LOL!! We were just joking the other day that meteorology is the only field you can go into and be 100% wrong and still keep your job!

Our meteorologist predicted 8-12 inches of snow for a REALLY bad snow storm that was heading our way, no travel advised, all evening activities at schools and adult centers cancelled, etc etc etc. Storm suppose to hit at midnight.....I headed to bed fully prepared to be snowed in the next morning.

Woke up and there was not one single snow flake on the ground. . I kind of expect that they aren't perfect but my first thought was "seriously?"

So I just had to throw that out there that I RARELY believe the weather guy/gal.
