Hey Weather People, Keep Your Opinions to Yourselves

Weather people, or pardon me, meteorologists, need to learn how to shut their mouths.  I don’t turn on the news each morning to see them prancing around trying to act cute, while they tell us how great or how bad the weather is going to be that day.  No, all I want to know is approximately what the temperature is going to be like and whether or not I should bring an umbrella with me.  That’s it.  Maybe some fog and some cold isn’t a bad thing for everyone.  Maybe, just maybe, the fact that it’s going to be sunny and hot tomorrow, isn’t something that makes me particularly happy.  Have they ever stopped and thought about that?  Or is this something that is required of them, something that is listed in their job description:  “If the weather is hot and sunny, this makes you happy.  Yay, everyone will have a great day today.  If the weather is cold, oh no, it’s not going to be a good day.  Lets give the audience hope that tomorrow will be sunny, and therefore better.” 
I would actually overlook all of their annoying and pointless behavior if they just gave us a nonbiased, black and white reading of the weather.  But they just can’t do it.  It’s almost like an addiction; they just have to slip their opinions into the forecast.  It gets on my nerves, and frankly, it makes me want to rip my hair out.  Just the fact that it never fails, no matter where you are, what channel you’re watching, the weather person will always incorporate a generalized opinion about the weather.  Just watch and you’ll see.  At least they’re consistent.  They consistently annoy me every morning.  I don’t know why this gets me so worked up.  It really may just be the fact that I’m not a morning person and everything anyone does in the morning pisses me off.
