Haze is fog, fog is haze and ne'er the weatherman will predict either in the weather report.

On my firefox status bar, i have the weather.com plugin. Shows me the weather for the next few days.

Lets just say its not always accurate.

I think its partly because the meterologists at weather.com dont actually live in the bay area. So they look at their weather computers do their calculations and ... get it wrong sorta.

In New York, you really cant trust most of the weather people, because most of them are in new York because its the biggest media market. They get their shytte from Accuweather and put on a show for their audition tapes.

In Chicago, the weathermen have been there for YEARS, with tenures measuring in decades. In chicago, because weather can be life or death - you cant mess around. Those guys are GOOD.

I could watch Tom Skilling on WGN and know the weather ANYWHERE on the north american continent.

Here? Even the most experienced weather people will give an educated guess, beeecause the weather here is ... fragmented. They know theyre likely to be wrong. The rule of thumb is that they tend to be a day too early on their predictions.

So, although fog is a constant in san Francisco, you could have desert heat in one part, cold in the hinterlands and blizzards in the mountains. All at the same time.

The national weather services are usually right, for the general area, but dead wrong for local weather.

So, for today, weather.com predicted sunshine in san Francisco.

Heh. It was sunny aright, if the sun could get through the blanket of fog. And the blast of freezing winds in half of the city.

So, as of now, they are predicting partly cloudy tomorrow.

Safe choice. :)
