less on supercomputers.

Except that society doesn't build supercomputers for trivial reasons.
The advances in various sciences and technology can have a direct and
positive effect on people in endless ways.

Amen!

One of these days meteorologists may actually have enough
computing power to run their myriad models and obtain
data for more accurate forecasts BEFORE the weather
actually happens.

If I estimate a deliverable for a client at six to
twelve weeks, I expect to get roundly chastised for
an estimate with 100% error. But when a meteorologist
predicts six to twelve inches of snow ... people
accept it without batting an eyelash.

is anybody else under the impression old meteorologists were better at
weather predictions than some drone staring at a radar screen claiming all
weather will be dangerous?

Of course, you only remember the prediction errors, especially the
large ones. You likely aren't recording the predictions over time and
comparing them to actual values to measure the degree they are
actually off. I'm more than willing to bet that the models used are
more accurate than your perception of their accuracy.
