March snows ???

[farmaholic]

I don't believe in any of the old wives tales pertaining to weather. I once said weather was random and someone gave me heck and said, if we don't understand something we tend to right it off as random. I believe there is a science to weather--ask Drew Lerner. Maybe random science, rain is hard to predict but they are pretty good at forecasting wind and temperature!! So as far as I am concerned, put away the Easter eggs and pig spleens and simply enjoy the hoar frost fog produces. Anyone who thinks they can forcast weather has a 50/50 chance of being right no matter what!!!

Yeah I love the farmers almanac! Their
predictions are about as firm as pissing
into a hurricane, or a grandpa with no
Viagra.

They say things obscure like, March will
bring a few flurries mixed with blizzard
like conditions, with a few days near
melting in ther first half followed by
several warm days. Blizzard like
conditions in some areas. Foggy on a few
days. Chance of snow in the south, with
heavier amounts in the north. Fair
conditions but cold at times. Some days
windy, with a few calm days. Melting may
start by the third week, but more snow
may follow.

I mean, some guys think this is gospel.
I call it obscurity and covering every
possible scenario.

If I hear, well the almanac says.....
One more time this winter, I think I'll
squeal like a piggy with a missing
spleen.

Read Krushner, "Why bad things happen to good people?". Says it best describing creation and "all is chaos", including weather. No rhyme or reason, no predictability or control, nobody to blame. To try influence weather or climate is futile.
All we can do is get out of the way or cope. Or go with the flow, or predict the "trend".
Should have been weather forecasters, wrong 50% of time and still get paid.

Why is my text all narrow, guys? I hate
it.

[grrrr]

There was a full moon on February 18th, and it seems to me that it froze that night, so we know that saying is accurate. HA!!!!

[grrrr]

But really.... We all know that if freezes within 2 weeks (either befor or after) a full moon.

Good question freewheat? Does your text type to the full width of reply box? After I submit, I will see if the number of words in reply is the same in forum.

Suspect you have a apple computer. Have my work PC but a iMac at home.

If on a apple computer, look at the bottom right hand corner of the area you enter the text and you will see a cross hatch. Put the area over top of the cross hatch and drag it to the right. Should do a better explanation but give it a try.

For whatever reason, the apple internet program (safari I think) puts in hard returns based on how things are entered in the text. To change the width, you have to drag the text box to the right. As word of warning, you can drag the text box too far and have your sentences wrap. Know this because is critical when I do impedded links with HTML on my iMac.

Doing this on a PC now and no issues with this.
