It bugs me when TV weathermen say things like, "We'll try to keep the snow away on Wednesday." Or, "We kept the rain away, and now we'll see about getting those temperatures up for tomorrow." Nature isn't in control, they are! The mighty meteorologist is standing guard!
It also bugs me when they talk about a front "working its way" instead of moving. "This big cold, wet system is working its way over Utah now, heading in our direction." It may be moving, sliding, meandering, but it's not working.
Oh, but now I understand: fronts and systems have to work their way because they have to fight against the defenses erected by the TV weathermen. All that stands between us and inclement weather is the Might of the Meteoroligist!

...and don't you just hate it when the weather is naughty, and doesn't listen to the meteorologists?
...why, the sun was SUPPOSED to come out,but hid behind clouds instead...
...we didn't predict rain, but boy did it come... naughty rain...
They're never wrong, though. Not the locals, anyway.
Like when they were predicting a terrible snowstorm for the city a few days ago. When nothing happened, they pointed to a few areas where some snow had fallen and talked endlessly about that. They couldn't just say, "Oops! We goofed." No matter what happens, they're always right. It's the Dubya approach to weather forecasting.
