Stupid weather reporters

Okay, so I am watching the news last night, and, once again, I found myself talking to the TV. This is not an uncommon occurance, due mainly to lead-ins like this:

It's cold tonight, Tom. How long is it going to last?

OKay, it's Michigan, and it's winter. It's going to be cold until spring. It's not even as though it were extremely cold. If it were 20 degrees below zero without the wind, I could understand it. But it's not - it's appropriate to the season.

And, naturally enough, I did the same rant last summer. Only then, they were asking why it was so hot in Nebraska in the middle of August. I know they have to write filler dialogue, but this goes beyond inane.
