No... at times you are just challenging me on tiny details to be a jerk. You know that is true. That does not mean you are a jerk. Sometimes you play the part though.

Looks consistently warm but not anything extreme. http://old.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Seattle_USA_ens.png

Only you seem to care when challenging me on tiny details just to be a jerk. But you do it anyways!

I would venture to say that you have insulted me directly far beyond any personal insults you perceive me 'throwing' at Jim. I did not insult him tonight and rarely insult him personally. I respect him as a person and a cohort is this weather forum mania for over a decade. I merely said 2007-08... which is a valid example. Everything since has been another waste of time. Just let it be. It was a fair response.

A continuation might not be something to behold. Saying it would be is over-confident. Needless to say.

I am called out all the time. Inherent part of the discussion here. Respectfully challenging people should be a fundamental part of the discourse. Respectfully is the key. I was respectful.

I am going to respectfully challenge Jim at times when he is over-confident. Its OK. Deal with it. Its not personal. And many times I agree with him. He challenges me as well. The banter afterwards is 10 times worse than the actual posts from myself and Jim. Just let it be.

So what. Over-confident predictions should probably be challenged. Regardless of the person making the claim. Otherwise its just people rattling off wishcasts.

It would be something to behold. Maybe not. Pretty strong assumption.

It always matters Chris!

When I make over-confident predictions or claims... you call me on it. And you should. Same thing should apply to everyone. No big deal. I can challenge statements that are over-confident as well. Jim makes lots of them.

Classic Jim actually. It always works out the next time around. Might not be something to behold in the lowlands. Could be... or could be nothing at all. I was just questioning a declarative statement. Fair enough. You call me out for literally every declarative statement I make. Double standard as Matt has pointed out many times. Challenge Jim too. Its OK... its a discussion about the science of weather.

Why did they get rid of the nice western US satellite images? Now they link you different ones which seem to have less resolution. The Seattle centered image on the NWS site does not even have the county borders. Hard to tell where places are located.

Right. A winter to behold. It was here anyways. I have heard not so much elsewhere.

2007-08?

Yeah... I will take our weather for now. I might be jealous of your weather again soon enough though.

Very nice weather ahead. Get out and enjoy it. Rumor has it that it will rain for most of the next 6 months.

Why? Lovely weather here. I believe this year I have really complained once... about 3 days of rain in June because the models were wrong and we had plans. And I am still hearing about it. And don't tell me about the regime for the last 2 years. Its been a very wet regime this decade here. It has to get better... meaning drier... for a few years.

FWIW... the 00Z GFS MOS does not show 60s now for Sunday in Seattle. 74, 74, 71 the next 3 days at SEA. More noticeable drop at PDX... 80, 82, 72.

Glad to see Carolina get a loss out of the gate. Could help the Seahawks. Plus that punk Cam lost the very next game to the same team after storming off from his Super Bowl post game media session.

Great game.

So this is the Phil complaining thread??

No Bryant. I just report what it shows. Plenty of posts from me about troughier runs, rainy WRF maps etc. You never mention those posts. Just when I report when the models show warm. We should ignore all warm runs and just find something cold to talk about all the time?

12Z EPS mean and control run are warm through day 15. Again.

Latest CFS is chilly for the first week of October... then warm again.
