Accuprecisoweather.

After griping for the past several days about having to fit to everyone else's schedule - I find myself with a free day but no plan on how to use it. I ended up giving myself over to BBC America: home fix-up shows, auction shows, Benny Hill shows and Bush-bashing newscasts. At midday I made a valiant effort at a bike ride, determined to brave the cold and the wind chill; 15 minutes into the ride an un-predicted rain shower began, that was just too much, and I packed it in.
The system software on our Macintosh computer links by default to "AccuWeather.com," and we check it several times a day, most days. It is quite intensive, offers quite a bit of detail, is very localized, and offers forecasts 15 days ahead, and predictions at 2-hour intervals three days ahead. Quite impressive.
But why 2-hour intervals? Why not 15-minute intervals? Why not make predictions minute-to-minute, as it implies more precision, and since they're all going to be wrong anyway?
The day was not a total loss. While I was out, I determined to go to the pharmacy and get some of that Gold Bold Medicated Body Powder I've been hearing about.
Always trying new things.
