CyphaPSU 406 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 While I understand why, it still blows my mind to think about how the same system that is bringing snow to the Gulf Coast of Texas will bring rain to us, NYC, Boston, the coast of Maine, etc. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiburon 228 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Is it just me or has our modeling just gotten substantially WORSE over the years? All the "updates" to the GFS/WRF, the NAM/ETA, and now even the former undisputed king the EURO, and IMHO we aren't any better than we were 20+ years ago. I started watching weather as a wee lad, and when I went to college and discovered the internet and realized that I could see MOS output of all these models (among other things of other models...) I thought I had the keys to the city. And we've always had busts. Literally always. I'm just not sure I've seen a time where so many models have been so wrong on such a consistent basis. And I know that especially in the US, the government hasn't budgeted squat to NOAA and NWS and that's a crime in itself, but when even the EURO is struggling so mightily--is this telling us that our existing "norms" that we program into these models to guide the guidance aren't correct any more? Is it programming? Is it climate change throwing a monkey wrench into things we thought we understood? I've always been a skeptic of the weeklies and longer term forecasting--mainly because I've always been aware that skill decreases dramatically with time but to see the unbelievable waffling of models (and not the 50 mile shift that changes PHL from snow to sleet to rain--the waffling that changes PHL from cold and 5 at night to rainy and 55 in the morning over two runs 3-4 days out) has been discouraging as a weather enthusiast. Rant over. Here's hoping that NWS and NOAA can get more funding to improve what they have--the people are there and they're already strong. Let's give them the tools they need to do their jobs even better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowlurker 1,065 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I've actually never experienced a decent sleet storm. They're not common where I grew up. I seem to always be in snow, zr, or rain when these types of things hit the forecast area. What I'm saying is that I'm down for some serious sleet. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NJHurricane 287 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Oh well sleet and mangled flakes beats rain and mangled flakes. My street actually looks more treacherous than last storm. Some reports out of Maryland of a more snow weighed sleet/snow mix in the heaviest bands. I will try to monitor the mix more than meltdown. Glad my 20 minutes of moderate snow at least whitened things nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
