Weathermen

[Jib 0]

Do TV weathermen actually do anything other than repeat forecasts? Saturday morning at 10 am, the guy was saying showers all day. About an hour later, there were no clouds in the sky and I wasn't at the DZ. WTF?? Who else gets to do a job where they're continually wrong and keep it?

You know what weathermen really use?

A magic 8-ball.

our weatherman is an idiot. Yesterday the forecast was rain and clouds all day. It was very very windy, but not a cloud in the sky. Today? AM showers, then clear with calm winds. No rain, some clouds and REALLY variable winds.

go figger.

A weatherman in Florida? What a scam job that is.

"A 20% of rain..."

If it didn't rain, then "you weren't in the 20% that was rained on."

Essentially, the rain starts in the middle of the state and moves toward the coast at the end of the afternoon. Probably ever day, 20% of the state gets rained on.


A K-mart cashier has to have a drawer that balances to the penny. You can be a weatherman and rarely be right, but it is ok.

Designated hitters and weathermen. a 30% average of doing it right means you're pretty good.

Hey Aggie Dave

They had THREE forecast scenerios for the Jacksonville area during PIA and THE WORST one of the three turned out to be the accurate one.

The shaggy dog (Radar) needs to get his act together and give us in Texas some good weather for a change.

What's going to pop out when you pull the handle?

No doubt, we weren't jumping (doubt yall were as well) due to the weather, instead I was wearing a pancho while working on my truck due to the rain.

You think thats something consider this. Doctors and Lawyers go to school for all those years and when they graduate, they open a practice. Shouldn't they show that they are already good at it in order to graduate?

In SoCal, Weather Anchors are usually picked according to their ability as stand up comedians. You can only say "overcast, highs in the mid to upper 80's" so many times before it get boring...

I worked at a place for 6 months where the flag outside would predict the upcoming weather with 100% accuracy. When the wind blew it from the east, the weather was great and clear. When the wind was from the west, shit weather would be here within 12 hours.

-That- weather predictor is the -only- thing I miss from that job.
