When you keep going on about 'it's not just us'....I don't care...I am here and I am talking about ROC. . What I am awfully intrigued about is your insistence on trying to tell someone that their opinion is wrong. My idea of crap is not the same as your idea of crap...who cares.

Most don't like 90s and humid which is why snowbirds come North and rent is cheaper in FL over the summer. People would be bitching if it was like that here because they don't want that crap stifling heat. <br /><br />You act like western NY has had its own weather this june. It's been raining in a lot of places this summer. Carolinas are way above normal and way above us right now. That is a fact but I guess facts don't matter to you. Just watch the National news a see how many places are way worse off than us. <br /><br />The east is getting soaked this weekend and that sucks. The low that will soak us and many others this weekend is a once in 10 year system for June. Again it's not just us. <br /><br />Seattle is exceptionally dry as has been much of the West. But if you prefer that then move to Seattle and enjoy the rain next year, and everyday thereafter for the rest of your life there. <br /><br />If you actually bothered to notice, this week has been very nice. <br /><br />I don't mind complaints about the weather, but its really dumb to talk as if NYS is the only place it been a rough June.

What is your problem exactly? that you have to take everything I say personally like I am offending you because I don't like ROC weather? very odd...Anyone you ask would agree that this weather has been crap lately. We went through the most miserable long winter so I am sorry if I am itching for some Vitamin D! ROC has more cloud coverage than Seattle..As far as Florida...in South Florida it does rain, but the rain is not lingering for the most part. They have downpours then it basically stops and the sun is out within minutes. To act like Florida, or NC is comparable to ROC with crap weather is ridiculous. Why do you think people move out of the northeast? To avoid the crap weather and of course NYS but that is a whole other discussion.DJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981695413965917043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-38421453257999953442015-06-26T09:00:04.715-04:002015-06-26T09:00:04.715-04:00Yes, my main issue are the multiple forecasts with...Yes, my main issue are the multiple forecasts within one site.

At least that's what I've heard, which would explain the disparity between forecasts. And there's nothing wrong with covering every *realistic* possibility, that's actually what all of the best forecasters do. The ones who make premature definitive calls will frequently bust and draw public ire. Most of those types are relegated to running their own private businesses for a good reason...no respectable agency will hire them. The goal is reliability, not pinpoint accuracy, which is why you hear phrases like "still early" and "not set in stone" when a forecast beyond 3 days or so is referenced. The 7-day is meant to give you a general picture and make you aware of realistic possibilities, so that you aren't caught with your thumb up your ass when things deteriorate. Remember the days when hundreds of people would die in landfalling major hurricanes? There are reasons those days are long gone (Katrina being a rare and obvious exception), one of which is the advent of extended forecasts. We don't get hurricanes up here, but we do get bad snowstorms. Imagine coming home from work one evening to view your turbo accurate 1-day forecast, only to find out that a severe blizzard is on the way and you have exactly 8 hours to prepare. Now you have to go buy emergency supplies while fighting through thousands of other people who are also scrambling to do the exact same thing. What if you have family coming up to visit but they don't know about the storm, because they were traveling when it first came to light? Now they're going to get stuck and you'll spend your time worrying about their safety. What if you have an important business meeting to attend but your flight there has been cancelled due to weather? Good luck switching flights anytime soon with hordes of others scrambling to do the same, since they all just found out about the storm as well. Gridlock city all over the place, chaos ensues, roadways get clogged with stranded motorists, everyone starts hating their life and wishing there was some way to know about these storms with more lead time so a contingency plan can happen. Enter...the extended forecast. They exist because people want them.Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-73757114295483777652015-06-25T13:14:50.886-04:002015-06-25T13:14:50.886-04:00DJD is just a complainer.
