The thing about DT is that I would follow him all the time as he was outstanding at giving us central VA people false hope. After a year or so I realized that he would simply hug whatever model gave RIC the most snow and roll with it. I can think of at least 2 or 3 occasions where he had an epic bust because of that mentality.

Funny thing is, people always tend to qualify their criticism of DT with something along the lines of "don't get me wrong, I think DT is really smart..."

My response to that would be that in my 3 years of lurking around these forums, the analysis here is light years ahead of what I could find on his FB page.

You are a big ass egotistical jackass who needs to grow the hell up! All you do is use this page posturing like an immature little kid! People USED to come to this page to get a different view of the weather, but any self respecting professional would not enter into these foolish games! You must be an insecure nerd or something, or those PEDs and Steroids you are on you must have OD'd on them or something! Forecast the weather and STFU with all of this stupid childishish banter!! PLEASE GROW THE HELL UP!!!! HAVE AT LEAST A LITTLE SELF RESPECT!!!! SMH...

Quantitative precipitation forecast. As a fellow novice, when I'm up against a mystery acronym I find googling the acronym plus the word weather often leads me to the answer.

 

 

Ah, I guess that would have been useful for me to include, eh?  Quantitative precipitation forecast, I believe.

 

Edit:  Kay, you have fingers of lightning.  I yield to your superior response times.

 

 

QPF is Met speak for Quantitative Precipitation Forecast.

NOAA puts out QPF forecasts on a regular basis.  You can see the latest here: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/qpf2.shtml

Thank you all for being so helpful!

There are about 6 accounts created within the last 12 hours that are trolling him hard. I'm pretty sure all of those are accounted for on this board. The one you quoted is another shell account.

 

You in on it Jay?

He is good at sniffing out future threats. However, he holds on to ideas WAY too long, and is an ***hole in doing so. It gets old fast.

Starting to feel good that forecast amounts in DC could still creep up even farther later tonight or tomorrow.  Anyone have any guesses on what LWX will forecast for city of DC/Arlington? Still, a very tough call with major bust potential in either direction but things trending good today.

it hasn't been real great on our area this year

if this ends up playing out as currently proged, I say the NAM wins for leading the way

prob more gfs leading but yes, the nam has gone against it's typical crazytalk beyond 48 hrs this time.

One thing we should all take away from this is that the gfs was simply steadfast for 24-48 hours. No burps or farts. Way way too many people were discounting that because the goldenchild euro didn't agree. If it was the other way around it wouldn't have been that way at all.

The gfs is the second best global in the world and all globals have their strengths. Euro does exceptional in nino's with stj's and -nao's. GFS has proven this year that it's a superior model with ns ull's. At least in our yards. I hope people can remember this but probably not.

Can one of the experts give a short summary of why accumulation predictions coming in seem to be more conservative than QPF totals would dictacte?  With Euro trending up to 1.20 for DCA and GFS in the 1.7 range (not to mention the over-juiced NAM at 2.00), even if the truth is in middle -- say, 1.5" of precip -- and even with crappy warm-temp ratios in the 7:1 range, we should still be talking about 10+ inches of snowfall.  But nobody is predicting that as an acculation total.

 

Are people not buying the upward QPF trend in the Euro and expecting a regress?  Are people worried about delayed transition to snow?  What factors are leading to those concerns?

 

Any info would be appreciated.
