Bodhi Cove Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 some places that got 20" were forecast to get 4" wtf actually my guess is the new england mets were too busy making fun of us to look in our forum to see that we were predicting the storm to screw dc and hit boston The storm should be referred to as Crazy Ivan*. *For those not familiar with the quote: Beaumont: What's goin' on?! Seaman Jones: Russian captains sometime turn suddenly to see if anyone's behind them. We call it "Crazy Ivan." The only thing you can do is go dead. Shut everything down and make like a hole in the water. Beaumont: So what's the catch? Seaman Jones: The catch is, a boat this big doesn't exactly stop on a dime... and if we're too close, we'll drift right into the back of him.

isohume Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I agree...it's the kind of careless post I'd expect you to make. Although I do think NWS should remove that T from the record to be technically accurate, since it's under the "Snow" column. Reporting hail as snow goes back to grouping hail with snow pellets and graupel based on a similar freezing process to ice nuclei. Doubt NCDC will change the classification anytime soon. We had a T "snow" here at GSP last July on the hottest day of the year. The CF6 columns do account for hail with the 5 code under wx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can do is laugh. They average more snow than we do, but it's spiraled completely out of control at this point. It's not even worth being disappointed by it any more.

stormtracker Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So we're going to pretend like we don't see the potential snow event on the GFS around the 18th? I'm fine with that if we can collectively keep it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's pretty good, especially if it goes farther below us. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do it, but it was probably because you're creating a thread about a specific threat NINE days from now. That'd be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the fact that Ji already started a thread. I figure 2 threads for a threat that's 9 days away in MARCH is a bit of overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
