tamarack Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, OceanStWx said: Not too often you see the north/south gradient reversed for an entire month like it has been. A single storm sure, but to have just about every system perform better to your south is a bit of an oddity. We go from like 40" near the MA border to the high teens in your area. Climo will, eventually, assert itself as in 07-08, 13-14 and last winter. However, there's been more than average, it seems, when the opposite occurs - 02-03, 04-05, 09-10, 14-15. The 2nd and 4th of those winters were good here, great to our south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever claimed we had 2, never. As far as verification goes that's all your gig. Us mere mortals see thick ice, it's an ice storm. 2 to 4 inches of snow it's a snowstorm. You really want to improve research get NCDC off its ass and correct their incomplete incorrect databases. You guys troll all the time so once in a while it's good to get you wound up. We joke Seems like you're arguing a lot for a joke about ice storm criteria. The reason I even come to AmericanWx half the time is to inform people interested in weather how we do things. But if mere mortals don't want to hear about it and just want to do their own thing that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all its us you serve not the other way around. You do fantastic work Chris but understand how we as the GP see things. An ice storm might not meet rigid standards set by NWS but ask anyone what it was and I bet 99.9% say ice storm not freezing rain event. As I said I was trolling Scott like he trolls. Obviously semantically you were correct but I guarantee people will remember it as an ice storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I troll because you guys get bent out of shape. Our points are correct. Kevin had just over a tenth of an inch in his ice storm. Now down by HVN? Different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody even knows what a freezing rain event is, all storms are blizzards, etc. We serve through teaching and outreach too, and I don't see myself as doing service by allowing misinformation to fester. Opinions are fine, but objective analysis by subject matter experts ultimately determines how events are categorized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems NWS uses ASOS for verification a lot. Hopefully funding increases dramatically now. Its extremely important the work you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
