Yeah that Fredericksburg area must be getting some really good snow right now. Need that to start making progress north.
-
Definitely does. The northeast movement seems to have stopped though. Seems like it keeps all hitting a wall in NOVA and not rotating up this way.
-
Remember to slant stick. All flakes matter!
-
I'm actually getting some accumulation in some colder spots on the deck, mulch, etc. Really would love to see that stuff down in Dale City area continue to blossom and rotate up this way. Could actually get something out of this.
-
Snow picking up now. Like a little squall or shower. Started as just a few big flakes. Now it's a lot more much smaller flakes.
-
Flurries in Ellicott City! Radar is blossoming. January 2000!
-
The good news is the GFS isn't usually right. The bad news is it's usually right when it doesn't show snow.

Ji is the best. It's fine until there is a real storm, people tune him out because of the constant hype, and then it does cause issues. People lose trust in forecasters when they are constantly wrong, and then they get ignored.

The problem isn't most of us on this board who know how he can be and also have some decent weather knowledge. He "woofs" over clouds in the sky, so I don't buy into it. The problem is his legions of followers who are oblivious when it comes to weather and read that stuff and eat it up. It's irresponsible.

DT said it and was hyping the 12/28 storm.
-
Best pattern since 1996!
-
So we are out to January now? The storm after the storm after the storm?
-
Pretty sure it was the Valentine's Day storm in 14.
-
Poor Ji.
-
I'm a relative novice, but to my eyes, it looks like a big trough in the west, so it's flooding the eastern half of the country with pacific air.
-
Agreed. Maybe next time he should say that.
-
2010 produced back-to-back HECS. I guess we can circle back to this convo after our back-to-back HECS in early January.
-
Facts?
-
I heard something happened in 2010.
-
He called that, but so did literally everyone in the world. The NAO was rising then. It was pretty easy. I like how you left off him woofing about the complete swing and miss in early December.
-
LOL. If you want to take things out of context, that's on you. I have no problem with him, or anyone, saying there is lots of potential and opportunities. There certainly is. But invoking best pattern since 1996 given what we've seen over the past 25 + years is insanity and it's hyping. There are people who actually go to him for their weather needs. There are people that read this board who are weather novices eating this stuff up. It's irresponsible.

"Better than anything since 1996 blizzard."
-
That's fine, but he was woofing for the swing and a miss in early December, and saying it's the best look since 1996 is ridiculous. No credible met would say that.
-
If he keeps changing the dates enough times, he will get it right one time!
-
Fringed!
