you guys quit crying last night really bashing me doesn't do anything, i've been around for 4 years, maybe i made some bad forecasts and some great ones

also back to the snow, all the schools are pretty much closed

i got 3 inches last night, and got here another 3 or maybe 4 inches overnight into today, with more coming

looks like my original 6-10 inch totals are dead on :thumbsup:

I'll give you props for sticking with your prediction, way to hang in there.

Now, we do know you were weenied out back on eastern, so your reputation does proceed you, and for the most part thats fine, you've always been pretty respectful.

As long as you come correct, and don't have multiple accounts. you'll be fine here.

I still need my official snowfall reports.

Word of advice here to keep your stay here past today. Be of good cheer, it's weather and we love to rib each other, as we did over at Eastern. If your going to be caustic, go back to another thread. We had a certain poster who took every opportunity to vent his own personal frustration, it deteriorated into flaming and arguing with everyone. Punchline he was banned. So lighten up Francis.

Mod.. I'll take a warning on this one, this guy deserved it.

People were bashing you last night because you came on here and said that KDKA was calling for another 3 to 6 inches when that was the total for the event that they were calling for. Maybe you misunderstood them. That's fine, we all make mistakes. But, at the time, it sounded like you were making something up because you pretty much predict 6 to 10 inches or more for just about every potential event it seems. Not trying to start anything with you, just making a point.

It's all good guys...he made a prediction and it worked out.

I don't know about that. A 6-10 " forecast implies 8" as a common midpoint, frequent 6" reports, and some maxes that are close to 10" There is not even one report greater than 6" this morning.

This was a nice 4" to 6" snowfall. Today's activity is hit and miss. I can't see it adding more than an inch or so the totals below. Someone might catch a band and max out at 7" or so, but that's it. It was a well forecasted, advisory event.

Storm for mid week next week really took a turn for the worse... looks like it might be to warm, then gets really cold then the thaw. I hope next weeks storm doesn't end up being rain. Pretty far out yet so lets hope for positive adjustments.

12Z Euro tries to keep it just cold enough for PA compared to 12z GFS which suggests rain... Will be interesting to keep an eye on and if not just for PA, but also Mass. and Connecticut if they end up with freezing rain/rain after the heavy snow today...

As for LES... I use this site to follow conditions on the lakes... http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/

Here you can monitor surface temperatures and other conditions.

Good to hear about the Euro, I also read in one of the regional threads past 192 hours its is completely different than its 00z run so who knows how things will play out at this point. Having something to track is never a bad thing. The weekend clipper still looks good for maybe 1-2 inches over a 24 hour period too per GFS.

Thanks for that link, can't believe how Warm Lake Huron is still, most of it still close to 40 degrees.

Ok, he got 1 prediction right out of 1000 he has given over here and on Eastern, lets not gloat.

He had the nerve to PM Me and tell me has been right a week out on the snow storms.

OK, dude quit being a sore losser, well i only made a few predictions on eastern,

and last years big snowstorm i got it right about 4 days out, and Karl Racki or whoever you, back off

and i sticked with 6-10 inch snowfall because it was resonable, and also i give my credit to skills after learning from much better METs on these forums

and also about our next storm, it will likely be a slop storm

Above are the ACTUAL observations - which do not suggest the impact of 6-10" storm. It did not snow 8 and 10" just because you said it did. If that was the NWS forecast, we would be calling it a bust high. I really don't have any problem with you being this super-weenie --> however, on behave of the forum, don't do the following: 1) Lie about observations 2) If you do hit a forecast that goes against popular opinion, don't say it's because of some in depth knowledge.
