A linguistic irritant IV

I don't hear this as often as I once did, but I always think it's silly when anyone at a radio station praises or criticizes a meteorologist for the weather.  (i.e.  "Five days of sunshine in a row!  Good job!" or "What's with all this rain you've given us lately?")  Has any meteorologist snapped and responded honestly, "I just predict the weather; I don't control it?"
