The Weather Man Conspiracy

So, this weekend we were supposed to have another huge ice storm. We had one at the beginning of December, and it was awesome. Having grown up in the desert, any type of weather beyond windy is rather new to me, so I was rather excited for this new wave of icy cold mayhem.

But not the weather man.

Maybe he's become jaded with all the years of standing in front of a screen with nothing on it. It's possible for anyone to become tired with their job. He may even be concerned about the power outages that were bound to happen because the power company here isn't exactly run by rocket surgeons. But he seemed genuinely happy that it was going to be above 32 degrees at certain points, and that got me thinking.

Weather men must be hoping for global warming.

It would shake up the mundaneness of their jobs. All of the sudden they'd have new stuff to report, things that they could really point to as to why they're wrong all the time.

Sure, I could just be paranoid and a little bitter because we really didn't get any real ice storm. But I just know that somewhere, weather men are leaving their cars running at night and not recycling.

Someone call Al Gore, I've solved the problem.
