Al Roker Cannot Believe This Snow Shit Bill de Blasio Is Pulling
Today Show weatherman Al Roker is very angry with Bill de Blasio. At a Thursday morning press conference, the New York City mayor blamed meteorologists for botching their snow forecasts, thereby giving the city grounds to keep public schools open. “Early weather forecasts showed just 3 inches of snow incoming,” he argued. (It’s now at 9.5 inches.) That’s when Al Roker opened his Twitter account:
How dare @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCSchools throw NWS under the school bus. Forecast was on time and on the money

(Many weather forecasts depend on atmospheric measurements supplied by the government’s National Weather Service.)
I knew this am @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCSchools would close schools. Talk about a bad prediction. Long range DiBlasio forecast: 1 term

So now my daughter's NYC public school is being let out early. @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCSchools Is it worth putting kids' safety at risk?

@NYCMayorsOffice says snow was faster/heavier than expected. No, Mr. Mayor. It came as predicted. Don't blame weather for YOUR poor policy

Perhaps Roker’s naked Russian spa adventure with Matt Lauer was insufficiently relaxing?
“It’s a different thing to run a city than to give the weather on TV,” the mayor later told reporters. And: “You have to know what you don’t know in this world, and what we don’t know is how the weather will change.”
