This is an open message to all the weather forecasting professionals out there:
Would you guys please, for cryin’ in the mud, put your little heads together and straighten out your act?
Look at this screen shot from today’s Google News. You may have to click it to make it big enough.
Cooler weather, and a heat wave, at the same time in the same place. Oh dear.
All of my life, I’ve been watching you guys predict the weather. You’ve never been right more than a few days in a row. I look at the prediction, say 72 degrees, and then I look at the thermometer the next day. 78 degrees. That night, the prediction for the next day, 70 degrees. And on and on. No! You got it wrong, and it’s really warmer than that out here!
Never any adjustment in thinking based on empirical evidence. Isn’t it supposed to be a science?
I get stuff wrong all the time, but like most people I try to learn from my mistakes, get a little closer to correct the next time. I’m just sayin.

Wow, Kyle, did you wake up a grouch? 🙂 But I’m with you. I was born and raised a weather watcher. My dad used to circle the house every night before bedtime, looking at the sky, sniffing the air. I can FEEL what the weather is going to do. Guess I inherited it from him.
In fact, once (a hundred years ago) I auditioned to be a weather girl. Trouble is, I knew weather better than I knew the map. LOL
Have a good week. I love your random posts. They always cheer me.
