Weathermen...

[thaskalos]

In the late fall of last year, the major weather-reporting agencies in the U.S. were all in agreement that the Chicago region would have the worst winter in the country. Bitter cold, they said...and more snow than the record-breaking snowfall we had the year before. One weather bureau even stated that..."after this winter, the Chicagoans will wish they had moved."

The non-relenting snow was to start falling by November's end...so I ran out and bought a brand new, super-deluxe snow blower. No way would I continue paying the exhorbanent fees that my landscaping/snow-removal guy was charging me.

Well...this has turned out to be the mildest winter in recent memory, with only one significant snowfall (which melted practically overnight)...and temperatures consistently above the freezing level.

Today, with february practically upon us...the "windy city" is bathed in sunshine...with a temperature of 55 degrees.

Of course...these "professional" weathermen are still collecting their paychecks...

The horseplayers should be so lucky...

Don't forget. All of those guys went to fancy schools and have high end degrees. How dare you doubt them..............

That's why they're called weather men.
They don't know whether it will or whether it won't. :rolleyes:

Winter has missed us here too. In fact, it's supposed to be around 60 tomorrow and I'm playing golf - providing the weatherman got tomorrow right. :confused:

Weathermen are in the propaganda business. The weather channel has made pornography out of it [head on over and see how images of tornadoes, snowstorms, hurricanes and other could-be disasters have been turned into commodities to consumed by the viewer].

Amen. :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

Somehow the local news here can turn the thirty minute broadcast into one long weather forecast with some news sprinkled in between maps. Amazing since wind velocity is about the only thing that changes at any point in a month.

Anyone see the irony in us horseplayers ragging on weathermen for their lack of predictive prowess?

They are playing in droves here in Baltimore today. I drove by a course that was lined up with carts full of players waiting to Tee off

That's an understatement... "cyclone" and "shark" were about the only words I recognized that weren't expletives.
