3. Every one complains about the supposed inaccuracy of forecasting.

I think that most people are poorly informed about the gargantuan amount of work that is needed to create the forecasts.

It looks like the Weather Service is evaluating their level of accuracy.

Our local office of the National Weather Service has a Facebook page which they have been using to communicate with the public when it looks like we're going to have snow or freezing rain. They even do live discussions, usually with a local television station.

I love these folks and have a huge appreciation for their work.

Thank you for posting the link.
