Course, with the way the weather is around here, they might have a better chance of making an accurate forecast by playing darts blindfolded.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776337855337523166.post-3517054959917672802010-11-15T09:08:26.341-08:002010-11-15T09:08:26.341-08:00I do have a tendency to mangle quotes, Brigid. ^^;...I do have a tendency to mangle quotes, Brigid. ^^; I think I was referring to the New England belief that weathermen can't accurately tell the weather even if they look out the window to see it's raining when all their forecasts state it's clear out.

I'm kind of beginning to think that it's a universal saying, and that folks everywhere just like to <i>think</i> that they created it to refer specifically to <i>their</i> part of the country.<br /><br />On a related note, we had our first snow of the season just this past Tuesday (only about two months late; usually the first snow falls in September, even if it doesn't stick that early).Dan (Croatoan5376@Yahoo.com)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776337855337523166.post-1416072460706209942010-11-11T12:35:26.007-08:002010-11-11T12:35:26.007-08:00@Zach: Perhaps it's a Mid-West/New England thi...@Zach: Perhaps it's a Mid-West/New England thing.
