Am surprised this post wasn’t poofed and so glad it wasn’t. Weather and climate are different and are now being used interchangeably. We can predict the weather better today than we could even twenty years ago but using satellite imagery and other technology. Hurricanes are discovered as they form and so far in advance that most people have time to evacuate or get out of harm’s way. Snow and ice are another story. Difficult to know for sure the extent or the extreme of the cold or precip. So many times forecasts have called for snow; the roads are treated, the schools are closed, and then nothing.....climate depends on where you live. The weather is constantly changing...here in Texas, we call it seasons.
