Booze / The Weather National Weather Service Regrets Its Sobriety

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 4:21 PM

Slog tipper Rev. Jesse sends this link to the local National Weather Service at 4 a.m. yesterday:

...AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM..."LOOKS LIKE I PICKED THE WRONG WEEK TO QUIT DRINKING" STEVE MCCROSKEY

PRETTY CHALLENGING NEXT FEW DAYS FOR THE FORECAST OFFICE...

Right now (as of 3:35 p.m.), our friends at the N.W.S. are shouting a winter storm warning:

.A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON FROM THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BRINGING WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOWFALL TO MUCH OF WESTERN WASHINGTON...

* TIMING...LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.

* SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...THE SEATTLE METRO AREA AND THE CENTRAL COAST SHOULD RECEIVE 5 TO 10 INCHES.

Cliff Mass was waffling and invoking Faust this morning and promises an update at 9 p.m.

In any case, come join us over here. Poor Steve McCroskey.

But what about weatherman Stew Martin's predictions? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM0Jynofl…

Don't expect Steve McCroskey at the Stranger's Airplane Glue Sniffing either.

I've recently come to the conclusion that Cliff Mass is pretty much a jackass.

I've come to the conclusion that if we don't wake up to snow that has paralyzed Seattle beyond anything we have seen in the past 100 years our meteorologists should simply be drug out in the streets and shot. They should pay for pushing the hype of this storm. Did you see the Seattle Times headline Tuesday morning?
