Does any one else think that weather men are pointless? Yesterday I
was
expecting to get poured on and it isn't raining. I talked to my friend
in Michigan, and their weather man said it was going to snow, 90%
chance...apparantly it is a bright, sunny day. They need to just be
honest and say they have no idea what is going to happen?

I agree. I stopped watching nightly news reports because a) the news
stories depressed me b)the weather report was useless and c)the human
interest stories were retarded. Now I just try to do my best using my
internal themometer and barometer to guess how to dress...I am a little
bit better guaging than the weather man. But when I travel and have to
pack, I try to plan a little bit. I either do an internet search or
text "weather, (zip code i'm traveling to)" to 4INFO and they'll text
back a forecast. I like being able to store it in my phone, and my
friends haven't figured out that I'm using 4info for help and they think
I am psychic. You can find more than just the weather wiht them, but
that's primarily what I use it for. EW
