Scuddz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Finally some honesty from DT: " By Friday there will be a total review of this event the forecasts.. MY forecasts.. what happened Why i Busted and where. It will be the MOST comprehensive review you will have EVER read from ANY meteorologist and will stun you with the bulls**t approach" So, couldn't resist trolling his assertation that he's the only met EVER who will publish an analysis of why he was wrong with all the CWG forecast analyses. My wife saw it pop up on her feed. Swear to god her direct quote: "who is he? Seems like a dbag who really likes to over capitalize everything..."

He mentioned that the analyses CWG does are "nice," but that he provides a "much more meteorologically oriented" reason for why he busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So Jason gives the CWG gang a B+ for the forecast for this storm, but a B/B- for the forecast for 1/3. No way those two forecasts should be graded that close. The forecast for this storm was much more accurate, so if it's a B+ (I'd be ok with an A-), then the 1/3 forecast really should have been rated a C or C-. On 1/3, 2-5" verified in the 1-3" band that also showed equal chances of Boom (>3") and Bust (only a car-topper). Also, the forecast earlier that day was for a dusting to 2" with a T to 1" in southern areas, down from the previous night's 1-2". So, 3 maps for one storm going back and forth...

gymengineer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Kinda odd IMO Spotsylvania Public Schools are closed already for tomorrow Madison/Warren being closed I can understand AA County 2-hr delay is a little early too--- is it for the cold or the possibility of refreeze on roads (which is never as widespread as talked about)?

jnis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 AA County 2-hr delay is a little early too--- is it for the cold or the possibility of refreeze on roads (which is never as widespread as talked about)? 2hr for MoCo?

gymengineer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 2hr for MoCo? Main and secondary roads are fine...saw some rough loving side streets though... Hmm....6-8" usually wouldn't result in a 2-hr delay the day after the closing. Maybe AA is being over cautious after the debacle on the freezing rain day.

KAOS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Two hour delay doesn't make much sense unless because of the cold.... Though I am not saying that cold warrants a delay. Anyway, it's not like the 2 hours is going to make much difference in the snow removal process. Additionally, temps will remain below freezing for the entire day. One last thing...

In terms of the timing of the end of snow, the closest scenario where we got the 2-hr delay two days later was the Thursday after 1/25/00. But that was 8-12" countywide.

ravensrule Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 GFS has that southern stream activity showing up again for Mon/Tue. If that Northern stream vort is pushed further south. We may be on to something. But the timing is crap tight now. Loosen your sphincter, that should help allow it to go further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
