As someone who has studied the weather a long time, I have never seen a low spin towards, stop, and start moving back north. Don't ask me whats going to happen the next 12 hours.

I'm thinking back to that old coomercial .... "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature...." :shock:

So: hat and sunny's in the AM, rain-gear in the PM.

Hedging bets on the weather is like any other gambling event .... the house always wins. :cry:

And ..... aren't weather reporters one of the few professions that get paid for being wrong? :lol:

Hey Dan, A reporter tells what happened, a forecaster predicts what may happen. I will take that reporter job any day! You could never miss.

Actually ... any of you who made it through the wet afternoon (wet as in beer???) should have noticed who the "house" was ...
Right, Mr. Chambers!!! Congratulations on the awsome time! :rockon:
