Watch WTHR or something...they missed the forecast, also! <BR/><BR/>TV 18 does one heck of a job! The weather team has never let me down. The entire team does their darndest to keep us, the public, apprised of changing weather conditions. I can only imagine how all of them across the country have torn their hair out by the roots over this system!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, Mike and team, most of us really, really, appreciate your expertise!<BR/><BR/>Mary Anne in Remington!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-45274907890437970692007-12-15T19:46:00.000-05:002007-12-15T19:46:00.000-05:00Some of these posters sound like spoiled children ...Some of these posters sound like spoiled children throwing a temper tantum after being told there's no dessert! Anyone who's panicking over a SNOW forecast needs to get some perspective! <BR/><BR/>I suppose the last anonymous predicts the weather with his arthritic pains and finger in the air, getting it right every single time!<BR/><BR/>Some of you naysayers would have traded Ted Williams because he "failed" 60% of the time! <BR/><BR/>Let's remember that Mike called the Blizzard of Feb '07 DEAD ON! Mike will be as right about this storm as anyone can be, given the circumstances of changing weather. If you guys want perfection in meteorology, move to Hawaii! Will the hi be 82 or 83?<BR/><BR/>Bottom line? It'll be a little tough to travel in the morning. The bitter anger over the EXACT amounts is comical people!

How can one be expected to give 100% accurate forcasts, well in advance, and not be wrong occasionally? <BR/><BR/>I agree, I would much rather be prepared for nothing, than not prepared for a big storm, and have no food, no medicine and no clue.<BR/><BR/>Well done Mike.

It does nothing to show you the massive amount of water vapor that is in the atmophere over the Midwest. When conditions are right, this vapor will condense, form snow, and fill your driveway. Perhaps you can dig through all of the forecast models, infared, radar, visible imagery and then present your forecast on the local ABC affiliate. (heh)<BR/><BR/>Mike: Thank you. I would rather have a sane but imperfect (due to Mother Nature's whim) forecast that keeps me home than have the kids stuck at the sitter for three days.

Time and time again Prangley gets the forecast wrong, but for some reason still has a job. If anyone else was as wrong as he is at the rate he is at their own jobs they would be at the unemployment office. Another panic-driven forecast that forced schools to cancel athletic events and others to cancel their own plans. <BR/><BR/>Way to go Mike.

They don't control the weather, they just do their best to predict it. All the weather centers are/were predicting a big snow of between 8-12 inches. I only saw a few who weren't and it was still 6-8 inches. They tell you so early because they want to give you a chance to prepare for the worst case scenario, not to rev you up. And who knows this storm could change again and we could still get hit with a huge snow, there is no way to know for sure, they just tell you what is probable based on what the models are showing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-81301119212703384352007-12-15T17:12:00.000-05:002007-12-15T17:12:00.000-05:00Actually earlier...the weather channel said one to...Actually earlier...the weather channel said one to three, 6 to 10 tonight...one to three tomarrow.
