Good morning, Will. Many of the species in our area are harmless and beneficial. It’s a shame that their institutional bad reputation is promoted more often by myth than by fact. As always ....

I had garter snakes as pets in my younger days. 

Saw my first butterfly of the year!

Compared to even a decade ago, an increasing share of TV weather has essentially become little more than “fast food” of weather, though there remain exceptions. On many stations, it is no longer substantive (details and time spent discussing weather developments have decreased even as the impact of weather has not). On air expertise is sometimes superficial.

One sees fewer degreed meteorologists involved. Likely, on account of fewer degreed meteorologists being involved, when it comes to discussions of such things a precipitation type issues, one never sees the deployment of even a single sounding chart to illustrate what is going on aloft. Hence, an avoidable public misperception that it is ‘cold enough’ for snow persists even when there is too much warm air aloft.

This is an unfortunate situation. I always advise my friends and co-workers to follow the National Weather Service if they really want a forecast they can rely on. I continue to be impressed by the dedication and expertise possessed by those within the region (ALY, BOX, OKX, and PHI). 

Never rely on weather on air personalities.
