I would be apt to say these numbers are inflated due to inherit issues within the modeling dynamics. For one, the icing is (from my understanding) interpolated over time period and does not capture what happens during intermediate time steps. Not to mention, the upper air temperatures aloft have been in question as to how much warm air will be overrunning. Because the thermal soundings are in question, the ice accumulation rate forecasts will be questionable at best. I would expect these numbers to fall as modeling time intervals become more refined.

They certainly knew there was less than a 1 percent chance of parts of the area receiving 3+ feet. I do know a few mets there....but I'll admit TWC is a bit of a different animal than a local weather forecaster. I could totally see corporate there putting up more extreme graphics. But pretty much every TV met I know has almost total autonomy on their own forecast graphics. Maybe there are some bad stations that force them to put bad graphics out, but I personally don't know any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
