Message: [QUOTE="Exit 4, post: 2648360, member: 2268"] TV meteorologist in particular get swept up in the hype. Watching local and national tv news for weather information is one of the few real reasons to tune in these days. No one gets too excited when a weather man down plays a storm. The new producers, the station mgmt get caught up and the pressure is on to hype it up. Plus, our ever growing nanny state practically mandates meteorologist to err on the side of worst case. Finally, if you read any of the weather nerd tweets and websites, they all said this last storm was iffy and would be severely impacted by the dry cold air high pressure system to the north which turns out - ate up a good part of the storm by absorbing the moisture.
