I try to evade reading/hearing/watching weather forecasts whenever possible, however I cannot escape them all time. If I do not I am usually annoyed. If you think about it that is not surprising, probabilities are against me.
Usually I have preferences how I would like the weather to be to start with (Currently: A little bit below zero with snowfall from monday to thursday, snowfall stops on friday - to allow grooming - and sunshine with temperatures slightly below zero on the weekend.) and the weather forecast announces something else. Depending on the weather I get I end up with this frustration matrix
| wish | forecast | weather | frustration | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | a | a | no | |
| a | a | b | yes | |
| a | b | a | yes | (unprepared due to unfavorable forecast) |
| a | b | b | yes |
The outcome is even worse than could be expected since the weather forecast itself is biased, announcing "possible snowfall of up to 30cm at 1000m elevation" even if there is just a 10% chance for more than 5cm.
