"WE'RE A LITTLE LATE FOLKS."

     "WE'RE A LITTLE LATE FOLKS."

        Back in the days when radio, rather
than television, sets were in the center of
our living rooms one popular comedian
used to close his weekly show quickly
with the words "We're a little late folks
so good night for now."
        Timing is so important to everything!
         And timing is the one thing weather
forecasters can't seem to get just right.
          The forecasts of heavy rains
pounding our area proved pretty accurate
by the time I started writing this blog
Sunday evening.
          Problem is, that rain was expected,
at least by the forecasters, by the time we
got up Sunday morning!
          The threat forced the Plains Township
Lions Club to cancel its annual Trick or Trunk
program and hundreds of kids lost out on the
chance to show off their costumes and pick up
some candy and prizes during a very safe
Halloween event. Most of the day saw only a
very light drizzle!
           I suppose a number of other events
were postponed by the forecast. It's pouring
now but the bulk of the day wasn't bad at all.
           Over the years I've noticed that the
weather forecasters are right far more
than they're wrong. When they say it's going
to snow it usually snows. When they say it's
going to rain it usually rains. But the snow
and the rain usually come hours AFTER they're
expected!
           So give the forecasters credit for
knowing what's coming (usually) but don't
set your watch by them!
           Hope you're on time and that all your
NEWS is good!
