Rant; Winter 2013/14

For my outdoor plans, normally I just look at a few days expected hi/low temp trend - but this winter its the hourly temp forecasts (and winds)

i.e. as of now Sunday is forecasted at high of 50, lo of 10.

Have you checked out Weather Underground's new graph based forecasts? Neat, I think.

That's an almost perfect execution of data visualization.

Wunderground phone app has it too - and it has replaced my accuweather app.....I'm going to kick ass at weather small talk with the in-laws!

I just downloaded this app and I think it's broken. The little graph only shows air temp to -10 and the little red line dips below that.

Lol.
And even with the new wunderground App - I still had my ass handed to me by my father-in-law in weather chatter. He was first out of the holster with his old static weather app. Once the bullets were flying - he didn't even hear my comments....St. Louis, Chicago, Colorado, ...he rattled them all off

Above 0 at midnight?

Sorry, you are banned from this thread. Call a Whaambulance.

Don't you have something you should be scooping?

It's like a winter hurricane out right now. Hyperbole aside, I've never seen weather this bad before.

Here too. No idea what the gust we just had was but my house took some damage. I was heading into the kitchen to get a drink and the wind hit and it scared me. It was really ripping. So I walked out side and I have some siding peeled back and maybe some roof damage. It's too dark to see real well.

The only good news is that my employer cancelled a few of the big Monday operational meetings, and are setting up remote calls for the others. We are all given permission to "work" at home today. Latest edition of Baseball America arrived yesterday, so I'll be "working" very hard today.

I have to work in the office today and I'm tired of picking up the slack for you jokers "working" from home.

We appreciate it.
