Ridicule and Scorn

No wonder Dave Spritz walks through life in a haze...

All last week our own Dave told us repeatedly of the rain we should expect nearly every day. And boy, when we get to the weekend...LOOK OUT! Up to 2 inches in some places!

All of which was a crock! The only rain we saw in northern Santa Barbara County came on Saturday night and it was anything but heavy.

How is it possible to take data and forecast out 24-48 hours and be so ridiculously wrong? And I'm supposed to believe that these same folks who put the "ack" in inaccurate have developed models that accurately forecast out the next 100 years?

UPDATE: I'm not the only one...though I feel kinda silly about the whole thing. Not five minutes after hitting the publish button I let the dogs outside. Upon opening the back door it was obvious that my timing was way off. The patio, the grass, the flowerbeds all showed the tell-tale signs of--yes you guessed it...rain.
