It does make one wonder, Ed...doesn't it?

I depend on tree frogs and crows to tell me what the
weather will be...and they are NEVER wrong.
When tree frogs sing loudly at dusk...it rains.
When crows march around your back door, cawing loudly for food...
a blizzard is on its way. Ditto with coons, possum, deer.

What does a weatherman know, aside from how to twirl a long
stick, following preprinted lines on a screen?
Diddly squat...that's what.

Good job, here, Ed.

hehe... I love calling the weather on the phone while it's pouring and hear the cheery voice say "chance of rain"... you've hit the nail on the head once again, with your astute observations of life, me sweet Eddie M.

katy xox.

Ed,

You ought to know by now that predicting the weather is an inexact science. The weather's gonna do what the weather's gonna do, my daddy always told me.

What I want is at least three hours lead time before a tornado strikes, that way I can fly out before it hits, fly somewhere and find underground shelters...none 'round here. Maybe I'll come to New Jersey?? LOL

Enjoyed this poem--they say you're gonna get it, the Garden State is supposed to be the Parking Lot State LOL

(((HUGS))) and stay safe, love, Karla. (((HUGS))) to Rene and Rufuz, too

No one, especially weathermen and politicians, confess anymore - except you. What color dress are you talking about?! And most importantly, does it match your shoes?!

Ed,

Ever notice how fast the predictions change? Wonderful write. I guess I'll go out and buy a new dress to wear

sherry is right but wouldn't it be a kick to hear the truth for once...'damn midwest, haven't a clue what you're going to get, look out your window in the morning if you are interested. '

Sherry's got a good point :-) but I understand your frustration. The Internet weather websites seem pretty good in predictions. No voices predicting doom.......just the facts and then its your turn to decide what to do with them.

I agree whole heartedly but then that is why they are called whether men in that they do not know whether it will do this or that.

LOL Would you want to listen to a weather guy who came on and said.."yanno I just don't have a clue what the weather might bring..might be snow might be spring, you're on your own"? Mother nature has a way of tripping up even the best of them.
Take care,
Sherry
