Meteorology....The only profession where you still get paid when wrong.

Not true or almost every pollster and political pundit would be unemployed beginning 2017.

The “Never-ending drought” in California never-ended last year.

My wife like to look at the extended forecast to see what the weather will be like a week from now. I look at it too, to see how often the forecast changes in the course of the week. The weather forecasters are at their best when they are tracking a storm on the ground. When they say the thunderstorm is going to hit my area at 8:31, I can pretty much count on it. Otherwise, not so much.
