That sort of forecast is delusional. 21 minutes ago · 2 I'm not sure delusional is the correct word, but DT and JB have become a joke. Neither of them are forecasting, they are just playing meteorological wack-a-mole....and playing it terribly. When one does happen to hit one they start crowing about how only they had the skillz to do it. I just read thru DT's FB page and I have whip lash following his FEB thoughts. Starts out basically saying winter is over, then a week later comes close to an apology for speaking too soon and failing to see the pattern change that could bring winter back for FEB. Then today goes back to what looks like a winter's over post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT is simply swaying with the Euro--not sure of JB's methodology, but it's the same thing, winter's coming, then a post saying he busted and then the next day saying that he's figured out what's wrong and winter's back...meanwhile, we're at 2/6/12, it's 55 degrees out and no snow in sight as the models simply push it all out ala 01-02.

Stormlover74 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Just like that clipper 2 years ago that every model showed dying out over the mountains yet he insisted we'd see 3-6". I think I saw a coating at most. I expect a similar outcome this go around too.

Yup-he called for 3-6 earlier this week and his new map shows 1 for everyone except up to 3 in South central PA...NYC is on the northern edge of the 1 inch line. What a joke. No mention of the weekend storm anymore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the more you are correct in your predictions the more people will actually pay up and or extend their subscriptions... Besides he gives out most of his thinking on his tweets/facebook page anyway...lol...which seems like something he couldnt do so much at Accuweather.
