Snowing here, do they tell you on the news last night no.

The weather man says rain. Up north from here. Just a dusting.

Really high tech graphics, with all kinds of maps with pointers and all.

Thats a job where if you get it right and then your a hero.

Get it wrong they are ,well the front moved higher pressure here, caused this and that.

I think they got a dart board throw a dart and wola the weather for the next day.

And what they must get paid.

Thats the job for me. Wrong or right they still get paid.

No pressure on them. All you got to do is show up look pretty and boom heres your check.

Well come to think about it looking pretty i ain't gonna get the job.

I'll be the first ugly, really really ugly, weather man maybe people would believe me, that i know what i'm talking about, cause i sure don't believe these pretty boys.

It sure seems like many of the women forecasters are always pregnant on our local stations. I wonder if that is a requirement for the job? :D

My wife's arthritis is a sure winner in telling when it is going to snow or rain. Those are the days I go hide from her :D..............just kiddin.........SS

Not that hard here in AZ.

It goes something like this:

Ummmm-clear and sunny, maybe HOT.

If a cloud sneaks into the state, they all FREAK out and break into prime time TV to show you radar pic's of it. If it rains, they go apoplectic.

DJ ha.

My war wound told me it's gonna be worse then rain.

The knee starts throbbing, rain, can't walk on it snow for sure.

Even when i'm on the boat i can tell it's gonna rain.

Only good thing so far i didn't have to fire up the snowblower.

If i don't use it ever again i'll be happy.

Yeah, what a joke...Here in southern cal we probably have a total of 10 to 15 weathermen or women on all the tv stations. They still can"t get it right..They report of rain on the weekend, so you change your plans and it"s sunny.....If we do get a drop or two they call it "storm watch"...LOL
