  1. Oh. Okay, my bad. I misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry.
  2. a powered leaf blower works wonders too.
  3. snow that can be cleared with a broom is the best. so easy.
  4. okie dokie yes, thats exactly what I'm saying.
  5. for sure. I wasn't trying to say that they were wrong, just that they shouldn't be take verbatim as a forecast to what any given location will received. lot more goes into forecasting snow totals than a digital snowmap
  6. Or, you use the snow map as just another tool to forecast. ratios depend on temperature, where the dg zone is etc. snow maps shouldn't be used as a standalone thing to make forecasts.
  7. then feel free to hug the weenie snow maps
  8. i highly doubt that the lower eastern shore will see a foot of snow out of this. but okay.
  9. snow depth is probably the better one to use.
  10. Sent Ava a text about my snow, and she wished me a happy weatherpersons day.
  11. love it. ill get it fixed right away.
  12. you're welcome to let me know what is considered short, medium and long range and I'd be happy to update how the threads are named instead of making snide comments about it.
  13. woke up to a dusting, still snowing
  14. You make it impossible to avoid banter
  15. Ha! It really was awesome. I made quite a few that summer, even one for a meteor shower that was happening. Also, my first or second night (I was there for both her newscasts) there was some bad severe weather, tornado warnings. It was crazy to watch what happens behind what we see on tv. Little alarms going off, a printer printing out warning text, trying to do radar and polygons and all that. I sat in the corner out of the way while her and Barry(?) were juggling it all. Seriously best summer gig ever
  16. I enjoy this mentality very much.
  17. She was a blast to work with. Taught me a lot of weather business stuff, we would hang out or go grab dinner somewhere in DC together between newscasts. That internship is actually what got me into mapping. I couldn’t hack the math for meteorology or the green screen for TV, but she taught me their graphic programs and I’d make fun weather graphics for her weather hits. You know those scenario maps that some Mets show? Well I interned there summer 2005 and was a busy hurricane season, I’d make those scenario type maps showing where a hurricane would go if the H was here vs somewhere else and she’d use them. It was awesome. Immediately changed my focus to cartography/GIS that fall when I went back to school lol
  18. You’re more than welcome to go enjoy this threat somewhere else.
