Weather Out the Window

The weather is always of interest.  We want to know what's predicted so we can plan what we wear, what we pack for a trip, what we are going to do outside, whether we are even going to venture outside.  Will we need an umbrella, a sun shade or snow boots?  Do we need to water plants or cover them up?  Is it the season to rub in how nice the weather is to our distant family and friends?
We watch the news to catch the weather, we check our weather apps and websites.  The "weather" person is now a meteorologist with information from thermometers, barometers, anemometers, doppler radar and weather satellites to give us a forecast.  Yet, with all their tools, their forecast so often goes out the window, so to speak.  
Our forecast in Greer has been quite out the window of late.  The "Big" snowstorm turns out to be a bust, while we really weren't expecting much snow today, but it started falling mid morning and hasn't stopped yet.  We've been shoveling throughout the day to clear paths for guests and sweeping entryways to keep down the amount of snow brought in on boots.  Tomorrow we may be shoveling cars out so they can get home.
While I still watch the forecast, check an app or website, what I find most helpful and accurate is to look out the window and see what's really going on.
