Before the first snow fell, U.S. meteorologists realized there was a good chance the late-winter storm wasn’t going to produce giant snow totals in big Northeast cities as predicted.
But they didn’t change their forecasts because they said they didn’t want to confuse the public.
National Weather Service meteorologists in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington held a conference call Monday afternoon about computer models that dramatically cut predicted snow amounts. They decided to keep the super snowy warnings.
Who the fuck do they think they are.....politicians?

LoL if it bumps their ratings and they thought they could get away with it, they'd say it's a biblical plague of fire

Time to take a chainsaw to the NWS budget, along with all the other bloated liberal govt bureaucracies.
