This past weekend, I received a question from a reader who wondered why meteorologists seem to have a hard time deciding on a forecast, particularly in the winter. Last Friday’s non-event is a good example of what he meant. First, the predictions were for freezing rain, then maybe rain and sleet, then maybe just rain, then some wintry mix… The combinations were slightly different depending on the meteorologist and the forecast you were reading or watching and what time you saw them.
