Bwahahaha! A “prediction” from the same organization you said was full of shit because they say climate change is real.

Krom how long are you going to avoid answering why Bruce Gaspardi Sr. said you don’t get any snow that sticks around anymore. Why is that Krom? Why don’t you get snow anymore?

Bwahahaha! Temps are forecasted to get to almost 50°F, the streets are bare pavement and the snow is already melting. 
 

Thanks for proving Bruce Gaspardi right dumbass. Your snow melts soon after it falls and that’s why they can’t host races there anymore. Poor little Krom, grasping at straws, so desperate to try and prove climate change isn’t real. Enjoy more slop and mud. 

hmm

Potential for 50 inches of Lake Effect snow in NY for Thanksgiving weekend into the beginning of December, and the Euro, Canadian, and GFS are all showing a stronger, more amplified storm

Another long range forecast. You’re snow is melting as I type this. 

"brutal cold", and "monstrous amounts of lake effect snow" in the east, and midwest..

Calling for almost 2 straight weeks of lake effect before the trails open even open up north.

Trails don't open in majority of the state till Jan 1

Krom is too stupid to ever check the credibility of his sources.

YouTube: Suspend Direct Weather.

 

The Issue

Ever since 2013 - literally the start of his YouTube channel, Direct Weather has been pushing content that is misleading and simply not true.

On Twitter, the Weather Community takes note of this. Primarily, his non-stop use of the word 'MAJOR'. Go to his channel and you will find a treasure trove. https://www.youtube.com/c/DirectWeather/featured

Even the banner image for this petition is made up of 'Major' or 'Extreme'.

The types of things that Direct Weather has said

• Contradicts real information from the National Weather Service (reminder: a federal government agency)
• Uses extremely clickbaity thumbnails and images to attract more viewers to a situation that isn't as dramatic
• No known cases of this, but can lead to family panic/hysteria.
• Ignores his failures in predicting in the past and just moves onto something else.
• Uses evidence of futurecasts, not near-time casts, suggesting unlikely scenarios spreading to be as 'this will happen' (like calling an election when only 20% of the vote is in with a swing state)

Besides misinformation on an extreme level, Direct Weather with the YouTube algorithm, his clickbaitiness and 100K subscriber milestone is the perfect ingredients for misinformation to be spread.

Direct Weather is also earning money off of lies - his patreon account has 99 patrons, and with the lowest tier being at $3 suggests he makes about $300 from his patreon account, not to mention there is also his store/merch too.

The only efforts he really puts into saying "I'm probably not correct" is saying in the description to check the NWS/NHC (National Hurricane Center) for more information. Of course, he can only do so little because it's not like everyone before/after watching a video will read the description.

With this uncertainty and immaturity, it can be possible that sometimes he has no idea what he is talking about, and making random crap up and throws it into his thumbnail. The fact that he is so inaccurate shows he probably hasn't taken a decent amount of time studying meteorology. A *real* meteorologist YouTuber would probably, I would put a 90% chance on showing NWS or local TV news stations (also has to ensure safe and real news) instead of just showing models, which are always subject to change, because they always contradict each other.

There is only so much tweeting and clicking a report button can do to a company; so YouTube, we ask fondly to suspend Direct Weather and/or issue a warning to tell him to stick with accurate, not misleading information and use primary sources.

 

 

Why the fuck would anyone care what Bruce has to say

Calling for 15 inches of snow this week. If the predictions are correct I will be riding in a week. It’s looking like a normal winter as back in the day when I lived here I was always riding the first week of December.

I'd never heard of the guy.

Apparently he is the world renown expert for weather in the entire continental US

Krom is an even bigger idiot than I first realized.
 

It’s even more hilarious how Krom has avoided answering the question for months yet acknowledges he’s seen it. All the while his snow is melting as I type this. 

It's a stupid question.  

Why don't you refute what John Smith said.  He stated we are going to have the best winter ever.

 

Fucking washer fluid drinking moron.

Early COLD temps is the key to a great year. When we get frost and cold temps EARLY the trails don't get rocks turned up early riding. When the rocks are constantly getting turned up over ,,,the snow will have rocks mixed in all season long no matter how much snow falls.  SEEING lots of early cold temps!  Cold frost and then wet heavy SYSTEM snow packed in and freeze the rocks/gravel down before the trails get smashed with tons of traffic. Lake effect is great but its not really that great for freezing down a base and keeping the rocks/gravel held down in check. Seeing some very encouraging temps for WI and upper Michigan. Hell we might be riding for Christmas break on snow instead of snirt/rocks.

That and freezing wet areas and swamps. That was our biggest issue with early snow, couldn't get grooming equipment out on a certain percentage of trails.

For sure!  COLD before snow is best for this exact reason
