The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 22, 2023

There’s a reason why they call nature a mother.

Maybe it snowed or rained heavily here in Northern Italy: we are on the verge of a drought and possible water rationing.

We were only supposed to have a 70% chance of rain, but it rained 200% ….all day! Buckets of rain!

I prefer to think no matter what weather persons have at their disposal, they never can get it right.

As the late great Roddy Piper was fond of saying: “Just when you know the answers I change the questions.”

somebody slipped her some Chiffon again ㋛

My wife has learned a lot from Mother Nature in that regard.

But let’s not forget that Old Man Winter sometimes doesn’t know enough when to leave.

God has a sense of humor

“Man plans. God laughs.” A Yiddish Proverb

It’s the federal budget. The first thing they cut is always the Department of Weather Control.

Weather forecasting is about like the medical practice, namely, not an exact science. And with climate change being another wrinkle in the mix, the weather is even less predictable.

They call doctors business a practice. Weathermen and doctors are still just practicing.

For all of you who complain about the accuracy of the weather forecast, how did your NCAA Tourney Bracket work out for you?

I knew she was going to say that.

Mother Nature does what she wants, when she wants.

it sure does… often here too. :}

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature

Nature has its own sense of humor as it goes about its business. Life chuckles, as it stifles full laughter.

I was taught that meteorology is a science; just not an EXACT science!!!

What woman does; yet predictable most are after you get to know them. As to Mother Nature, she’s done a better job of deceiving us as at times to her plans…..

That is a true statement!

neither do mother- in- laws!!

Maybe someday humans will control the weather. I hope not.

Gladys says, they don’t look out the window…

This is why Wastrel Gravesite winters in the tropics.

Mother Nature needs to take some Midol.

I’ve always felt there are two professions – meteorology and economics – where are you can be wrong your whole career and still be considered an expert as long as you can explain why you were wrong.

Brutus’s look says other mothers are unpredictable as well. Especially two he knows well

Overall, NWS forecasts are generally considered to be accurate and reliable, with accuracy rate of around 90% for high-impact weather events.
