ECUPiratewx Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If I'm not supposed to ask this, someone just say so lol. I've never read many of the much talked of forecasters here (I read the one's that post here, that's about it) so excuse me if I'm just out of the loop but... are they usually this toxic towards anyone who disagrees with them? I looked at a few of their FB pages today (I know we're all out of the running for things, but I'm still interested in the system and seeing how forecasters are dealing with the range of outputs from the models)...just nasty. To the point that I'm surprised they aren't being reeled in by whomever they work for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECUPiratewx Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 They work for themselves buddy. Didn't realize...as I've said, I've never looked into them whatsoever.

WilkesboroDude Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You are crazy. I remember Brick saying I expect at least 6 inches for Raleigh like 5+ days out. At least I am not that crazy. Patience is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Forecasters are just people, some are ***holes and most aren't. Also, RAH just added actual snowfall accumulation to my forecast...up to .5" but still more than I'm expecting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I' m looking forward to the time change this coming weekend. That extra hour of daylight really helps to warm things up around here. I see what you did there. Iso, I really almost posted an explanation of how this time change worked when I saw your post. I apologize for even thinking that you might have been serious in that first post rather than speaking tongue-in-cheek. Thanks for helping me out, Disc!

WeatherNC Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It would appear a small group of us are heading to a farm about 10-15 miles south of Front Royal VA tomorrow afternoon. Kinda excited, been awhile since I have chased and that feeling knowing your about to witness something big cannot be described. Think we picked about as good a spot as any south of BOS should the GFS verify. Early on I was leaning towards CHO based on the Euro and HPC prob maps, but with the Americans locked in and the Euro slowly lifting that heaviest axis north of CHO, feel pretty good we should be within about 50 miles of the jackpot. 18z GFS and NAM precip maps below, respectively, with the circled area highlighting where were headed. Hopefully with the elevation we will have no mixing issues, and can get in to some better ratios compared to the 7:1's that may be closer the to the 95 corridor. Pretty much in full mode tonight \ Euro clown map over the past 3 runs courtesy of DT's bookface page, clearly sliding that heaviest axis north up towards northern VA, should meet ivo where the American are 2" +. 12z 3/3 0z 3/4 12z 3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he sits on his basement, or wherever, puts out a forecast and trashes anyone who disagrees with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
