I like how it went from wall to wall Dec-Mar epic winter to "oh it's cool if we lose December, we don't get much snow in December anyway."

I wonder if come January and it still hasn't snowed south of DC everyone's like "most of our big snows in recent memory have come in Feb-Mar anyway."

Then Feb passes and everyone's like "remember Mar last year?"

Then it's April and we see a -NAO with massive nor'easter rainstorms and we're all like ":("

lolz

Also, high five for my third rainstorm in the mid 30s since October. Woo. We're rockin'! ;)

Anyone want a great throwback...

Driving around Charlotte in 1987 during a January snow :)

And we got it again a few days later (not as much tho)

Cool video, a few minutes in you can hear radio personalities talking about accums and the rain snow line. Bricks worst nightmare , rain in Raleigh and heavy snow in Greensboro !! :) Also, rain in CAE. :(. I thought I heard them say it was 31 , that must have been a great storm! According to the map I had around 10 inches, but can't recall that particular one, they are less memorable when you get 2-3 a year, like most of the 80s! :)

Well the Falcons offense tried darn hard to complete the comeback last night but unfortunately the high school defense they have couldn't come up with a big stop when it was most needed. I fell to sleep before Julio's injury so I didn't see it, hope he is okay.

 

Aaron Rodgers has got to be the best QB in the league right now... I know he was up against a very poor Falcons D but still...

Statistically, Ryan outperformed Rodgers last night.  They had chances to win.  But who doesn't? lol

 

Well, looking @ the actual stat sheet... Rodgers threw less yards but had better QBR + Completions so meh nvm.  Still impressive showing from Ryan.  Overall Rodgers is dominating the season though.

The point was clear he said there is no sign of the AO going negative. That's not a true statement. But his job is to provide a 5-7 day forecast not a three week forecast . so I can't blame him for not taking the time to dive deep into the data

James Spann is very good and very informative. He is a prime time TV met in Birmingham that also updates his blog 2-3 times daily and post usually 2 videos a day (Free!!). With that said, he readily admits that he considers anything beyond 6 or 7 days voodoo and very difficult to predict. It has also been my experience that he relies very heavily on the GFS in his forecasts. He even sometimes explains a forecast as being a result of what the GFS is currently showing. Obviously, we all know relying too heavily on the GFS beyond a few days can lead to busted forecasts. Look at the NE this week and what the GFS was showing just a few days ago. I am not calling for NAO or AO to go into the tank any time soon. Hopefully we will begin moving in a negative direction soon. I think the most recent few runs of the GFS would support Spann's claim and probably be the reasoning behind his statement.
