  1. Oh it has to be. We haven’t had a event like this so far this year but I’ve basically taught myself to push any mix line 50-100 miles north of where modeled. There was a huge Valentine’s Day storm in 07 or 08 I think and I was in slippery rock, and I don’t think Pittsburgh was really modeled to mix but the mix line made it all the way up to 80.
  2. These are the events we usually get screwed on. Hopefully not this time.
  3. Oh no, I think most met bashing is stupid and uninformed. That said I think that kpit and done I’d the locals often come off as lazy. Kpit’s discussions are severely lacking when compare to neighboring offices. Also, the locals generally do a poor job articulating that a big event is coming. Jeff v in particular really sucks with his constant “snow showers” forecasts.
  4. They were their own worst enemy with that event. All of us knew the night before it was likely going to Rain and they didn’t change.
  5. Euro 100% nailed the mid december storm while the GFS had us getting like 4 or 5 inches 12 hours out.
  6. I am 100% fine with this clearing out soon. I do not want another commute like Yesterday which was horrific.
  7. Anecdotally, I feel that this summer was one of the most brutally hot I remember, and until this year I felt that we kept 50-60 degree temps consistently through December. alberta clippers and LES used to be staples in the fall months but have disappeared. When is the last time we had a true clipper?
  8. Commute was hideous. Roads awful and people driving too fast. Of course the one person who I saw spin was a jag in a pickup...one of those guys that thinks that they are in Invincible in their 4wd
  9. I’m legit scared to go out in this. I just starred a new job a few months ago and feel stuck that I need to go.
  10. And once again my employer isn’t going to delay opening and force me to risk my car and safety to go to work. Probably going to have to call off again.
  11. THese are the types of storms that usually overperform for us. I am not looking forward to my commute tomorrow.
  12. God, him saying snow showers always ticks me off. If it’s a 3-5 event it’s not “snow showers”
  13. I just call off or start late, I don't care how much it pisses off any bosses. No job is worth risking your life for. Mine sure isn't. If I got killed in a car wreck, they'd replace me like it's nothing. I work in an "essential" industry too but I'm just a body to them. I've killed myself for my company for 21 years and they treat me like crap basically so screw them! Lol I went in late after that. Isn’t worth my life or my car for that matter. I just wish businesses were held accountable. The night of the mid December big storm I walked up to northway mall and places like Marshall’s and dsw were still open. Shows a massive lack of respect for employees to not send them home.
  14. Anyone else feel there should be some accountability for employers If they have the ability to keep people home for a day or delay start times and don’t and employers wreck going to work? I work in a bank and there is zero reason why we couldn’t have been on at least a delayed start but we weren’t and I nearly wrecked my car trying to get to work. I turned around and went home.
  15. Just got back from trying to get to work. Furious with my employer that put me in that spot. I spun out on McKnight and luckily didn’t hit anything. There needs to be accountability. I work in an essential profession but is also one that could deal with being closed for the day...there was no reason to be open or not to push back opening a few hours.
  16. Roads are horrific. Don’t go out unless you have to. Employers should Be held liable if they make people go out in stuff like this.
  17. Fairly irritated with my employer this morning. They have the ability to delay us coming in but they have not. Am not looking forward to getting in the roads.
  18. We agree on your last line....and you’re right the last storm was awful take after awful take for me. That said after that foot storm the rest of the season is gravy.
  19. Hey I want to be clear...everything after December is gravy. I’m not complaining, just pointing out concerns in the evolution of the system.
