Not to mention the big freeze predicted for this am.
Not one self-respecting meteorologist forecast a freeze for Baton Rouge this morning. In reality, the NWS fricking NAILED the freeze line two days in advance. It was very impressive.

You forgot the word exact, dumbass. It kind of makes a big difference.

this is such an old and tired saying. Do you realize how often weather projections are actually wrong?
Or do you only remember when they're wrong?

Technically nothing is exact in science so that's somewhat meaningless is it not?

I'll bite though. How often are their projections wrong?

I dont know either. I just laugh at people who use that tired arse saying when the weather has gone as predicted for 3 weeks straight prior to a day they get it wrong.

I'm pretty sure they're right almost all of the time. And by "right" I mean, 24 hours in advance they get within a couple degrees of high/low temps and within a few percentage points of rain coverage.
The problem with winter precip forecasts is their complexity with timing and above/below freezing layers. Their forecasts are only as good as the data put into the models and the models themselves.
I also think people should pay much less attention to the local news stations and much more attention to their local NOAA NWS site. Read their forecast discussions. They talk about all the differences between models, reasonings for going with a certain forecast, and other possibilities if certain events don't pan out.

You think Peej would still have a job if he continually sent out the wrong scaffolding as many times as he gets the weather wrong?

Does it say exact anywhere in there? But great job I guess.

nowhere in your definition is the word exact used.

Those women are not meteorologist. They just read what's on the telepromter
Posted on 2/24/15 at 8:28 am to gaetti15
It's the definition of exact science. Try reading some time. It helps with not looking stupid.

The newscasters should be arrested and the pooch taken to a new home, and probably counseling
