Eastern Shore Weatherman Need Not Apply

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will post job ads once again, thanks to new money in the 2014 spending bill. It lifts a hiring freeze that had been in place since March. The agency had suspended hiring and staff development under sequestration. The National Weather Service Employees Organization has accused the agency of taking unnecessary risks by leaving field positions open. The union says the Weather Service has about 450 vacancies.

I'm sure they would be very impressed by the local weathermen from our 2 TV stations. Then we could hear more of "triple track dopler", "as you go through YOUR day tomorrow, your Wednesday,your Thursday, etc", and don't forget to name all of the "weather watchers" in every small town on the shore. We really don't care what Bill in Eqypt's temp is today...just give us the weather without all those simple minded trappings! Be more professional and straight forward and perhaps you'll get a chance someday!

the people you see on tv are not meterologists, they are media specialists who concentrate on whether. Not a science bone in them.

I vote for that Delmar Weather guy on FB. He's really good at explaining the weather and his predictions.
