Well, I have to add my rant about the weather. Might bet long.... First thing is they have to MAXIMIZE and exaggerate everything about the weather. Never good enough to say that it is 10 below. They have to add in as much drama to make it a ridiculous wind chill number. Never can say it is hot and humid. Have to have a "misery index." Not good enough to say that the temp will be in the mid 30s. No, they have to try to put a precise number on it like 34 or 36. Implies a level of accuracy that simply does non....no, CANNOT exist in forecasting. There is no such thing as a consistent temperature across a region. It can vary from one house to the next. When it comes to precipitation, whether it be rain, snow, or otherwise, they get it wrong more than right. What gets me is the way people (sheeple?) panic over a forecast, and seem to forget how wrong the last one was. Then there are the idiots that have to run out and stock up on milk and bread every time snow is in the forecast. I wonder how much of this ends up spoiled and thrown out? Then there is the much overused "S" word - STORM. Since when did a quarter of an inch of rain constitute a storm? Or an inch of snow flurries falling gently from the sky under calm winds? Last I remember, a storm meant something more than ordinary precipitation. Then there is the big production that the TV stations make about the weather. Some bimbo with about the IQ of a turnip pointing to a map, and giving us a lot of doubletalk. Most times when I turn on the tv to get the weather, I end up turning it off and not knowing any more than I did before I turned it on. I long to see the whole weather bit return to a day of common sense and a bit more accuracy before they lose the little bit of credibility that they have left.
