A Fifty Percent Chance, Huh?

Back on Tuesday, just like many other times this year, the National Weather Service was forecasting a 50 percent chance of rain for Wednesday night and Thursday. I have seen this forecast many times this year...a 50 percent chance. What good does it do tell people that there is a 50 percent chance of rain? It's like..anyone can say it might or might not rain on any given day. You sure as heck don't need to go to college for 4 years. Now maybe the NWS has some kind of policies about doing this, but it seems to be that they can to a lot better than saying there's a 50 percent chance of rain. It's like throwing up your arms and saying "I don't know what's going to happen". Even on Wednesday I think they were still saying a 50 percent chance. Finally on Thursday morning, they took the chance up to 100 percent, AFTER IT HAD STARTED RAINING! A lot of good that did!

What Season Is It Anyway?

Yesterday I heard birds chirping. The weather has been really weird lately. It's been pouring rain for the past 4 or 5 days with ice all over the ground and thick, creepy fog in the air. Today it went up to 60 degrees and the ice melted and it stopped raining for a while. The winter has pretty much sucked. We haven't really had any snow. Whenever it's cold it doesn't do anything. The rest of the time there is rain or ice. Might as well just get warm and stay warm.
