for the last two or so weeks they've been saying "SNOW!!!". it's been cold some days, and northern washington did get some snow and I even had an inch outside my house one day.

we were supposed to get snow on Tuesday/Wednesday morning. I wake up an it's 40 degrees and the ground is dry. it didn't even rain..

I turned on the tv to the local news and they have a giant banner saying "DEEP FREEZE". yet, it was 44 degrees outside.

idiots. :nuts:

the best part is, one of the stations talks about how much better with the weather they are because they have DOUBLE Doopler. not just one, but TWO! yet, they still can't tell us whats going to happen tomorrow with the weather.

sounds like a good job, you fail, yet still get paid. :nuts:

i've always wanted to be a weather guy, mostly for here in Rochester. you can just make things up as you go along. sweet

Is there anywhere that the don't suck...

if ya dont like the weather, wait 15 minutes

not really. spring time maybe....

we normaly get a lot of rain but this winter has been really dry. but the weather dorks still say "looks like we have some high presure and that's going to cause rain...", then it's sunny. not one drop of rain.

the funny thing is, they will show a seven or ten day forcast. TEN days?!? they can't even get tomorrow correct.

and sometimes the little images they show will have snow, rain, sun and clouds. translation, "we have no idea what's going on, tomorrow we will have some weather...."

"we have no idea what's going on, tomorrow we will have some weather...."

Hahaha! So true These guys have no idea what the heck is going on....where was the snow yesterday morning when it was 40 degrees outside?

My favorite is channel 7, that Whoppler dude....they claim to have pin-point neighborhood forcast....Neighborhood? what the heck...two blocks over is a different neighborhood, is the weather going to be different over there?

haha being a roofer i've HAD to pay attention to these guesstamators for years. There's plenty of key words to listen to. When they say "chance" it means they don't have a clue. They use the word "partly" it means they don't have a clue. When they use the word "scattered" it means they don't have a clue.
i used to like the KCMU's weather reports, i remember listening to some drugged out hippie chick on there, you could hear her stretch out to look out the window, then she proclaimed the weather to be "dark", it was around midnight.

You can take the "Seattle" out of the title and you will still be accurate with your statement. Forecasts are getting more and more unreliable, and I don't trust any of them out more than 36 hours, especially this time of year. I think maybe they rely on computer models too much instead of actually using the knowledge they learned in college.

SoCal guessers can't get it within 6 hours... the best they can do is tell you what the weather was.

Earlier this week they had the weather guy on saying how it would rain the rest of the day and clear up tomorrow.

Then they cut to their reporter who was live at the mudslide site... and it was sunny.
