I will happily confess that I know nothing about actual weather forecasting.
Years ago I used to get all worked up whenever a big snowstorm was forecast. Sometimes the forecast came true, sometimes it didn't. Now that I am older and wiser (mostly older) I just look out the window and say, Yup it's snowing and we will get what we get.
