An emotionally based negative weather forecast (from the perspective of the author) made by a weather enthusiast, or 'weather weenie', usually after having high hopes of extreme weather dampened due to unfavorable closer-to-event model runs, or the real time nowcast of a storm. Most often found on Weather forums online. Individuals residing in the Ohio Valley and Midwest are particularly vulnerable to such a condition, as these regions are often left out of large winter storms, and can often miss out on many severe weather events. See the so-called "Donut-Hole" effect.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
