wagner Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Dear Weather Nerds, Are we going to get the epic amount of snowfall that some are predicting this weekend, or will it be a big meh? Thanks, Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 A meteorologist this morning finally put predictions into words that made sense: predicting a storm and claiming to know where, when, and how hard, it will hit is like someone throwing a tennis ball over a house trying to make it into a bucket on the other side with you standing next to them telling them whether they will make it or not while it's still in the air. Even the professionals at this point are like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hopefully it'll be close to what they're predicting. I fucking hate winter, but figure if it's gonna be cold, it might as well snow. Bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've been using Weather Underground for a few years now, and by far - as a lifelong weather buff - it has been the most accurate: I've got a Mad River trip with a bunch of 8-12yo girls and dads, and we're concerned about driving on Saturday: 2" of snow tomorrow, with 9" of snow forecast for Saturday. Of more concern is the bottom falling out on the thermostat on Sunday and Monday. Make sure your cars have a 50/50 mix of coolant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I just put in hot water the night before. Coolant is for pussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 As long as the weather waits until saturday, I'm cool with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 FYI, National weather service is affected by the gov't shutdown, so getting an accurate report out of anything right now is about as accurate as a magic 8 ball. This is on top of Randy's analogy for how tough it is to predict the weather normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10phone2 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 it's January.... it snows. Giving it about 24 hours before the news stations start hyping it up that were all in grave danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I could care less about about the snow , I’m more pissed the weather is calling it to be -6 Sunday night with a high of 12 Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Since the highs are in the mid 30's I think it will really lessen the snow totals. Rain will knock down all last weeks accumulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on top of Randy's analogy for how tough it is to predict the weather normally. Weather Underground uses a national network of privately-operated, commercially-available weather stations to monitor and forecast weather. Forecasting is still an art more than a science, but I'm just saying the only thing it's been wrong on is a few degrees off of high-low temps. I wouldn't rely on it providing data around the globe or what the oceans are doing thousands of miles away...but it's perfect for predicting Columbus weather a week out. Please change the title of this to Snowpocolyse 2019 so we can build a bit more hype Done and done. It's important that we instill fear in CR in order for them to act rationally. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
