+1. It rained hard for a little bit. That’s all. Now no one will listen next time.[/quote]

It was fear mongering for clicks! And I fell for it.

Bad weather sells, so they lie and exaggerate for the clicks. [/quote]

They have successfully predicted 13 of the last 4 storms we have had.

Click bait hypemasters.

I look forward to tomorrow’s rationalization for why they botched it so bad. Put together your own bingo card: tricky, challenging, fuel, best we could, appropriate caveats…[/quote]

Meteorology is a very challenging discipline, and the reality is that a generation ago we would just have taken the weather as it came, with very little warning expected. These days, people expect accurate predictions, and the science just isn't there yet. That's just how it is, PP. You can rant and rave all you want, but meteorologists make the best predictions based on the most up-to-date models they have, and governments and schools use those to make decisions far in advance of actual events - they have to - which increases the probability of errors.

You're welcome to take courses in meteorology and do a better job if you think you're so much smarter than everyone else.

DP. Meteorology is just Navier-Stokes on steroids. They don't need to push the most dire of the predictions every damn time. The predictions for this event were well to the west. Why did we have breaking coverage? Don't they have weather coverage in western Virginia? Why is the government dismissing employees and demanding they leave right before the "storm" is predicted to hit the area? Are the best and brightest at work here?[/quote]
