40/70 Benchmark

I used to follow them closely, but really not impressed....they have a low-key cold bias IMHO.

An inch or two of snowfall is basically noise...

Typo..yea.

Yea, I know it happens, but its still eyebrow raising for me....even in winter it can happen. I was floored in Dec 2003 when I had like 11", and I drove like 5 miles southeast and there was over 2'...was nuts and infuriating. I also remember a hell of a hail storm driviing through Reading, MA when I was a kid, and then we got home in Wilmington, just over the line, and hardly a trace.

Agreed...but I did think it was cool for my gage to have nothing in it when you had a downpour...even during the summer, our weather is usally pretty similar.

I bet the segment of the population that takes the time to actually sit in front of the televison and consider folks like, @CT Rain appointment viewing is probably at least a bit more engaged and more mindful/knowledgeable hobbyists than the one that largely follows these social media goons. This is why there is probably a higher standard for accuracy for OCMs.

I doubt 90% of his following is engaged or meticulous enough to note that 5" verified instead of his forecast for 9"....or that one week from tomorrow ended up 83 instead of the advertised 71....so its self perpetuating ignorance that fuels that following, is my guess. That's the social media monster continuing to feed itself.

Its a weather forum?? The reason I found it interesting is probably synonymous with the reason that we frequent this forum. Jesus, you are like a conflict seeking missle.

Dude, I believe you....just saying its honestly interesting. Not too uncommon during the summer, though.

Its a sensationalized way of saying a pool of cooler air, that is if he in fact realizes that the PV isn't a thing in mid July, which is doubtful...so not sure.

Unfortunately, it emblematic of the collective decay of the cognition of society given the advent of social media....it is what it is, which isn't pretty.

I love how Moregarbage has the identity verification check on X....that shows you he really is clueless and possesses zero insight. I'd want my identity verified about as much as I'd like my balls dropped in sulfuric acid if I were publishing that nonsense....like "Yup...its really me, guys".....eff me-

Instant thumb-swipe.

My guess is that they aren't actual awful meteorologists, but have simply profitized forecasting on the internet...like Bastradi. I think with Moregarbage its an unfortunate combination of an attempt at profitization and incompetence.

I started watching them for a bit last fall and quickly realized what I was dealing with and checked out.
