He’s not wrong the “weather people “ on TV are utter shit and dumb down the forecast for the lowest common denominator so they can squeeze in more ad time. Weather apps are also shit and sadly too many people rely on an icon on their phone to plan for what could be life threatening storms. I appreciate the rationale behind his forecasting.

I mean, what do you want them to do? That's like getting mad that the evening news doesn't delve in to advanced statistics when they're giving a recap of last night's game.

Most people don't care about the reasoning, they just want to know how much snow they might get. The in-depth details are out there for those who want them, that's not what a weather report on the news is for.
