I think people used to look at weather forecasts as a way to prepare,
and now have moved on to using them as an excuse to avoid or cancel
something. On the other hand, some regions are very hard to make good
forecasts in, due to geographic features. Living next to one of the
Great Lakes means that weather can tip one way or another very fast. I
never trust a forecast any more than a day ahead, and even then.......
