Are TV Weather People amongst the biggest IDIOTS in the world today???

Question

1) 'Someone just farted in Africa...this passing of gas could develop into a tropical system. EVERYONE PANIC!!!!'

2) Tropical Storm SoleilMoonFrye is on a track that will take it into the Northern Atlantic....no threat to land...keep in mind that we don't know what we are talking about and this forecast could change.'

3) Category 23 Hurricane SoleilMoonFrye is HEADED RIGHT AT US!!!! EVERYONE PANIC!!!! Keep in mind that we don't know what we are talking about and this forecast could change.

4) Oh sorry about that....it appears the Hurriance is headed for Texas...whew...at least it is not us. No need to crap your pants at this point.

The fact that I can't forecast the weather should not excuse the fact that meteorologists can't either. They don't know where a hurricane is going to go 5 days out yet they still post projected tracks and then just conveniently change them day after day....they should just use 'the cone of error' with no projected track until they are actually fairly certain, which is the last minute if ever.

Answer 1

Yes, they are fools. That Punky Brewster hurricane can get us soon, and they are trying to create masteria!

Answer 2

My absolute favorite thing that the Weather Forecasters say where I live is this:

Heavy snow warnings are in effect for the following counties (and they name every blasted county from here to kingdom come). Blizzard like winds with zero visibility, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Now understand that EVERYONE and I do mean EVERYONE rushs out to the supermarkets and stocks up on everything.

Suddenly, the next weather forecast that you hear is:

Well folks, it looks like we dodged another bullet here. The wind has come out of the South and blown the storm due East and we won't see anything but scattered flurries!

My opinion is this: the supermarkets and the weather forecasters get together and SCREAM snow, snow and more snow (gloom & doom), everyone runs to the supermarkets and buys out everything, and then the supermarkets and the weather forecasters all split the take. Sounds about right, don't you think?

Have a lovely rest of the evening.

Answer 3

Yes, they probably do score pretty low on the S.A.T. scale, but dumber still are the women who are the side kick assistants for Ron Popiel and his wonderful life saving products. Have you ever seen that old red-haired hag on the Ronco Rotisserie infomercial? "Just set it and forget it!" She is absolutely flabbergasted at every word that scar-faced old man says. Same thing for cookware bimbos. They are smiling dildoes. No brains whatsoever and just completely orgasmic over the newest feature. Theeeeeeeeeeeennnn when they offer the 2 for 1 deal, which they always do, they just kneel down and worship the guy out of gratitude.

I think they are dumber than the weather people, and yes....that's pretty dumb!

Answer 4

They are ALWAYS so wrong.
We are in the hottest heat wave/drought EVER in recorded history, and they keep saying, "Roll the car windows up tonight folks, there may be some showers!" Well, the ground is like cement and there's no rain so far. I keep hoping they'll say "Dryer conditions in store" then we might get a nice thunderstorm.
I swear they are just guessing and really don't know.

Answer 5

Watch Tom Skilling on WGN-TV (channel 9) at ~9:25pm Central. You'll learn something relavent.

I think most people you see on TV are tools...they are trained readers and are as dumbed down as an individual as much as the rest of society already is as a collective.

Some people do know what they're doing though and do it well. I wish there were more of them.

Answer 6

Maybe they should wait until it is 2 minutes from your front door and see how you feel then. I guarantee you won't. That's the average warning we get in our area for tornadoes.

Answer 7

I would like to see you put together an accurate forecast. it's not as easy as you think.

Answer 8

I just use my magic 8 ball.
