weather prick

Ted's posts on Facebook about 75 degrees in Southern California are really annoying. He's a weather prick.

weather geek

The ultimate weather fanatic. The weather geek will stay up all night waiting for model runs for a storm that may not even hit them, and will chase every storm in their area. Standing outside in extreme weather is their natural habitat, and any welts from hail, frostbite, soaked clothes, and more are proud battle scars. Some are more interested in winter weather or tropical weather, but all have a deep passion/borderline obsession with the weather. Weather geeks love everything science and some go on to become meteorologists.
Cody is such a weather geek. He stayed up all night for the NAM, GFS, and ECMWF for a snowstorm that won't even hit him.

Weather Boner

The erection that local weathermen get when there is the possibility that severe weather may cause damage, and they get to pre-empt your regular programming.
Mark Murray could barely hide his weather boner while reporting that certain parts of the city could see the possibility of a hint of a thundercloud.

weather weenie 

A weather enthusiast who gets excited by extreme weather, but who has little or no knowledge of the science of meteorology.

Weenies often inhabit Internet message boards and issue "wishcasts", which are forecasts based on the author's desire for extreme weather. They try to justify their wishcasts with anecdotes and pseudoscience.

While professional forecasters examine computer models to make forecasts, weenies often treat the forecasters themselves as data sources upon which to form their wishcasts.

When an extreme weather event isn't going to plan, weenies will often react by issueing "bittercasts", which greatly overestimate the extent to which the supposed extreme weather has weakened.

Weenies are very self-absorbed and emotional, and become morbidly distraught when a forecasted extreme weather event doesn't pan out in their backyard. Even if the forecast was generally correct for surrounding areas, weenies will angrily denounce the forecasters.
Some made-up weenie quotes illustrating the terms:

Wishcasting

"I have a term paper due tomorrow that I haven't started yet, I think we'll get 3 feet of snow though, just look at the storm swirl on the satellite."

"When DT and LC and JB agree on a forecast, watch out!"

Bittercasting

"Well, we're getting dry slotted and it's hardly snowing. The storm's a bust. We'll end up with 1/4 inch."

(Later, weenie still gets a respectable 18 inches)

"We only got 18 inches instead of 36. WORST FORECAST EVER"
