my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.
I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.
I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.
Ya and SEA still ended up with hardly any rain. Most places are between 1/2” to 1” there last few days while SEA is .10. Official stations must also show less rain than personal stations as SEA still consistently shows less than all personal stations surrounding the airport.
No offense taken OKwx2k4. You alluded to the "butterfly effect" in your review and in fact the entire concept is based on the work of Dr. Edward Lorentz and his mathematics work in the pursuit of weather study that eventually led to the development of chaos theory. I added my own experiance as an operator of high power radar systems. I must disagree with your assumption that "massive storms" come "as a surprise no matter what". The concept can only work because of the modern NWS weather surveillance system and forcasting tools that frequently point to the area of danger several days in advance and has real time monitoring of violent storms, regardless of the hilly terrain.
