Meteorologist get a bad rap IMHO. They do save lives especially in areas where tornadoes are common. So many variables and quick changes in Florida make it difficult to always get it exactly accurate. Recent scientific analyses of the Farmers’ Almanac is about a 50% accuracy on long term winter forecasting. 50% not bad but you can do about the same flipping a coin!
