Provided local insight based on his twenty to thirty years of doing his job
in one of many unique "micro-climates" of being downwind of the US Great
Lakes, which is a lot more experience than I have reading current conditions
and prognostics.

Perhaps you are an educated and skilled meteorologist in addition to being a
successful real estate mogul and newsgroup star, but in my case I know I
would feel more confident talking to a briefer familiar with local Colorado
Rocky Mountain-induced weather more so than a briefer in (Florida, Ohio,
Maine, or anywhere else but there) who can only read the text from the
current and forecast conditions.
