Weather the storm from afar.

The winds are full of rumors. One of which I first caught with a Phil Luciano piece earlier this week. In his piece, the Luce states that there is a possibility that WHOI/WEEK new and weather may lose local representation in that the news and weather may be produced in Fort Wayne Indiana.

FORT WAYNE? I have been to Fort Wayne. I was never impressed.

But aside from my opinions of the city, there is the reality that our local weather forecasters (read that guessers) can't get the forecast right more than 5 minutes in the future. So we are going to add a time zone difference to the formula. OK .... Let's see here.... the 6 O'clock update will now be made at 5 O'clock.... Meaning it will be an hour old before we get it.

I am going back to the old time way of forecasting the weather, the weather rock
If rock is wet, it is raining
If rock is swinging , it is windy
If rock casts a shadow, it is sunny
If rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, it is cloudy
If rock is white it is snowing
If rock is coated with ice, there is a frost
If rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake
If rock is under water, there is a flood
If rock is missing, there was a tornado.

I am fairly certain using a weather rock I will be more accurate than those who are paid to be wrong. It won't matter if they are in Peoria, Fort Wayne or Rio Linda.
