real Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 On 2/18/2021 at 11:07 AM, real said: I don't really think its a bust -- ... But just more evidence that meteorologists who communicate with the public probably should revert back to how it was in the 80s and 90s -- when weather professionals would rarely talk about possible accumulations until the day before the storm hits,. Putting out public snow maps two or three days ahead of time, seems to just set up unrealistic expectations and can cause more confusion than it helps. Expand Something similar happened in the Monday storm in the Pittsburgh - Buffalo corridor. Initial forecasts were for 6 to 12 inches of snow in many of those places, with snow maps issued days ahead of time. But then the sleet pushed in way, way faster and farther North. You could see it coming on the models the day ahead of time, but most of the public never got the message. And the The public was not happy,.

CAPE Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 It sure would be nice if the precip were a bit heavier now while the column is still good. Just stuck my head out the door and it's all snow, but mostly light to at times moderate. Temp is 26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No, but the much-ridiculed NAM once again lead the way on this. What a winter it has had. You can take the GFS, HRRR, and Euro and throw them in the trash can. I'm sitting at 25 with a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Seems to go to all sleet in heavier bands. This is probably the most frustrating winter I can remember. At least some previous winters, you just closed the blinds and took the loss and took your lumps because you were coming off a run of really good winters. The amount of time I've spent tracking essentially nothing this winter makes me understand why Bob Chill stepped away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
