Kudos to reader Sarah Thurston Housman's "Baby Shark" comment on Facebook for this menacing beauty by Henry Margusity. Doo doo doo doo doo, indeed. We will be swimming in snow come Sunday.
Twelve to eighteen is acceptable, but 14 to 24 inches? Come on, Channel 13, you're better than that. Imagine if GSD threw out a 0 to 10 inch prediction; you would not stand for it. And that bottom right corner is just plain lazy.
Channel 7 gets either the "Trying Too Hard Award" or "Not Trying Enough Award." In lieu of predictions numbers: Green--this is what you get for owning beach front property and having amazing summers. Off-white--Hire someone to clean off your snow--you can afford it. Light blue-- Light blue, light snow, light night. Blue--This is Patriots Country--Go Pats!; Pink--The trendy choice for moderate snow. Orange--Sound the alarm, raid to the grocery store, hide the children and small pets--we're going to need a bigger refrigerator!
The difference between this map from Channel 5 and Channel 7's map is the difference between a paid and an unpaid intern.
The individual progressions makes a certain amount of sense--purple to pink, pink deep red/maroon--but taken as a whole this map is tough on the eyeballs The numbers, though, are appealing, which is redeemable.
The Weather Channel. The Crown Jewel of weather map artistry. So many layers and subtleties. Logical and graceful. Magnifique! (And the the 2-3 feet prediction isn't bad either!)
