I'm not a met, but in environmental science at the college level. But part of the reason for what you are seeing for on-air mets, is many of them are actually not mets anymore. I think Lonnie Quinn is great, but his formal training is not in meteorology. His degree is in communications. He has really committed to learning meteorology though. Many have not though and simply follow the models. 

dr frank fields was an eye doctor...i used to think wow, doctor..he must be a highly trained met....david letterman did the weather iirc at some point in his career....

Just don't hide good information. My posts were hidden and based on the law. Many people do not know your insurance will not cover you when a travel ban is in place. It is serious and can bankrupt the average person easily. And if you MUST travel be sure that your employer will back you by calling you essential. I know there are cases in education where food service is clearly essential, but insurance didn't want to cover those employees getting to campus. The employer then had to do battle to say they were. 

JM's point is this discussion should be happening in banter and I agree.  I will move all the posts.

For all of you freaking out about a travel ban for NYC. Nassau County announced one last night.  This is bipartisan and it's about public safety and having the roads clear for the trucks to take care of the snow so we can get back to business as quickly as possible. Some of you are completely unhinged.

I went low on the KNYC/CPK forecast - 15.1" I think - largely because I think this will come in under the extreme projections but also because the heat island with this storm will be very real. We'll lose a lot of the early accumulation. People will bitch about NWS underreporting at Central Park, but the reality is the ground is warm and wet. 
 

I surveyed Riverside a short while ago and can’t find any place that won’t either lose accumulation to the warm wet ground or blowing.

A lot of these posts were hidden before I read them but seriously guys, get a grip. 

At 1:25pm in my UHI blessed Brooklyn backyard, my 36 inch snow stick is ready ……. Despite what my state of the art uncalibrated brick wall mounted thermometer has to say. I have hope, RJay, that the weenie you give me will eventually turn into a Bockwurst. Stay well and safe everyone, as always …

Been snowing all day on western Suffolk, 33.3, nothing to show for it 

32⁰ with steady light snow here.  It's starting to accumulate, mostly on colder surfaces, so I went and checked the amount that had melted in the 4" gage.  Just a trace, nothing measurable, so nothing has been lost to melting.

The GFS's big cutting down on the forecasts seems to say otherwise.

That's because you are living and dying by models runs. Globals are not as great to pinpoint amounts now. This happened 100% last storm too and the NWS was pretty much spot on. Unless the high-resolutions models and what is currently happening begins to look like it won't happen, go by the NWS forecast.
