My sincere apologies, a huge thank you, and congratulations!
Throughout my career, I strive for one thing above all else, accuracy. The smiles and laughs with the rest of the team are added treats for waking up so early. Friday, the one thing I aim for, reach for and try to provide missed the proverbial broad side of the barn.
First, my apologies to the hundreds of bikers for the Light the City ride and to anyone who had plans Friday night that changed due to rain. The first thing I do every day is review the climatology from the day before to compare my forecast. I track my forecast every day as I am my own worst critic. This morning I did not need the review as the wet clothes in my laundry were all the evidence I need.
