My late father-in-law pointed out years ago that the weatherman's "job" was to keep the viewer from changing the channel. Hence the forecast of a metrological armageddon. Some locations, notably UK and California, use a buxom weather presenter showing cleavage (Works for me). Latest wrinkle is to sum the population of all the states the weather system will touch and announce that __ millions could be under threat of an apocalypse. (Big numbers like millions are more impressive than even 2-digit snowfalls.). Nowhere does the weather presenter's job description require accuracy.
