REDMK6GLI Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 it is extraordinary how unwatchable they have become. i literally feel anger when watching the weather channel. their insidious attempt to incorporate storms into their brand by naming them... and then vocally vomiting the name every 20 seconds for days on end is the equivalent of chinese water torture. Weather channel is DEAD. Brings a tear to my eye they really got me into weather and to see them pretty much on the brink of failure is really sad.

coastalplainsnowman Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Two things about the weather channel that I find incredible: 1 - that NBC believed that there was a business case for paying $5billion for it 2 - that they attempted to guilt Direct TV into carrying it recently, making it a matter of public safety, when they never show any weather in prime time unless/until a severe event is already underway.

RU848789 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Completely disagree on TWC. Sure, the naming of storms is annoying, but that's a corporate decision and something their mets have to support if they want jobs. More importantly, though, I think they've raised their game quite a bit with their expert discussions, even to the extent of discussing model output for at least the Euro and GFS, evaluating the pros and cons of each. And I've always liked their field reporters, for the most part. WeatherNation is pitiful, in contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metsfan Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My take is that we have a good shot of not seeing much snow for March. Am I wrong? Frankly that's ok with me at this point. I am not seeing a lot of snow chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The only thing I miss about twc is Dr. Forbes during severe weather outbreaks since those unfold in real time. They don't really pertain to us here on the east coast anyway but still fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 March will be -2.5 degrees with 0.7" of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 With this board, DT, JB, as well as various solid TV mets, why would we watch either TWC or the DTV replacement ? Agree. I haven't watched a TV weathercast or TWC in years, no need to with the boards and NOAA online forecasts/radars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Craig Allen A stronger storm will be developing along the coast on Wednesday but the question still remains as to how close it will be, beforeit tracks offshore. I think it's a good early bet for a couple inches of snow; whether or not it's more and calls out the plows remains to be seen.The next chance will come next weekend as the same type of scenario sets up.Sorry folks; winter is definitely still with us.

IsentropicLift Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 ABC7 Their caption " Get your shovels ready for Wednesday " I'd like to know what model that is based off of. If the snow is that widespread most modeling indicates it would only be for an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the Feb 1967 blizzard also a 2 part storm where a wave came out first with a positively tilted trough and the southwest upper feature simply fed itself into the northern branch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
