So you are preemptively predicting a bust?

Environment Canada hasn't issued anything for SW Ontario although they are calling for a little bit of snow tonight. I agree that very little is going to happen.

It’s gonna depend greatly where you are... north of M59 into the thumb seems to be the line between say 2 or 3 at most and getting 6-8... roughly Northern Oakland county to Alpena...

So, we have people on here calling meteorologist idiots and then go on and use a double negative saying that “we won’t get nothing”. Does that mean we are going to get a lot? And then we have people calling the Toledo station dumbasses, and then proceed to use the wrong form of the word there. I suggest you guys get a BS in meteorology, create your own forecast, and post it on here. It’s easy to forecast the snow after the fact.
Stick to radio predictions, those are a fun read.

Which station do you work for?
It's obvious you work for one, or you wouldn't be getting this defensive over our discussion

Gotta love the grammar police.
If you don't like what somebody says then if you can nitpick their grammar you can use that to question their intelligence.
If you use a double negative evidently you are too stupid to question the weather predictions.

One thing for sure here in Ann Arbor the morning rush will not be the slushy mess I heard last night.

It's 6 am and no sign of snow. It rained a heck of a lot though.

Hey guys! Sorry for getting so defensive last night. I have been a casual viewer of this website for quite a long time and enjoy the good reads. Yes it is pretty frustrating when people who do not have the knowledge share their thoughts. It is actually very constructive to actually reach out to a meteorologist, to learn what it takes to predict events like this. The computer models can only go so far. If you have the wrong initial conditions, any extrapolation in the models is going to be exponentially off the further you go out.
The reason you do not see me post on here is because I have very limited knowledge, but a high passion of the subject; therefore, do not want to flood the board with trivial questions, thus my private messaging of metalhead on occassion.
I am definitely open to constructive dialogue....but this is probably not the platform to do it. I love weather, was a meteorologist years ago, and love to talk about it. I may have been out of it for several years, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night!

I thought the weather folks did a pretty good job forecasting this storm.

The onset, duration, rain/snow line and probably totals will stack up pretty much as forecasted.

Some models were overdoing projected totals back toward Lansing, Kalamazoo and GR, and virtually all forecasters picked up on that fact correctly. The conditions by Lapeer, for example, are pretty nasty right now.

RadioKev, no offense, but you are clueless on this subject. The Winter Storm Watch never included the heart of the metro area. Forecasters have said all along that the east side, downtown and downriver would see little accumulation from this system. Up by Holly and Lapeer, it is a completely different story, as projected.

The forecast is 100% accurate in Traverse City, and in Chicago.

What the complainers don't comprehend is that just because they missed a storm band doesn't mean it didn't hit.

I live behind a large dune, so clouds often move North of my area. Is the weather forecast applicable to me? No but it was to someone.

Any time you have weather traveling over a body of water like Lake Michigan, things will not be completely predictable.

I would say it was pretty spot on forecast overall.
