Message: Quit beating it! Drop the egos. I know MSU People that are super accurate and know what they are talking about. I know Degreed mets that are super accurate and know what they are taling about. Like waco says, you have to build trust with the viewer and that is not done with a busted forecast. Most weather professionals complain about the NWS, and they meet all the critera to work for the government. In a tornado, I will trust myself with the person with the best track record, not the person with the highest level of education. Effective communication of severe weather saves lives, not a piece of paper... unless they make met degrees out of kevlar these days. GEEK, OUT
