I mean, yeah, we need the rain but this much?  All at once?  Sheesh.

I appreciate the tag. Please help me remember your theory: They prognosticate rain/wind/snow several days out so that they can play saviour and provide a more pleasant forecast as the day(s) come nearer?

(Science must study your brain.)

Yours, too. Because you concocted a theory I hadn't thought of.

In a nutshell, the entities behind the government, which is the entity behind the NWS, seem to have a very clear agenda: keep everybody workin' for the weekend.

That screenshot? I could post it many times a year. It happened last week. We were in store for a glorious stretch of weather starting late in the week thru even today. It didn't happen. Is forecasting exact? No. Should uncertainty in the outlook have been baked in given a major storm coming up the coast? Absolutely. There was no uncertainty.

I ask why.

Why?

Honest to God, I think your mind is (and memory is) such that you better remember stuff I've posted here than I do.

Okay. So, for this weekend, that's an interesting matter. As soon as this coming weekend was within forecasting range, the NWS forecast was for r fair, sunny conditions -- then WHAM -- that forecast shifted to 50-60% chance of rain, mostly cloudy. Then less than 12 hours later -- WHAM -- the NWS forecast was back to pleasant weekend weather. It was jarring.

I've got my eyes on it now. Especially given that there's a football game on Sunday.

I hope you feel better soon.  I think of you as 20’s or 30’s in age.

I guess I use the avatar to get a visual of the poster.

If she joined at 17, that puts her at 35.   This could be her.

I gotta say, the introduction 15 years ago or so of kettle cooked potato chips was a game-changer.

Yeah, I like how they hold together in bison dip. They are a superior chip. 

Occasionally I want the OG lays still tho.

15 years ago? My mom was always buying cape cod chips pretty much my entire life.
