Some of the others on television give the impression that anything other than 80 and sunny is disdainful. Huge fan of Mr. G on pix. It's a G thing!!

Irv Gikofsky (AKA Mr G) claim to fame was when he predicted way in advance the first measureable snow for NYC for December 1980. Both he and the legendary Alan Kasper both worked for WCBS TV2 but when G got it right, he became top banana pushing Alan to the background.

jr461 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The other great one that no one has mentioned is Craig Allen. Unfortunately he's only on TV on the weekend on PIX but every day on WCBS radio 880. He, Goldberg, Smith and Gregory are the only ones I pay attention to.

It actually looks less impressive now NW of the city. The new NWS update is >1”. This may be nothing more than flurries and maybe a dusting if you’re lucky up here....

Was that Christmas 1980 same day that NYC went below zero (-1) for the first time on Christmas? Bob Harris was also great back in the day, he was the only one who predicted the 36 hr Feb 1991 snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing showed anything more than mood flakes north of the Tap... this should be a nice quick hitter for south/central jersey and the coastline, with over-performing potential south shore/E long island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys are the only 4 NYC TV regulars that are good. I love Joe Cioffi too but he only fills in on channel 11 every once in awhile. I don't know how people are praising Mr. G. He's not a meteorolgist and is awful. I've caught so many huge mistakes from him through the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euripides Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Yes we really do have some good weather folks for the area on TV and radio.

jm1220 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Radar starting to light up over N MD, should ramp up quickly with the lift moving over the area and to the east. This won’t be a long lasting event given the system’s quick lurch east, but hopefully we get a good moderate burst for a few hours which can drop up to 3” where lucky. Given the lift in the DGZ, ratios should be more like 15-1, and obviously we’re more than cold enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More when we have big events (like all the hurricanes this year). Answers questions from people watching the stream. He is often joined by Joe Rao on the FB stream.

Stormlover74 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I still don't quite understand the logic of issuing a WWA for 3" of snow. Like why is that the threshold? 1-2" of snow on pavement can cause lots of problems just as freezing drizzle can yet no advisory would be issued. We've seen this time and time again, yet on a Saturday afternoon in March with temps of 33 they'll issue one for 3-5" of slushy accumulations on grass because it meets the 3" threshold. To me it should be about the conditions of the roads since that's the impact most are concerned about (besides schools and public transportation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
