Weather

So, as many of you know, the weather has been very strange lately. One day it is 80 degrees, the next it is 64 (it feels like a big difference). I will remind you it is October. As I sit here and write (or is it typing a blog rather than writing a blog) it has rained for almost three straight hours. I just wonder, why technology has not caught up with the weather. Weather stations advertise, "new Doppler radar" but their predictions do not seem to improve. Yes, we do know the days that there is a possibility of rain, but it seems to me, that the rate of improvements for weather-based technology is not equal to that of general technological improvements. Maybe one day I will receive a text message stating that it will be raining in the exact location I am standing in 5 minutes. Does global warming throw off the weather so much that it is almost completely unpredictable?

They say when you have nothing else to talk about, you discuss the weather.
