I've come to the conclusion that the only time you can really trust these guys is when they say, "There will be periods of light followed closely by periods of dark." :))

>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”!
