They really get right what they do, both the weather forecasting and how to use social media to suit their purpose.
The committee's report, which pointed out that the winter was the third in a row with severe weather, said that better weather forecasting could help warn the country to be more prepared.
Although tornado forecasting has remarkably improved over the last two decades with advanced forecasting techniques, weather satellites, numerical forecast models and Doppler weather radar, there is much about tornado forecasting that still remains a mystery.
To put this complexity in perspective, Edmund Teller once estimated that the costs of building the data and computing infrastructure needed to extend weather forecasting abilities by about two weeks ran well into the trillions of dollars.
FORBES: Why Most Forbes Readers Know More About Global Warming than Most Climate Scientists
The traditional knowledge surrounding Lenjes includes oral literature, performing arts and festivals, in addition to the sailing and navigation techniques and terminology and weather forecasting that are closely associated with sailing, and the skills of wooden boat-building itself.
The Scottish government-owned company will use a forecasting tool provided by the Met Office to better predict weather conditions at Inverness, Stornoway, Wick John O'Groats, Kirkwall and Sumburgh.

He loves making decisions under conditions of uncertainty, a decision process at the core of all weather forecasting.
More recently, IBM has extended the Deep Thunder platform for forecasting local weather conditions in Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Baltimore and Washington D.
But it has inspired other schemes, including a Stanford University study of how protein chains fold in on themselves and a global weather-forecasting model at the Rutherford Appleton Lab in Britain.
The project will use the data to improve radar and weather forecasting technology.
This past week, it began forecasting RealFeel along with other weather variables 25 days into the future.
Although an accidental discovery, the system's other potential career in weather forecasting will also continue to be explored.

He has also come under fire for switching contracts for the Meteorological Department's purchase of a weather forecasting computer.
The rest comes from independent forecasting data sources like AccuWeather and Weather Central.
Anyone that's ever tried to plan an outdoor activity in advance knows that weather forecasting is not an exact science, but the perpetual sky-watchers at NASA may have inadvertently found a way to improve these guesstimations.

One of the government services that most of us take for granted is weather forecasting.
FORBES: Going Off The Fiscal Cliff Could Mean Missing The Next Hurricane Sandy
However, such forecasting is complicated because one of the factors that determine how fires spread is the weather.
Climate-services companies are developing new modeling and observational tools, innovative forecasting products and advanced information dissemination methods designed to master the mechanics of climate and weather.
The country has plans for better satellite communications, broadcasting facilities, weather forecasting and Earth observation missions all of which will have a dual civilian and military role, but none of which need be manned.
Forecasting was the obvious next step, but it required the development of new theories to explain the weather's behaviour, a process that, as Mr Monmonier explains, was not without controversy.
The new early-warning system brings this approach right up to date, by integrating many different climate-forecasting computer models that couple together information about how the atmosphere and the oceans combine to create the weather.
