Good morning, Whitewater
Rain. That’s the forecast from the National Weather Service; it’s also what I see out my window. Over at the Farmers’ Almanac, the forecast is usually the same for a few days in a row — and it has been off for these last few days. NWS prediction for today: 70% chance of thunderstorms, with a high of 54 degrees.
So far, each week of the three that I’ve posted Daily Bread has ended with the National Weather Service being more accurate than the Farmers’ Almanac. I’ll check to see if there are any published studies that compare the two, and then post what I find next week.
On this day in 1965, Wisconsin and neighboring states were struck by tornadoes, and three people in Wisconsin lost their lives, with millions in property damage in the southern part of our state. (April 11th fell on a Sunday that year.)
It’s activity night at the middle school at 7 p.m. tonight.
There are no public meetings scheduled for today in the city of Whitewater. There were none scheduled yesterday. It’s a private sector streak, heading into the weekend.
I’ll post my latest Register Watch™ tonight, focusing on both content and advertising alternatives to the Register.
The Brewers lost yesterday, and our now 6-3 overall, but 3-3 in their division. They have an away series with the Mets (4-4 overall) beginning tonight at Shea Stadium. I’ll post my next Ballpark remarks on the opening series with the Cubs, and what it might say about the Brewers’ prospects this year.
