buckeyefan1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 What's wrong with sharing info from other sources? Others post stuff about WxSouth and WxRisk all the time. They are Meteorologists It's actually sad that I had to explain this to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowNiner Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I am not impressed with this "Arctic Attack" so far. Yes! Agreed. I doubt Charlotte gets into single digits tonight. Cold yes, but historic greatness, no. Congrats I guess to west of the Apps people. They're probably going to get decently awesome coldness. It's a reverse CAD!!!

But I don't see the difference in what he does and what others discuss here abotu potential in the pattern thread. It's not terribly complicated. If you're going to post your thoughts in the pattern thread (not being a met yourself), there's no problem with it. As you mentioned, it's done all the time. If you post quotes off of a free site from a met that are relevant to the pattern, there's no problem with it. As you mentioned, it's done all the time. A better analogy to your predicament is posting a quote from a buddy at work who said it's going to snow because his knee hurts. "Some guy said the Euro can't be trusted past 84 hours" is generally not a great contribution to the pattern thread. We all put post stuff that gets moved. It'll be ok. It really will.

Bevo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I moved back to marietta actually so these are temps coming off the heat island. Just dropped to 20.4 lol I hope you moved back because the house was haunted or some other, less sinister reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold yes, but historic greatness, no. Congrats I guess to west of the Apps people. They're probably going to get decently awesome coldness. It's a reverse CAD!!! Yeah, I was hoping, and half expecting this thing to trend a little colder as we worked in. You know... the "models always underestimate the magnitude of the cold and the density of airmasses from the arctic" and all that jazz. I guess I should have tempered my expectations when maps of wind chills and low temps stopped getting posted about 36 hours ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just saw that my forecast low has been changed from 6 degrees to 14 degrees. This is getting more comical by the hour. Raleigh just updated and held fast with my expected low tonight of 6 and high tomorrow of 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still the most impressive cold air intrusion I've seen in 3 years. All I'm saying is that for me, it isn't as impressive as was discussed and implied. But hey, I can at least temper my concern of sitting in stupid cold darkness with no power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always complain about underperforming rain and missing summer thunderstorms. I feel pretty confident that what has been said is nothing more than stated opinions. I've even posted out-right that I do not envy GSP in this situation because you can't truly know how those temps will materialize. Again - there's nothing wrong with saying the cold for any one area (mine in this case) is less impressive than what was anticipated. That's not complaining. And I'm the last person here to complain about it not being cold. I have been cold since before Thanksgiving. Hell, the kids and me had to wear jackets for a couple of days in August for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
