[quote:Anonymous Coward 16879057:MV8zNzM3MzMyXzY2ODkwMTIyXzdBMEM3NTAz] [quote:last one:MV8zNzM3MzMyXzY2ODkwMDQ5X0JBNDY2MTNB] Crazy weather can be dangerous, as we all know. A number of years ago, we were in northwestern Kansas quail hunting, in December. Temps rose to almost 70 degrees during the day, we were in shirtsleeves at noon. By 2pm, temp was 30, by 10pm, temp was below zero, by sunrise next day temp was -13. 83 degree drop in temps over 18 hours. [/quote] That is crazy! Came across this article regarding temperature swings. https://weather.com/sports-recreation/ski/news/5-extreme-temperature-drops-20130118#/1 49 Degree increase in 2 minutes in Spearfish, S.D. Record low and high in one day in OK 110 degree rise in Oklahoma after the all time coldest temp in the state the previous day. [/quote]

In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.
The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!
Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.
