"Sleet, really? I'm tired of this", "Only light snow, I can't wait for this storm to be over." boooo freaking who I'd kill for sleet or light snow at this point.

Sorta like a person complaining all that have to eat is a hambuger while someone starving is watching them through the window salivating.So you are telling me if you had a winter storm warning for 3-6 inches of snow and ended up with sleet and no accumulations, you wouldn't be disappointed?

Amos83 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 at this point after the last couple of years... no. I would be happy with any type of wintery weather, sleet, freezing rain, or snow. I might make a comment about it being frustrating but I would post about it over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isohume Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That's embarrassing. Weakly weather briefing. NWS GSP can't spell now. Then later in the title it says the word week. How do you post a YouTube video spelling weekly like weakly? Then you are in the NWS. They probly have a degree in atmospheric sciences and calculus and the such, not English majors Sometimes, when you're busy as fuuck on the DSS desk, and you're trying to get a stupid public youtube briefing out before other deadlines and other briefings and other products and other media calls and aviation requests, you make a mistake. It really has nothing to do with knowing correct English. You guys need to seriously get a life. lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's funny when read the NWS Jacksonville discussion from this morning, then they are the ones under a severe thunderstorm warning currently ! Lol Edit: Make that two warnings now! Not sure why those storms are that strong with 60+DBZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWS A RELATIVELY NARROW BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL EXTENDING FROM NRN VA/ERN MD NEWD INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND. THE SNOWFALL IS OCCURRING WITHIN A WELL-DEFINED DEFORMATION ZONE ON THE NRN AND NWRN PERIPHERY OF A SURFACE LOW ANALYZED JUST OFF THE SERN VA COAST...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN/SHIFT NEWD WITH TIME AS A STRONG UPPER SHORT-WAVE TROUGH CONTINUES DIGGING INTO/ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/GA THIS EVENING. THIS BAND OF SNOW IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY CHANGE ORIENTATION THIS EVENING -- FROM BEING A SW-NE BAND TO MORE SSW-NNE CONFIGURATION -- AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES SLOWLY NEWD ACROSS THE WRN ATLANTIC WITH TIME. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH...THE PIVOTING BAND OF HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE MID-ATLANTIC/SRN NEW ENGLAND REGION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. WITH A COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE /TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE GENERALLY RANGING FROM THE TEENS TO LOW 20S/ SNOW-TO-LIQUID RATIOS AT OR ABOVE 15-1 WILL AID IN ENHANCEMENT OF THE ALREADY HEAVY PRECIPITATION RATES.

I'm an educator, but that it sounded more like an excuse to me. Seriously, being busy is not a reason to relax the standards of your profession. It was a mistake, period.

You gotta be kidding me. Okay professor, go back through all our youtube videos and calculate the typo ratio for me. Also, while you're at it list the duties of the DSS forecaster and how deadlines are met or attempted to be adhered to under highly active periods.

The reason you have them is for the difficult times. Mistakes, when made, should be acknowledged and attempts made to lessen them going forward. If you want to defend the misspellings it's fine with me. I did find it curious you called that defense, education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find it curious you called that defense, education. I had a hard time taking your post seriously, hence the sarcasm. No problem, I'll program the no typo thing into our youtube robot forecaster. Do you really think we didn't notice the typo and we don't care if we repeat it? I was "educating" him because obviously he doesn't know how a typo like that can happen. I can tell you one thing, that wont be the last typo for us, even with the standards we adhere to.
