We were watching the local news tonight, and the weather forecast came on. Now, the weather forecaster resembles a leprechaun, and spends most of his on-air time being "cute". Tonight he said, and I quote verbatim: If you are going to one of the high school football games tonight, take a poncho, because you never know if it's going to rain! So folks, it's up to you to guess if it's going to rain. I can hardly wait for tornado season :'( .
Weather.com predicts by a percentage chance of rain. It only seems to rain if there is only a 10 percent chance. dooley
Weatherman - the only job you can be wrong every day and still have a job! My mother used to say "little boys who lie grow up to be weathermen"
Your little leprechaun weather person sounds quite unique, Marlingardener! My personal favorite is when I'm at home watching my local weather, and the meteorologist is suggesting there MIGHT be a little drizzle. Or perhaps a flurry. Or maybe a mild thunderstorm. And I'm sitting on my couch looking out the window, and it's pouring down rain in buckets, or the snow is pelting down like a white sheet, or it's thundering so loudly I can barely hear the TV. Looked out YOUR window recently, Mr. Weatherman?
I gave you a seed for this one, MG...but it ought to have been something a bit fancier. Man, I laughed so hard at your dry comment. Good grief! I do like a good laugh.
I live almost exactly between Houston and Beaumont (about 50 miles each direction). And on any given day they have exact opposite forecasts. The "big city" forecasters in Houston usually are closer with their predictions than the "local yocals" in Beaumont... bless their little hearts.
