So you learned a new phrase today, but haven't quite figured out what it means yet, I see. It's not fear mongering, it's simply pointing out a few facts about that company, which are not in dispute, unless you want to tell us you're a fan of 90 day forecasts.
Ok, for the sake of the thread, leave the privatization question out of the discussion. Do you support a company that would knowingly put out indefensible 45 and 90 day forecasts? Those are purely clickbait and they give me pause in using their forecasts even for the short-term, as there's a trust issue there for me.
If this storm delivers 3-4" of rain, the river flooding is going to be widespread and moderate to major and there will also likely be localized flash flooding given high rainfall rates, especially N/W where there is significant snowpack with will mostly melt. Coupled with high winds and some power outages, this storm is absolutely going to suck. Let's hope this one underperforms and we only get 1-2" of rain, which will be much less impactful.
Are you seriously going to argue that there is value in a 45 or 90 day forecast? Scientifically, you must know you're completely wrong if that's the case. I'm not advocating making them illegal, as people are allowed to consume dumb/wrong info if they want, but at the very least, why support such companies?
Thanks! You saved me a bunch of typing. If people go to the game just be aware of the areas that you know are prone to flooding on your way home.
Not to speak for him, but I think he’s just recommending that you not argue with Numbers on every piece of minutiae and let these threads breathe a little. People like these threads. The traffic speaks for itself. Let people read them and take away what they want without having to wade through the bicker clutter.
Prime example. We’re trying to talk rain and flooding here. Is this necessary or productive?
Honestly, I don’t give a f—k. I’m here to discuss the upcoming event and observations of the impact that our community has. I skimmed the Accuweather back and forth because it’s boring and has little to do with the upcoming event.
@bac2therac has a tendency to clutch to his pearls and keep revisiting the same themes. Just go see his posts on the women's basketball boards. Never has anything good to say and keeps reverting back to "what should have been done." What's done is done. Cut it the F loose already.
I mentioned how those are generally fine for the short term in my original reply to you, but I guess I'd rather give my business "clicks" to companies that don't put out products that are complete BS, knowing they're complete BS (there hasn't been a met in the business that I know of who hasn't condemned their stupid 45/90 day forecasts). Free country though, so click away.
He was responding to someone attacking him with Accuweather. And as I said in another post, I really don’t care about that discussion. Now let’s leave that crap alone and get back to tomorrow’s event.
You are a trainwreck with your constant debbie downer crap here and on the WBB board. Concentrate on men's hoops. I can do whatever I please. I'll bring your weather crap over to women's hoops if I want to. 😉 I still think you are a fairly solid poster enough of the time and agree with you on several things though.
Because he is not the one ruining every weather thread and annoying everyone. As you said yourself, read it and make your own interpretations. Or better yet, start your own weather threads and stop posting on these. Let the board members determine where they want to invest their time.
