What Meteorologist Do....

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere 8000 miles in diameter. Then, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor. Tilt the object on it's axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light. Proceed to freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle. Cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to seven days in advance! I LOVE IT=)
