The Bottom Line
This service provides honest weather information and advice from meteorologist Andrew “Drew” Montreuil based on 20+ years of experience forecasting for the Finger Lakes region. However:
- No guarantees – Weather forecasts are inherently uncertain and can be wrong
- No liability – You’re responsible for your own decisions
- Not for emergencies – Call 911 for emergencies; this isn’t an emergency service
- Response not guaranteed – I do my best, but can’t promise to respond to every question or within a specific timeframe
