Default not just the weather

Noticed how far off things have also gotten with the temperature?
A lot of people myself included had a total waste of weekend last weekend.
Right up until we left Thursday the highs up in north country were only suppose to top out in the mid to high 30’s with temps dropping down again at night. We were up in northern Maine and from Friday mid day on thru Sunday the temps never dropped below 38 with daytime highs in the 40’s.
I notice the local forecaster hasn’t said much. I got slammed for slamming his predictions which to date have been right there with the TV predictions of about 80% wrong.
The forecast for Friday started off as a possible big storm then went to nothing and since then they THINK a band of snow will set up somewhere and give somebody over 6” of snow. Predictions for this band range from New York to Maine.
No I cannot do a better job, but, when someone asks me a question that I do not know the answer to I do not pretend to know or even guess.
Why don’t they just say we don’t know and leave it at that? Then at least we are not making plans gassing up our trucks, putting on our plows and sanders and gearing up for nothing. The same with rain in the summer. How frustrating is it to have a day planed around afternoon rain and have it start pouring by 10am like it did more than once this summer.
