Weather you care or not


Today is a day when people are obsessed with weather. That’s right, snowmageddon hit us last night, as illustrated by my car being completely buried. Luckily I’m not going anywhere today, but big storms like this get me thinking about our neighborhood friendly meteorologists.
 
I feel really bad for weather forecasters.  I mean, can you think of another job where everyone hates what you have to say? If you say it’s going to snow people curse you because they hate snow. Then when it doesn’t actually snow people get really nasty and call you names because you didn’t get it right. If you say it’s going to be hot, people again curse you because why is it so damn hot? It’s literally a lose-lose situation.

The trouble is, everyone cares about the weather. Since the beginning of time this has been a topic of discussion, like “Hey did you see it’s supposed to rain today?” or “Nice weather we’ve been having eh?” With so many people dependent on you, you’re bound to screw up once in a while right? I personally think we need to give these forecasters a bit of a break. I mean, is it their fault that global warming is causing random and insane weather patterns? No, that’s your fault Mr. Hummer Driver. Is it their fault that the wind changed? No, and for that matter I don’t know where wind comes from. Is it their fault that it’s snowing in June? No, you live in Colorado duh!

So the next time that you see the snow plows out and the sun is shining, just smile and think what a beautiful day it is, snow or no snow.
