Why are all the models including the euro trending towards colder and a significant snow/ice event yet the forecasters are all shitting on it?

It’s usually the forecasters fear mongering and models are meh.

Im concerned many people won’t prepare for a week without power due to ice because the meteorologists are saying rain with wintry mix and temps won’t really get that low while the moisture is over us

Winter weather is an entirely different animal for on-air mets. They're not going to go out on any kind of limb as far as winter weather is concerned.

I've never liked the idea of having water above my head in a home. I know alot of builders put water heaters in the attic, but I've never been a fan.

My T&P valve went out this year. Very common when it gets older, so it popped open and let steady water out of the water heater or about 5 hours. We had a pool of about 4 feet of water in the yard. If our water heater had been in the attic you are talking about a 10k plus issue. Instead, a $15 part replacement

Because the general public tends to crucify meteorologists anytime they get the forecast wrong.

I’m anxious to see what it really ends up doing in little rock tonight/tomorrow. School is cancelled so I was sure to stock up on the adult essentials today.

KPLC still walking on eggshells. But I get it. They attack attack attack if it doesn’t come to fruition. But at this point, he’s saying a lot more than I thought he would.

I heard it thunder today. The (really) old folks say thunder in February, frost in April. So frost on April 10? I’ll jot it down on my weather calendar.

We’re headed out west for 10 days to tour the national parks. Everyone’s been telling me, bruh, you’re going to be coooooold. Recently, I’ve replied with- you’ll be colder!

Think about how many stupid people are out in the world.

Now think about there’s probably 2x that many stupid people in reality. You already make forecasts in the single digits in South Louisiana and you’re going to have a lot of people in panic mode and the meteorologists will be held responsible.

At 50 degrees right now it won't be this "warm" here until at least Saturday or Sunday 20/21.

This air mass is pretty cold. It got to -14 here, which is extremely rare.

Call your builder. This should be against code.
It’s damn sure against common sense.
What is against code? Being in the attic or being electric and in the attic?

The models indicate it might but if you're asking my opinion, I'd say no.

GEFS has every member with snowfall for Monroe, with the mean at 9". Some of the members have some comically large numbers.
