One Channel, Two Wildly Different Snow Forecasts

If you were watching WCBS-TV/Channel 2 in New York within about a 20-minute period tonight, you were treated to two very different forecasts for the snow storm expected to hit the area Friday.

Lonnie Quinn's forecast on CBS 2 News at 6:00:


David Bernard's forecast on the CBS Evening News at 6:30:


Depending on which forecast the south shore of Long Island listens to, they'll either get four to eight inches of snow or one to two feet.

Same channel.

UPDATE:  CNN's Chad Myers pointed out that the computer models are very different.  If you look at these forecasts, New York City will get either 5.7 inches or 23.3 inches of snow.

The decimal point conveys precision!

Snowy Saturday

Here's a look at how the New York stations are forecasting this storm that's affecting the tri-state area tomorrow as of the 5:00 p.m. newscasts. (I'm not a fan of CBS 2's and NBC 4's maps that pinpoint a few locations and forecast the snow accumulations to the tenth of an inch... Let's accurately forecast the ranges first, OK?)

More Colorful Maps

WNBC's news won't start until after midnight so they miss the deadline. The maps all look pretty much the same.
