News Babe: [To hot Weather Guy]: Another possible storm, Weather Guy?
hot Weather Guy: Could be. More coming right up.
[ boring 3-minute commercial] News Babe: And what about our White Christmas?
hot Weather Guy: Could be. This could be BIG . More tonight. Thanks for watching our commercials. Watch us tonight.
What a crock. These people need to grow up and be more responsible. If something's there -- then report it. But I really don't need to hear "Wolf" yelled each time a cloud shows up in the sky! |
I agree, the weather reports have been going downhill for several years. It is all about the ratings.
I watched the 10PM news on FOX last night. The weather guy Kevin Lemanowitz did a pretty good job explaining the differences between the weather models, and how a couple show a storm hitting us, and a couple show a storm going out to sea. The fact is that the weather guys have no idea 3+ days away what is going to happen. That is not their fault. What is their fault is when they say unequivicably that we are getting a storm 3+ days prior to the event.
Again, I have my fingers crossed for a storm hitting us, but if it does, I really hope it waits until later Christmas night. Lots of us have driving to do that day.
