Might be too banter-ish, but why does it need to be a contest, though? Maybe it's just bc I'm just starting out and am showing the naivety of an amateur, but I'm simply enjoying the roller-coaster of using analogs, models, etc. to forecast the weather.

Contest for what? Not sure I'm following. I was saying both things that Scooter aka coastalwx said makes up the irony.

Here's the irony. You get ridiculed by weenies if you bring up a non-wintry scenario. Then, get a "nobody said this would happen" when you don't say anything. Imagine that.

You won't get flack from me.

The sooner we all acknowledge the seasonal tenor, the better.

It really is an outstanding forecasting metric.

 

:lol:

This is why we have a model thread at least. To keep the emotionally attached from 174 hours out in one place.

Kevin, repeat after me before sleep every night and you'll have a more peaceful experience:

"Synoptics can change 7 days out"

"Synoptics can change 7 days out"

"Synoptics can change 7 day out"

It does frustrate me when mets or anyone for that matter, sort of gets crap for talking about scenarios that might not be snowy or wintry. It makes me just not want to even bring it up.

Regardless, I don't see why the interior needs to be heading for a marble quarry in VT.

Yes I understand that point better than the "nobody said this could happen" part.

Everyone jumped on me for saying bet the streak but this has been the pattern this winter. There is no denying it is very worrysome at best. if the GFS track verifies I think you lose even the most optimistic NNE posters like myself ;).

I'm with you.

It all blows.

Gotta know when to fold 'em.

Will and Scott did a great job with the seasonal NAO.

You see that indirectly from panic in Tolland now and then.

Anyways, hopefully it's not a dud for the interior. I was hoping Monday morning would produce a couple of inches, but my confidence on that is lowered too.

Right. I didn't think it would go into Cleveland. But there wasn't a reason why it couldn't go into SNE and still be a wet system. It's early still. I think it's curtains for me, but interior is still in the game for some sort of snow or mix. We'll see what 12z does.

I didn't mean to call anyone out or say no-one thought warmer solutions..but let's be fair here..the tenor and gist of 98% of the posts from mets and weenies the last few days was that this was likely to be a wintry system even for SNE.

 

I understand synoptics can change. They always do. But this really happened quickly. This wasn't a gradual thing where it went from looking like snow to an icy mix trending as rain or something like that.

 

This went from snow/ice/winter storm almost likely to predominately rain in basically 1 fell swoop.

 

Shame on me I guess for not thinking the UKMET solution had any merit

Skepticism won out on the -NAO forecasts. I didn't actually forecast the NAO but was just skeptical of these negative signals.

You  know what I  mean......your overall idea was good.

I argued tooth and nail and was wrong.

QBO FTW.

 

I was only calling for a modest seasonal NAO, but even that was bad.

 

What is the current DJFM reading?

can you do us all a favor and just say Kevin instead of weenies because nobody else ridicules you. I see you and Ryan say this a lot when it really is only Kevin

You also took some lumps when you said Feb would be no better then what has happen so far this winter. Great call by you. Even The NWS saw the writing on the wall up there.

it's the truth 4 people before me just said it. Unhinged

You always have to butt your nose in and get your opinions in whenever there's any issues or controversy. This has nothing to do with you. There was no reason for you to make that post or bring up my name. But you felt you needed to get in the middle as usual.

I'm certainly do feel as though what happened here has besmirched the name met of any met around here.

All you can do is examine the synoptic layout that is modeled, and practice good meteorology.

They all did that,  but seasons, like professional sports teams, have flawed DNA.

This one most certainly does.
