Once again you guys nailed it right on the money! "Everyone should average around 5 inches of snow," is what you said Eric and looks like that was exactly right. Good job on nailing this system down and keep up the awesome work!
Garrett: Thanks so much for noticing! We get lots of calls on the complaint line when we're wrong. I want to commend Justin and Adam for slam-dunking this in the days leading up to the storm.
Have a great weekend! -ES
I was driving home just a bit ago and there was more snow falling. Must be low deck snow since the radar isnt showing anything. Eric and the 13 weather authority rocks. Thats why I trust you three only when it comes to predicting these storms. Oh and for people who saw my post last night, I lost the bet with my best friend.
Yep great job guys ! It's a shame you get complaints about snow totals. I wonder if these same people call up the NWS and bug them when they're off a bit. I wish folks could remember that forecasting weather isn't an exact science, but we have come a long way. Nature is very unpredictable, it's unfair to blame a Meteorologist for a storm that falls apart, or has heavier snow bands in an unexpected location.
You guys are terrific, don't let those kinds of calls get to you. There are people that just like to find something to moan about.
