winterwarlock Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Amy is anything but awkward. I find the comments about tv mets laughable as if they arent suppose to banter. No one wants to see a pimply faced nerd doing the weather. Perhaps Amy makes your insides feel uncomfortable. She is in the leading media market in the world and a success story on and off the air as well as giving back to the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is in the leading media market in the world and a success story on and off the air as well as giving back to the community Yes she does give back to the community but most public figures in NYC do that anyway. She had a rough time at her last stop in Chicago. A quick google search will explain that so idk what's so special about her. You seem to think that because people think she's awkward in her delivery on-air that we are uncomfortable with attractive women which is just weird to even have that thought in your head. Then again, you're very weird so I guess that explains it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad, she, at least in my opinion, seemed to be quite good. Did she post as Heidi The Horrible on the previous board?I remember a TV weather person from, I guess, 50 years ago. Her first name was Susanna and she played a uke. after each forecast. She married Tex Antoine (sp?). Not sure if they were on the same station.

Expand Everyone more or less did. JB, DT, HM and Steve D all more or less had the same idea last winter. Somewhat mild in December and then cold, that basically verified but the December warmth was off the charts and the cold was muted the first half of January. The anomalies were off significantly because of that but I've seen worse overall seasonal forecasts before like the 13-14 winter which almost everyone had mild and snowless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Didn't he call for AN snow for NYC last year while some called for 97/98 snow less type season ? Everyone missed +12 in DEC. In the end his temp forecast was a disaster, but I think most were. Lastly , His basin wide NINO call with its record heat in 3.4 and 4 were a lot better than the calls of East based made by some. Anyway thats last year and this winter is way too early for me to call / see . Will give that a real shot come the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The Weatherbell forecast isn't Bastardi's forecast. The whole weatherbell crew is part of the forecast. Everyone calls it Bastardi's forecast but that is not accurate. If it was Bastardi's forecast, it would probably be colder. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
