Haven’t watched The Weather Channel in years. It’s a joke. 

Absolutely horrendous channel. Accu Weather and Fox Weather are slightly better (they’re still bad) because they’ll usually just keep broadcasting forecasts, even if they’re repetitive.

I also like seeing some TWC alumni on either of those channels. I think NBC has a weather channel years ago, as well.

In other news gramps, it’s been thirty years now since Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was released. 🫠

Thanks for reminding me that I don't miss them.

It amazes me too.  Their whole brand is weather, yet when the most interesting and impactful weather is happening, in prime time no less, they air something else.  And not something else that's bound to draw a lot of eyeballs mind you, but "highway through hell."   It's like ESPN being one of three networks with rights to air the NFL playoffs and deciding that precisely when those games are live that they'll air re-runs of their 30 for 30 documentaries instead.

They've done some major cost cutting.

Actually so has ESPN, but ESPN was smart enough not to skimp on live coverage.

Can anyone show me a past HECS where the scenario wasn’t complicated?

I posted this Saturday night and it was taken down. But when does a massive east coast snow storm come together without ease?

You posted in this thread on Saturday unless there is another post you are referring to that was taken down.

Play by play has never been worse on some boards. Every run “looks better” and yet the outcome is worse. People should just wait until the run is over. What’s the point in speculating and being wrong every time?

Watch. The euro will look so much better initially and in the end look the same as 06z.  People see what they want to see unfortunately

I wish we could get lake effect snow here off of West Hempstead Lake lol.

What's the smallest lake that lake effect snow has been known to occur near?

Well Liberty on a day like today a large aged water main break might do it here. As always…

When the wind direction is just right from the ENE it’s happened off the Sound. In some coastal storms there’s a sound enhancement effect due to the NE winds enhancing lift via frictional convergence over LI and lingering the snow. Growing up in Long Beach as a kid I thought the Reynolds Channel could help but all it helped with was changing us to rain sooner. :(
