Freaky Friday

We all know how dumbed down the Weather Reporters are now always deferring to “Computer Models” to predict. We could spend hours beating that dead horse but we won’t. Last night was supposed to be a severe Winter Storm so the Governor declared an emergency. Schools closed, businesses did not open. It was supposed to arrive around 11pm to 1am. When I went to bed at 1am it was still 48F outside! A bit warm for a major Winter storm.

I got up this morning to a decent 38F no snow, no ice, no sleet. Only 2 One-hundredths of an inch of rain. Now they decided they were wrong and it will be here tonight around the same time. The rain has started and the temp is dropping slowly. It has held at 34F now for about 4 hours.

I suppose it will get here when it gets here. Temp for tonight expected to be 23F so maybe we will see some sleet or a flurry or two late.

  1. When I studied Meteorology at college, there were no ‘computer models’ to go by. We predicted by looking at the actual weather conditions, and probability of resulting weather.

  2. Amen to that. Our Weathermen of years gone by would get it right at least 85-90% of the time which is pretty good not to have computers models and other stuff.
