THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

Re: THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

I'm aware, they overblow everything that occurs, and even they aren't calling for a snowpocalypse

the fact that even though they called for large amounts the last couple times and still came up short isn't making them bashful now

Agree with mookie. Weather underground is where it's at

Local TV news is a terrible place to get reliable snow forecasts.

Completely disagree with this...some are better than others (I personally think Channel 5 is the best), but the local people understand the patterns and trends in this area. National forecast services have no clue and continually underestimate snowfall amounts. In addition, they generalize over large areas. The local forecasters understand what areas locally will always get more and they point that out.

Spot on.

sorry.

after mish michaels stopped doing local weather there was no longer a reason to watch them :p

Exactly.

Yes, over the course of now through Monday night. Not all Monday. Means more time to plow it.

Yeah...I would agree if there weren't already so much snow on the ground. This is Boston...the streets are the same ones that were cow paths 400 years ago. There's no place to put it and the city is crippled. At this point there doesn't have to be much more to cause major problems. I'm just trying to put it in perspective. It's a big deal for us, but in the overall scheme of things, not sure they want another major headache if it's avoidable. Remember, in 1978 they played the final in March. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility that they just may want to move it because they're getting close to the "tipping point."

As Mookie has tickets for habs tomorrow and beanpot next he'd be ok with both games postponed for a week or two :)
 
Re: THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

Just saw 20-24" on WHDH, but a little less on WCVB. Oy.

If they move it I think Tuesday the 17th is a better option than Thursday the 12th or Monday the 23rd since it would be 3 games in 5 days as opposed to 3 in 3(the 12th) or 3 in 4 (the 23rd).

Jeff Masters at Weather Underground, The Weather Channel, and all of the local stations are reliant on the same models, with three being the most used: 1) GFS Model (Global Forecast System, based on a 1 degree x 1 degree grid spacing, also known at the "American Model," 2) NAM(ETA) Model (North American, 0.11 degree x 0.11 degree grid spacing), and 3) ECMWF (European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts, also known as the "European Model"). The first two models are managed by NWS/NOAA (the National Weather Service, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). All three models are derived from satellite data and continuous runs on supercomputers. Sometimes the models do not agree, such as the ECMWF nailed the blocking high pressure system that sent Hurricane Sandy on its dog leg west, whereas failed by overestimating the snowfall in New York City about two weeks ago (it is all about pressure gradients, storm tracks, etc). But, all three models forecasted correctly the big snow dump on southern New England. The local TV and radio broadcast meteorologists who discuss the different models are the ones to trust the most, IMHO.
