Don't sh*t the small stuff. There is absolutely nothing you can do about the weather.

Get on with it.

Mine is a "no rain" car for a variety of reasons and if there is a 20% chance of rain, I'm watching the radar for 3 hours before I take it out just in case there is a HINT of rain on its way.

Today, a massive thunderstorm literally developed right over my head. The entire state of Virginia, and there is this little bitty red/yellow/orange blob that was parked over my little area and dumped 2 inches of rain in 30 minutes.

NOAA showed 20% chance of showers throughout today.

Forntunately, I was not in my Vette.

Someone once said " You did need a weather man, to know which way the wind bows "
Sometimes you just have to live with what you get.

They called for a very cold and snowy winter for the northeast. I've had my C3's out at least once per week and almost everyday so far this month. For once, I love that they were wrong - year round driving season - I can get spoiled by this!

After watching the weather knuckleheads on the West Coast screw up the daily forecast EVERYDAY!!!.... I can make up my own forecast and be more right than them...

"Today will have sunny or cludy skies followed by sun or rain. Temperatures will be cool or hot with periods of wind or calm."

Everything is about the drama on the news these days. If they had their way, I think we would all be hiding under a table waiting for a 24yr old with great hair to tell us when to go to the bathroom.

It irks me too, but I realized that I have windows on my house (HD probably) that reveal 100% accurate weather, but my hair isn't so great so... well... what was I saying?

Weatherman said we were supposed to get 4" of snow the other night. I knew that if I took the vette to work the weatherman would be right so I took the 4X4 and we hardly got a skiff. (Hardly bugger all for those living in the sunnier warmer States)
