It's amazing, the weather folks on TV can forecast what it's going to do tomorrow, just seconds after they explain why they missed today's forecast entirely.
And we believe them.
I saw a show on a science channel explaining it all. The atmosphere itself is categorized as "non-linear chaos" in scientific terms. Yet humans go on TV and try to predict it.
It's easy if a big storm is coming. Here it comes. We have pictures on the radar of it. No, I wouldn't want to be a weatherman in the long run.
The guy on the local channel here took it a step too far, I think. He made a big deal out of trying to predict the weather for the WINTER here. In late November, if I remeber correctly, he made his "projection" ( a projection is even farther out than a "prediction") He clearly did lots of research, the history of the jet stream and a cold winter followed by a warmer one, etc. And he predicted a very low snow season here, and warmer than usual.
Not so. Why do humans even bother to predict he weather farther than tomorrow?
George Carlin did it best, a loose quote: "Tonight, dark. Continued darkness until the morning, when there will be scattered daylight" or something like that.
