He seems like a nice a guy and his enthusiasm is fun. But his forecasts are massively overrated by some. I've always watched his actual success rate, and it's no better than most here.
his success rate is very low

That radar has been showing precip just south of us all day long. Yawn. Its been fizzling out to just light precip all day. I'm not holding my breath.
Tyler > Yes complex set up. Thats why the models were struggling, but did pretty good considering. GFS!! So Tyler is saying #surprises??

GFS continues to advertise our next chance of a more significant cold snap to be early-mid February.

Honestly, this wouldn't surprise me. Apart from a few exceptions, February seems to be our new January.

Seeing how well February 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019 performed, its evident that we can still get the goods late in the season.

Yes, but our luck will run out in Februarys as well. If we cant get snow in Jan or Dec...again, i doubt we will see another cold snowy Feb. We are batting .500 right now..odds are against another good Feb. Probably just more cold rain, followed by some more cold rain. :bs:
