Joe, I saw an ad today on WBOC touting how great Dan Satterfield is; how he always gets it right. I just had to laugh, I guess he must have seen the comments here regarding his ability to predict accurate weather forecasts.

11:52, I saw it as well and burst out laughing. Yeah, you can trust Dan, NOT.

Stay off the Bypass has been many vehicles leaving the roadway.

Usually WBOC goes overboard before a storm and predicts more precip than we really end up getting. For today they were only calling for rain and we got snow and sleet. So they didn't even have the correct temp in mind.

A few minutes after hearing the "that's what Dan said" commercial, I opened the garage door and was amazed to see a glaze all over the driveway and cars. At 11 last night, the word was that there was an advisory for northern Delmarva. What a joke!

Question: If WBOC reported yesterdays weather today, how close would they be ?

At 1:55 this afternoon they still had their 5:55am 'forecast' posted! Calling for a high of 38* and precip later this afternoon.

If it weren't so sad (and irresponsible)
it would be funny.

OMG are you for real said...

They should save the millions in radar computers and go back to the barometer.

Look, you folks have Internet. Go to weather.com or noaa.gov or weather.gov.

That's all you need. Plus, look at the radar to see if their predictions match the radar. You can even do the interactive radar which shows development over 2 - 6 hours.

Really all you need.

Slick as all heck out there today.
