Most readers can't handle Met 101. Met K-1 maybe. I know.. imho though it's easier and better to be knowledgeable and dumb down then be dumb to begin with.

Viewing these models helps ease our fears that a storm will bust. The best thing you can is learn so that model intrepretation improves and emotions run a little lower. My post was mainly in jest but obviously I was way too serious. I'm in it for the puzzle mostly. The intellectual process and gaining knowledge along the way. Reading between the lines of model runs is similar to solving a logic puzzle. I love those things. Busting sucks but only for about 2 or 3 beers then life is good again.

Working on my degree for IT security, I've specifically taken Met 101 and Hazardous Weather as electives just to get a better understanding of what the various models and outputs mean.

H2O Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 We're all somewhat effed up to track things that haven't even happened and get all butthurt when it doesn't give us what we want. It's human nature to want to know things and answer questions that are hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hmm, could the reason that the LWX snow map doesn't match the advisory be something as simple/nonsensical as: they can't change the scale on the map? So, they can't put in 3-5" because the two choices in whatever algorithm they're using crams the results into either 2-4" or 4-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 When I was at PSU, I believe they closed twice. Once for the 2003 president's day storm and another time for a bad ice storm in State College.

Jebman Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I am finding it hard to believe that we only hit 34 for a high today when 43 was forecast. It was so cloudy and so cold today that not only did the snow/sleetpack make it thru the day, but there is even ice still on the trees! This is like late January in early December, or even like being much farther north! Now, we have more snow on the way? Is this for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like hiking where if you want to hike, well, you go and hike. This is a hobby where you can't always get what you want which can be frustrating. Speaking of beer...with the way this week has gone so far, I might need to snag a 6-pack of Sam Adams winter lager...good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Saw Chanel 4's forecast, it looked eerily like the CWG forecast, he even mentioned the possibility of a band setting which would determine where the heaviest snow might fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not a terrible thing. When cwg busts way low they can blame it on channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I know everyone will hate me, but I actually like TWC naming storms. Few months ago I wanted to research the NE Feb Blizzard. I couldn't remember the dates, but I could remember the name "Nemo". Honestly made it easier to search things, and I could figure out the date from there. In 20 years I might not remember it was February 8-9th, but I will def. remember Nemo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
