Precision. Dependability. Trust. Guts. These words describe AccuWeather Enterprise Solution’s forecasts and storm warnings during the extraordinary Buffalo Blizzard of 2014.
Guts. Precision.
By definition, record weather events are difficult
to forecast because that situation has never before
occurred. Yet, we know extreme weather situations
are when AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions’ clientele
most urgently needs accurate, timely information.
Consider: It takes considerable professional confidence
to forecast four feet of snow two days before the snow
begins falling. Yet, that is exactly what AccuWeather
forecast for a railroad client whose track passes through
upstate New York. Snow of that magnitude requires
extraordinary preparation and response.
Dependability. Trust.
No matter how good the storm warning, it accomplishes
nothing unless the user is willing to trust the forecast
and make decisions accordingly. AccuWeather correctly
located the geographically tiny area of heaviest snow
(in places as narrow as 15 miles) and told areas outside
that zone that no exceptional measures were necessary.
” I wanted to take the time out to personally thank you
all for your work on the recent winter storm that
hovered over the Great Lakes region and affected
the Western Region of New York State so badly.
The accuracy of the forecast that you provided to us not
only prevented us from staging [excessive] resources, but
also allowed us to help coordinate efforts with others
to help with their snow removal efforts.
We had forecasts from other sources that missed the
mark, calling for a scenario that would have covered
a particular region with feet of snow. After hearing
alarming claims that the weather could have been the
worst snow that Pennsylvania had ever seen, we went
to your team, and after talking with some of your team
members were confident in the fact that the storm
systems were going to stay hovered over Lake Erie,
which held true.
I wanted to personally extend a thank you to your
meteorological team.”
– Manager, State Government Agency
“You folks were all over this storm!” – Director, Fortune 500 Transportation Company
“ YOU are the only one that got (the blizzard) right yesterday and last night. Even the local “lake effect experts” blew it! Please give accolades to AccuWeather’s meteorologists. We truly appreciate the accuracy of your forecasts.”
– Sandy Creek School District, New York
Decisions were made to send crews and equipment from
Pennsylvania to New York and to continue to hold school
based on AccuWeather’s forecasts, even though other
forecasts incorrectly called for a major snow event.
Even in this era of rapid change in American business,
many of our clients have been with us for decades. Our
record of accuracy and outstanding customer service has
engendered the trust needed to make the tough calls
when Mother Nature is at her worst.
Precision. Dependability. Trust. Guts.
