It's A Forecast, Not A Prophecy

The weather man (well, actually the weather woman) said there was a zero percent chance of rain today.
Guess what it is doing outside right now. Yep! Raining! So much for that zero percent chance, huh?
Lol, good thing we don't put too much faith in the weather forecast.

Oh, I like that. After all, it is just an (educated) guess, lol.

She was sure wrong! I think I would be a bit miffed if I had something planned outdoors.

@cindiowens .....All they can do is read the atmosphere. I don't find our local weatherman every being wrong. Hmm.

We had finished all of our outdoor activities, although it was just a light sprinkle for a few minutes, so it would not have stopped anything. I just thought it funny they said 0%. Never say never, lol.

Dang, same here. We were supposed to get rain, but we got zippo. All they gotta do is look out the window before forecasting.

Lol, I think they all are. They are just taking educated (I think) guesses.

@cindiowens I know that happens here a lot too. I just wait and see what the weather brings, since most times those forecasts are totally wrong, lol.

You'd think with all the technology that the weather people would get the forecast more accurate. I wrote a post somewhere (Bubblews?) about my method of telling the weather.
Tie a rock to a string and hang it outside. It the rock is wet, it's raining. If it's swinging, it's windy. If it has snow on it, its' snowing. If it's hot, the sun is shining. And if it's gone, head for the storm cellar.

We were forecasted to have "pop-up" showers today. I haven't seen anything "pop-up" since my toast popped up this morning.
