CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He spent his time spinning a widespread 1-2" with spot 3-4 inch amounts as a great forecast for the reality of C-1 with a spot 2" amount. It becomes a mind-numbing mutilation of semantics sometimes. Seems like the NE hills of CT have a culture of weenie-ism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My personal forecast of C-1 with maybe a few spot 2 inchers I'm quite happy with. That was my forecast too (C-1" with scattered 2" spots) and we ended up with 1.5" here. Most of the local news stations went with C-2" which worked out pretty well.

CapturedNature Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Coating to an inch forecast and getting 1.5" is a bust? I'm glad you weren't a client of mine. My personal forecast of C-1 with maybe a few spot 2 inchers I'm quite happy with. It's not a big deal and the difference between the two is miniscule. I get that but when someone is called out for calling for amounts more than an inch and the constant trying to prove that it was wrong gets annoying. It is technically an bust. (but not a huge one) Your call was spot on - others called for maybe 1". That was my forecast too (C-1" with scattered 2" spots) and we ended up with 1.5" here. Most of the local news stations went with C-2" which worked out pretty well. I hadn't heard the calls for up to 2". Maybe pickup some more if that squall line out in NYS holds together?

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Most everyone got a c-1. Your really splitting hairs if because a few locals got slightly over an inch, it becomes a busted forecast. That's a stretch. It was a c-1 event.

Ginx snewx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Man that's a heckuva mid winter squall in BGM, classic style. Today was a very interesting day of weather watching, very untypical. OES flakes wafting down when I woke up coating my truck, howling southerly winds with a ground gust to 44 and an elevated 62, temps soar to 36 but then drop in ssw winds with pretty strong winds and squally snows, then a flash freeze. All in all great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Have about an inch, took the dog for a walk and there's still light snows. Got sprayed at by a skunk, missed a direct shot but the funk is still clinging to us, my wife isn't going to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I dd love about Ithaca was the squalls with arctic fronts...they'd often pick up lake moisture so the fronts almost always had some good squalls there...brief 100 yard visibility type stuff...pretty cool.

CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I swear there are more posters from this portion of the state per capita than most other areas. Most mentioned iso 2" possible in spots and yes I think C-1" is what worked out the best and I would forecast that again. It would be a win in my line of work.

Like "widespread 1-2 with 3-4" lollis"...then trying massage that into a good forecast and saying people should tell him "great job" because there were some pockets 1.5" of snow amongst a widespread C-1". Maybe we'd better off just ignoring it. Because I agree the semantical arguments start getting mind numbing. I know how hard forecasting snow is, so I'd certainly be one of the first to congrats a good forecast. What I don't have sympathy for is anyone trying to get kudos for a mediocre or poor forecast or trying to spin it into a good one. (people would often criticize JB for this after a busted extreme storm call). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
