First, Saturday night, I listened to one station. Then I quickly switched channels and caught another report. I was interested in what Sunday would be like. 1)Tomorrow will be mostly rain; scattered showers throughout the day. 2)Tomorrow will be sunny and warm; a beautiful day to get out and enjoy. I could not believe my ears. Could this somehow describe the same day? In the same sity? I submit this as proof that weather reports are pure conjecture. Never mind all the technical equipment. Obviously the data is too complex to interpret. I no longer will be surprised and wonder what happened when plans are ruined due to incorrect weather reports. What was Sunday's weather you ask? Well, try mostly cloudly with no rain. Terrific. I think I'll stick to looking out the window. Robert
