As a atmospheric science student graduating this year let me just say I'm very annoyed with NWS at this moment. I got my bedroom all ready to paint tore everything apart etc. Last night NWS was saying 1-3 inches.I wake up to 4 with my TWC app taking about a winter storm warning with 8 -12 inches of heavy wet snow.

NWS *NEEDS* to change how they relay information the public. When you have a CWA in a zone where it could be 1-3 inches and rain or possibly 12 inches of wet snow, you *NEED* to make that apparent and not act like your confident it will be rain and then OUT OF NO WHERE your under a winter storm warning untill 10pm.

I waited to go get pain untill the morning because 1 - 3  turning to rain is NOTHING. Now I would have to fight rush hour traffic in heavy wet snow to go get paint. My room is all ready to go and like and idiot, I took NWS word.

This is why meteorologists look like idiots to the rest of the general public and why many don't take them seriously.

Hell! Okay, rant over.
