Disc Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The NAM is good for QPF porn, at least: I like how I only get into the 0.10-0.25 in western VA. Maybe it'll be snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Are we as bad with wishcasting as the sne subforum? Ive never spent much time there but outside of the insanely awesome mets the weenies are relentless with Sandy. Idk- when our respected mets say the same thing more than once or twice it seems like the vast majority in the ma forum just sthu and learn. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ian Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 That's the guy on channel 4? On Monday at 6 his exact quote was "we will not be affected at all by Sandy" yeah tho why people were jumping in to make a forecast at 7-8 days out is beyond me as those calls were pretty much all wrong but he's not instilling any confidence in his ability given his talk on twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan was downplaying of course, saying landfall up the coast. Topper was hedging with some probability forecasts. Kammerer was hitting the storm hard, going with the lower Delmarva hit and an earlier arrival, even conceding that other outlets were going for a Tuesday event, but differing with a Monday impact. He was very bullish then. i was surprised, as DC TV guys are always conservative. First time I ever watched the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mention when most were saying it was a likely miss that didn't make sense. This is a discussion we've had here plenty--not sure the need to make calls so far out. My biggest takeaway from something like this is the meteorological community is NOWHERE CLOSE to providing the level of communication they act like they want.

I don't think it's that far off. Weather is a very competitive and massive business. IF the interaction comes together as every model seems to want to show it, someone's gonna get smoked in addition to a lot of places taking a pretty hefty hit. But, there's been a very noticeable free flow of very loose information often backed up with something like "we've never seen this before" almost as a legitimization of taking illogical or extreme leaps. The internet has changed communication so much that short rapid fire sound bites of exciting information are treated as more important than facts in a lot of cases. I'm not sure it's really "wrong" or hurting anyone but I don't believe that it lies within what the seeming interest of everyone in presenting things in a more digestible and trusted format.

yoda Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Kammerer is already "forecasting" 60+ mph winds (I would guess gusts? He didnt say nor did his map) Monday afternoon across the listening area on the Channel 4 11 pm newscast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I went out earlier this morning to get some stuff at the grocery store as my wife and I have guests staying with us tonight. surprisingly empty store, and the bread aisle was even in pretty good shape. the bottled water section was hurting, but i was surprised at the general lack of ransacking. perhaps that'll come tonight and tomorrow?

jnis Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I need a Saturday am reality check. I've read so much I'm hitting a saturation point. Correct me if I am wrong, but at this point for central MD it is becoming increasing likely we will see sustained winds in the 25 to 40 mph range with higher gusts. 3-6" of rain with possible flooding. Potential wide spread power outages. Anyone feeling like it will be more or less extreme at this point based on current data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 doublecheck b/c we have a 2800 watts to run 28 amps in the RV. I was looking forward to your obs in SnowLand. I have an older and smaller fridge that is only 700 watt, if that. According to the spec sheet the gen can get that and a couple other small items. I have gas heat so running a furnace is no issue either cause the blower fan is 1/3 hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
