Don't call me boring, folks

When it's midnight on Saturday and you have the computer to yourself, what better way to be entertained than to compare weather forecasts of the three TV stations in town.

Just so you don't have to bother yourself by visiting them all, I'll give it to you in a nutshell.

I C E (and freezing rain)

Now, how likely it is to happen is what the meteorologists (or lowly "forecasters" if you don't have the degree) disagree on:

TV station 1: 20, 80, 80
TV station 2: 90, 90, 60
TV station 3: 50, 70, 70

Translation: The above numbers are the percentages for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, respectively.

Further translation: No one knows what's going to happy on Monday. School is cancelled on Tuesday. Start making a grocery list to replace refrigerator items on Wednesday.

Wow...sometimes my raucous Saturday nights surprise even me.
