We need a Weather Channel similar to the original Weather Channel format - also would be great if they covered the major models when they finish their runs similar to what we do here on this forum when there are major events on the way . Its going to be interesting if they let the individual METS at accuweather give their own opinnions or forecasts on that channel since they sometimes are different then the official accuweather forecasts - Henry and Bernie are famous for doing that........

Stormlover74 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bye 'Weather Channel', you're as relevant as music videos on MTV DirecTV dumps Weather Channel, replaces with 'cheap startup' The contract stand-off between DirecTV and The Weather Channel has turned into a Category 5 fail-storm. The satellite provider has dropped the largely weather-centric cable channel from its subscription service. The Weather Channel portrayed the decision as potentially hazardous for DirecTV subscribers in a statement: “This is unprecedented for The Weather Channel. In our 32 years, we have never had a significant disruption due to a failure to reach a carriage agreement. We offered DirecTV the best rate for our programming, and I am shocked they have put corporate profits ahead of keeping a trusted channel that subscribers rely on every day…This reckless move by DirecTV will have an impact on our role as part of the national safety and preparedness fabric of our country at a time when the volatility and frequency of weather events seems to be increasing. The Weather Channel partners with humanitarian and emergency management agencies at the local, state and federal levels. We help people prepare before storms, stay safe during their effects, and find help afterward. If the network is not available to viewers, the effectiveness of these partnerships, which help make us a more weather ready nation, are jeopardized.” DirecTV has replaced Weather Channel with another channel dubbed WeatherNation, which Weather Channel dismissed as “a cheap startup that does weather forecasting on a three-hour taped loop, has no field coverage, no weather experts — certainly not any on par with The Weather Channel network’s industry-recognized experts like tornado expert Dr. Greg Forbes and winter weather expert Tom Niziol.” DirecTV told CNN.com that viewers have plenty of other options for weather information nowadays. “When information is readily available everywhere, it’s no longer necessary for people to have to pay a premium.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local stations, particularly channel 7 do talk about the models now but I don't know if people really understand them.

And I think we Snow Sat For Saturday the 09z SREF's came in a bit wetter with the 0.10"+ contour now back into central PA. The 12z NAM however wants nothing to do with it, keeping all the moisture 200 miles plus offshore. Looking at the 4k NAM it seems that snow/rain showers will be possible Thursday and Friday.

Case in point was 'Sandy' when Euro showed an 1821 type event and the GFS lagged behind 12 hours in confirming it! 1821 hit near Wilmington, NC and hugged the coast. There hasn't been an event like Sandy in recorded history, where a hurricane merged with a large trough and moved NW around a Greenland block into NJ. The 1991 Perfect Storm may be the closest representation, but Sandy was much stronger than that was. The 1938 storm may have begun transitioning into a Perfect Storm-like system though as it was impacting the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
