The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 12, 2013

Typical week in Saint Louis. 80 degrees last Wednesday. 50 degrees yesterday.

You know Brutus that any month you work for Rancid is going to be rough anyway.

just another typical spring weather report for the midwest region of the United States

Nice… but it still can’t beat the late George Carlin as Al Sleet, the Hippie-Dippie Weatherman… “Tonight’s forecast — DARK! Continued mostly dark tonight, changing to widely scattered light in the morning!”

Rest in peace, George.

BTW, in case you’re interested, here’s an address (just copy and paste into your address bar): http://youtu.be/D1uaw3WIOlc

Aha! This strip must be based in Missouri!

…followed by frog rain and a swarm of locust. There’s an Apocalypse in the forecast, but first, a few words from our sponsors.

A lot of people from Missouri here. It was 78 Tuesday in the Joplin area, then snow and lower 30’s yesterday. Gotta love Missouri weather…

sounds like one interesting day in ohio

Well the other day in NJ (small state) we had temps in the 80’s down south around Cape May & AC, to 70’s up in the north (Newark area & north) but the middle of the state was in the 50’s. Go figure.

Could be he lives in Colorado. Last week, we had 70 degree weather, with forecasts for “rain showers, followed by snow flurries.” However, next thing you knew, the “rain showers, followed by snow flurries” had turned into BLIZZARD warnings! Also, of course, the temperature went from 70 degrees right on down to ZERO – which turned out to be the coldest day of the year so far – and that was in April!

We are now experiencing the beginning of a new era of wildly fluctuating weather extremes resulting from climate change. Typical weather conditions prior to 2000 C,E, are of limited utility for comparison purposes with this new era resulting from vast carbon emissions. In the year 2050, teens alive today, with decades of enduring far more extreme events under their belts, will wistfully reminisce about the relatively benign weather on Earth in the first couple of decades of the 21st Century.

When I worked in radio, I’d give the forecast “Clear to partly cloudy with a chance of rain”

All one Friday, the forecast was partly cloudy for Saturday. When I signed the station on, there’s been snow overnight. I told the listeners not to blame me…Big Government was responsible for the forecast….I’d said it’d be partly cloudy…and I woke up with half an inch of partly cloudy on the driveway.

@star candle. Or Arkansas!!!

If you think the weathers bad now..don’t sweat it…Just wait for the hail of North Korean ICBM’s

Welcome to Chicago…

I didn’t know you lived in Indianapolis too, Brutus!

As we like to say around here, if you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes and it will change…
