Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Which is why this crusade is tiresome. You think different? Good for you, I have my own opinion. yes...my opinion is entirely subjective and CWG's is "somewhat subjective"...CWG's warmth pandering crusade is tiresome too....and why the gross pandering to a stupid audience that stabbed you in the back after March 6th?

Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 ...and if they said "mid-to-upper 70s" you'd berate them that it was only 70 at DCA and they were hyping the heat. no I wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 What if it was branded as "completely subjective"? I honestly think that is a much better and more accurate branding..."Daily digit is the forecaster's subjective rating on what they think of the weather that day" CWG has a ridiculous warm bias...I think out of sync with the public in the averages....

That's worth considering. As for your second point, you'd have to take it up with the editors.

My witty and humorous quips for the digit rarely make it through I think CWG doesnt always realize how out of sync they are... March 25th was a great example...CWG ended up playing catch-up all day on the 26th once they realized the public didn't share the same disdain for the storm that they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Presumably, they were looking at the most recent observation when they made that post. All I can say is sorry to those up there dealing with 79 at 11 in the morning in early April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 All I can say is sorry to those up there dealing with 79 at 11 in the morning in early April! Just hit 79 degrees here as well. It's really not bad. Humidity is 46%, which is about as optimal as it can be for comfort. There is also a nice breeze going. However, I'm also 45 miles northwest of downtown DC, so it's probably less comfortable down there than it is here. A very pleasant day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I like it but ~70 preferred in eary April.One thing I try to do with the digit is align with prior digits. In that sense wouldn't have gone 10 if yesterday was a 7.

If it were 70 instead of 80F, then I'd agree. Dewpoint here is 55F (rel humidity 40%), and while we'd be glad to have that in 3 months, in early April it is not comfortable at all.

Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 There has been a lot more rebellion today against CWG telling us how awesome this weather is.....I think a stretch of +3-+4 days would be nice for most people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 As hard of a time that I have given him, I actually think Camden, from doing so much facebook duty, has a better gauge on what the public is looking for in terms of weather....You are going to get a fair amount of dissension when you pound away the idea that +18's temps in mid April are universally awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just shows how artifically altered that station is. Well, that's just a simple wind shift off the river. Unless you are suggesting that all river and coastal observations are "artificially altered." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Looks like CWG today has halted their crusade that this weather is so awesome....I have to imagine some of the reason is the push back they have gotten the last couple days....

blazeKing Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Not sure why they'd reverse and say this weather isn't good. Venturing a guess but i'd say most people prefer it being a little hot than 40-50 and cloudy. Last winter sucked and I'm glad it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 They likely reversed because 90+ in early April is unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazeKing Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 They likely reversed because 90+ in early April is unpleasant. I get the point that 70s are preferable right now but I guess its a personal thing that I think a few hours of 90 degrees is better than cloudy and 50. I wouldn't call this bad weather after 6 months of crap winter. It's 70s and shady in the morning and evening so if you can't tolerate the heat in the middle of the day at least you have those times instead of no times when its cold.
