My meaty urologist needs a kick to the groin.

We have that saying in Michigan too. And we had it in Texas. I think it's probably pretty common.

Must be. We live it here in Colorado.

I was shocked senseless when I went to take the trash out Saturday. There was a fresh blanket of snow on the grass (not on the sidewalk; it had been in the 50s or even 60s earlier in the day).

Why was I in shock? THE WEATHERMAN SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN!!!!!! Could have knocked me over with a feather when it did...

You want weather folks who give accurate forcasts? Move to Tucson, AZ. It goes something like this

It will be sunny and warm today (substitute warm with hot during the summer).

During monsoon season it goes "It will be sunny in the morning with afternoon thundershowers clearing up by evening."

Now here in Ohio I think the weather folk are absolutely awful. Predict a major snowstorm one day and we get maybe a slight dusting. Predict rain and its sunny. Predict sun and it rains. They are really bad in my opinion. I thin the Farmer's Almanac is closer to being accurate than these local weather folk.

I can vouch that folks in central Illinois and east Tennessee say this too. And both apparently believe that it somehow makes the weather there unique and different from anywhere else.

With the possible exception of Tucson...

Yeah, in Tucson if you wait 5 minutes it will probably just be hotter....

Just based on the title, I figured you'd gone to have your prostate checked and the doctor had bigger hands than you'd have liked.

Our weather has actually improved quite a bit over what was predicted. Of course, it seems like the meteorologists here like to keep expectations low so people are happier about what weather actually does rather than the opposite.

You've noticed that too? I thought I was imagining things.

I check the National Weather Service website for my area. Most of the weather reports I hear on the radio come from that page, verbatum. And it is consistently more accurate than any tv forecast.

And die_kluge, I can honestly say I have never before heard the words "dumping an inch" and "all-day blizzard" used in the same sentence at the same time.

And Iowa, and Missouri.

Speaking of which, it is EXTRA irritating that they wait until the VERY end of the news to give you the weather forecast. They know that the rest of the crap they're reporting on is just so much filler because they've got you by the weather balloons, gripping their viewers to the TV when we just want to try and figure out what we're going to wear and do tomorrow.

Bastards!

Rel: News 14 Carolina dude. They predicted the rain on Sunday. You need cable to get the channel though. They have Weather on the Ones, which means that the weather is broadcast every 10 minutes.

Their website ain't bad either.

And Iowa, and Missouri.

and Indiana

and Indiana

Not here though. In North Carolina (at least the part where I'm from), we say, "If you don't like the weather...then go the hell on home, damn yankee!"
