Not Quite.
Yes, it has sleeted and snowed. But...
Where is the SNOWMAGEDON that they were predicting?
What happened to the ICEPOCOLPYSE that was impending?
Did you guys just get bored and feel like stirring up some excitement? Looks like it.
Your forecast was way off, and in case you don't remember why here's a recap.
1) Saturday you were telling us that Monday the whole fucking world was going to be covered in ice. You made early prediction of 0.25 to 1.0 inches of ice. Thats a shit load of ice
2) Sunday it was a half inch of ice plus 8-12 inches of snow for St. Louis, points north of St. Lous would get even more. You compared the coming storm to the Blizzard of 1982 and the 2006 Ice Storm. You maintained that line all evening right up and into Monday morning.
3) Monday when the freezing rain that was going to shut down the Midwest didn't fall, you tried to bait and switch us with how much snow was going to come. At one point everyone of the local weather dorks was calling for 12-18 inches of snow; coming in white out burst through the day on Tuesday.
4) Tuesday has come and we got about 2 inches of sleet, maybe a millimeter or two of ice and as yet about an inch of snow. You have reduced the snow forecast for everyone by at least 6 inches and to the south of the St. Louis Metro area they are just getting rain.
Rain, not ice, not snow. FUCKING RAIN.
Tomorrow we better get a dumping the likes we have never seen or you guys are going to look pretty stupid.
There must be some pressure from the TV executive that the weather guys have to be exciting when the news is slow, but do you think it's really necessary to completely freak people out with predictions of historical level blizzards.
I remember the Blizzard of '82 and you fucked that prediction up to. It was only supposed to be an inch or two and because you guys failed at your jobs then, people were stuck all over the city. I guess with hindsight, its better to over-predict, but come on.
The Blizzard of 2011, Snowmagedon and the Icepocolypse: FAIL
With all due respect,
The Chief
