NHC--- To Line or Not to Line... That is the Question

Trackers debate this question all the time. Families argue over it ...

People go online or put on their favorite weather person and there is THE MAP, with THE CONE and THE LINE down the middle. And, they tell you "do not focus on the line" but it's the biggest, brightest pink elephant in the room in the middle of the cone staring back at you and running about 100 miles north of where you live on the five day cone. You are in the five day cone for the 4th day. Do you look at the line or not?

New scenario...same as above..the LINE runs right through your town as if the finish line for the Boston Marathon is in the middle of your townhouse... do you watch the line or say.."well it's a big cone.."

Roy sits at home with Velma who is freaking cause the line goes over Grandma Mary's house ... Roy says, "just look the cone not the line!!"

Velma, replies... "they put the line there for a reason and it's over my home town what the hell is wrong with you?"

Roy replies... "Just look at the cone!"

Velma replies, "You can shove that cone up your... " well you get the idea here..Roy and Velma will not be sharing ice cream cones or a night at the opera anytime soon all because the NHC put up a line in the middle of the cone and then said, "do not focus on the line!"

Seems they are thinking on taking off the line or at least giving you an option.

Either way... anyone can connect the dots from the forecasted points and connect the dots.

Still...I like it. I think it's a good idea. Just my thoughts.

Got to go to go work...enjoy the tune and ... I say... just go with the cone.



Course.. I like to lick ice cream cones ;)
