what are you talking about, people absolutely care about the lows. ice accumulates over night and people need to wrap their pipes and poo poo to prevent freezing. the overnight lows will sometimes shut down the cities and schools. warming centers get opened up for the homeless so they don't die overnight. i feel like im taking crazy pills reading this thread

you gotta wrap your pipe so it doesn't burst all over the walls

“Cold weather is cold every year, people shouldn’t worry about several consecutive days of below freezing temperatures” I say as I turn all my faucets on so my pipes don’t freeze because it’s 40 degrees.

Phoenix gets an average low of 45 in January. I suppose they also never have to worry about freezing weather ever at all since that's just totally a normal thing for them every winter

you can add salt or whatever to water to decrease the freezing point. So what do they add to water to increase the freezing point

i was saying that people care about the overnight lows because they can dip into the low 20s and require wrapping pipes. overnight lows can be dangerous. the temps during all 24 hours of the day matter.

just because the average low in a month is 42 doesn't mean it's 42 every day. it could be 50, or it could be 20, even if the month averages out to a temperature above freezing. do you people understand lows? averages? the freezing point of water?

The other poster was saying people only care about highs because weather only happens when you're awake. i cant believe im having to type this out, i must be getting trolled

When was the last time it actually went below 20 degrees overnight in central texas? It doesn't even get to the point where anyone here have to worry about any poo poo freezing frequently like you're implying.

And here's the same model for the same morning but today's run.



It's quite likely there is going to be a big cold snap east of the Rockies.

As for central Texas, San Angelo dropped to 15F on March 12, 2022 and typically sees several days each year 20F or colder. In the Feb 2021 event it got to -1F there two consecutive days.

Cold can cause problems in many areas, even if you sitting at your mom's house are fine. So stfu.

Something that was not exactly right, and that's the point! No single iteration of a weather model is ever 100% accurate. That is why they are run literally hundreds of times each day, to produce a number of solutions that may or may not converge on a similar solution.

It also doesn't matter what this one model said today's weather would be ten days. We can correct for systemic biases but noise in the Earth's climate (weather) is not itself correctable.
