Or the antithesis of skill

Astounding to me that purported "wx experts" all over twitter , etc., tried to hype up the NAM and the comeback of the storm when it was clear it was completely out to lunch.  This is why I value the people on this site that are far smarter and more knowledgeable than I am to give the real story--which I then promptly take over to Twitter to blast the morons hyping scenarios that have zero chance of transpiring.

Just for prosperity. The run that the NAM completely caved, hard. Epically collapsed. As we all knew it would. It wasn't going to be incremental lol.

Kinda stinks when the NAM agrees with other models. It's like Cartman acting nice on Southpark. Who wants to watch that?

probably because - if you assume that the probabilities of all the discrete events of a storm outcome that could occur are approximately uniformly distributed (I get that is probably a stretch), and that there are more discrete events that favor a non-snow outcome vs a snow outcome for us, then the sample space of all possible outcomes are more heavily dominated by non-snow ones.  Thus the probability of selecting a non-snow outcome is higher, so if a model is all by itself in predicting one, it's more likely to be correct than a model all by itself predicting a snow-outcome.  I realize that there are a ton of assumptions here that are probably not empirically grounded (independent events, etc), but it seems that might be the general logic.

From a probabilistic pov this is 100. It’s true of every snow scenario. The number of permutations that produce snow are way less than the ones that don’t. Basically we need a storm to track trough a 100 sq mile box to get snow.  The no snow permutations are the whole rest of the planet lol

Yeah well half the people on this thread were doing the same so not sure this place is much of a step up. I guess if you're ignoring anything that isn't from a red tagger or like 3-4 other accounts it's fine lol.

Posting any NAM output that's over 48hrs needs to be banned on here, not even kidding. These weenies need to have some sense knocked into their head. Like you might as well be posting the results of a coin flip..

The difference on here is that you could tell that people were hoping for a miracle, but are smart enough to know that there was little to no chance that it would materialize, whereas on other platforms the weather posters were posting merely for click bait and/or aren't very smart, especially some of the seasoned ones.  There is palpable anger on places like twitter right now now that it has become clear it was all an illusion.
