Run Forrest, Run

Suddenly the weather has taken a turn for the ugly here, which reminds me of a strange personality quirk that i have, and would like to share with you. (That is why you keep coming back after all.)

I predict the weather in the stupidest way possible, which still manages to be relatively accurate. I assume the weather will be exactly the same as it was the day before. For example, it was a little chilly on Monday, so I wore a jacket on Tuesday. It was beautiful and warm on Tuesday, so I didn’t wear a jacket yesterday. Yesterday was a bit nippy, so I wore a jacket today. You see how it works?

I only get burned when the weather changes dramatically over the course of a day. The funny thing is, I check the weather forecast daily, and pretty much ignore it, despite the fact they’re actually pretty accurate nowadays. The temperature range might be off by a few degrees, but by and large, Environment Canada could save me some uncomfortable days - if I’d only pay attention to them. I’m just glad that it cooled off some yesterday, or I could have been in for a nasty wait for the bus today - maybe in the rain too.

It looks like the weekend is supposed to be kind of ugly too, which fits with my prognostications fairly well.
