How much do Gawker readers trust meteorologists? What do they think of The Weather Channel? We asked, and you answered. Thousands of readers clicked through to take our survey aimed at studying your habits and opinions when it comes to the weather. Let's take a look at the results.

The stroke of midnight this morning closed the record books on yet another quiet hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. We only saw a handful of newsworthy storms, but the real story is what didn't happen. It's been nine years—3,326 days—since the last major hurricane hit the United States.

It's been a while since we've heard from our chemtrail friends, but fear not! They haven't come around to facing reality—they've been in the studio, and now they're back dropping the hottest parody album of the year. This week's new single is "Smells Like Chemtrail Spirit," and it's a doozy.

The temperature in Great Falls, Montana dropped more than fifty degrees in six hours on Friday, going from 54°F at 2:53 PM down to 2°F at 8:53 PM. Now that's a cold front.

A quick series of storm systems approaching the West Coast from the Pacific will bring some beneficial rainfall to most of California and Oregon over the next week. Populated areas of northern California and western Oregon could see several inches of rain, with more at higher elevations.

Gathering around the television to watch football is almost as much of a Thanksgiving tradition as eating half your body weight in turkey and stuffing. The weather can be a make-or-break factor in football games, but will it make a difference this Thanksgiving?

If you're one of the tens of thousands of people who are trapped in one of the United States' many fine airports on this Thanksgiving Eve, you may find yourself wondering when the hell you're going to get out of here and on to your destination. Here's a quick forecast for your (eventual) departure.

Have you taken this survey yet? You still have about a day left. Your responses will help us understand how you get weather forecasts and what you do with the data forecasters provide. It could have real world applications, or it just gives me an excuse to play with numbers on my long weekend. Win/win.

The East Coast's first major snowstorm of the year is expected to start cranking tomorrow afternoon, dropping significant snow in the Northeast the busiest travel day of the year. Out of all of the major cities, New York City is poised to see the most, with up to six inches possible.

While making boneheaded comments about forecasts leading up to Buffalo's seven feet of snow last week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo mentioned that the state is developing a "weather detection system" that would have improved the city's snow forecasts. Here's why he's (mostly) wrong.

A travel nightmare will unfold this week as odds increase that a highly disruptive snowstorm will affect the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday. Travel through all major cities from Washington D.C. to Boston will be heavily affected by this impending snowfall.

Four months ago, Andrew Cuomo falsely stated that New York just recently started seeing tornadoes. On Saturday, the governor gave a press conference where he slammed meteorologists for their largely accurate Buffalo snow forecasts. As usual, Andrew Cuomo is clueless.

Models are showing a potential storm riding up the East Coast during the middle of the week. The exact track of the system and temperature profile of the atmosphere will determine who gets what. Take a deep breath...we can wait a day or two for the models to get a better handle on it.

If you haven't done so already, please go take this survey we ("we") developed to help us ("us") better understand your perception of weather forecasts and certain weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter storms. It only takes a few minutes. Thank you!

Cities to the south and east of Buffalo are digging out from up to 88 inches of snow this morning after this week's double lake effect snow events. To make matters worse, warm temperatures and potentially heavy rain will cause a rapid snowmelt, bringing the potential for major flooding.

Debunkery Alert: This photo is floating around social media under the assumption that it was taken near Buffalo this week. It's actually a picture of a building at Nassfeld Lodge in Austria taken last February after the mountains saw more than ten feet of snow.

While the biggest weather story of the week is undoubtedly the blockbuster snow affecting western New York, there's an equally rare phenomenon occurring on the other side of the country: it's raining in California, and more could come as we head into the winter.

Before it formed, forecasters were concerned that today's lake effect snow could form over the areas that saw five feet of snow earlier this week, dropping a total of 100 inches of snow by Friday. That's just from two storms! How many snowstorms would it take elsewhere in the country to reach 100 inches of snow?
