Well we've had storms where that happens, but we also had plenty of awful busts inside of 96 hours too. A lot of them were in our favor though so we don't have a vitriolic reaction to the models when that happens....take 1/27/11, Boxing Day 2010, 12/16/07, etc. We really remember the bad ones a lot more like 2/10/10, this past December with the Euro and now a couple of the recent storms this January.

I do think we had a decent stretch in 2009 where the Euro was on such a roll we could almost bank it from 4 days out, but that was really the exception rather than the rule working there.

A lot of it depends on the pattern too. I do agree about the fast flow in this pattern being an issue, I have never thought otherwise. But we get plenty of snow events (and good ones too) in fast flow, so there is more to it than just that. Models definitely seem to have trouble in the very fast flow...esp if the shortwaves are coming in from the NW territories.

 

Thanks Will.  I think we have become accustomed to solutions being "locked in" in that 3-4 day range historically on the forums and that just has not been the case in my recent memory.  The PAC is really messing with the models.

Did Noyes tweet anything about inland?

 

Was "mix at the coast" not all he said?

 

He could very well think precip brushes the cape and thinks its gonna be warmer than models show right now. That has never happened now, has it? Expecting snow and got rain?

 

Mix at the coast in the real world means mix at the coast. Translated to weenie it means "The storm is coming close enough to taint the s coast/cape and inland is getting clobbered w/snow"

Agreed.

Maybe I'm blinded but it seemed like a few years ago, once a solution locked in around 96h or so, that more or less came to fruition.  Now it just seems as though there is more chaos in the models and their output.  Especially this past few weeks where right up to 24h the models were drastically changing.  S/W's just seem to me more of a mess as of late than they used to be.

I started a thread ago a couple years back asking why it seemed that forecasting was more accurate 10-15  yrs ago. Do we now have too much information/data to interpret and make an accurate forecast these days? I'm talking mostly about precip type events- rain or snow.

Yesssah

He doesn't have a pay for subscription site. He's not trying trying to suck anyone into anything. He knows full well if he busts he loses viewers and ratings. So I don't understand this idea of sucking people in. By mentioning a mix of rain and snow on the coast , I can't possibly see how that is hype or trying to lure innocent victims into the back of his white, windowless custom van

 

monetizing twitter is what gives it value and anyone with more than their friends as followers uses it as such. it's february a ratings month, eyeballs on his blog equals $s from advertisers. not making a judgement on his forcast, just pointing out how social media can be used

Meh here right now, just a few lonely flurries despite the radar showing snow overhead. We had a squall move through here around 10:00am this morning, but nothing really accumulated. It is cold though at 24F.

 

The squalls are moving quickly Southeast, so you might get another one soon.

What I'm saying is that I really don't think the meteorology is impacted by ratings. The presentation yes (especially the news part of it)...meteorology no.

 

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. While weather drives ratings without a doubt there's nothing that makes me want to "play up" a storm if it's not going to be a big deal. It makes me look stupid hyping up a storm lol. 

 

I can see weather hype helping with gaining social media/blog followers, however.
