Do you hate Weatherman like this? ![]() Jackie Johnson Weatherman KCAL L.A. [/ QUOTE ] Not necessarily, but I do hate that a lot of weather anchors are just people with broadcasting degrees and pretty faces who point to a screen and say what they see. Weather requires analysis by a meteorologist. That said, there seem to be a lot of people like ^^^^^^^ in jobs just cuz of pretty faces. |

[/ QUOTE ] Once in a loooooooooong while... but 99% of the time, no. And btw, www.noaa.gov is way better I do think about this sometimes, but the fact is that computers don't quite have it down yet. As a forecaster, you have to juggle different model outputs/many other factors while making a forecast. Even if computers could perfectly forecast, you'd still need someone to go on tv and tell it, right? Not yet, but if a hurricane ever makes it to OH, I'll be the first to get my nose in it. |

Have you ever come up with a scheme involving giving false forecasts so that the golf course will be open for you?
