Only a few days ago when Ida came ashore, you projected a reversal loop over Florida like a carpetbagger going south. What happened to your computer models? As a person imbued with an organic understanding of atmospheric dynamics, I was not surprised by Ida's neo-Gaston (2004) behavior. Check you archives--your station did a 5-year retro on August 31, 2009. What is the relationship between the non-donut shape of Ida to the unprojected elevated rainfall? I know. How does the organic properties of CO2 account for the "developing low pressure" at the boundary of the visual/non-visual cyclonic system? I know.

Among the lapses of meteorologists is the abuse of "Nor'Eastern." On more than one occasion, NBC's Joker Roker has mis-labeled storms. A storm in the Northeast is not necessarily a Nor'Eastern. This morning, one of your WTVR-6 colleagues referred to this mid-Atlantic post-tropical CCW system as a Nor'Eastern. Duh!

To refocus Marshall McLuhan's "the medium is the message" you all are entertaining us to death rather than educating us to live.

You have not investigated my offer to help promote a needed public understanding of how CO2's global warming is secondary to its global drought/deluge. WTVR's Storm Team 6 is my poster kid case study for what is wrong with meteorologists in general and broadcast weather echos in specific. Like the military officials who ignored the signs of Maj. Hasan, you are guilty of not doing your job to investigate issues that immensely impact your viewers. It's not global warming. It's global dying. An un-informed public will suffer more as the needed information is delayed.

LOL. Ciao!
