It's a liger ... bred for its skills in magic

In anticipation of the coming snowfall, if that's what you can call it, I just checked weather.com for an hour-by-hour forecast to see when this fine mist would turn into something more significant. So I clicked on the hour-by-hour forecast and the first thing I see is the forecast for 11 p.m. on Jan. 31. Now, if it were just after noon on Jan. 31 then I might be impressed, but it's Feb. 1. I fail to see the act of faith it took for predict the weather seven and a half hours ago.

It got me thinking though. If weather.com can get so many hits predicting yesterday's weather, maybe this is something I can look into for the Optimist. I'm always trying to think about what's going to get the most hits for the Optimist Online. If weather.com can attract viewers by doing it, I'm certainly not opposed to it. So look soon for a new section for the Optimist Online: Predicting yesterday's weather today.

As I'm sure everyone waits with bated breath to see what Abilene's weather will do this afternoon and evening, I'll try my best to keep it updated on here and make this my first double-post day of my blogging career.
