We all know that meteorology isn’t an exact science. We’ve made great strides in the technology we use and forecast accuracy has improved significantly over the years. We only really blow a forecast about once or twice a year (give or take a couple here and there – or more – hey, it’s not an exact science) and when it happens, I’m usually pretty disappointed in myself. Today, however, I could care less.

This morning, my forecast was for a mostly cloudy day with some clearing by late afternoon. By some miracle that could only have been performed by the Lord above… or maybe Oprah… the sun came out early and stayed most of the day.

After a two-week long spell of clouds, drizzle, and temperatures 15-20 degrees below average, I think today is just what we all needed. I can tell by the Facebook posts and Twitter messages that if I had to be wrong, this was the way to do it. Of course, had things gone the other way and it was cloudy, rainy, 38 degrees, with flurries, I’d probably be calling in sick tomorrow.
