Umm...so how do you then explain all of the other 40s showing up that are many miles from the river?
Look, I don't want to fight. But what you just stated...well, your implication is way off on this one.
When I saw the map that you posted and referenced the MA thread...one name came to mind. And for that kind of weather, I suppose we can will it into fruition...
First off, it's Chickies...if you're going to come snoop, at least get your snooping down right.
Second, if you saw a sign out front that said "No Soliciting Please...We're Inside Enjoying a Nooner" - well...
That was my neighbor's house.
Only snow here is piles - I'm surprised how dense the fog is. It is localized around Maytown/Marietta - once I got south of there, it became "ordinary" fog.
41 and very dense fog at home when I left for work 30 minutes ago. If it was dense earlier this morning, it's dense-er now. So far, an even .30" of rain has fallen.
He also said that the chances of a significant snow has diminished. He did not cancel snow altogether in any shape or form.
Sometimes people read what they want to read, and honestly...vice versa.
He might have been thinking this before today. I doubt he went into the weather center and suddenly thought "ah hell, I'm changing my mind today" - I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and guess this has been coming for some time.
Of course not...even the very best get it wrong from time to time.
That said, I'm certainly a lot more concerned than I was 24 hours ago. He's as good as he is for a reason.
Sort of...but not really in the sense that it or "he" could fail - if you read his winter outlook, he clearly states that there was a boom/bust potential this winter. While Ninos are often snowy, some of our really crappy winters have come during Ninos.
He crushed December and January - time will tell what happens next.
