500 Words on Weather

Weather is more difficult to predict than most people think. It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, snowy, or windy. Rain can become hail. Hurricanes are different than tornadoes. Did you know this?

And standing in front of that weather screen is not easy either. You have to move your hands and point at things that are not there. It's sort of like pointing at a spring chicken. But she ain't no spring chicken!

In most other professions, the likelihood of error is much smaller than weather. If you play baseball, you either catch the ball or you drop it. You have a 50% chance. If you are a race car driver, you either win or lose. Again, it's 50%. If you are a politician, it's also win or lose. These jobs are easy. But in weather? Too many possibilities. Too difficult.

That's it. I hope you learned from this. I hope that you learned that weather people are people too. They have feelings. They/we have a tough job and they/we don't need your abuse.
