dweese Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So that's the lastest weather term the weather idiots are using tonight. CityTV and TWN both used it along with the Twitter hashtag. 4 low pressure systems are set to merge over Lake Ontario Christmas eve. Could be rain, could be ice might be snow. Should be interesting.

Kerry Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just as bad as the term 'ponding'?? for the roads in the fall.Why not just say a chance of hydroplaning with heavy rainfall.it worked fine for the last how many years? I suppose they get bored with the same old same old and have to spruce it up. Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I try to follow the farmers almanac...they are usually spot on. Hopefully this next storm turns to snow...if it does, it could be just what we need to really get the ball Rollin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/12/17/meteorologist-shot/20545951/ The weather liar on CHEX is horrible for his exaggerations. In the fall, "It's going to be chilly tonight (40* F). During the winter, "We're going to have a warm up (temp going up 2 or 3*C). Warm ups during the winter seem to be his favourite forecast. I think he'd enjoy a warm winter (above freezing, rain & the smell of dog crap everywhere). If you want that kind of weather move to Vancouver. Don't get me started on Global's "Chipmunk". Annoying as %^&*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The "experts" keep crying wolf when they forecast. Sooner or later people will just ignore them. When I was living in Oshawa, a lot of the snowfalls that accumulated were the "unforecasted" ones. The hyped storms usually amounted to less than 10 cms.

revrnd Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 By the sound of the most recent forecasts (and no mention of a Santa Bomb) Christmas Eve & Christmas day are looking soggy w/ rain. I haven't heard "Santa Bomb" mentioned. Maybe the weather idgits realized how ridiculous it sounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
