Having lived in a few different states in our fair land, it has been interesting to observe how local weather forcasters communicate what is, what might be, and what was, as it pertains to the weather.
The first time I saw weather forcaster utilizing intense radar imaging was in the Midwest. We lived in 'Tornado Alley' and those folks were serious about black skies with warm and cold air! But, even with their advanced gear, getting the weather nailed, was really tough. The big joke there was "If you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes."
Tuning into the weather forcast in Cali was a bit ridiculous once June hit. Quite frankly, the stations could have saved some big dough and just closed that part of the operation down. Sunny. Warm. Hot. Hotter. Plan any event, just take the sunscreen and lots of liquid! See you in late October!!
Here in the NW, we give great grace and kindness to our weather people. I'm not disrespctin' the professionals, but we understand that getting the weather prognosticated properly is out of their control. The disclaimers roll off their lips like the water off of my roof. Not their fault.
When they get it right, we give them zero credit and when they say it is going to be 85 and it clouds up and drizzles with a balmy 68, we give them zero love.
So, they say we might get some snow, other places more snow, the mountains lots of snow, in this new storm. We shall see!!! At any rate, it will be fun to watch it all come roaring in.
Remember: be nice to our weather people, their doing the best they can!!!
