tcutter Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 from our philly thread............... JB blog title this AM - "Sympathy for the Devil" "I guess thats just about the way I felt, like the devil, when my son came into my office last night and said Dad, you are really getting slammed on the blogs, do you really think its going to get cold? After all the Fab Feb I had is a Feb Fib so far, and the set up to the 84-85 strat warm has not happened here in the states, though it certainly did in Europe. And of course your response, well we dont live in Europe. I dont expect sympathy for the devil, given the devil says things that dont happen so I realize where I stand in the winter weather loving community right now. Dont think its lost on me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 this guy has to be the biggest weenie out there he is saying that the precip might come much firther north as of a few minutes ago http://horizonweathe...ne-t383-75.html Didn't he used to post here?

NEG NAO Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Didn't he used to post here? yea on Eastern but he couldn't tolerate people getting on his case when he made nonsense calls so he created his own kingdom - problem is nobody posts over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrick Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yes...Ruggie is a pretty good forecaster iirc. He posted regularly at eastern. Can't imagine what he is seeing...it's pretty obvious that once the primary takes over, that strung out mess to our SW is going to dissipate....unless there is a magic upper level disturbance that captures it and redevelops a true secondary storm. A blob on radar doesn't equal a snow bomb. I'm a weenie and even I can accept that. haha Didn't he used to post here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out there with no model support, no rational argument, no bona fide signals for his iron-clad, looney, and consistently wrong positions. The height of his irresponsibilty and arrogance is his repeated claims that the models, and weather, will come around to his way of thinking. Huh? As someone else posted, the roids have probably fried this guy and he's just a shell of the forecaster he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB i mean i dont get it with him. Hes very knowledgable and well respected in the field of meteorology but his ego gets in the way and makes him look foolish. Why he cant just call it like it is and not hype us so much when clearly chances are slim at best for a certain storm is beyond me. Look hes a great meteorlogist who has an insatiable fondness and for weather and the desire to be the best at it he just needs to gather himself and be more rational and forecast instead of wishcast.

buckeye Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Somewhere back in this thread are tweets from JB claiming that places along 40 north would make up snowfall to the extent they would be nearing normal over the next 3 weeks. Said this a couple weeks ago. He also said 2 or 3 weeks ago that by now we would all be asking where spring was. Interesting, considering many of us will see short sleeved weather later this week. There are only one of two possibities for JB's incompetence. He has either made a calculated gamble that it is better to string out fantasy wishcasts to keep weenies following along, (even at the price of his reputation). Or, he is just a really really bad forecaster. I actually think it's option 1. He's become the Lindsay Lohan of forecasters. When talent doesn't exist at an intensity enough to make you rise above others, you instead rely on being the outrageous one in the group. It's too bad, there was a time, many years ago when I first followed his columns, when he was informative and grounded in his profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
