HM Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bold! About half the storms the models have had as cutters became supressed or whiffs. I don't see that statement above as providing anything but more of the same. No offense but we keep hearing how much better things look and end up getting less and less snow This post is a great example of why this subforum has become very difficult to participate in. I have a whole slew of posts over the last few days that explain my thoughts and why I think the data is doing what it is doing. At no point in the last few days did I ever consider or want to consider your perception of what you think you're hearing. In fact, the kind of information you might be looking for (not just straight model reading) is at your fingertips. So, just do us a favor: start reading more and shut up already. <insert smiley to make it sound humorous> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't been right at a percentage that's higher than anyone else, probably no need to be mocking people or getting all wound up when someone points out the obvious which is that about half the 7-10 day systems that were west ended up underneath us including a bunch that ended up being nothing at all.

This system as well as the past few have trended away from favorable solutions to nothing more than flurries to a couple inches. Not what we expect up here historically in the heart of winter and in a respectable cold pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't been right about much of anything this winter. No offense, smiley inserted. That thing gave the outer cape 3" and even where you are got less than an inch.

The clipper this morning leads me to believe I'm on the right track Keep finding stuff to support your call. Just look to the last few events when we were within a couple days of them and look how they trended as we got within that 48h period. This thing is going that way as well.

The dialogue is good and has improved a lot in a lot of the other sub forums now. I think we are in a temporary funk now due to frustration. On this forum, when there is frustration, people don't leave...they just express their frustration here. It gets difficult. The models have just been cruel to us. You said 3 weeks ago that they would suck and that is what I am pinning my hopes on. They have sucked when they've shown storms and hopefully they suck today in showing not much. I don't believe we have a cold dry 7-10 in front of us, no matter what a model shows. HPC says overrunning comes to the NE in the 5-6 day timeframe I think.

Making that threat a total non-event except a Cape Scraper was perfectly valid. Not the point Will and you should know by now I really don't care about MBY if I did and it was about snow I wouldn't live where I do, I'd live in Kevin's garage. Those 1-3, and I thought there were some 4" reports would make it one of the larger storms of the winter. Just because it didn't hit Boston or Worcester.... it'll probably have provided more snow than what's now a 30 page thread on a cloud passing event. NOBODY has had an exceptional year pro or otherwise forecasting. About the only one I've seen with a real thumb on things is QVector. I was tongue and cheek with the person posting about an event 7-10 days away and it is probably just about a 50/50 proposition that half the forecast cutters ended up under us or gonzo. It wasn't a shot at HM, simple statement that I don't think at day 7-10 in this pattern anyone has really had a strong handle on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If we got the snowfall kevin forecasts for every event this winter, we wouldn't be so frustrated. That's correct, because we'd be dead. It's like having an overly optimistic young child or person with severe mental disabilities happily running around a room full of fully-functional adults. His cheery nonsense is tolerable in good times, but when things run dry, everyone just kind of wants to wind up and bitchslap the runt of the logical litter that won't shut up. Of course, this is one of the finest types of moments in this subforum, at least for comedy value; another coulda-woulda-shoulda been event withers in the models from what once seemed promising, and even many of the usually-stoic posters take on a thirst for blood. Then somebody gets eaten, the posts get cleaned out, a threat appears around day five, and the circle of weather board life continues. Delicious.

It wasn't a shot at HM, simple statement that I don't think at day 7-10 in this pattern anyone has really had a strong handle on things. You got angry and said how you really feel: you think my forecasting has sucked this year which is a shot at me. Once again you continue to distort reality over and over and post about your distorted reality of things over and over again to the point where good conversation about the weather gets lost. You are in NO position to make a comment about medium range accuracy, period. In fact, you should feel privileged to be part of a forum that openly discusses possibilities beyond day 3. The reason you are in no position to make a comment about accuracy is because you clearly don't understand where the science is and what forecasting is capable of beyond a certain point. You lack the basics of chaos theory, modeling etc. and you probably don't pay for long range forecasts (but maybe you do, I don't know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
