Was zoning out last night and put on Fox Weather. For years, I’d just zone out with TWC. It’s not bad and better than When Alligators Attack or Ice Road Bandits or whatever series TWC pushes in prime time nowadays. .
God, this area loves Boxing Day storms. Once in my life I want a true White Christmas - I’m talking snow in the air, snow on the ground, active beauty, not the nonsense that “counts.” .
tbh, I think this is a reminder to us that not everyone knows what they’re talking about completely. They’re just making educated guesses with a large margin for error. Not saying anyone is hilariously wrong, but we often neglect the margin for error. .
It’s not bad when you just want weather. It reminds me of TWC from when we were kids. I think people definitely have preconceived notions that Fox Weather is just Fox News. I mean, that’s like thinking the NWS is the same as NPR because the parent is the same. .
Honest question, why does everyone lose their minds with long range models (no matter that they show), when they’re just going to change anyway? It’s a seasonal tradition. .
For what it’s worth, people also like to make predictions (in any arena) so that they can go back later to prove to others that they’re right now and were right then, and smarter than others. (See board, this) .
