danstorm Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 TWC had 6-10 or 8-12 for NYC. Not bad for a bunch of has beens and wannabes. Of course, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Imagine if that little band didn't set up shop over the city yesterday and drop 3-5? Ouch. TWC has some incredible talent. They may not put them on the air, but they have some of the best mets in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABSOLUTLEY INCORRECT The TWC had 18 to 24 yesterday for KNYC and CHANGED that forecast in the early evening . They had that forecast was out for 36 hours . You want to high five them for taking totals down when the system was 75 miles east of the Delmarva , no way . Talent or not they busted West on Nassau county like everyone else .

Guest Pamela Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 But people in New England brag about their snow hardiness. I work with folks from New Hampshire and they laugh at a school day for 8 in of snow. My BIL in ME said they used to hope for ice storms because school almost never closed for snow. Judge Souter thought he could drive to the Supreme Court in the 96 blizzard because he grew up in New Hampshire. The National Guard had to dig him out of a snowbank. Of course it was Salia's idea IIRC to even hold court when the rest of the mid Atlantic was closed. But how could that be since William H Rehnquist was the Chief Justice (in 1996). Scalia was an Associate Justice and it would not be up to him...Rehnquist...raised in Wisconsin, was always reluctant to let the elements stand in the way of the normal conduct of business.

Trust me, I'm no fan of the network, but while OKX was still doing the 24-36 circle jerk, TWC had 8-12 or 6-10 (I forget which), so clearly they did something right and they were able to pull the trigger way faster than the NWS. So yeah maybe TWC was late to the party, but the NWS never even arrived. I just remember a lot of people complaining about their forecast last night because half of the forecast had already fallen during the day.

Superstorm93 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Millions of people in New Jersey are going to want answers. The fallout from this storm is going to be much more prolific than anything it ever produced snow-wise. And this has to be worse than 2001, at least in NJ. People went to sleep expecting 18-24" and woke up to 1-2" here. It's a bad joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 86 million people in New Jersey are going to want answers. The fallout from this storm is going to be much more prolific than anything it ever produced snow wise. Think you might have overestimated the NJ population a bit there....

They had someone ( I don`t know who , because I don`t watch them ) on CNBC and they had 18 - 24 from the city across Long Island and they threw the feed to the TWC and that`s what I saw they had out . That`s what I saw . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 there's a reason why Upton averages more snow than NYC... Well ISP averages less than NYC (by 0.2 inches), and so do some of the other typical spots that get screwed like SE coastal CT (GON) into RI (UUU). It's not like the places getting hit hard today average much more snow than the city. Eastern LI into CT/RI is a snow hole. Even the Cape does better.
