50% chance of rain

sometimes i hear the weatherman give a percentage of a chance for rain. i think that this concept is kind of a joke. one reason is, it is never right. i saw on tv recently that we are no closer to predicting hurricanes now than we were decades ago. we can predict how many we will have but not much else. even that has been a miss in my opinion. i am ok with someone not being able to predict the weather. it seems impossible to predict. i just dont get the amount of trust we put into it. we are always looking at the weather as if it really will predict rain or snow. the weather man has a tough job, no doubt. i just think it is funny for one to get paid to stand there and tell me that there is a 50% chance of rain. heck i can do that. everyday i give it a 505 chance of rain. unless its raining, then i give it 100%.

it has been raining here all week. i gave up on trying to follow the weather. about the only time the forecast has been right is when it is a few hours out. the 10 day forecast is a joke. try watching the 10 day forecast and write down the predictions. it changes everyday, and is never right. it seems pointless doesnt it. now if you want to know if it is gonna rain just call your friends in the next city and ask them. or call me, i will give it a 50% chance.
