wxmeddler Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ouch! 24 for the low.. The lowest I saw from anyone was NWS-BOX with 25. Props to them and their grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2Otown_WX Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Finished 22nd in the nation for KMSY, but not doing so hot already in KPVD, temp has dropped like a rock...grr I live relatively close to PVD and this place is stumping me...hoping it's my drop city lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 So the lowest score in each semester is dropped? Meh, I wish I could pick 2 from last semester instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It's a shame nobody else at VU is even trying anymore. If they were I wouldn't keep coming in 1st. 44th overall. I wish in the future they would delete inactive players. Like after the 4th climo-ed forecast in a row, they're dropped, so we can see how many people are actually still playing.

I know there are almost 2000 "participants", but I want to know how many people are actually playing. 62nd in PVD, after being 448th through day 6. I'll take it.

Dsnowx53 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Pretty windy in KABQ! And interesting that the 18z GFS had a huge spike in the high temperature. I ended up going 51/37/40/0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 47/34/36/0.00 A tad skeptical on that 45 kts on the 18z GFS MOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/getclimate.php?wfo=abq Looks like a 45mph (39 knot) climate report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 http://www.nws.noaa....ate.php?wfo=abq Looks like a 45mph (39 knot) climate report. Yea, quite a bit higher than the hourly METAR reports... but not too surprising given expectations. Looks quite a bit more tranquil today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 forgot my forecast for the first (but certainly not the last) time this semester. oh well, i had guidance in and i haven't guidance-d yet so no penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Temp just jumped 10°F in the last hour with a DP of 3.7°F. And some Altocumulus lenticular clouds to the south and SE.

Thunder Road Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 wtf is with guidance going 61 knots today at ABQ? I only went like 21 or something, which is proving to be a major low-ball, but really? 61 knots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went like 21 or something, which is proving to be a major low-ball, but really? 61 knots? The resolution of the GFS can't properly handle the topography, I think. It has consistently been high (though this is absurd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I feel like I've been pretty lazy this semester as far as my forecasting goes, yet I did pretty decent at Providence and finished 219th at Albuquerque. Still around 500th for the semester and ~425th for the year, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The resolution of the GFS can't properly handle the topography, I think. It has consistently been high (though this is absurd). Then what was the problem with the NAM being so absurdly low every day? That 18z GFS run wasn't too far off from reality that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdudemike Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I feel like I'm taking a shot in the dark with precip. Yeah seriously. The precip history for March so far shows anything from a trace to 4.8 inches LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I hurriedly entered my forecast right before my lab this evening. I just got back and saw this in my email. You entered the following forecast for PHTO - Day 8 (20120323). Forecasts are in (High/Low/Wind/Precip) format.75 / 66 / 77 / 0.00 The forecast was removed from the system for the following reason(s): - Your wind speed is statistically abnormal. :axe: I meant to put a 7 knots in for my wind speed and instead entered 77 knots. FML. A missed forecast I can't really afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The first week of PHTO was the second week of spring break for me, so I guidance'd twice and climo'd once in one week. Therefore, I'm solidly in the 800's. Drop city here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
