Why do they feel it is necessary to interrupt my shows to tell us it is raining?  Like I couldn't open a window and see that for myself?

yet the weathermen still get paid to tell us

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't really know if I hope they get paid well...

I think it'd be depressing to learn how much they get paid. Especially on those days where they said it would be sunny so you've planned outdoor things and it rains all day

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

This is true. One of those things it's best not to know.

And I love when they comment on how wrong they were the other day, "well, oops, we thought it would do this but Mother Nature did the exact opposite, who would have guessed?" Welll, we were hoping, since you had a degree and fancy computers and all, that you WEREN'T guessing!

We were hoping you were using science, here, but apparently not.

First winter in MN they predicted a light dusting of snow, maybe up to 3 inched. we got 33 inches. They were off by TWO AND A HALF FEET. and kept their jobs. unreal.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ye gads.

It's become infamous- the "Halloween Snowstorm" lasted three days.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That would suck.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

massively. We got another snowstorm for thansgiving too. It was a very snowy year.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Did it at least snow during December, too?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

probably- I don't remember, for the most part, once you get a big snowfall it sticks around and you have snow cover till March

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Except for in Seattle, where it's usually gone within a week.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that was how snow was in NY where I grew up. I like MN better- if it is gonna be cold at least it'll be pretty

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I miss proper snow.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

WA isn't the same all over?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's actually much more likely to accumulate the further east you go. Spokane gets the most.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh- away from the ocean and closer to the mountains, makes sense. is that where you're from?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm more from the central part of Washington, but two of my brothers went to college in Spokane and the oldest one lives there, now. He always calls and mocks me when he sees it's "snowing" in Seattle.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

snowing in seattle= less than 1" accumulation?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no wonder he laughs

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Especially considering that, meanwhile, he's usually sitting in several inches worth that has been there for most of the week.
