Default He Lied !!

just venting...

On Friday, the weatherman forcasts 55 degrees and sunny for today.
I was looking forward to putting on some serious mileage for the first time this year.

Instead, it's cold/windy drizzle and no more than 40 degrees.

Why do we spend money on those d**n weather satellites - a waste of money and hopes...

Here in Wisconsin we hit 60 yesterday and 54 today, so we rode both days. Yep it sucks when the weather looks to be good and turns out like crap.

I hear ya. But if he'd been right, it still would have been cold/windy drizzle and no more than 40 degrees.

you are right dynaglider - but at least I would have not been so exited, and made other plans.
The forcast for this week is some sun and possible 60's - I'll believe it when I see it.

I managed about 130 miles yesterday in the Boise area. I am amazed at how much more accurate the weather is here compared to the Portland area.

I think before the weather comes on they should make a disclaimer... "For intertainment purposes only"....

The only time they get chit right is when they look out their window....

Go figure...

And... they still get paid for it.... WTF!
