It’s hard to imagine this is what a radar picture used to look like.
During this sanity break from my tech-writing project from Hell, I decided to check some of the local weather radars. The reason is that I am just curious if it is raining anywhere around where I am. Apparently not. I could not have imagined when I was a kid and was fascinated with the weather report on television that I would have a relatively accurate and pretty near real-time radar picture I could summon with the click of a mouse. I could not have imagined I would be clicking something called a mouse, for that matter. I feel I am truly fortunate that all this high-tech stuff wasn’t around for me when I was kid because I probably would have been deeply obsessed.
