snowfan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Great update from LWX an hour ago https://twitter.com/nws_baltwash/status/438296627405918208 I'm sorry to offend anyone, but they are the worst. It's really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Mike Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Definitely goes in the over performer category IMBY. Sneak attacks are best. Hasn't this been the winter of overperfomers? Not all, but many events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris87 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm sorry to offend anyone, but they are the worst. It's really bad. CWG from an hour ago: "Some "conversational" or "mood" snow has developed inside Beltway. Shouldn't stick much." this might beat LWX's twitter update from either 4:57 or 2 hours ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hasn't this been the winter of overperfomers? Not all, but many events. I guess.. that's what people say at least. Definitely fewer busts than recent winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Up to a half inch in ne rockville and snowing nicely. Think I might pull off the clean inch I've been chasing. High res nam looks pretty good tomorrow too for 1-2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 No of CWG from an hour ago: "Some "conversational" or "mood" snow has developed inside Beltway. Shouldn't stick much." this might beat LWX's twitter update from either 4:57 or 2 hours ago no offense to Matt Rogers who is a talented met, but all he really cares about is if it is 75 and sunny...this happened to CWG late in the season last year....they stopped caring much, because they wanted it to be 20 degrees above normal everyday I am guessing LWX is the same...just indifference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hate to continue the LWX ribbing, but even ignoring the fact that it appears they ignored short range guidance last night, they actually downgraded as things became even more obvious this morning. My zone fcst from 3:30 had 40% POPS. Then at 6:30, as radar clearly showed the entire area would see a few hours of light snow, they downgraded to "scattered flurries this morning." Now, at 9:30, when places are reporting accumulation and we could conceivably hit an inch, they updated to "snow likely...little or no accumulation." Forgetting this event and going back to Sunday nights clearly all rain event, my zone fcst read "snow accumulation around an inch likely." ...WTF? I mean, this is basic nowcasting stuff...pull up a radar, or simpler yet, look out the window. Really odd stuff from LWX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As much as we decry DT, he put as much effort into 3/25 last year and he does for a KU...CWG threw in the towel and were openly disdainful that it wasn't 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to cut them some slack. they had snow in the forecast. Being able to pinpoint exactly who would see a bit more is always a roll of the dice.

Deck Pic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 yeah little surprise events are fun for picking on anyone -- i've given up being disappointed with LWX it's just expected at this point it's not even that big of a surprise...models started to hone in 36 hours ago and all showed measurable in the 0.05" range..not sure why "flurries". It was clear we would get at least some steady light snow...and the short range guidance confirmed that last night...that we would see a few hours of snow....in the end, snow really isnt a big deal, so I kind of like that they arent making a big deal out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 i've given up being disappointed with LWX it's just expected at this pointThe thing is...it's not even ignoring models or something. It's ignoring radar/your eyes. "Sctd flurries" at 6:30 when radar was lighting up?Maybe the shades are down on the windows at LWX or something because the update 15 minutes ago is even more head-scratching. Again, I have all the respect in the world for NWS mets, and I consider them the best of the best. But this is some incompetent nowcasting, for sure.
