[Spridgets] Snow days

[Jim Johnson]

Yup. It is.  In the olden days, we used to just say "It's gonna rain
today".  Then some egghead decided we should use probabilistic
terminology which most people don't understand.

I ask you, which statement tells you more about the weather?....

1) There are going to be some showers in the area this afternoon and
if you are under one it will rain pretty hard for a few minutes. If
they miss you you'll be dry.

2) A 30% chance for showers.

Cheers!!
Jim
