...copied my t4t post
I am very thankful for the weatherman some days. Forecasting? I have no idea about pressures, lows, temperatures, gradients, systems, degrees... too many fancy terms and too much schooling for this joe. Some things you just have to leave it to the pros.
Like this recent one... I could've ignored all the warnings, wasted gas and time, and spent my time trying to swim out of the soggy and obliterated snowpack with my g-tex body suit.
Seeing that a wash was a-coming I decided to just chill out and stay home, and I'm glad I did.
I figured... after this amount of rain predicted, the snowpack would surely take a beating and this was it for spring skiing at the rockpile
I slept in enjoying the pitter patter of the torrent outside
Around noon I decided I should probably do something productive and got up
A little hungry, I had a half a dozen donuts to treat myself
Slumped on the couch and stared out at the wet, empty streets outside... I pictured other homes with kids stuck inside relegated to playing video games.
Cat came by, jumped on my lap... purred a little
Sometimes the kitty must be pet, so I pet the kitty
Kitty kinda got tired so he went off for some more sleeping. I peered out and the rain still hadn't let up - those weather guys really had it down.
I went back upstairs, laid down for a bit and took a nice mid-afternoon nap
