So considering the dubious models, I don't blame them for holding back, this is anything but a clear cut winter storm at this point and I want snow as much as anyone. I'm sure warnings will come tomorrow if the models show more stability.
I understand all of that - they don't won't to cry wolf for a metro area of multiple millions. And as I've opined before, the skill set to accurately forecast winter weather probably isn't all that important in being a met in the DFW office - this is severe weather and drought country.
My only thing is that if you're not going to go out on a limb and make a forecast until the last possible second, how can you claim to have a forecast that has or has not verified?
You do what Pete Delkus did tonight on Channel 8 lol, somehow he managed to include everything under the sun in the forecast, you can bet he'll be saying he was right regardless of what happens.
