The euro still shows a monster storm, in fact the 12z run thus far is even stronger than the 0z.

0z run for 12z Sunday

New 12z run for the same time

Yep, back to being even stronger again. Must have been an error since we are back to being warm later in the run again. Looking at that strength, is that a historic storm for the area? I can't remember a time they were hit by a category 4.

Lol thanks guys, I just can't deal w/ his stupidity sometimes... I honestly don't know why I still follow him on twitter, but I guess everyone likes a good train wreck?

I see the LR GFS is throwing us a friendly reminder that hurricane season is not terribly far away....

Well as AGW progresses we'll just have 2 seasons. Hot and not as hot.

I wouldn't put too much energy into it. Yes, he is annoying in the way he acts there, but social media can be a black hole to your time and energy since people who aren't very intelligent populate most of it. I would give it a rest for now at least, you don't want to attract the trolls ;).
 
I like JB but why would you take ONE run of a model of a storm and post it on Twitter like it's going to happen. As bad as models are in general I wouldn't post that if it was a forecast for the next day much less 8 days away. I like to see the same storm show up at least 3 runs in a row before I even remotely consider that it may actually occur.

Didn't Southernwx interview JB about a month ago? This has turned into somewhat of a witch hunt. Where are our manners? The guy has to do what he does to make $. That's what a capitalist economy is all about. Ignore him. Chill out ;)

First of all, this is not a witch hunt... Degreed meteorologists posting 240+ HR snow maps (on multiple occasions) is absolutely unacceptable, no if, ands or buts about it. The public doesn't understand uncertainties nor is willing to care, they only want yes or no answers, timing, how much in their backyard (if any), etc., hence when something like this is posted publicly multiple times it will spread like wildfire and be shared hundreds of times over, and when it doesn't come to fruition, then many will complain and/or continue to lose trust in any meteorological forecasts (even those who don't purposely hype every winter, shortwave disturbance, and/or African wave as a massive event for the east coast), it only makes the field look bad in the end. Hence, it's no wonder, few, if any legitimate meteorologists and researchers take JB seriously, and this is another prime example of the garbage he's been spewing for years. JB is massive weenie and deserves to be called out when he posts crap like that.

Winter was so different just two years ago. This was 5 inches of snow 2 years to the day and it was my third major winter storm that year since February 16th. 2 snow storms and one ice storm!
