Prairiedog Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've been around Steve a number of times. He MC's the OMSI meteorological society fall meetings and does a great job. I've been up at Crown Point for the obscene wind events up there when he and many of us other weather junkies hang out and is very gregarious and respectful to all. Whether he is a formally trained met or not, he's pretty thorough and comprehensive in his analysis and is pretty good (meaning accurate) as accurate as anyone else. He certainly has done as well as most of the local mets. To even put him in the same sentence as Martin is pretty insulting. If you want to take aim at him, maybe the respectuful thing to do is message him on his FB page and get the facts before you put a target on his back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They banter about their forecasts which is great as they don't take it as a life and death thing. Mark obviously is in a league of his own.

BLI snowman Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Seattle people should do fine regardless of where the main action ends up with the Sunday storm. As I pointed out yesterday, all models have been showing plenty of precip opportunities for Monday/Tuesday even well to the north of the storm.
