Snow-nami.

Snow-mageddon. 

Or will it be another round of ... ice-ice baby. 

When'll they start closing local schools? 

A source tells me NDSU has activated their < dramatic intro here: bah-buh-BAH! > WET -- Weather Event Team* -- to track the weather and its potential impacts on finals week. 

NDSU ... we always knew, they're all WET.  

 

*My guess? They monitor UND's Atmospheric Sciences skycam for updates and keep refreshing weather.gov/fgf .  

European model.....American model....blah blah blah.

Forecasting weather has turned into nothing more than dueling fear porn by our local outlets.

The problem is, when your forecasts don't pan out, people will be reluctant to believe you the next time.....and you may nail it on the head the next time.

KVLY is the worst when it comes to hyping weather beyond what is reasonable.

100% Accurate. Hutch is an absolute fear monger. His outlandish tactics will get people killed when they stop believing his shtick and a real Snow-nado takes them out.

WDAY is the go to for local weather, Wheeler is the gold standard for weathermen

Need to be specific: WDAY TV and WDAY-AM are not the same. (Wheely is TV, and yes, if he says duck you duck.) 

The guys doing WDAY-AM weather don't seem to be hype-mongers (but they have their LRC thing they're bought into).

KVLY in general is scare news

The only thing you should hype is a PDS Tornado Watch. Every warning issued in one of those watches needs to be taken seriously. But those watches are rare in this region.

I agree.  When I was a kid, a tornado warning meant take shelter as there is an actual fricking tornado.  A tornado warning now means next to nothing.

So with all the moisture in this recent snow the narrative of drought to start building your ark spring flooding starts in 3...2...1...

But they have the whistleblower hotline!

 

"the person or company that we are smearing could not be reached for comment" we tried to reach them at 11;45 p.m. last night but got no answer

lol.  Sounds like another Simpsons skit.

I think the cold snap broke my minus sign. 
The "outside temperature" on my car says "15". 
Where's the minus? 

Wait-what?
It really is 15 above outside!?!?!

So is the southern RRV braced for ...

The 2023 Valentine's Day Sno-mageddon Massacre? 

 

Surely @Oxbow6 is hunkered and ready. @Wilburjust calls it "Tuesday".

Apparently it's just another Tuesday on a Wednesday/Thursday.

Exactly......another Thursday in February. Weather was much worse Valentines Day night into the next morning. How can our local weather crew promote constant apocalyptic doomsday forecasts and be wrong 50% of the time? Hutch Johnson must get a kickback from Hornbachers on bread and milk sales.

Forecast for FM area Monday night 1". Yesterday morning 1-3". 9+" already in south Fargo.

Wheeler and Hutch need to scrap whatever models they've using and just get the opinion of a porn model....that would be as accurate.
