Well I did get a good crop of potatoes last year, they didn't get too wet during VT's wet drizzly weather last summer because of how I planted them...beans weren't bad either. My Siberian tomatoes didn't mind the wet, gray weather at all it seemed...

I guess with odds such as these, they are bound to get something right.

It's going to be cloudy tomorrow, unless its clear, in which case it will be warm, unless its cold...

...and a 50% chance of precipitation and a 50% chance of dry conditions...tis that CYA thing. You are exactly right, though, Moose

I agree. Somewhere I had heard/read that if they are accurate with their forecasts at least 75% over a course of a year, they receive a bonus. Don't know if that is true or no...but wouldn't be surprising considering.

Meteorologists, Climatologists, Physics, Snake Oil Salesman (well at least you get something from them), and Nitwitiniceland. See any commonalities.

My weather professor, who has been a forecaster for the NWS for over 30 years up here, says it is supposed to be a cool spring. He didnt mention anything about it being wet.

Psst did you not hear the news its called Climate Change now, because they got caught lying about global warming . Because of the need to continue to spread fear and uncertainty they changed the name.
