Weather forecasters or Weather Psychics?

Ha ha ha! I was just sitting here thinking about the big storm that is headed for the Midwest and it occurred to me that weather forecasters are more like fortune tellers. They have "predictions" and they "see the future". LMAO I think it's interesting that they can predict our weather. Sometimes they are accurate, sometimes not. My husband and I always laugh when a weather site will tell you hour by hour what the weather is going to be like. We will look out the window and say, "well it's 9pm, it was supposed to have started raining 2 hours ago, but our skies are still clear". They're really calling for a doozy of a storm right now, which is supposed to begin at Noon tomorrow. I hope they are very wrong!

I am not sure where you are but it sounds like you are somewhere close to ohio? for weeks now we have been laughing at the weather people, So far since christmas they have not hit it yet. They call for snow- we look out hours later and - no snow In fact they hardley ever call it right here in ohio, I guess the phrase -if you dont like the weather wait 10 min. and it will change. we sit here thinking we should go get some things at the store, as we antispate a big mess the next few days, and we like you hope this doozy misses us and hope they are VERY WRONG!!!

Hey Ohio! I'm in Indiana, up by Lake Michigan. We get the "you're going to get blasted by lake effect" and it usually doesn't happen. I agree about the "if you don't like the weather, wait 10 min. and it will change". If this storm hits, I hope it hits lightly and I hope no one gets hurt.

Well, look at the bright side. If they're predicting rains or storms, there's a very huge chance that they'd be wrong :)
