I am very seriously considering going back to school to become a television weatherman. I could do it. I wake up every morning, and do basically the job that they do. I can usually tell what the temp is going to be, and if it is going to rain or not. I was watching this local weatherwoman, (can't remember her name) and on this certain station they have what is called the 3 degree guarantee. Well, she missed it by about 11 degrees today. Good job, apparently, you missed the class in grade school about estimating.

I can remember when I was growing up and looking at the paper to see what the weather was going to be before going off to school. I usually had some kind of sports practice after school, so i wanted to see what type of weather we would have, and whether we would be outside, and if it was going to be hot, cold, rainy, snowy, etc. I remember the paper being pretty accurate. Now, they don't even put what they exact temperature is going to be. They put something like this:
Sunny, with some clouds, chance of rain, high of 70-75 degrees. What a bunch of crap! Even the television forecast is like that. Hell, I could get up in the morning, wake up, and say, hmmm, today it looks like it is going to be 50-55 degrees. Looks like it might be sunny today, could be partly cloudy, and there is a 50/50 chance we will have some type of precipitation today, rain, snow, freezing rain, I'm not sure, but it could happen. Give me a break! The damn storm spotters are more accurate than our meteorologists around here. It is unbelievable! All I can say is, Ron Rhodes, look out buddy.
