As any responsible Governor would, Cuomo has been front & center during the past week's snow event in WNY... He's participated in a number of press conferences with local leaders (although flying b/w Buffalo & Albany – NOT staying here "shoveling" as some would lead to believe).

This recent campaign against the Weather Service and new Agency setup is quite suspect under the circumstances; forecasts weren't that far off, precise squall total are unpredictable and many of his claims are outright untrue. Simply put, it smacks of another power play by Il Douche in the State, this time towards the GW/Environmental crowd.

Cool.

Let the city of Buffalo pay for!

[Parley Baer]

I was wondering it this was satire. I guess not.

I LOVE THIS. This is EXACTLY what the states should be doing: competing with the Federal government. New York might actually be able to predict snowfall better than Fedgov someday. I hope so. All the states should have their own weather centers, and stop depending on Fedgov for everything.

I’d love to see a day when we return to being “these united States” instead of “The United States” (i.e., the unitary superstate we have been since the tragic end of the War of Northern Agression).

[The Great RJ]

A State funded weather service based on global warming hysteria. I’m sure they will be predicting balmy temps due to global warming as the state is freezing in a polar vortex.

[Graybeard58]

OH YEAH BUT WILL NEW YORK’S BE IN ALL CAPS?

[4buttons]

a goofball-addicted Kennedy cuckolded this fool.

[McGruff]

Campaigning for President 2016 already?

[randita]

Maybe Cuomo can have The One issue an EO that requires all weather services to predict the weather accurately.

[Rusty0604]

Being a weather forecaster can be dangerous with a socialist in control. I remember reading about one put in prison in South America for forecasting rain and causing panic and it didn’t rain, and then there’s Italy that charged their experts for not detecting an earthquake.

[G Larry]

Hey Guv!

The snow and the melt come irrespective of who is reporting it!

[FlingWingFlyer]

The weather guys, who can’t even get tomorrow’s weather right, are too wrapped around the axle pimping “global warming” these days. Cuomo needs to get himself an “Indian weather rock” for New Yawk’s weather. They work every time and are never wrong.

[Flavious_Maximus]

So typical. They cannot predict the weather one day ahead of time, yet they tell us with absolute certainty that in 10 years the ice caps will melt and we will have an increase in ocean levels, global temperatures, etc, etc.

The Michael Manns of the world are liars, all of them, nothing but stinking liars.

[factoryrat]

Doesn’t matter. New York and all of its inhabitants will be long gone when the next ice age comes along, and scrapes all of their existence off the face of the earth with a mile high bulldozer of glacial ice.

It has happened before, and we’re past due for the next one.

[lowbridge]

“Cuomo indicated that’s a big reason why New York is building its own weather forecasting system”

Another big reason is that cuomo has friends in the weather forecasting business to whom he wishes to give taxpayer money.

“that he states will be superior to any other state system in the country”

New York State government hasnt built anything that was superior to anything else in the country. The only thing new york has that is superior in the country is our pizza. And government has nothing to do with that.

[Slyfox]

Now the people of New York can blame the governor when the weather gets bad - as he is tap dancing with Mother Nature.

[Minsc]

If he had followed Joe Bastardi at Weathebell Analytics he’d know how full of feces he is.

[Kickass Conservative]

If he just gave Karl Rove a call, I’m sure Karl would have let him borrow the Katrina Weather Machine.

[BerryDingle]

Rudy Giuliani walked the whole country through 911. Cuomo can’t even hold a press conference without sounding like he’s on drugs as a governor, blaming the weather on someone.
