smokeybandit Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I only got a little bit less snow than I had gotten at any time this past winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 You guys are just bitter that you didn't get any snow this winter, so you're taking it out on poor BB. Better him than all the jock sniffers who thought his ridiculous prediction should be given merit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohleary Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 lol. He made a really dumb "forecast" and we have every right to call him out for the BS that it was. It wasn't dumb! It was scientifically derived and based on a formula. Like astrology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I had 8.7 inches after that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Well, in BB's defense. He was about as good as the pro's who get paid well for long range winter weather forecasts. Here's a couple of gems from accuwx back in early Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 So Accuwx should hire him? Seems like he is right up their alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 OMG, that accuweather map is too funny. It is almost complete opposite of what actually occurred. The upper midwest had the highest temp anomalies, and the only winter in the country to speak of occurred around the 4-corners. I beleive even FL ended up with some negative temp anomalies. Perhaps they did alright with the PAC NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had my "Sno"shovel ready and waiting since late January. I must be Rip van Winkle. I completely missed that I-81 winter I was promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely missed that I-81 winter I was promised. Seems like we are promised that each year, and each year it fails. All joking aside, I can't think of a winter since 1996 (maybe) where I-81 did better than I-95. I should probably preface that remark by specifying our portion of the I-81 corridor. SW and Central VA did outperform I-95 in those areas this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I accumulated ~2.3" snow for the season where I'm at. However, salt accumulation on the roads was significantly greater, especially where it drifted! Same can be said about the amount of cherry blossom petals from the past couple or so weeks!

Amped Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Just to set the record straight HM called for plenty of snow too this winter. Although I have to admit, making fun of BB is a lot more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Just to set the record straight HM called for plenty of snow too this winter. Although I have to admit, making fun of BB is a lot more fun. the real reason people were critical of BB was his wolf number argument and his claiming we would get record snowfall during the late feb-march period in a la nina year when big storms are not the norm. Don S. pretty much debunked his methodology and he still claimed it would work despite the low correlations that Don pointed out. Essentially he was proclaiming he had pretty much invented the new way of long range forecasting (sort of like the guy who discovered the new math back on eastern). He also claimed that it had never failed him. I guess because he had never used it before. Anyone who has made forecasts for any length of time has busted. Anyway, he got what he was after which was attention. Obviously, I'm bored or I wouldn't have bit on your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just to set the record straight HM called for plenty of snow too this winter. Although I have to admit, making fun of BB is a lot more fun. This was my forecast: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/20084-looking-ahead-to-winter-2011-2012/page__st__455__p__1016254#entry1016254 The stratospheric warming induced storm mid-winter obviously failed. My forecast for the local DC snowfall special was accurate along with the cold shot post-New Years and a very warm / crappy March for snow. I admited I was wrong already but thanks for setting the record straight again douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your balls trying to forecast specific storms way out even if a lot of them don't verify. Nobody else on the board understands the atmosphere as well as you do. We also cannibleised anyone with the slightest bit of optomism in their forecast during this winter of despair so don't feel like your alone. And while I'm at it I'll apologize to BB too. J/K he is still a weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
