The Weather Thread
In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.

The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!

Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.

Re: The Weather Thread
Southeastern Indiana was near 60 today. We're expecting a snow storm Friday night through Saturday.

However, the weathermen can't decide on what model they want to use to forecast any kind of snowfall totals.

One model says to expect 2.0 inches.

Another model is forecasting 23.1 inches for the same fucking area!

OMG.

Just give me the Farmers Almanac and call it a day..sheesh.

IDIOTS.

Stuff like this is why i wanted to create this thread. Keep track of these crazy swings in temperature. a 40 degree drop in 2 days is not unheard of but - it seems it is becoming more and more common.

Re: The Weather Thread
Here in northern Virginia it is 36 degrees.

55 degrees forecasted for tomorrow and 65 on Friday with a 70% chance of rain. Then back in the 30's through monday.

[link to weather.com (secure)]

I'm sure it's going to be comical to watch the precip percentages go up and down up and down. We had an ice storm a few days ago, when 2 days before it came, they were saying 0% chance it'd hit us.

If all else this thread will make a laughing stock of a lot of meteorologists.

I thought so too. I'm sure we all will learn a lot here. Heck maybe GLP will prove to be better forecasters than the main stream meteorologists.

Crashing for now... just wanted to get this thread created before i caught some zzzzz.

Re: The Weather Thread
I use 2 weather apps. I like to compare them.

For this coming Friday and Saturday, one app says we could get a foot of snow.
The other app says 3 inches.

I’ll report back on Sunday.
