So what's the deal with this "oh we're going to get 10 inches of snow!" ?
So far it's not even sticking to the roads. Not that I'm complaining, I hate snow, but is there really a need for the hype?
So, in essence, I'm asking what the deal with meteorologists and forecasters is?
Why are the wrong, it seems, all the time!? Are they relying to much on technology to predict the weather? This dopplar radar thing doesn't seem to precise, if you ask me.
Yet, we listen to them, and we get all hyped up hoping for a dely or dreading the commute to school or work. I just don't understand it. I don't know weather to be happy there's no snow since I hate it, or be mad because that's all people talk about when the news predicts a massive snowfall.
Is anybody else feelin' me on this topic?
(Man, what a load of questions this was!)

Posted by: stormy at March 3, 2005 3:31 PMGah, weather forecasters are about as good as psychics (whom I do not believe in)--and real plus for meteorologists is that they get paid whether they're right OR wrong. We tend to think that the science they use helps us plan for one way or another, but really, they could tell us anything and be wrong. And they would still go grocery shopping, because the roads are clear, the same night without thinking they robbed us of time or sanity, with us batoning down the hatches like the end of the world is approaching because the weatherman said the "S" word... Funny isn't it?
