"The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it."
True words. Not sure who said them but they knew what they were talking about. When I lived in Southern Utah the weather predicting was pretty accurate especially one or two days out. They had a long time to track those storms coming out of California or up from AZ. But up here in the panhandle of Idaho it is a wild ass guess. They have plenty of excuses - they say that the weather patterns come from 7 directions whatever that means. Too far north, close to the coast and then all the mountain ranges surrounding us - Cascades, Selkirks, Bitterroots, ect. And you cant trust the Canadians, flakey socialist wimps. Anyway the one day forecast is sketchy, two day is not reliable and the 5 or 10 day is funny made up stuff. Oh well the weather is constantly changing here so does keep it interesting. It was 13 degrees on Haloween night, cut down on the trick or treaters. Now it is raining and 60 degrees, tomorrow who knows - Im keeping my short pants handy just in case we get a heat wave (or as they call them in King Cove AK "shorty pants" ) I am going to take the dogs for a walk in the rain so here are some weather related quotes:
The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Weather forecast for tonight: dark. ~George Carlin
Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.
~Kin Hubbard
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain. ~Author Unknown
Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~Roger Miller
