So meteorologists aren't scientists it appears. They are told to avoid windows I believe, to the point that I was once told in the old BK briefing office (early 80s) that the fog would not lift until 2300z, when a glance out the window showed it had already!

I knew a meteorologist once; he seemed like a good bloke. He denied that they are trained to do rain dances and animal sacrifices, but we pilots know the truth!

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to provide feedback to the actual person who wrote up the TAF!

BoM how about a feedback blog site to get your meteorologists up the ladder of trust?
