What's It Like Outside Today?

In the course of a lifetime, one quite often has the need to answer that question, "What's the weather for today going to be?"
In this blogger's lifetime, the methods of securing an answer have undergone an evolution, of sorts:

1. Ages 0-5: Basically, it was either look out the window, or ask a nearby adult, that is, if the weather concerned me at all.
2. Ages 5-18: Turn on the radio and find a station that gave regular weather reports, check the TV if it was during times when a newscast might be on.
3. Ages 19-30ish: Check the weather page of the newspaper each morning. Options from stage 2 were, of course, still good.
   
4. Ages 30ish-50ish: Call the weather number on the phone, if the need was immediate, keeping options 2-3 still available.
5. Age 50ish-?: Check online at weather.com, or some similar weather site. Options 2-4 no longer needed!

While this timeline may be valid for me, the stage where you begin on the timeline may give a person a clue as to you approximate age!

Nothing earth-shaking or revolutionary in the post. Just put this one in the category of musings. It occurred to me last night as I was watching the storms roll through the area!
