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.

Re: Ask Me About Being a Weatherman
how often do you come in tired and hungover and just plug your zip code into weather.com?
do you feel that weather.com has made your job near obsolete? do they make you go stand in hurricanes, etc.?

[/ 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.
