Bob Chill Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Some advice.... 50% of the people are wrong 100% of the time. And 4 out of 3 people have problems with fractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 this stuff is all about how one communicates it and expectations..what we are capable of and confidence levels and how broad brush something is and context all matter....I think most of us realize that who do the MR and LR stuff...That it is lower confidence is already embedded....Nobody is going to begin every post with "I really have no idea what I am talking out".....the lower confidence level is implied...this is fun stuff to discuss and there is some skill involved depending on how specific one gets.... we're mostly arguing two sides of the same coin. the difference is getting or missing that one 'lucky' storm probably. i have no clue if it will happen. i just lean pessimistic given where we've been. i generally limit my thoughts to what i see in front of me on the models and/or extrapolated out a smidge. our disagreements line up along whether we have 4 or 5 weeks of winter left.. whether we'll get a 2" storm or a 4" storm etc. but again i've praised your winter forecast more than i can ever remember praising a seasonal outlook. i'll be more careful with my words i guess.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 who is doing that?..we arent being delusional but we are rooting for snow...Why can't we do that? Because fun is frowned upon in the MA forum. Reminds me of the old saying " the beatings will continue until morale improves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Because fun is frowned upon in the MA forum.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Personally I find Bob to be garbage, he's a cool guy on the air, but he's just not that great at forecasting. I'll take Sue Polka thanks to her ole VD 87 storm Topper is the man down in those parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
