Thunder Road Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Haha I forgot I even "started" this thread. Yeah I guess I'll put Bolaris on next, then 6abc at 5:50. I get pounded by questions, so I need to know what the public is being fed so I know how to react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get pounded by questions, so I need to know what the public is being fed so I know how to react. 6abc has the heaviest amounts -- about 6-10" -- centered on the I-95 corridor... from about DE to NYC. Then lesser amounts on each side of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sferic Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Lee Goldbery on WABC TV7 said warmer temperatures ahead of a rainstorm by next Tueday, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Lee Goldberg on channel 7 is calling for 3-6" for NYC metro, most of central and northern New Jersey and Long Island with 6-9" for most of Connecticut. I think he is way too low with those amounts considering the latest 12z and 18z model runs. Moreover, he is predicting a rainstorm next week with temperatures near 50* F.

Prairie Dog Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Glenn is top notch.. And one of the few mets to actually say he got a forecast wrong, and admit to it. Only one worth watching at WPVI is Adam Joseph, he will strays lots of times from the spoon feeding of Accu Weather, and go out on his own. On the other hand, David Murphy was on WPVI Sunday, pretty much guaranteeing a rainstorm for the area. He is the worst, and his on air persona is that of a funeral director.

Hailstorm Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Elise Finch is actually being the most bullish out of the local TV meteorologists for NYC; she is usually the most conservative out of the bunch. She is calling for 6-10" for Southern Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island; while Lee Goldberg and Nick Gregory predicts 3-6" and 4-7" for the same area, respectively.

greg ralls Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Glenn is the only tv forecaster I can trust, let alone watch. Even if you don't agree with him, you can't dispute his knowledge and experience, and can't claim he is just hugging models. The fact that he not only reads this site but posts here as well is telling. He's a really nice guy, too. I ran into him at the Costco in King of Prussia last spring during a Tornado Watch, and we were both looking at radar on our phones and thinking that it was about time to cancel the watch. He also helped me out via email many years ago when I was considering a meteorology degree (I'm now an accountant and I'm working on becoming an actuary). He definitely knows the calculus & physics behind meteorology, which is more than one can say about many on-camera weather folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx4cast Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 One of my "old" favorites from the late 1960's to middle 1970's was the famous Gordon Barnes on WCBSAM and also wcbs tv2 for a bit..Anyone remember Gordon? Remember he used a flashlight for his map pointer? <br /><br /><br /> Bill Korbell When I was in college I interned with him for a while. Great guy, very classy and taught me a lot about adlibing and presentation Wow, I remember him, he was the night guy on News 12 LI before Bill Korbel came in 1997 from over at News 12 CT....I never understood why Tirado left so suddenly. News 12 LI was a bit unstable for awhile before Rich Hoffman and Korbel settled into those slots...they had Bonnie Schneider for awhile and a few other ones including Bruce Avery and Rich Von Ohlen...and Joe Rao too, that guy had a seriously mean hairdo. A few others which were on in NY for quite some time are Ira Joe Fisher who was at NBC and CBS, Linda Church who seems to have been everywhere, and Joe Witte who always made me laugh for some reason though he seemed to stumble over every other word. Blasts from the past all good guys.. Always liked Joe Cioffi myself Norm Divoskin not so much Went to school with JC..funny guy...dry wit...

RowanBrandon Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 So on the six o'clock news, I saw three different forecasts for my backyard: 2-4"(CBS), 3-6"(ABC), and 4-8"(FOX).

Thunder Road Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 David Murphy has 6-12" total for the I-95 corridor. So he's basically saying less than 6" tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 David Murphy has 6-12" total for the I-95 corridor. So he's basically saying less than 6" tonight? If he's including Round 1, then it sounds like he's calling for 3" to 6" of snow for Round 2. We'll see...I think most locations in the Philly area will see at least another 5 or 6 inches with Round 2 (and maybe up to 9 or 10 inches).

Jim Marusak Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Here are the ones that are "my favs" Tom Skilling (seriously, he's the best TV met in the country, hands down. Anyone who has WGN America on cable and can watch Skilling's forecasts at 10 PM should...it's an absolute treat for wx weenies) Paul Douglas (Minneapolis met, very forward thinking on technology and wx, brought "EarthWatch" to the world) Tom Clark in Scranton Hurricane Elliot Abrams Dr. Joe Sobel Joe Lundberg (wish Joe was back on KYW locally) a lot of people on here could out-forecast tom clark with their eyes closed. not a bad guy in person, but he should have retired several years ago. and his daughter does look a lot like noreen (but forecasts much better). as for elliot and joe, they are brilliant people, especially elliot. joe lundberg, i think i bowled with him a few times as well as met him. very personable and knowledgeable. as for paul douglas, yea he's one of the big dogs out here in the 651-612. but how many remember him when he actually got his start at WNEP? i do, barely.

phlwx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've been away (and thankfully missed digging out) the last week so I didn't hear/see any of the forecasts but I didn't get to miss the sparring (towards Bolaris) and self-congratulating from Adam Joseph on his facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Adam-Joseph/118344943695 Hurricane's willingness to admit he was wrong with Wednesday AM was impressive, classy, and a breath of fresh air in this town.

Wow, that is pathetic. Just like Jim Cantore said last night that TWC called for the dump of snow that D.C. got. I think they had 1-3" for them forecasted.
