Goodbye snow, hello... Rain?!

"What happened to winter"
Winter Leftover.


In today's weather... AHHHH!

What is up with these weather forecasts? Who in G-d's name hired these guys, and what in G-d's name are they saying???

To start with lets start with what is really ticking me off right now, all the spring season rain, lots of rain, but some days are actually nice and yet looking at the weather online all I see is rain! I look out the window and its beautiful, I mean how do these guys come up with these predictions? I'll bet they just sit in a room and one guy says to the other: Hey Bob, ya know we haven't had rain in a while, I think we should pencil in rain for tomorrow and lets see what happens... Or maybe they just happened to hear about the Jewish rain prayer on pesach and it went something like this: Hey Joe did ya hear the Jews did some kind of rain dance asking their G-d for rain, you know how he likes to listen to them, I say we predict lots of rain this week.

My favorite guess however would be that Bob and Joe have some old guy with arthritis sitting on the roof of the weather station and every once in a while the guy hollers at them: Hey buddies my joints and bones are killing me, I'm telling you we are going to have rain sometime soon, I can feel it alright. And then Bob and Joe try to figure out when exactly is it going to rain, Joe: So what do you say Bob rain tomorrow, AM or PM? Bob: Gee Joe I really don't know, here I'm flipping a coin, heads or tails, you call it this time, last time I called rain and we ended up having a blizzard.

My next favorite part is listening where exactly the wind is coming from, they cant just say its windy outside, no that would be way to simple, instead they have to say where exactly the wind is coming from, and exactly how fast the winds are... Who gives a crap if the winds are coming from the North or the South or the Northwest, what is up with these people! Pray tell me what is the difference between a eastern wind and a western wind? Does it howl with a different accent?! But perhaps maybe they understand what a walk to shul with a shabbos hat is all about and they are trying to inform us which way to tilt our heads, so this way my brand new borsalino wont go flying on the street and get run over by a truck, like it happened to my bro right after he got his bar-mitzvah hat, listen when I see someone's hat fly I yell at him: Hey buddy, didn't you listen to the weather, we have a northern wind coming in! Tilt your head/hat to the north, moron!

One other thing that really kills me is when they are saying the weather and the stupid weatherman will say something like this: So its sunny outside and feels like 60*... FEELS LIKE? What does feels like mean? Is it or isn't it? I mean if it feels like 60 then it most probably is 60, no? If were to put my brand new "Digital weather thermometer" outside, is it going to say, feels like 60' but you should know it really isn't, remember it only feels like it, really its freezing but ya see, the sun is warming the earth so it makes you think its allot warmer then it really is, or maybe right now its really boiling hot but hey with that wind out there you can never really be sure, so I'm just going to tell you what it FEELS LIKE, but remember what you feel aint always what is.

Oy'sh G-d bless the weatherman, he has a hard enough time keeping track and trying to figure out where the heck all those arrows on the darn screen are pointing to...

Just to finish off, what the heck is the difference between a slight wind or a heavy breeze? And is there really much of a difference between a little drizzle and a heavy mist?
