….well let see. I check if it’s going to rain… but it alway says 40 to 60 percent everyday… and it never rains. My car keeps getting dirtier by the day… so I say… what the heck. I wash it… it rains. Some where a woman laughs.

…because she’s in the same quandry as everyone else, and laughing is more fun than crying.

I grew up in Jackson, Miss. When I was a kid the weatherman either predicted rain or no rain. That made them try harder to try to be right. Anybody today can simply say it’s a 50-50 thance

Hey, guys, lay off the ladies. I’ve been around long enough to suspect they’re smarter than you. And a whole lot prettier…

…and it always rains when I’m going to mow my lawn– if I time it right.

The reason is Murphy’s Law! And the logical response is constructive application of Murphy’s law. Examples:
** If you want it to rain, then wash your car… or water your lawn.
** If you don’t want rain while you’re on the golf course, make sure everybody in your foursome is carrying an umbrella.

30% chance of rain - I always thought it meant 30% of the listening area would get some rain.
WRONG!
According to NOAA weather it is the percentage of days with identical atmospheric weather conditions (heat, humidity, barometric pressure, etc.) when it actually rained.
Suddenly 50% chance of rain doesn’t sound all that reassuring. (sigh)

My modus operandi is to wait until it is raining, THEN wash my car. That way I don’t have to rinse it. (Sure, I get a little wet, but hey, I don’t have to take a shower either.)

I like the way mother nature has screwed with weather forecasters for centuries….with no chance of change.

carmy: As the saying goes, “Women are often wrong, but never uncertain”. LOL

kreole…I too grew in Jackson…just not up. That ain’t happening.
There were only 2 stations then…3 &12. Woody Assaf would sayit was going to rain…it was gospel if he said it…and Bob Neblitt would predict sunshine on the opposite channel just to hedge.
Out of respect I will mention Wilda Farber who saw the rainbows and just said it would do both. She did not last…but she was still better than David H’man.
