Funny Weather Forecasting “Facts”
If there’s a 50-50 chance that a forecast will go wrong, 9 times out of 10 it will.
No two weather patterns are alike, although someone will remember one just like this that occurred back in ’84.
Forecast models are like clocks —
… if you only have one, you always know exactly what time it is.
… if your have more than one, you’re never sure!
Heavy snow will generally end once a winter storm warning has been issued.

Bruce,
Very cool site! I like the fact it’s very weather-centered. Too often, it seems broadcasters who do their own page make it all about them. This is very content focused. Nice job. You’ve obviously put a lot of work into it.
I’d take a little of your Portland weather about now. Here in “Minn-e-haha” County, South Dakota the snow’s still falling.
Could you tell me how many days have had rain since March? MAKE IT STOP!!
Hi Bruce,
I love your comic collection! It’s important that we meteorologists have a good sense of humor.

Jay–you are so right. A sense of humor goes a long way in meteorology! Thanks for the post.
Did you know that if there is a double rainbow the colors on the 2nd rainbow are inverted? (violet is on the top?)
Chris–I had forgotten that. Thanks so much for sharing!
I looked at this, liked it, and enjoyed the cartoons, so I decided to have some fun with it by passing it on to a bunch of people and telling them to comment… I HOPE YOU GET… SWAMPED … thumbs UP!
Hi Bruce,
My husband and I really miss your weather reports on TV. KOIN’s loss! I’m so glad to find your weather blog. In response to Christ Neer’s comment about the double rainbow reverse colors from March 22, I will send you a photo I took from Tigard on March 28 that demonstrates the mirror image of the colors in the second rainbow. (Separate post).
We wish you the best and hope another position opens up soon in Portland.
