Herb: Weather Jargon Ad Naseum

Below, I have listed weather terminology that to say the least is somewhat generalized.If anyone can match these with actual meaningful, usable information I would be greatful. I am sending a link to Mike Prager, Spokesman-Review weather guesser in hopes that he can cast some light on this matter.

  • Snow Showers
  • A bit of snow
  • Stray flurry
  • Snow much of the time
  • Snow
  • Occasional snow
  • Periods of Snow

More from Herb Huseland/Bay Views here.

Question: Do any weathercaster terms bug you?
