powderfreak Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 There is nothing private about that social media account. He knew what he was doing by posting the most juiced solution. The irresponsibility arises from the fact that the public gets the wrong message. JB and WeatherBell have plenty of ties to national media, and posting a snowfall map on Twitter goes farther than just a "private" or "personal" account. Yes, he certainly didn't make it obvious that he thought it was over-done that's for sure. You can find him putting those maps up on like Fox News and that sort of stuff, which I do think creates a false sense of expectations. Anyway moot point. People seem to love him or hate him.

Cold Miser Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 As I expected yesterday I ended up with nada from this system. A very few wet snowflakes mixed with rain coming home at about midnight but that was about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it bothers some mets because the narrative of the "storms" can get carried away. I mean I briefed an entire state on that "snowfall" from last night. It's December, it will snow the occasional inch. But people start hearing 4-6" and get nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 i wasn't feeling this one. only thing that gave me pause was that area that you mentioned there...N orh county into the N berks...even there i shouldn't have fallen for it. lol I had about three posts worth of interest in both this and Monday over the last few days and one of those was banter. With that ocean miss I watched even the euro bounce around in the short to mid range. Had little confidence in the colder wetter solution but was pulling for everyone. I hope this pattern changed. After a month I am all set with it. There's just no real opportunity for snow up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 That would be fine if it read "00z NAM has 850 temps of +1C for NE CT at 6z" but it specifically pointed toward the location of a single poster and took joy in that it would be the posters dismay. I'm not going to dwell on it and I know you guys have an "internal" thing going on but I know that are other "outside" posters like myself that find it annoying sometimes. Eh... The point of the post was wow the nam is ugly with the mid level warmth. Picking out a specific location to prove the point seems reasonable. The hype monster loves the attention lol.

The hype monster loves the attention lol. he brings it upon himself anyway. if he didn't constantly troll us with tweets from other people or say stuff like "so then you disagree with BOX and Will" and crap like that..we wouldn't go through any of this. it's *impossible* for him to go a day without posting something that's aimed at one of us.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It just seems that lately 70% of the posts on all storm threads are either from Kev or refuting Kev.

wxmanmitch Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 1.0" of snow here. It looks like 1.5" in Worthington (just west of West Chesterfield), and 1.5" in Goshen per the BOX PNS, so it looks like the normally favored spots didn't do that well either. This one definitely goes down as a bust. Warm air layer aloft and fast progressive flow FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
