Why Weathermen Should Blog

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 by Jason Gergely
Ok... So have you ever wondered why the weatherman always seems to be more often wrong than right in he predictions?

Well of course unless there is already snow on the ground, they will say something like "Looks like more snow is on the way!" and no matter if the snow comes or not, it is going to make your day that much more difficult (unless you are below the age of 15).

Well I'm going to say that weathermen should blog. The reason I say this is because I would LOVE to subscribe to a blog where there are explanations (in Layman's Terms, of course) of why the weatherman predicted what he did in the morning weather that I watch as I get ready for my day.

It doesn't matter if he is right or wrong, but it would provide the viewer with a more in touch, humanized feeling when they see the weather, read the blog post and get on with their day.

The weatherman could explain the big red "H" or the blue "L" or that line with the pointy triangles sticking out of it on the screen, that chases away the green and yellow blob.

If any weather station started up a weblog, advertised it on their weather segment, and put it clearly labeled on their website, I think they would have more subscribers and more unique traffic visits than some business sites.

So weathermen of the world... after you are done explaining to me if I should be wearing a coat or shorts, go hop on your computer, do a little research with Compendium, and start blogging!
