   Not only does the window give an accurate reading on current weather conditions , your best guess is as good as the weathermans’ prediction.

   Actually, my biggest complaint with “The Weather Channel” is that it is NO LONGER “24 hour weather”.

   I get so aggravated when I turn to TWC only to find they have some “story” going on and I can’t even get “Local on the Eights”.

    That’s for sure. It’s almost fun watching the predictions change from day to day.

    Sometimes on weekends, the “Local Weather on the 8’s” is merely at the bottom of the TV screen and that’s because they are having a story about the weather that happened in the past.

    For an educated broadcast meteorologist to accurately forecast the weather, he or she has to consider ALL of the weather conditions goin on all over the whole earth.

    The local National Weather Service office is at the Tulsa International Airport on the Northeast side of Tulsa. Sometimes the current conditions there have no connection with the weather to the West, South and Southwest of the Airport.

    Several years ago, a new “certified broadcast meteorologist” who was the weekend weather lady on a local TV station got worried about a storm in the Texas Panhandled at 2:00 PM. I was watching a 2-hour Professional Bull Riders event on her station at that time. While it had started at 2:00, it was not to be over until 4:00.

    Well, at 3:00 she took over the station and said the same things over and over for the next 3 hours. At 6:00 PM, that storm did some damage more than 50 miles North of Tulsa in Kansas.

    I get a little peeved when a TV meteorologist in Tulsa, Oklahoma says, “We are having (weather condition) in (someplace 200 or more miles from Tulsa or several states away).

    We, meaning the weather person and his or her staff, are NOT in any place other than the local TV station’s weather section.

    I get peeved if I can’t get a real-time radar of a local thunderstorm. How am I supposed to know if a tornado is headed my way?

    When I was a lad, we didn’t have a weather channel, but sometimes when we turned on the TV the screen was covered with a form of static we called “snow,” but if it was actually snowing outside at the time it was purely coincidence. That was when my distrust of televised weather information began.

    Then when I returned from the War Between the States in 1865, I got peeved by a local weather forecaster who predicted that rain was coming because her feet hurt. The camera panned down to her feet, and they were enormous! They never said whether the size of her feet meant that they were especially sensitive to coming rains, or that the rain was going to be especially heavy because her feet were so big. In 1865 television hadn’t been invented, but we put the wire antennas called “rabbit ears” (in Spanish they call them “oídos del conejo”) on top of our caves for humorous purposes.

    The station did nothing but show her gigantic feet and talk about the rain for 72 straight hours, but I was so mesmerized that I couldn’t change the station, causing me to miss the all-day coverage of the National Barbecue Cookoff Finals. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. I think I went a little crazy that weekend…

    By the time the broadcast ended, the rain had come and gone and the woman with the outsized feet reported that 770 inches of rain had fallen. I swam out to the rain gauge in my back yard, but it was dry as a bone! I had forgotten to take it out of the box.

    I found out later that the woman with the repulsively prodigious feet had been broadcasting from the NORTH side of Tulsa, and my house was in the SOUTH side!

    Since then I don’t trust anybody’s predictions of the weather, and I’m glad the federal government doesn’t fund anything like a “National Weather Service” because that would be useless.
