rdsknbill Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Not that these weather geniuses can actually forecast winter precip. We were supposed to get a "dusting to an inch" last week. We got 6 inches. Here is the latest for my area from NOAA Saturday: A chance of snow or rain showers. Cloudy, with a high near 34. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Saturday Night: Snow or rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 19. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Sunday: A chance of snow or rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

When anyone posts their OFFICIAL prediction I will track that and at the end award the points to the most accurate prediction in a seperate thread.

Ji Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 I could actually see this being more of a Miller B system.This would be bad news for you guys in DC/MD but not too bad a blow to me. I'll keep an eye on it. its not Miller B in the least....its a hybrid Miller A with redeveplment. Storm develops in Gulf...heads towards Tenn Valley...then redevelops on the coast. Very similar to Feb 2003 blizzard. Miller B is typically a storm that heads west to east or could even be a clipper that redevelops north of DC and blows up in New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye on it. Ah....I just noticed you are on this side of the state too! What do you think about the Roanoke and NRV? The damn forecasts are always so wishy washy. And as I ranted in my previous post, I swear we havent had a good snow in a looooong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I honestly don't think we'll know until Friday. Track is everything in these storms. Too far west and the interior gets pounded and we don't. New Margusity map: Note: This is NOT definite in the least. This is jut what he thinks as of the latest GFS 12z run.

jbooma Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 why do i even try???????????????????????????????????????your tone seems to be that of argument, yet you say nothing that contradicts anything i typed. :doh: Good question, maybe it is because you are always wrong, i am tracking predictions not posts For those that want to play:Originally Posted by jbooma For us to ever get a big storm it has to come from the south and use the gulf's moisture. If this is coming more westward then it will end up being nothing. Lets start the weather rumble again: 3 pts for getting the storm right within 72 hours 5 pts for getting the storm right within a week - 3 pts for every wrong prediction you only get 1 prediction so the key is to be accurate 3 pts for getting the accumulation ban correct with 3 inch measurements 1 to 3 etc.. 5 pts for getting the exact amount (using national airport) - 2 points for every ban that is incorrect if we get 1-3 and it was 6-9 you lose 4 points -5 pts if you call snow and we get ice (a combo is ok) - 100 pts if you bull a Bob Ryan you call for snow in terms of feet and we do not get one ****ing flake what do you all think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooma Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Was 96 or 93 the storm where it was a tropical snow event?? I remember the weathermen saying the reason why this storm was so powerful because it was basically a tropical storm in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard saunders Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'll take any of the 3 above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the weathermen saying the reason why this storm was so powerful because it was basically a tropical storm in the winter. Any huge snow we get around here is the result of massive amounts of moisture feeding in from the gulf region. Just has to coincide with a Canadian cold front at the right time and thats the tricky part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Good question, maybe it is because you are always wrong, i am tracking predictions not posts you are tracking accuracy of information in posts. kind of strange, since you had no idea that the state of new jersey has a ton of high school football talent....among other numerous gaffes / lacks of knowledge.

The damn forecasts are always so wishy washy. And as I ranted in my previous post, I swear we havent had a good snow in a looooong time. I think we're looking at around 4 to 8 inches here in Southwest Virginia. And you're right. We haven't had a good snow in a long, long time. I think our total last year was like 5 inches.

Ji Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 When you are ready to make your official forecast....just say it. You can have 1 call and a Final call because things do change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 When you are ready to make your official forecast....just say it.

Ji Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 there has to be some parameters for that though Everyone should make their first call by Thursday and make their Final Call by Friday 2:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Everyone should make their first call by Thursday and make their Final Call by Friday 2:00pm. then we can take the points from each and average out the final tally?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 then we can take the points from each and average out the final tally?? I think your final call is your final call but there should be a deduction if you need to have 2 forecasts. So if you just have one on Thursday and not make a 2nd call, you wouldnt lose pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandaceM23 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I will kick everyones ass in the predictions. It's going to snow ... and accumulate ... and we're going to have 1 million inches of snow. So whateva *******! Self Edit - I said the B word in plural ... and it makes it through the filters. Don't want to get into trouble. :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
