They were calling for 4-8 we got 18-20. It's been a funny winter and these weather guys make it more interesting than it should be.
Thats funny! Realize they don't have a job because they are right. They have a job because of their ratings, possibly tied to their forecasting but more likely their ability to get people to watch them (good looking, funny, personality etc).BrotherBart said:Best I ever saw was back in the nineties. I was in St. Louis on business and there was absolutely no snow in the forecast from anybody on the East Coast. Got two feet. I couldn't come home because the airports were closed here.
When I finally got back I turned on my favorite weather guy. You saw nothing but the desk. Then his full face moved inches across the camera lens. He said:
"The good news is, I still have a job."
It was hilarious.

Bitching about weather forecasters and the Postal Service are hallowed traditions. Both do a good job. But I bet that weather men groan about the Postal Service and the Postal employees probably groan about weathermen. :lol:
Something that was funny a few years ago was the local weather guys forecasting a big snow storm. Two weeks out! Every day they said it again and again.
And just like clockwork we got hammered and everybody was surprised.

They are VERY sensitive about that, and often need soft words and hugs if they hear anyone bitching about the PO. I'm serious, they take it personally.
