The Barn by Ralph Hagen for October 16, 2024

Sunny and hot in October? You’re lucky it’s not snowing!

The prediction is for sunny and hot…say, next June!

Went for an hour walk yesterday morning, started out sunny, then snow, wet snow, rain and back to sun, and man that sun felt extremely hot on our backs. I’m sure this doesn’t only happen in Canada!

Seems meteorologists turn to technology too much forecasting the weather. Maybe look out the window, if their offices have windows.

Reminds me of a blooper I heard long ago. ’Let’s take a leak out the window to see if its freezing’.

I’ve been saying that for years.

well, he’s kinda right, cuz it’s sunny an’ hot somewhere… (kinda like “it’s five o’clock somewhere”, only different… which reminds me…!!!)

Meteorologists and economists. The only professions where you can be wrong your whole life and still be an authority and famous.

This joke is decades out of date. Weather predictions are generally quite accurate. Perhaps our expectations have grown too much. When I was a kid, people complained if the forecast said it would be sunny but it rained instead. Today, people complain if the forecast says it’ll be 68 degrees but it’s 64 degrees.

It can be sunny out and only 6°C.
