Tell it like it is!

Hey, those Reno weather wonks are gettin' some ATTITUDE! Check this snippet from the 7:26 pm 15FEB AFD:

"NICE WARM CONVEYOR SHOWING UP ON 290-300K ISENTROPIC SURFACES EXTENDING FROM OFF THE COAST TO TAHOE/LASSEN. AS FAR AS MODELS GO...HAVE TOSSED THE NAM IN THE TRASH FOR THIS STORM. IT HAS NOT HANDLED THE POSITION OF THE BAND WELL AT ALL SINCE FRIDAY AND WAS EVEN DRY FOR TAHOE UNTIL 21Z TODAY?!?!?!

Yeah, "TOSSED THE NAM IN THE TRASH!" Right ON, Bro! Sometimes these NWS people pay WAY too much attention to their models. They wring their hands and agonize about what the models "mean." It grows old and annoying sometimes. It's refreshing to read how somebody in Reno simply said, "Throw the SOB in the TRASH!" Yeah, that's my kinda attitude!

Lately, Reno gets my vote as the "GOTO" place for an exciting AFD. They will probably soon get called on the "Climo Carpet" for all their enthusiasm and straight talk. But, hey, let's enjoy it while we can.
