Nothing all that impressive in Denver. Slight dimming....expected much more. Solar glasses worked outstanding.

I will be out in Denver. Checked the local news and looks to be at 93% or so. Apparently best location is up near Wyoming I read via local news. Not sure what to expect....reported to be about 2 minutes of something

Seems as if he having another epic failure this year in long range forecasting. JB only seems do well when you know a storm is coming. His best days in forecasting are long gone. Sorta of now just that "guy" in TV weather that the news outlets put on TV when they need a name.

What the heck or how do you prepare for a 5 inch storm. What I see is that most people in the field struggle with forecasting snow. People enjoy talking about a good old bustorama too. Not enough snow or too much snow caused a busted forecast. snow is a visual and rain is not. Never really hear people complain about not enough or too little rain in a storm.

He is terrible. DT is just as bad the past 2 years

Sorta like the CPA exam. You need to pass this exam with your degree to work or be on tv a meterolgist. Take the exam every 5 years. You may be onto something.

That made be laugh.

I disagree. I enjoy some nice eye candy on tv. Ratings baby. Just need a script and a degree from that school down in Mississippi.

No problem. Is it something that I said?

Anyone can be a meterologist these days. No real science in the profession. Really don't think we need people these days in the business. A few people to run a computer program and send out the forecast. Computer voices or a cartoon animated person on your tv screen I bet if you ran the average all the top rated weather models, your forecast would have been decent for this storm 12-24 hours out. Only reason this storm busted, was human emotion got involved. DT is the classic example.

3 inches in my backyard.

It typically is that way.

He may look like an idiot again. If he has another bust, he should retire.

agree. true test of private vs. public. only one losing is me I assume. I want snow, most people don't.

Okay. So DT is wrong. Assumption is he does not want to fail or look foolish with his forecast. Let the challenge begin. Sad that I can't track the 850 level for snow in the middle of january. Hopefully I get an inch. Precip looks decent on the models with the 850 line past my area. Going with the storm will generate it's cold air in my area.

That what the NAM/GFS show. Assumption is that Mt Holly figures the storm is done at that point or something.

I have a few news stories on the event I will dig up and post from PHL news papers.. I have the daily news cover with them asking the quesions what met busted and hyped the most. They provided a phone number for each met with a photo next to the number. Title was SnowJob with a radar shot on the cover Monday or Tuesday morning. Bolaris won by a huge margin. For being a weather man, Bolaris thought he was a rock star before the storm. Huge ego as some wather folks have for some unknown reason. He left town the following winter as he could not take the heat for a busted call, one of the worst possibly ever for TV weather people Bolaris was going 24-36 inches for PHL area and was informing to cancel schools and no business will be open Monday or Tuesday on the 11:11:30 PM news that night. NBC 10 had a scroll on the tv for hours infomring the storm of the century was coming etc. Very unprofessional many people felt. I heard they caused a few accidents and possibly death as they scared people into thinking this was the storm to end all storms. Roads were jammed with people going to the stores in mass numbers etc. we got like 2 inches at my home in Blue Bell, PA. Total disaster.

You are beating a dead horse as a figure of speech. You made your view point known in your first post. The positives and negatives have been discussed and are typically know unless you live under a bridge in this industry.
