Meteorology porn
No, all you Googlers out there, there will not be nekkid pictures of meteorologists in this post. Instead, I'm trying to coin a term. Meteorology porn is my preferred, but I'm cool with meteorological masturbation, too. Either term would apply to the situation we experienced today in Wisconsin. For 48 hours, meteorologists have been in heat over a strong weather system heading this way that they expected to spawn widespread severe weather across the state today. As this afternoon got closer, they seemed to approach climax, and the voyeuristic media was whipped into an apocalyptic frenzy. Unfortunately for both, it was largely much ado about nothing. A few areas got some nasty storms, but this was ultimately no worse than any typical June storm system. The weather forecasting needs an embarrassing term for their behavior on days like today, and I'd be happy to tag them with either of the ones above.
