Has anyone else noticed how progressively "off" the weather services' predictions have been over the past few years? Is it me? I seem to remember a time when the forecast said it was going to rain, and it rained. I would chalk it up to global warming, but as we all know that's a politically-backed lie the scientists of the world have concocted to enslave us all ;) So if it isn't global warming, then what?

I propose a few theories:

1. Popularity of the "TV weatherman" has wained and all of the forecasters with fabulous hair are not choosing that career-path anymore. As we all know, fabulous hair and rain do not mix, hence a more accurate forecast.
2. Universities' meteorological departments are having a brain drain and losing their competent faculty to the astronomy departments, where the actually study meteors.
3. More and more, the computers that run the models are getting smarter- now we know where "Skynet" really got it's name.
4. God is just having too much fun with the forecasters. "It's looking like rain...looking like rain...looking like rain...ok, it's going to rain! Ohhh!"

Anyone else have any theories?
