Speaking of the storm..this'll be round one of Zaffino vs. Salesky. Plus Rod Hill arrived on Jefferson just in time. The one station I know about is totally staffed up, and everyone else must be too--it'll be fun watching the A-team working Saturday.

I just dislike how the stations do all the Hype and fear, people believe them. And yet they don't have a clue on what they seem to talk about.

The Weather Rock

This rock is the perfect weather indicator, it
never fails. It is more accurate than your local
weather person. This rock is the living word and
is 100% correct. This is how it works:

a dry rock means fair weather.
a wet rock means it's raining.
a dusty rock means a dust storm.
a swaying rock means it's windy.
a shadow under the rock means it's sunny.
a white rock means it's snowing.
if the rock is jumping up and down, an
earthquake is upon us.
if the bottom of the rock is under water it's a
flood.

most beautiful of all, though the rock is not
attached to its' existence, it doesn't mind which
of the above is happening.

I just don't like being lied to as a viewer.

I'm just glad I didn't hyperventilate about all the stations' storm plans last night the way I had planned. When I heard that there was still a chance that nothing could happen, I realized how silly it would look.

It looks like ice in the Gorge means the entire region needs over the top coverage of one road closure. pathetic. I just wish weather coverage was relevant and not blown out to scare and misinform people. The public deserve more from their airwaves.

Anytime it even looks like the weather is going to change there is like the world's biggest freak out. As I read the posts my own desktop weather gadget was doing it's own "warning warning" because it is going to be raining all next week and in the 50's

No matter where you live in Oregon, the weather folks are going to do their best to tell you that it is going to be the worst.
