Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think he brings it upon himself when some of us try and tell him that his forecast is too bullish or extreme. Like "widespread 1-2 with 3-4" lollis"...then trying massage that into a good forecast and saying people should tell him "great job" because there were some pockets 1.5" of snow amongst a widespread C-1". Maybe we'd better off just ignoring it. Because I agree the semantical arguments start getting mind numbing. I know how hard forecasting snow is, so I'd certainly be one of the first to congrats a good forecast. What I don't have sympathy for is anyone trying to get kudos for a mediocre or poor forecast or trying to spin it into a good one. (people would often criticize JB for this after a busted extreme storm call). I'd suggest the silent majority would suggest this is the right approach. I for one would prefer to see about 40% less of the posts refuting posts obviously designed to bait pros. If you look at the number of people that seem to have a genuine misunderstanding of what some of you right...that number is very, very low. Therefore the endless responses are probably unwarranted. It would probably cut about $2500 a year off the Americanwx bandwidth budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Scott .. Please give it a rest. Thanks If you posted less and read more maybe you wouldn't have to question everything the red taggers said that 99.9% of the rest of us understood the first time. The C-1 or 2" that almost every amateur and pro forecast that caused so much commotion seems to have worked out very well. It went almost exactly as everyone figured it would go.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 KEV fire up another thread for Monday, looks good for a another interesting day.I don't know. The other day I recall Will saying the Monday clipper had more LL moisture to work with than yesterday's. But I'm not sure if that is still the case or not?

ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I don't know. The other day I recall Will saying the Monday clipper had more LL moisture to work with than yesterday's. But I'm not sure if that is still the case or not? Its tracked further and further NW. which limits moisture than earlier progs..but it does have some brief windex parameters in place. So I'd expect everyone to see some snow showers, however, I'm not expecting much accumulation east of the Berks...maybe a lucky few get an inch or so from a squall.

CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I wonder if any of that -SN from PA can make into SNE. It's going to hit a wall, but also good WAA too. Looks rather healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
