Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 14, 2025

Ain’t science wonderful

Playing the snow lottery are we?

Weather forecasts have been getting amazingly accurate these days. Temperature forecasts in my area, along with those for rain and wind, have been really super accurate.

My money is on her answer.

Rhuematism beats the weather forecast!

In my late teens I fractured a bone in my hand. It healed nicely but for many years after my hand could predict rain coming.

wonder if she keeps a jug of granny’s rheumatis medicine on hand?

Going with Janis on this one. I have a “weather knee” that is highly accurate on rain and thunderstorms.

My head will ache when a low pressure front is approaching. The stronger the front and/or the faster it moved in, the more my head would respond with a pressure headache. I used to have to just suffer through such pains but a couple a times a year, these weather headaches were so severe I couldn’t make it to work. When I was working, I would tell co-workers when a rain storm was approaching approximately 24 hours in advance. They used to scoff at my predictions until they learned just how accurate I was. It used to be a miserable “gift” to have since the headache stuck around until the weather front passed through. Then I discovered that Excedrin worked like magic to rid the headaches because it contained caffeine. In fact, caffeine is so effect in getting rid of the headache, I now take 1/2 of a caffeine tablet instead of the Excedrin. I don’t drink coffee or soda, so apparently the caffeine jolt I get when I do consume it interacts with my brain somehow to thankfully rid the pressure of the headache.

The wife’s weather toe is accurate for incoming precipitation.The Texas A&M method of predicting weather: hang a rope out side your window. If it moves, it’s windy. If it gets wet, it’s raining and/or snowing. If it freezes, its a cold snap.

My poor poor knees. Plop

Don’t be dumb, Arlo. Accept technology, it is your friend.

My rheumatism is more accurate than the weather channel….

And, speaking of accuracy, I really like Weather Channel’s radar

But sometimes I look at the forecast; look out the window and ?

This is the slowest moving comic. I only read 2-3 x a week, and still nothing has happened.

Snowed yesterday here – crew we pay to have clear the snow on our driveway/sidewalk came this morning to clear.

Husband had been having a nervous breakdown as it was suppose to be heavy weight snow, very wet – will freeze, and 6 inches.

We got maybe 3 inches of extremely light snow as after the crew cleared the driveway we went out and cleared off the car and van – we could easily lift the snow off the vehicles with a small (children’s) snow shovel – and we both had the same idea to buy a second children’s shovel – we do have regular snow shovels, but the children’s one is great for removing snow from vehicles.
