Episode description
We talk with local NWS meteorologist, Jason Hansford, again this week about "Social Media-rologists" aka internet weather forecasters.

Usually showing unrealistic snowfall totals, they make things a lot harder for actual meteorologists and can sometimes do more harm than good. We share our thoughts.
