But WHY Scott? Why weathermen?
But why, Scott?, I hear you asking, Why do you care about whether or not the weathermen give wrong predictions? The question isn't why I care...it's why you don't.
From Wikipedia:
Weather warnings are important forecasts because they are used to protect life and property. Forecasts based on temperature and precipitation are important to agriculture, and therefore to traders within commodity markets. Temperature forecasts are used by utility companies to estimate demand over coming days. On an everyday basis, people use weather forecasts to determine what to wear on a given day. Since outdoor activities are severely curtailed by heavy rain, snow and the wind chill, forecasts can be used to plan activities around these events, and to plan ahead and survive them.
I believe in these reasons. I just have an extra layer of disgust with shitty work ethics on top of all of those other, much easier to swallow reasons. And weathermen? They don't care about us. They just like collecting the easiest check in show business.
