Hello Weather Nation

?

Just the latest damned to Hell by doc for some perceived slight.

I got a ten spot that says global warming is the reason

I recently discovered that channel too. I'm glad Dish picked it up. It was what the Weather Channel was before it became the joke it is today.

Hopefully Weather Nation will expand their local coverage.

Huh have to check it out. Maybe they will pick up Coast Guard Alaska or other worthwhile programs.

TWC annoys the hell out of me. They'll schedule a show I want to watch, they pr-empt it to spend two hours telling me about snow in Maine.

Maybe

Yep, found it several months ago. As mentioned, what the old WC used to be, and much more tolerable...

Best Regards

Don't get your dopplers up on this either. One of the co-founders, Paul Douglas from Mpls. WCCO TV is a huge climate change proponent. The fact is if you are coming from any science based level of higher education, you've been marched to the shrine of "man made global warming" and sworn to defend it to the death.

Them alleged hog hunting puzzies on Animal Planet annoy the Hell outta me!!!

The Weather Channel would be okay if they ever showed the weather.

NOAA is your huckleberry

No schitt. Too many stupid reality shows. Since NBC bought them, all they do is push a liberal agenda on "global warming" and "climate change".

I gave up on TWC a few years ago.

Isn't there an app for that?

This^^^^

Screw TV! Friggin commercials have taken over....long ago...but even worse now!

I may watch a sports event but I damn certain wear out the mute button also!!

It's on Roku!:

Tend to agree, but going by one source can be a dangerous thing, particularly for those at sea. Using a combination of NOAA, weatherunderground, intellicast, buoyweather and maybe a few local ones is how many salty folks play it, FWIW.

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.

By far the best for my needs, and best up to date hd satilite imagery.

Yeah. "Mostly sunny, low 40s with a slight (10%) chance of drizzle. Winds light and variable, gusts to 12-15 NE"

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.

Weather predictions are stupid.

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.

Commercial airlines.

"Ummm... our plane doesn't work today."

"Can I have my money back or a discount?"

"Ummm... no."



Travis

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.

I agree that if you want to know what the weather is going to do, NOAA is your best bet.

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.

You must go outside on a regular basis.

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.



Travis

Kind of what I was thinking.

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

Winner, winner, chicken .......

Seems anytime they can push a record high temp they push the G Warming crap. Record lows, no biggie.

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.
