How's the weather?

Must be part of that same monster weather system that is, at this very moment, laying down 18 inches of snow in Columbus...oh, wait...never mind. I just stopped listening to my local weathermen and actually looked out of the window. Make that a bare inch of snow dusted over the grass, with maybe another inch to come tonight. Is there a combination weather/pet peeve thread somewhere? Because this one really tore it for me. They (the local guys & the NWS various models) were predicting the magnitude of this storm when the system was still over the Pacific Ocean. And it was Big! Big! Big! I know the comments on the weathermen's pages from their fans run along the lines of "well, if you're so much smarter, why don't you predict the weather?". They seem to forget that those of us who lose patience with ongoing incompetence are not being paid six-figure salaries to show up on the nightly news and spout completely inaccurate BS. If you are incapable of predicting the weather accurately, stop doing it. Give people some general information about temperatures, highs and lows, and show the current radar, and let everybody make their own best guess. We could hardly get it any more wrong.

Same thing here in Indy, totally blew it with their predictions. Only job I know where you can be wrong more often than not and never lose your job.

Went online to check the temperature. The current temperature, as in verifiable information. Noticed the header on the page linking to a "Special Weather Statement."

The only Special Weather Statement I want to see this morning is a ****ing apology. >:(

Anything in Red is a hurricane force wind. This is is the same storm that brought snow to Columbus yesterday.
