41F with light rain continuing.

You are lucky. My 4.2 inches of fluffy snow has vanished today, with just some piles left from plowing and shoveling. It got into the low 40’s today and a lovely rain is ongoing. ☹️

Thanks. I was not expecting him to be put into a timeout, but maybe he will take that time to think about things before posting again.
-
Happy Birthday!

This thread is ridiculous! Nothing like someone pointing fingers at a Meteorologist for one quote in an article on a storm from 26 years ago. Why, what the hell was the point now?! I just could not respond anymore. Thank you to many of you for your support.
-
First of all, I was not blaming that particular reporter. Read above! Secondly, you completely ignored my own and some of my coworkers experience with some reporters where the quotes in some articles were not correct. And yeah my salary is good but I am not rolling in millions here. Me being a government employee has nothing to do with this. I have my own opinions which I can post here. So are going to dig deeper on this one article from a weather event that took place 26 years ago?
-
And you should improve your reading comprehension. Wow, just wow!!
-
Yeah hopefully but best to be prepared as you don’t want to mess around with ice. It will be interesting to see how quick the precipitation spreads East as it runs into really dry air initially.
-
All about timing. Most guidance has no precipitation to Philly until early afternoon.
-
Really WTH! Reporters do not always get the quote right. Not sure if that was the case here, as it was 26 years ago and it was not me who was interviewed. Why don’t you reach out to the Meteorologist quoted in that article then? He still works at NWS Mount Holly. You could have done so years ago!
-
So you are all of a sudden waiting for an answer 26 years later?
-
Who cares?! It was 26 years ago. Lessons I am sure were learned from that storm but you have to move on.
-
And I think AccuWeather provided forecasts to KYW radio then.
-
He must think I am making millions!
-
You just highlighted one forecast source with that article, no? Come on!
-
Meteorology is not a perfect science! Many advancements have been made, but there will always be weather events that are just not forecast quite right.
-
Also, it frustrates me when some point out the missed forecasts but rarely point out all of the successful ones. There are many more good forecasts these days than busts.
-
You are wrong! I have been misquoted in the newspapers over the years as has some of my coworkers. It does happen! Not often but it does. I am not saying this ‘96 article was a misquote but it does indeed happen.
-
He is a very good forecaster!
-
This was from ‘96! Was this post necessary? And from experience, reporters do not always get the quotes correct.
-
There is still all of January, February and March.

Old Crappy Coatesville Snowfall Records!

A fascinating thread. -
Well now, this thread certainly has come to life.

Or West Chester?

Not a bad idea.
