Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants New York to create the nations best weather monitoring system, one more robust than even the National Weather Service and more capable of predicting events like the snowstorm that buried parts of the Buffalo area under 7 feet of snow.
But although Cuomos $18.7 million initiative will help the state respond to events like floods or wildfires, its unlikely to live up to his grander expectations, meteorologists say.
To accurately predict lake-effect snowfall in western New York, the state would need weather satellites and a supercomputer to handle complicated weather modeling, plus monitoring stations in the Midwest and Canada, said Christopher Vaccaro of the National Weather Service. [ ]
Cuomo picked a fight with the weather service following the storm in Buffalo, saying the federal agency failed to predict its intensity and timing. His comments prompted meteorologists Al Roker and Jim Cantore to defend the accuracy and precision of the weather services forecasts.

This is all about money. Weather’s got nothing to do with it.
Oh yes, another government run boondoggle jobs program funded by taxpayers.

But yet, would Accuweather et all pay for the collection of the data?
Meanwhile, for Cuomo, may I suggestion that the state of NY contract with WeatherBELL?
What exactly is his beef? Buffalo was warned that a massive historic storm was on the way. It sounds like they got more snow than expected, but they still predicted a major weather event. What more does Cuomo expect in terms of predictions and emergency response and all that??? This storm was one for the record books. And he’s angry they didn’t predict the amount of snow which ended up on the ground???
So experts agree that they can’t predict current weather but they also state that they can predict weather trends decades from now ala Global Warming?
Yes.
Little men with lots of money think they can buy anything and that makes them a big man. Politicians love to buy everything, because the more money that flows through their hands, the more that ends up in their pockets.
Combine a politician with a little man and you reap poverty and opression.
Give Cuomo a popsicle where the sun don`t shine.
The closer you are to the event the more accurate your prediction is. When you are real close, it’s not a prediction any more, but a description of what’s happening.
Weather forecasting is pretty good, but can’t give this wacko the certainty that he wants.
Gosh, you mean like everything else this little dickweed says and does? I’m shocked!!
With the alleged fall of communism (actually, they just swapped their uniforms for blue suits, tucked their pistols into their waistbands and changed their names and darned if one didnt move into the White House!), the Globull Elite needed a new BOOGEYMAN with which to frighten and control the dumb masses (say it fast for maximum effect)in order to herd the dumb masses into their utopian One World corral: THE ECOLOGY and MAN CAUSED GLOBULL WARMING GOT THE NOD!
Oh yeah, I forgot the cool part about picking the pockets of the wealthier nations to enrich some of these global elitists and their leading drum major, Algore, while bleeding the nasty old United States white. (PAGING ALGORE PAGING ALGORE
log into your dozen bank accounts ASAP. They are WAAAYYYY over the FDIC insurance limit! Username reminder: FREAKING_PHONEY/Password reminder: Village_idiot)
The elitists ultimate goal in this man-caused GLOBULL WARMING HYSTERIA is to level the nasty old U.S. with the Turd World despotisms with which we are to be merged into their New World Odor (misspelling intentional) where TADA (trumpet fanfare here!), the GLOBULL ELITES will BE IN CHARGE.
And to reinforce the point, old Algore ripping a page from the Joe Biden Foot in Mouth playbook or, in the alternative, displaying a level of brazenness reflective of the ignorance and apathy among the elitists soon to be serfs/slaves (thatd be the rest of us) recently offered that Cap and Trade would be the final step in destroying any remaining American sovereignty and haul us once and for all into his longed for global governance.
TWO VIDEOS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT (until Algore gets them pulled):
This one is about the 30,000 climate scientists who want to SUE GORE for FRAUD and runs about 5 minutes:

THIS video is the blockbuster film The Great Global Warming Swindle and runs 1 hour, 45 minutes (get comfortable, grab a stiff libation and prepare to become progressively more angry. Suggest you remove all throwable items from the area.)

If youre happy and you know it CLANK YOUR CHAINS
Questions??
Lake effect snow can somewhat be predicted, but where it goes depends on the strength and direction of the winds. Could be a conduit 10 miles wide and 100 miles long, or it could stay stationary over a city and keep dumping snow on it. Cumo would be better off buying giant wind machines facing the great white north.
Let’s lock them up like Nakoul Bassely Nakoula.
Thanks Olog-hai.
