SnowDeac Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yep. Completely agree. Typically, the more I watch/follow a certain TV met, the less I end up liking them. We'll just say that has happened with two of the more prominent mets in Raleigh and now Charlotte over the years. East is the man, though. He needs to be bumped up to the big leagues so us non-Spectrum customers can tune in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, we have Denton up here. He’s like the friendly neighbor who grills and just so happens to have a met degree and loves snow. I really enjoy watching him. There are others, however, that just leave me thinking, “How in the heck did you get your job?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, and don’t think I’ve seen any other tv met do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here hate on ice storms but I haven’t seen one in twenty years so it’s definitely a unique and rare event. Feels like it might be another 20 years at this rate...

I'm just a casual observer, but don't ever remember things being this off. Are the atmospheric dynamics more complicated in certain regions than they've ever been or is it seriously faulty data?

Some mets have mentioned that there is less atmospheric sampling and data going into the models due to fewer airline flights over the past year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
