in infrastructure (both physical and tech), robust immigration, and being smart about corporate tax rates are all critical factors that affect the revenue side. One political party is capable of developing plans to tackle these issues based on facts and evidence. The other party is not.

If it comes in separate waves as something like 4", 1", 1"... with some rain in the middle and at the end... will that satisfy the masses?

Most government agencies need more staff, higher prestige, higher caliber of applications, higher salaries. Efficiency could also be increased by not having 1 of 2 major political parties actively sabotaging government for 50 years. Also what we don't need is $20,000 CT scans, $4000 ultrasounds, $1000 basic blood work etc. We are all sharing these exorbitant costs. Private college education system is fcked too. We need a paradigm shift in health care, child care, elderly care, and our college education system. Privatization and the constant push for bigger profits are bleeding us dry. Attacking and dismantling the government is the completely wrong focus. Obviously perpetuated by greedy or stupid people. Quality of life is much higher in other western countries. The model being pushed on us is Russia (everyone for themselves... wealthy-elite controlled society).

Yup.

It's an ensemble mean at 300hr. There are 100 ways to fck that up. Impossible to know if the synoptic setup would be workable. Snow vs. no-snow would be determined by shortwave details masked by the time range and ens averaging. But... still prefer a favorable look than unfavorable... even if almost useless at day 13.

Is it greedy to want all 4 waves next week? Tue - Sun

With this last burst I think we might have gotten more plain rain than freezing/frozen with this event. I did not expect that.

Road don't seem as bad as expected to me with temps around freezing. Seemed worse last Sunday with mid 20s and snow mixed with ZR. Also nighttime. But I guess not so many people were driving around like an idiot on Sunday evening in bad weather.

For the moment the fear is 1st wave south and 2nd wave north. The dream is two major hits that bleed into each other and extend from Tue to Sat. Individuals ensembles eem to include both scenarios. There will be many adjustments in the days to come, but today seemed like a small step down in magnitude (for next week only).

I think the experience, perception, and details matter. Overperformers can be remembered fondly for years, even if it's just a few inches. And accumulating snow showers the day after a plowable event vastly improves the enjoyment over an event that changes to rain. Four (4) inch events in 10 days would be celebrated. On the other hand, three (2) inch events when people have been salivating about 20-30" 15-day totals might not be fully appreciated.

The 0z CMC shows how we could escape without a significant snow event next week. That follows the noteworthy 10-day CMC ensemble snow mean from 12z of 15"-18" region wide. Even the GFS is probably sub-warning (snowfall) in any single event next week. These things are always incredibly tenuous. Should be fun tracking ahead.

I thought all 3 globals were a little less ideal aloft at 12z for next week. There's still big thread and a lot that can go wrong. But at the same time guidance has been trending snowier for the two nearer term threats! Probably best to enjoy what we can this week and try to consider future threats a bonus.

CMC ens have 4 or 5 snow threats in the next 10 days. 0z showed a healthy ens mean for snow. Definitely uncommon. Of course it could fall apart quickly since 0z had us on the favorable side of the boundary from Sun to Sat next week. As everyone is well aware, if one feature is off four threats can turn into one tenuous threat really quickly. But the last time I remember a trackable period like this was in 2015 I think... so it's not that common.

I expect the 0z GEFS to look snowy out to 10 days judging from the early panels. It's 2+ waves spaced out from Tue to Fri (plus a little bit Wed night and Sat night).

The prolonged moist SW flow on the CMC is a thing of beauty. A stronger shortwave trof would raise heights along the coast and bring warmth (and a stronger SLP). Weak waves with a shallow trof angle is perfect here. Simple overrunning with waves Gulf moisture is sufficient for big snow. The finale at the end of the CMC is too far out to mean much, but man I'm really liking that run. GFS and ICON are different as expected for days 5-9... but they're not completely at odds either.

I really like the 0z CMC evolution for next week. Not saying it's right - just that it shows how we could get big snow numbers. Ride the boundary from Tuesday all the way through Friday. We're almost perfectly on the edge of the steady moisture plume and just enough cold air the whole period. No intense SLP, but it's not needed. The run didn't show the huge snow numbers, but QPF could easy be underdone with that depiction.

The StormVistaWx maps have a glitch in the algorithm that tabulates snow. It's showing values about twice the actual data. This has been a problem forever. Why are they still being used/shown?
