weatherpruf Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Joe Cioffi going 6-10 now in warning areas and 4-6 in advisory areas. Really? WNYC going with 3-6 for the city and " a little" more for central NJ, I believe Craig Allen has stuck with 4-8. In the end, if we check in at 6 they would all be correct. It looks like a 3-6 storm to me, which I am fine with, it is coming down steady now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Their are certain forecasters who low ball every storm...Forecasts yesterday calling for 1-3 and lowering projections last night when guidance was coming in snowier...just bad forecasting.

PB GFI Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The point is , this is a city of 15 million and 25 million in the tri state area and the NWS posts a Winter Storm Warning with 6 to 8 and local forecasters ignore it . Shameful . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful . In the local forecasters defense it probably was never a good idea to ride the 24-36" NWS had on Jan 26th. Point is, the NWS messes up a lot and its up to the local forecasters to make their own call. I think still important to mention the winter storm warning and point how they differ from what the NWS is thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 JB whining hard today on the raging weather wimp about his lack of snow in his BY, pretty funny.This entire forum would be up in arms if I-95 had the winters Central PA's had over the last decade. I-95 has been on a big time hot streak. State College averages more snow than Boston but several times didn't even catch up to NYC totals. In 05-06 there was essentially no snow besides little 1-2" systems after Christmas, and many PA ski resorts had to close. 2/11/06, which gave NYC it's record, was one of those 1-2"ers. It was beyond miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beyond miserable. State College averages in the low to mid 50's, no? Much more in the higher spots...in practically every direction. Everybody north & west of Harrisburg usually has a good snowy winter in PA...Harrisburg, being east of the mountains...usually has mediocre winters.

yhbrooklyn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 DT is on the nam bandwagon for this storm, thinks it's trending south... This was his last call. I think he did ok. 6-10 for most of the area. He was off for eastern LI and parts of northern NJ. And he had the transition times mostly correct.

UNV averages about 45" per winter, the mountains of SW PA can reach 200" in a few spots due to the upslope. Johnstown averages about 75", Williamsport around 40". The area has had some decent and above average winters in the last 10 years but nothing hugely above average and some real stinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
