I agree.
I went to school just off US 30 and drove it many times, even in the snow.
Nearby is the field the 9/11 heroes died.
No thank you, we get our own snow in Michigan......
NOAA “fore”casts are actually aftercasts. We - 20 miles from the NY/PA/NJ state lines - were supposed to get about an inch. After about 5” were on the ground, NOAA upped it to 3-5”.
If NOAA would quit focusing on global warming and spend more actual time and science on forecasting, it would be a good thing.
There was plenty of information about this one, well in advance.
What the hell were they doing out there?
I recently heard an interview with a Ms. Linda Gottfredson. An expert on genetics and intelligence from the University of Delaware and co-director of the Delaware-Johns Hopkins Project for the Study of Intelligence and Society.
She said something very striking to me.
12% of the general population, when you ask them to read a paragraph and identify a particular piece of information in the paragraph, can not do it.
When you raise that to "find these two pieces of information"--a full 25% of people can NOT do it.
There's your answer. Well, the root cause any way.
