      <![CDATA[I think it is ch. 2 that is hyping its' Viper radar, and I'm not sure if that is just software to better interpret what the doppler radar is showing or what...?<br>
I'm curious where Zaffino learned meterolgy from....?<br>
Is the FMH-1b still used?<br>
Does he ever have to sit down these days and plot a LAWC or Skew-T?

      <![CDATA[Ask Zaffino about the TV news tendency to "play up" potential severe weather even when its not likely to occur. Ask if he's the guy encouraging producers to overhype the weather, or if, as a professional meteorologist who ought to know better, he's the guy suggesting that they downplay it unless it's a sure thing. <br>
<br>
Is he a guy that tells the audience "don't get your hopes up" about snow, or "you kids might get a snow day tomorrow!"?
