Do you hate your weather man?

Question

Cause in Louisiana this dude brags on his Doppler 3000.

If I ever meet him on the street I really think I'm bad enough to take on him and his Doppler 3000.

Answer 1

Write him a letter and tell him what a dope he is.

Answer 2

My weather man has no clue...and dont you just love how they predict the for cast for a weeks time when they cant even get the next day right??!!!

I prefer to open the curtains in the morning and decide for myself...& I think I am a lot better than the weather man too!!

Answer 3

Not really, but I hope people don't hate me when I become a meteorologist!  

Right now I'm deep into tornado chasing... and I want a DOW... Doppler on Wheels...

Ahhh, daydreaming.

So, no!

Answer 4

yes, coz they are as changeable as weather!so kindly just forgive them.

Answer 5

I know some forecasters just caught up on their gadgets but they are really just toys.    A good forecaster gets a sense of what he is forecasting for and what is important to a community.

I do forecast for various things including sporting events and such and it is necessary to keep in mind what you are forecasting for.   A racing event is dependent on track conditions.     It is also a financial deal as well.

I realize that different customers need different things.  I know I can't be right all of the time,  but I try to taylor my forecasts to their needs.   They know I will be wrong on ocassion but they take that into consideration for my personal service.

So, I agree,  there are good forecasters just as there are good mechanics.   I want to be admired because I cared about what I was doing and that I love forecasting the weather for friends and clients...

Answer 6

The last time I watched the news, PETE GIDDINGS was the weatherman (ABC?). We loved him. He used to wear interesting ties, and he was nice to the viewing audience.

Answer 7

We have this guy out here in Los Angeles named Dallas Raines on Channel 7 KABC. I don't hate him as much as I'm amused by him. He's somewhere in his mid-fifties and he wears so much tan theatrical make-up that we call him "son of paleface." His hair resembles gelled plastic with a large bald spot  in back he tries to hide on high definition TV by always looking straight at the camera.

But his most amusing idiosyncrasy is this ballet-like crouch. When he had prostate cancer surgery awhile back, his first day back on the job he attempted this ballet swoop with the catheter installed...AAAHHH!

Answer 8

i don't watch the weather, i use the internet, and when i'm at work i have a widget on this POS mac. that way i don't have to listen to a weather man

Answer 9

Yeah, my weather guy is a real tool....bad personal experience!

Besides he is always wrong!!! Boy, I wish I could be wrong 50% of the time at my job!  lol   : )

Answer 10

Yea...the weather man over here in MS is the same way. After the storm they had good reason to put in for the new equipment. Like a kid with a new toy that no other kid on the street has, they want to brag a bit.

I find it really funny how when a rain cloud pops up, they go hay wire with the TV weather warning banner they stream across the top of the picture.

Answer 11

No but I often laugh, why bother with five day forcast it is never correct and mother nature does what she pleases.  I prefer to stick my head outside look at the sky feel the temperature  and make my own forcast.

Answer 12

Oh which guy is that? Is it WWL or WDSU in New Orleans. We lost most of our good weathermen before and after Katrina. But I love the doppler.. miss it up here now that I am in Canada.. Can never see what is really going on and they change the forecast on an hourly basis.. geeze. Am from the Northshore, Pearl River.
