What's wrong with this picture?



Ah, weathermen, gotta love 'em.

Well, we all knew weathermen weren't to be trusted, right?

*laughs at your icon*

Odd that we'd have a problem with that, right? :)

Maybe the weatherman is being creative, H isn't in fact High, it's Horrid, and L isn't low, it's Lovely.....*yeah, reaching, lol* Shoot the weather man.

Lol, I like the way you think! Although snowing + anything isn't really lovely in my opinion (although it is pretty to look at, so you might be onto something)

I think the Yahoo!weather software has some flaws. Back in the summer (okay, October, but it still felt like summer) the forecast would say 94 for the high here, and yet right above it the temperature would be 98.

We get the actual temp being lower than the low (or higher than the high) fairly frequently, probably at least once every few weeks. But I never saw the high being lower than the low before!

I must be the only one that doesn't think it's that unusual, because what they're really tracking are daytime highs and nighttime lows, and in certain weather systems that can happen for a few days in a row.

it never occurred to me that the low was only the low that occurred during the nighttime and the high was only the high that happened during the day. Several times here the highest temp was at 12:01 am or so because a cool front comes in and the temp drops massively as a result but I don't remember seeing the low being listed as the high. But then again, I rarely am checking the temp at an ungodly hour of the morning like I was on Sunday
