CapturedNature Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am a map sucking up fool Why is there a disconnect with BOX's snowfall map and BOX's watch map? Is the 10-14" in CT/RI not the same as that in MA? I'm liking that more guidance is on-board. I hope this morning's runs hold true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What's the big deal lol.As Joe D agreed it has created mass confusion and public unawareness. I recall several times when you questioned why no watches in your area. Pot kettle black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ursa99 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I was looking at pictures from the 78 Blizzard - how in the world did cars get trapped on 128? I highly doubt that would ever happen today. Looks like 6 inches was initially forecasted... I was on 128 South just before a tractor trailer jackknifed and started the big mess. Undoubtedly other accidents would have happened to cause the same thing but as I recall that is what started it. Quite a memorable event and still my #1.

RobbieL241 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Only excuse for no watches further south could be GFS influence in the forecast. My P&C forecast has mixing on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Seriously WhoTF cares about watches this morning I mean its Wed. So silly. How about just for consistency? It confuses the public (which I know is aware) but since I work in one state and live in another, I can tell you that some people are confused between what they hear on TV and read on the Web. Not to mention it adds to notion that weather people (yes, the public lumps everyone in one bucket) doesn't know what they are talking about. I personally don't care but I'm just showing the discrepancy. It happens all the time...big deal. I just like showing it when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a fun 24 hours of model watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well have to say first time in two years I have looked at all my major storm bookmarks. One common theme from CT River East is a Beast, West is still a great storm minus the big winds. I was just thinking about how I'm fine with no big wind as long as I can watch hours of SN+ coming straight down. Creates a beutiful silence when you are out in it.

PWMan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Who cares. LOL -- "confusing to the public." More like, "gives me a feeling of inadequacy 'cause I didn't have a watch like everybody else." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Why is there a disconnect with BOX's snowfall map and BOX's watch map? Is the 10-14" in CT/RI not the same as that in MA? I'm liking that more guidance is on-board. I hope this morning's runs hold true. Watches are to highlight the potential that snowfall totals may reach or exceed 6 inches in a 12 hour period. It's not a forecast per se, nor does it have to line up perfectly with the forecast totals. I mean they aren't forecasting snowfall totals for every last town in every state. I think people read into this stuff too much sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 GFS has an ugly dryslot and screw zone for a lot of us. A weird look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Those srefs up the ante. Something big is coming for those that are predominantly snow... So we're going to ignore the fact that the SREF's have been nigh unusable garbage all year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Unlike previous systems this one just keeps getting better in both streams. Lots of activity at the local mass highway plow station. They'll probably have an easier time down here with some potential mix or change but lots or lost overtime about to be made up! Will see how this plays out today. Best place to be will be to my NW it seems. Jerry to bob to ginxy to will jackpot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
