Ian Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Kinda interesting they are keeping the Q name for the new storm that forms off the coast. http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/winter-storm-q-northeast-boston-20130220 I'm not sure there is a strong argument either way as its connected to the original low that impacted the Plains but more of making the rules as they go I suppose.

I wish we didn't have to have TWC on one of our SADs at work. I can't stand accidentally catching glimpses of them pushing science forward on a daily basis. I suppose I'm just envious is all.

I think that is it as the low is connected to the original low but also is due to another shortwave that comes east and induces it on the front.

Yeah, our management is old school and still thinks TWC shows our zones. J/k...but it is on pretty much daily. What a dreary channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish TWC still showed NWS HGX forecasts. The local office really did put out better forecasters than TWC does. I wonder how long Jim Cantore was in a studio recording words for a computer to string together to make it sounds like he reads our local forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really went down hill when they started doing everything in-house, and airing prerecorded material. Their local forecasts are useless these days as they've cut them down to a minute.

tacoman25 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 They picked a bad season to start this. Though it started out weak, 2012-13 really has had an unusual number of major winter-type storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from memory, no research, but they also burned a lot of names early on mediocre systems. They loved having a Twitter hashtag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree they started with pretty loose standards (probably due in part to the lackluster winter across most the country last year), and then were increasingly forced to name storms later in the season that were truly impactful/historic.
