It's a miss!

I am declaring as of now that we will get no more than 8 inches of snow from the current storm. Perhaps I am being an idiot but thats the way it goes. Im not just making this up(although most weather forecasts are pretty much that). My way is very direct and simple- just look at the radar and see where everything is going in a straight line and extrapolate where it is going to go. This screws me for things like the wraparound effect which I hate and is bullshit- if that happens again then we will get lots of snow. however I think the southern part of this storm is too organized and fast moving for that to happen. The eastern shore will get pounded significantly i predict too bad. There is a big gap in precip that is heading this way and the main moisture will just miss us to the east. Lets see if im correct.

The other thing to do is look at the our by hour for various cities in different parts of the storm and see if they make sense which they do not. In fact the hour by hour for here(which has been getting milder and milder) doesnt even agree with the special weather statement(which has been getting worse and worse).

So we will see what happens but I will go on record that this storm will be a big dud.

In terms of running today I ran at Longnecker- out 15 min then ran into Sanborn who was having his longest run in 3 years of 78 minutes. He talked to some new doctor who adivsed him to go slower on distance runs which apparently worked quite well! Then I did 6x2:00 with 3:00 jog it was fine fairly fast just on effort obv. My foot was a little sore on #4 so I took it a little easier and 5 and 6 felt better. 52 min which was a little short of 7 prob.

Now lets see if im right! haha

  2. well i was only off by about 17 inches. Hmph you cant beat computers obv although its best to keep trying. Its amusing how the news reports now all want the storm to end even though they love to talk it up before hand. AT least I am cleaning the house.
