Weather Forecasting

I was going to take out my boat yesterday. I hadn't had it out since December, and was about due for a run. The weather forecast called for a 40% chance of rain, which I figured was about as good as it gets at this time of the year. So I invited a few friends to go out with me and was looking forward to a day on the water. Then on Saturday, the forecast took a turn for the worse. 60% chance of rain and snow. Well, I wasn't that hardy a boater, so I cancelled the boating expedition and invited the friends over to my place for a few drinks and snacks instead. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
And the weather? No snow, no rain, and patches of blue sky. I guess I should have known.
