I'm convinced our meteorologists have been replaced by hamsters

The only profession where you can be wrong more than 50% of the time and still keep your job.

True.
Woke up this morning and now they say we have a chance of snow the day after tomorrow. I highly doubt it since we will be 50 degrees!1 person likes this

@moffittjc We're supposed to get rain and snow mix tomorrow. Our high will be in the 50's though so I doubt it will stick.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It was supposed to sunny and 70 degrees here today. It rained all day and never got above 50.

NO. Our meteorologists ramble on and on about weather we can expect. Then, the complete opposite happens!

So very true! They'll repeat the same things hour after hour and then when it comes time for that predicted weather it's never what they say it will be.

@kobesbuddy So true! They just spout off whatever seems to make sense.
I trust the european weather models more than any other forecast.

That can be annoying especially if you make extra purchases to prepare.

Meteorologists never know what they're talking about! (Uhm... at 33, I'd think you'd realize that.
)
I just checked... the weather forecast here still shows freezing rain for this weekend and very low temps for the next week.

There was a span of time when the weather channel was pretty spot on with their weather. 
Actually, I find the most accurate weather for my area comes from accuweather.com, still not always spot on though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Accuweather.com is what my phone uses. Usually, it's pretty close.

They seem to be pretty close with the predictions lately but generally I don't pay much attention since they're usually wrong

It's easier to go outside and see what the weather is doing for sure!

@Marilynda1225 That and they sell thermometers we can buy and place outside ourselves.

It's the weather app (weather channel) that I am referring to. I check it once a day and they can't decide whether we will get snow or rain.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh well, I guess we just have to wait and see. Rain is almost here.

@CarolDM So true! I just wish we would get snow. My bones have been chilled too much lately and I just want snow.

Hamsters would do a better job .
Last week they said we would have rain on Tuesday, no Wednesday - and then it barely showered Monday - and then never again 
. I look up the weather forecasts all the time, but realize they are only maybe's

@ScribbledAdNauseum I watch for it on the morning news . . . then at night . . . and maybe 2 sites (I don't bookmark these things - just find whatevers in a search). It's always changing!!

Yeah! It keeps switching what days will do what. I mostly focus on the weather channel app on my phone but even the local weather guys have no idea what's going on.

I'm referring to the weather channel... Years ago we knew when they predicted a severe thunderstorm it was really a tornado and if it was a tornado they predicted then we should expect a severe thunderstorm.

You're right! I can't imagine how difficult it is to predict the weather but they seem to be botching it.

@ScribbledAdNauseum because the weather became so unpredictable, maybe they thought they can get away with it with just relaying something to people

In their defense, the weather is constantly changing; and they are dealing with many models of what the weather will be in a day, two, three or a week later.

True. Honestly I trust the European model predictions than any localized models.

This gave me a great laugh, you're right. It's anybody's guess, or else the weather is on steroids.

Exactly. I usually believe the european models for North American weather, they seem to be more spot on.

I usually go by the weather outside at the moment and ignore what the meteorologist say too.
