Watching and listening to the local weather people on the media can be a lot of fun. We often wonder what it takes to be a weather person. You read a script from the National weather Service located in Monterey, California. How many different interpretations can you create from one source of information?

What normally separates the weather reports is who has what technology and the personality called the weather person. A blue board is standard, and the ability to make an ass out of yourself is a given. Learn to wave your arms and pretend you like what you do.

Last night I watched two channels and I thought I was hearing a report from two different areas of the nation. “The biggest storm of the season will hit Thursday through Sunday, leaving 4-6” of rain with the possibility of flooding in urban areas! During peak periods ½ to 1 inch of rain will fall per hour”! That could be 4-6’ of snow in the Sierra Nevada’s. The other channel was a bit different. “.28 to .5 inches of rain will fall”!

So stay tuned folks, for those of you who live east of us. You might get a bit of snow. Then again nothing may happen in which case the weather people will exclaim, “the storm track moved north”!
