Right? And even they don't seem to be able to look out the window and see if it's raining or the wind is blowing.
Yeah. "Mostly sunny, low 40s with a slight (10%) chance of drizzle. Winds light and variable, gusts to 12-15 NE"  http://vid108.photobucket.com/albums/n29/birddown/videos/MVI_7854.mp4

People still get their weather from TV?

Why would you trust NOAA when they are the Govt? The Govt is what is driving this bogus climate change that Weather Channel has swallowed.

TWC is the doom and gloom, we're all going to die because of climate change channel.
Weather Underground has numerous local reporting sites and a really nice iPhone app. Best for hunting as it has the winds, moon phase, moon rise/set, sunrise/set and its just easy to navigate.

Weather forecasters simply remind me that I am in the wrong profession. I can't think of a single other profession other than meteorologists where you can be wrong all the time, people expect and accept you to be wrong all of the time, and you continue to be employed and paid to be wrong.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

And of course sometimes they combine forces to create an invisible synergy of stupid.
"Remember we said we'd have you in Chicago by 1700? We can't do that any more."
"Oh. Why is that?"
"It snowed."
"Ok. Can I have my money back?"
"No."
"When can you have me in Chicago?"
"When it stops snowing + flight time."
"Ok. When will that be?"
"No idea."
"Ok. Thank you."

Weather predicting has become rather good. NOAA has top notch marine forecasting and most of the other websites simply borrow from them. It's not voodoo when you can watch the systems on radar move. Timing can be difficult for them, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at the conditions and tell things are arriving either early or late. 100+ days on the Alaska ocean for the last 12 years, and I've been surprised once.
What screws most folks up is the are oblivious to tides and the effects certain tides have with certain weather conditions. Tides are as big as a factor as wind when considering ocean conditions.

In lieu of civil suits for messing up a forecast, let's kidnap the next meteorologist that steps on his dick, and torture him.
Betcha they tighten up a little after that.

I actually find that weather forecasts are very accurate. Every now and then they'll miss something, but for the most part they are right on.

I'm headed to a tree stand in the fall, or a regular run through one of the local battlefields on most days. Very rarely do I get any unexpected conditions.

You on the east coast?
The further east I've lived the more accurate the weather predictions for sure.
I think the CD does strange things that can't be guessed. I've never lived on the west coast.

I'm 3 hours from the Atlantic and the local weather hack, Van Denton, can f up a forecast like a soup sandwich.

I got a ten spot that says global warming is the reason Winner, winner, chicken ....... Seems anytime they can push a record high temp they push the G Warming crap. Record lows, no biggie.

Travis Lived in CO, FL, CA, and now VA. Definitely the least accurate in CO, but that was years ago. They have a long time to watch fronts get to the east coast. Hard to be surprised.
