Fowl weather

Lately the weather news stated “Bomb Rain Cyclone” due. Totally nonsense. Just a regular fall rain storm. Bah!

And all the map colors are now very vibrant in the extreme.

Still I can’t take my eyes off the weather gal, though…..

No matter how wrong they are, they still keep there jobs. LOL

I don’t ever recall the sky falling but there are many who are preparing for it….LOL

Stable skies in a stable?

When the fox and poultry are mad at you in the same space you know you dun messed up smh

The Egyptian goddess of the sky was named Nut. An illustration from the Egyptian Book of the Dead shows her arching over the earth, with Shu, the god of the air, supporting her, presumably to keep her from falling.

The illustration can easily be found online, but might be considered marginally NSFW, depending on the attitudes of individual workplaces.

I am firmly convinced that meteorology is not so much a science as it interpretive art

You know he doesn’t know the weather because he doesn’t have a Sharpie.

It seems the weather forecasts just can’t get it right. They are usually off quiet a bit. With all the multi-million dollar satellites and equipment, you would think they could do better……NOT! Maybe they should go back to bottles of bear fat (Gordon Wimsatt). They were better at predicting weather than any of them.

Out here in The City, it seems the skies are falling…streets and highways are closed and many subway and commuter lines are suspended because of flooding…hell, they’ve even suspended alternate side of the street parking…Mayor Adams is reportedly building an ark…I’m OK in my second-floor bedroom, but I’m afraid to look in my basement…

With the election about a year away? I say the sky is falling!

I’m glad he cleared that up.

He’s all wet.
