It was a rather memorable shift at work today, to say the least. I knew it would be busy, but not by way of multiple discrete supercells producing tornadoes and large hail. It was a day of multiple firsts in my career… a day I won’t forget for a very long time, if ever.

This weekend’s storm is a great example of why human forecasters matter. Step back away from interrogating run to run snowfall accumulation maps and dive into the meteorology. What is going on at the synoptic/meso scale? All deterministic models are wrong, but some are useful!
