Pretty cool to see lake-enhanced snow flurries falling over middle Tennessee this morning with moisture from...checks notes....Lake Michigan. (This actually is not incredibly unusual but still interesting nonetheless) #Nashville

The doughnut hole strikes again. Why is there no snow in Raleigh?
Raleigh is in the dreaded ‘dry slot’ again while the rest of the state gets snow

Oh no, Grey’s. Owen Hunt & Dr Miranda Bailey? Just casually going to ride *to GETH er*? In an *AM buLANCE*? (Bailey voice) We know exactly what’s about to happen. After 22 seasons, they don’t have a POLICY in place? Don’t ride together. 🤦♀️

If you are in the path of this weekend's winter storm, & you are predicted to face power outages, turn your heat up in advance. All of the surfaces of your interior will absorb that energy. When the power fails, that energy will radiate back into the room buying you as much as 8 extra hours of warm.

Friendly note: your weather app is likely powered by an algorithm, computers and is prolly squirrelly. In a winter storm, 10s of miles, a few degrees determines who gets snow/ice/rain/sleet vs nothing. Your favorite human meteorologist’s experience proves clutch ➡️ NWS weather.gov or your 📺

AMS has the digital certification. That’s who’s deciding it.
Digital certification should help you identify who is reliable and who to follow, but certified meteorologists aren’t posting things that go viral (usually) so the public doesn’t care.
Certification is for your CV, nothing more.

With temperatures at or below freezing for much of the next week, anyone who sees sleet--especially sleet mixed with freezing rain--should prepare to remain stuck at home for an extended period of time.

Today's 53 WRS winter storm mission went as planned, and all 25 sondes will be assimilated for tonight's 00Z runs of the GFS and ECMWF. Bit of caution though, one round of sondes isn't a magic pill. Helps with initial conditions, but could take a few runs to lock in the pattern...

There’s a difference between ice freezing on flat surfaces, ice accumulating on trees and power lines and other things in the air that we don’t want to come down, and ice pellets falling from the sky. Pass it on.
Freezing rain also doesn’t accumulate on branches and power lines to the values seen in the models.
It accumulates at roughly 39% the value of flat ice, so for quick math divide all of those by 3.
Yes: major ice storm coming, 0.5-1” ice, power outages.
No: Widespread 2-3” of ice.

This would knock out power for tens of millions of people, for week*s*.
This is not a joke or exaggeration.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Usually a Southern winter storm benefits by rebounding warming temps which allow roads to improve rather quickly as melting sets in. This won't be the case this time. We're gonna be locked in with a subfreezing air mass and lingering poor road conditions. Also a high demand for heat and electricity.

This is why we don’t rely solely on weather apps, and definitely not 5 + days out. Translated, this means the magic 8 ball is confused. 😂
