Merry Christmas...

Merry Jebus-mas everyone.
Everyone batten down your hatches, and prepare for...well...nothing! I just re-watched all the local major news weather forecasts again so I could laugh at the ridiculousness of their predictions. Last night I was kind of excited for a major winter storm heading our way. I guess I am a bit odd, I like big storms. "We will definitely have a white Christmas...", and "4-8 inches on the valley floor, and 6-18 inches on the benches." Well as I look outside it is windy, 43 degrees, sunny, and the snow is melting! Nice job weathertards! The only thing you correctly predicted was the wind.

WeaterTards strike again

I have started to notice that my rants of weather are cyclical. It doesn't bother me much when they forecast rain or shine in the summer and they get it wrong (unless I have a vacation planned), but it really pisses me off when the WeatherTards forecast a HUGE snowstorm (everybody PANIC!!) like they did today. Every 10 minutes on the news last night and this morning we heard about the huge storm heading our way. What have I been looking at all day as I do homework? It rained for a few minutes this morning, and then sunshine and the occasional white puffy cloud. Here is a tip retards, don't predict big storms EVER, you only get it correct once every ten times! Your accuracy would go up 90% if you simply stated that "...it might snow tomorrow..." then the one time out of ten that we have a HUGE storm people might forgive you.

odds and ends

So apparently it snowed like an SOB on the west side and up north today, but my house and at work hadn't seen a snowflake at all...that is until 5:00 just when it was supposed to be slowing down, then it snowed like an SOB up here for about an hour. Haven't been out just yet, but it looks like a few inches.

Good news is that I think I have my CS homework ready to be turned in, I just need to work the extra credit and we will be good to go.

Bad new is that I haven't finished my math homework, and I am no closer to getting it done because for the first time in my life I am utterly and totally lost.

It's gonna snow?

So the WeatherTards™ are at it again, predicting snow all day. Even my Google desktop weather station shows that it is snowing outside, all I see is clouds. I opened up the radar, and hell it sure does look like a big one is coming, but I am betting that nothing big happens. WeatherTards™.com They show the following (oh, and these are all different than they were two hours ago):
12:00 PM - 100% chance of Precipitation - it's now noon and its not snowing...WTF?
1:00 PM - 100% chance of Precipitation
2:00 PM - 100% chance of Precipitation
3:00 PM - 100% chance of Precipitation
4:00 PM - 90% chance of Precipitation
5:00 PM - 90% chance of Precipitation
6:00 PM - 80% chance of Precipitation
7:00 PM - 70% chance of Precipitation
8:00 PM - 60% chance of Precipitation
9:00 PM - 60% chance of Precipitation
10:00 PM - 70% chance of Precipitation
11:00 PM - 80% chance of Precipitation
12:00 PM - 80% chance of Precipitation

Nice job on predicting the weather, I am sure glad I drove my truck instead of my car (about a 10 MPG difference). These damn WeatherTards™ are costing me money!

On a side note, I am at work doing homework and chasing a memory leak. I am struggling in my math class, and I don't know what to do.
