Meteorologists can eat my nuts. They have one of the most illegitimately glorified, justified, or essentialized jobs that there are. I just want to know what i can expect as far as the weather goes today so i can plan some things. My weather app is useless because its telling me today is Monday AND Tuesday - yeah, for real. Weatherchannel says thunderstorms (vaguely). So if i look outside it should be doing that? Its not. So i try to check the radar and make my own decision, using the weather in motion feature. The map starts loading and directs me to one that is far more confined, useless, and not in motion. Want to see the Northeast? How about Indiana and 8 surrounding communities? Lets try a stationary map, weatherchannel. Thats the crayon level equivalent of what i am asking of you... Response: cloud temperature maps and visible radar (i.e. cloud coverage radar). I cant begin to explain to you how exceedingly useless the temperature of a cloud is. Independant of barometric pressure and humidity, it is a useless factoid. Make no mistake, there are several kinds of evil in this world that are most pernicious. Very close to the top of the list is the weatherman. We assign them with such a simple job and they work in 20 directions to give you a garbage version of something you didnt ask for. Forget the idea of trying to prognosticate, which is a scientific and philosophical absurdity. It should be law that before any weatherman is allowed to utter any thing regarding the weather, he should make the disclamer: Im i douche, statistically you have a much better chance of beating the house while gambling than you do in being successful in relying upon my sophistry.
