Fine meteorologists when they are found to have made wildly inaccurate predictions.

Created by S.B. on March 10, 2013

When meteorologists make wildly inaccurate predictions, particularly in predicting the amount of snow accumulation, it costs States and Municipalities hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars in wasted resources, such as salt and man hours of work in preparation for weather that never arrives. When meteorologists predict the weather with little to no accuracy or give predictions too vague to be useful within 48 hours of the predicted weather event, they should be fined in the total amount of wasted money that the State and Municipalities in their broadcast sphere spent in preparing for weather that never occurs.
