JTA66 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 ^This. Ever since they went to the new format back in the spring, their wx segments have become unwatchable. Two minutes of reviewing temps across the region ... zzzzz! Hopefully it's because not much has happened since the blizzard last year, and if we do get a legit storm threat, they'll get back into the swing of things. Not sure if this is Glenn's idea or some new producer at the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's a mess these days. It's difficult to watch. Spends 90% of time discussing the temps in every location then wings through the 10 day forecast like the studio is on fire. The whole layout/presentation is pretty bad. Not sure if it was his idea or the network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quakertown needs snow Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 ^ I totally agree with you guys. Why too much time wasted on temps in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenmsav6810 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 DT's first call gives us a total screw job. Don't think this storm is going to do exactly that. Putting my money on Mt. Holly and Glenn on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to his map posted above, that is for the Friday night and Saturday event not the one later Thursday night and early Friday morning. Not sure if there was confusion on that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess im not being fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 DTs final call map was completely and utterly wrong in this area. Pretty sure any of us could of done better. He's horrible forecasting for this area. He should stick to South Virginia and forecasting their annual 2 inch storms with the rare 6 inches every 10 years because every time he forecasts here he busts horribly.

ChescoWx Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know JB will never get much credit from most here (he is after all....likely next to DT the most controversial & unpopular professional MET we have) ...but he never wavered (see my Ghost of '67 post) and kept pounding the 3" to 6" in this area that many did not see just a few days ago. That said....we all know his biases (too snowy too cold and of course - way too fast!) and he is just another professional voice in the crowd. But in a tip of the cap to the old days (for those that remember - kudos to JB - that still makes me laugh how often that was posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockem_sockem_connection Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Glenn put up a map with me in the 2-4" zone of actual totals tooting his own horn, but we got closer to 6" and 30 miles North where my GF lives also got 7" but was in the 2-4/3-5 spot. Classic guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
