follow him on Twitter he pontificates on all kinds of Pgh. sports & I am thinking shouldn't you be looking at the New Models ??

Oh geez, so weathermen should only talk weather?

I know Jeff Z isn't a great meteorologist, but Henry maybe just as bad and he is loved here by most cause he is a weenie.

Neighbor text me we got 9" with this and last storm we have to pushing close to 100 so far.

Nah, not me. I've expressed disgust being on the fringe so many times, but never threw in the towel. Maybe you have me confused with rdd9108, I think he was pretty frustrated at one point only to get sucked back in. ;)

I have no idea what you are talking :P. I think I have given up two times, still holding out hope for a march surprise. The way I see it is if its gonna be cold let it snow.

I try not to bash the NWS too much (our local yokels are a different story); however, I clearly think the <1" is too low for today's system. Snowing pretty good at the moment, nice-sized flakes. I'm expecting about 2" today, with a few higher amounts possible. We'll see.

Yeah, looks like the system has juiced up a bit over eastern ohio.

Also looking less ragged than earlier.

If Monday night stays all snow. What will be fair amount. 3-6. 2-4. ??? Opinions ????

I'd go 2-4 right now. Ratios are pretty low but we look to get around .3 -.4. Obviously qpf and temps can change so if things trend wetter and colder then 3-6 might be possible, on the other hand drier and warmer would yield more like 1-3.

Just shoveled 4.3" here!......another Jeff v bust!

 

 

1-2 haha what he does is take the 12z GFS & makes a map & after the 4,5, & 6 O Clock News he doesn't update it at all, He is on twitter tweeting about Pens Game, Pitt Game, Pirate Game he is a Clown

 

 

I'm not a huge JV fan - 2010 has been well documented again and again.

 

But it's getting a little nuts to call out situations like this. The calls that I saw were generally 1-2' or 1-3" and most graphics showed heavier snow (2-4" or 3-5") to the south. And we knew that it would be heavier south.

 

So the official reporting station for the city where these calls were given gets 1.3", and this is what we are calling out as a bust? Really? Again - there are times where we have l been frustrated because the local forecasts don't fit in to our weenism as a big storm approaches. And it pissed us off. I get it. Been there many times. But if we start calling our forecasts as "bad" when most of the area truly got "1-3", then this thread will be increasingly overrun with kids and underrun with mets.

 

Now, I too managed to squeak out between 3" and 4". So thats a good thing. But let's save bust talk for real busts, and not when you happen to get an inch more because you were in a favorable spot. Lets pretend we know about tight gradients like weather people instead of sounding like the general public.
