I don't know their schedule but school buses here run in the am dark this time of year. Better visibility is a good thing on possibly questionable roads.

BullCityWx Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There are some days where I feel like too much information is readily available these days. You have people complaining about day 10 threats but that is the name of the game now. I can remember vividly when the euro only went out around 144 hours and the GFS was out to 240. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YetAnotherRDUGuy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yea, but just how accurate is the CMC at day 18??? I feel like it tends to dig too much at that range and we lose the storm around day 16. But that's just me. On the other hand, if it shows a storm at day 15, you might as well start the thread now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wounder what this spring will be like. Yes; Brick and others have been mentioning over the past few years that the once certain seasons for severe, especially autumn, have changed in that regard. I feel like it is at least a guaranteed interesting spring in terms of unusual weather systems, although I'm not sure if any would be severe, maybe just different enough to be noteworthy! 1 hour ago, CaryWx said: Yep, believe winter's over for most of us on this forum unless the models are waaay wrong. I do think that there is at least a chance of a few to several colder wedge days during March and April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 28 minutes ago, jburns said: Personal. You say potato, ... I was just quoting what the station said: “We have a difficult announcement to share with you tonight, involving a longtime member of our WRAL family. We need to let you know that chief meteorologist Greg Fishel is no longer with the company due to a personnel matter. Greg has asked that we share a written statement with you and you can find that in its entirety on wral.com.” So, who knows what the true story is and even what the difference really is between personnel and personal matter?

Well, the wording of his statement "I take full responsibility for my actions ..." kind of suggests to me that he did something bad to someone else.

Perhaps his FB post from 2017 is telling of some of the personal struggles he's been going through: "Fishel has been open in Facebook posts about various struggles. In 2017, he wrote about how playing golf with his son (Fishel and his wife Kathy have two sons) turned too competitive and that a hobby he started for enjoyment was causing him to come home angry, so he was quitting the game. Fishel wrote: “I simply cannot do this anymore. Maybe more time with the tuba, or develop some new hobby I’m not even aware of as I write this. I am very aware of the fact that a lot of people suffer when I’m down in the dumps, like everyone around me! I owe it to them as well as myself to find something that brings me fulfillment as opposed to frustration, and happiness instead of sadness.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had a 2 months medical leave early in 2018, he also mentions "personal challenges" which many times means some kind of substance or alcohol issues maybe....either way its his business and he will be missed.

I would love to see Matthew East at WRAL. As far as Fishel resigning, it really is bizarre. He was gone for about a month this same time last year, and they said it was a medical leave. This sounds really bad, and whatever is going on interfered with his job. I wonder if it is alcohol or drug related. Whatever it is, I hope he gets the help he needs and gets better. This is just a tremendous loss for WRAL and weather geeks in the Triangle area. I grew up watching Fishel, and he was a big reason why I became so interested in the weather.
