I always have this thing about the weather and the meteorologist's ability to forecast properly. Especially when it snows.
Are they ever right? I know there are variables that can change the weather but let's be honest the snow event from Saturday and Sunday was a forecast that was completely missed. They predicted 1-3 inches, but it quickly turned 6+ inches. They claim they can't predict weather more than 48 hours in advance, uhm they couldn't predict this one 2 hours in advance.
The Farmer's Almanac, NOAA season outlook, WeatherChannel, AccuWeather should turn into an online gambling website.
This guy on the eastside had to be creative. But he pushed the snow into the street and the cops gave him a ticket.
Then they throw huge numbers out there and get everyone in a panic and its sunny 72degrees. Or how many times does 1 inch turn into 6?
This was when the YMCA kicked the homeless out of the warming shelter this morning:
I'm not a meteorologist, but what job can you say. "Well, we are looking at, if this happens, but then this could happen, but then this happened and basically be wrong about everything". Then go on the news the next day and act like nothing happened or that your forecast was right. You don't get fired either.
People rely heavily on the weather and modern technology should allow for more accurate results.
There is a forecast of a huge snowstorm coming in a week. For real. Let's cause mass panic for a week then it rains and no snow or tracks far North or South.
A meteorological forecast could easily be compared to the mayor of this city saying at the State of the City that everything is great.
Financially, we are in great shape. Taxes won't go up. crime is down yet people don't feel safe at all. Everyone is treated fairly. My cabinet is amazing and needs raises, yet what are their accomplishments? Of course, the biggest delusion -- morale in the city is up. They are both rarely right and one blatantly lies, and the other can be just wrong with limited or no consequences. Actually, both have limited consequences.
