Weathermen!

So I'm trying to prepare for my match on Sunday, weather.com says it'll be 55, one local station says it will be 35 breezy and could snow, another local station says it will be 54, yet another station says 49 breezy with snow. So basically I don't know what the hell is going to happen. With all the money and people the TV stations throw at the weather you'd think they'd be better. If these idiots can do a 5 day forecast how come I have to watch them for 10 minutes every night instead of 10 minutes every 5 days?

My main bitch about weather forecasters: I ask you, what sort of lame-o forecast is "Partly cloudy, chance of rain"? If it's a crappy day, almost totally overcast but there's one patch of bare sky anywhere, they're right. If it's a bright, beautiful day with one cottonball cloud, they're right. If it's raining, they're right. If it's not raining, they're right.

And for this, people get paid money.

Well, talking about weather forecasts, one of the funniest things I ever saw was a nice gadget to make your own weather forecasts.

It was placed right outside of a small mountain refuge on the western Italian Alps: it was made up of a hanging rope tied on top to a metal bar, and had a sign below it saying:

Weather Forecasts for today

- If rope is wet: drizzle or rain.

- If rope is slant: heavy wind.

- If rope is frozen: temperature below zero.

- If rope is invisible: heavy fog.
