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.
OT: Round 2 Rainstorm 1/12 (not as bad as round 1); Rainstorm 1/9-10 - Major Urban/Stream Flooding, High Winds and Coastal Flooding Likely

I am really not looking forward to this storm. It will ruin all the good snow from this weekend at the nearby ski areas. Then I have friends in areas like Spanky that will be severely impacted by flooding. It's going to suck.

Interesting that you are posting something perhaps a decade old and disputed
How about let people decide. Imagine if someone didnt buy a tech company how many stories would be suppressed right now that were in fact quite true
Indiana passes better than we do. Bad weather ought to help us.
Also, high wind warnings are now up for the entire DE/NJ/NY coasts for winds of 35-45 mph with gusts to 60 mph, while wind advisories are up for just about everywhere else for gusts up to 50-55 mph. These kinds of winds will lead to some downed trees/wires and power outages, especially given the highly saturated soils.
And coastal flood advisories up for the Delaware River past Trenton and the Hudson River up through NENJ/NYC to the Tappan Zee, but are not yet up for the NJ Shore (but might go up later) and a Coastal Flood Warning is up for most of LI and the Chesapeake Bay for widespread moderate to locally major tidal flooding, especially with Wednesday morning's high tide.

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.
Everything doesnt revolve around you
Let people make their own decisions. I am pretty sure people can take what they want from 90 day forecasts. Perhaps mets who get 7 day forecasts wrong should get fined?
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.
Also, to add insult to injury, we're likely to get another 1-2" of rain Friday night/Saturday...
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?
And now you want to fine mets who get forecasts wrong? I wouldn't have thought you'd support creating some bloated bureaucracy to administer such a thing. Another dumb idea.
Yep, looking at flooding off of the Ramapo River now, looks like minor flood stage by Wednesday morning. Who knows what it'll be once all the snowmelt starts flowing into it upstream. Pompton River in Pompton Plains is gonna be much worse, gotta bet Route 23 will be closed once again.
Just saying..if you really cared about accountability...just faux outrage about Accuweather
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.
So then how about you don’t get mad when weather threads are started too early for your liking….
As you just said above…let people “take what they want” from them…fair?
Weird flex..its not like im reporting him..are you against free speech. Its a message board...people are posting opinions. Its not a science (ahem whatever is left of it) board
Absolutely not. Just pointing out the irony here..not trying to flex. Just doesn’t make much sense to me that you’re fine with people “taking what they want” from AccuWeather’s 45 and 90 day forecasts but if a weather thread is started 5 days before a potential storm you say it’s way too early…
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.
Why are you trolling
Very obvious that for all the so called mean girls on one side the same anount of tired *** posts are coming from the Number stans
Someone posted something from Accuweather and Numbers chimed in disparaging it.so why arent you calling him out as well. See how that works. Be accountable. Big part of this is the continued chiming in from peanut gallery
Prime example. We’re trying to talk rain and flooding here. Is this necessary or productive?
So as i said why didnt you call out Numbers
The hypocrisy here is insane. You guys rushed in to defend him here
Not trolling at all..trying to have a convo so I’ll ask again…
Why are you ok with 45 and 90 day forecasts but not ok with a weather thread started 5 days before a potential storm? Can’t people take what they want from each?
I dont read 90 day forecasts so who are you even arguing with
People can give opinions here..right now you are trolling
People can give opinions here..right now you are trolling
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’m asking you a question. You’re refusing to answer. Not quite sure how that’s “arguing” or “trolling”
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.
Refusing to answer the question. Very telling…be better
Bernie Rayno and Mark Mancusco formerly of TWC are they not respected meterologists with 30 years plus in the business
Agree with BAC who I’m supposedly “trolling”…lol. People should take away what they want from 45 and 90 day forecasts. But according to BAC, 5 day forecast posts here shouldn’t be started. Just a weird view.
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.I think Rayno is a hype artist…I’m not too familiar with other accuweather meteorologists but again, I have no issue with them

Cvs ran the program into the ground. Many posters saw it coming from 1000 miles away but posters put their head in the sand. Coquise is an Eddie Jordan hire for 3 years until Hobbs gets serious about the program again.
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.
