We all know that weather forecasters have a reputation for getting it wrong from time to time.

And no one is more acutely aware of this than the forecasters themselves, so it's no real surprise they can get a little tetchy when their forecasts are questioned, right?

After having his recent televised report questioned by his 18-year-old daughter Claire, meteorologist Chris Halcomb gave a response so scathing that Twitter has officially found themselves a new hero.

Taking to social media after forecasting snow for the region, Chris shared a screengrab of an exchange between himself and Claire.
 

Having advised his daughter that her reliance on a weather app may have a detrimental effect on her college fund, Chris found himself inundated with messages of support from members of the public. 

"This tweet is hilarious!" wrote one while another added: "These old folks getting social media and turning into damn savages out here."

"Tweet of the year so far," gushed another.

Chris, take a bow.
