I was joining what I thought was a casual conversation and was sharing my observations and experience as a weather fan. I didn't know diddly about you, your interactions, or the snow ruler you obviously have jammed up your butt. Perhaps join the debate team at your school and if they don't have one, start one so you can beat s with one another. This is single-handedly the funniest thing I have ever read on this entire forum. Bravo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVwxHistorian Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 hour ago, DeltaT13 said: The whole premise of this thread is ridiculous. So what, a snowfall forecast was missed for a couple cities on the east coast during a Nor’easter. Missing the position of the coastal front by a couple miles can happen, which sometimes unfortunately affects millions of people. But there were also thousands of accurate forecasts for that event, probably close to 80-90 percent verified. So why bother pointing out the the few that failed, especially in a snowstorm where a missed snowfall amount rarely results in any significant loss of life. The fact that you can’t figure this out right now, as a supposed Met student working towards a masters and after ruminating on it for 26; years tells me you don’t have the common sense or intelligence to succeed in this field. Stick to the drive through window….you obnoxious troll. The topic is ridiculous?? What's ridiculous is the forecast!!! And in all the attacks and name calling, I still haven't gotten an answer to my question: why did this guy stick his foot so far in his mouth?!! Sure you guys can really nail those high temperature forecasts but when it comes to something important, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you guys can really nail those high temperature forecasts but when it comes to something important, Again, you can’t figure this out yourself and you’re studying to be a meteorologist? As a meteorologist, you don’t get to tell the public hey I really don’t have a lot of confidence in my forecast. You have to make a tough call and then stick to it. That’s why it’s a hard profession. I can just see you in a few years standing up there and telling the public “I really don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow”, I’m sure you’ll be employed for a long time.

I'm just trying to engender a spirited debate, there's no need for personal attacks, obviously none of you were debaters in high school! And I haven't called anyone a name. I've already explained why I posted this: to understand why someone would make such a confident forecast with such a powerful storm so close, since I plan to be in that position one day. Gosh, what sensitive weenies you all are!! PS If you got a problem, report my posts -- I did yours!

Itstrainingtime Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It's a shame that this region has been overtaken by this wacko. Not a lot of activity here anymore but almost everyone in here is worth reading. I hope someone gets rid of the troll before he chases off the good ones. @LVwxHistorian do everyone a favor including yourself and see your way out. Now.
