If you enjoy battling the elements for its own sake then good luck to
you but I've got better things to do.

I'll say this - it's 'interesting' and challenging to forecast snow
but I couldn't agree more with the above - and I thought I was alone
on weather forums. It's nice to find a kindred spirit. I fear,
however, that we are in a very small minority.

I agree that it is interesting to forecast snow as it is any other
kind of weather but rational discussion on this group is considerably
devalued by the obvious bias in favour of it and the sulkiness when it
doesn't happen. Just because one is interested in the weather it
doesn't mean you have to like everything it throws at you just as if
you're a jazz fan (and I certainly am) you don't have to approve of
some self-absorbed herbert shooting up and down the scales on an alto
sax, or some shed-builder of a drummer. You may get funny looks from
the true devotees but I don't always think they have ears.
Newsgroups and forums attract one-eyed fanatics. Compared to some
groups I've visited this one is at least polite, however irritating it
may be at times, and does contain knowledgable individuals.
