Nor’ Easter Computer Models Wrong 12 Hours Out as Forecasters Totally Blow Storm Totals

WMUR forecast screen grab

For days we’ve been inundated with news about the impending superstorm bomb blizzard, nor’ easter thingy and an expected 18-20 inches across a wide swath of the Granite State. Businesses closed early. The northeast shut down. For what?

We’ll get about six inches of light snow and some wind.

The computer models called it wrong. A few hours out, and they got it wrong.

The response from WMUR, the local affiliate, is to have all their meteorologists talk about how, despite being so wrong about the snow totals, it’s windy out (which it is), and visibility might be terrible. Maybe, along the seacoast. And it’s cold. This is not great weather but not the snowpocalypse.

Talk about a letdown.

We went from close to two feet to 4-6 inches after the peak snowfall hours dwindled.

You should have just said, hey, it’s going to snow. Maybe 0-60 inches. Can’t get that wrong.

Meanwhile, we’re supposed to accept without question that the models that tell politicians to tell us the planet is doomed unless we let them redistribute trillions of our dollars to them should be taken seriously.

History has shown us that they, and their models, are as bad as the ones used to predict this storm.

Now add the scores of other global variables over decades, and we can see why they’ve failed to predict anything. Oh, that and the continued admissions that this has nothing to do with whether or climate.

Does Vegas run odds on climate predictions because I’d like to see those?

I know, I know, the climate changed, and it still snowed. That’s something. Right? And maybe shutting down New England for a day or a half-day and being wrong is no big deal, but shutting down America forever? No thanks.
