This liquid sunshine is becoming tedious. If nothing else, please adjust the machine to cease said precipitation at the State line.

This liquid sunshine is becoming tedious. If nothing else, please adjust the machine to cease said precipitation, for a while, at least until it all melts and drains off.

Dear Mr. Cow,

We at the Oklahoma Weather Machine (OWM) take all comments very seriously. I'm sorry that we have not be as forthcoming this season on keeping our users more up to date but our Engineers have been working franticly to tune the latest MarkVI weather machine which we put into operation in November 2010.

There have been many technical glitches and a since one part was designed by our sister company the Australian Weather Works Limited then there were a few cockups in the translation of their manual. We now have correctly gotten the entire centigrade to fahrenheit problem corrected. (we think anyway).

We will gradually be turning the liquid sunshine into golden sunshine but please have some patience as we tweek the model for Missouri and Kansas.

Thank you for your concern,
Regard
OWM

Well, I was in West Texas a few weeks ago. Those fans were still running full blast.

The least you could do is turn the fans down a little until you get the bugs worked out.

Thats right blame the bloody OZ !!!

BTW Deral...........

I suspect that you have forgotten to convert mm millimetres rainfall to inches. IE 25.4 approx mm equals 1 inch.

So no doubt you have also been over precipitating by a factor of 25.4

hmm......OCKIE 1 @Avatar
what do you guys do without trees!? OCKIE 2.......OCKIE 3.......mission to base....

Dear fellow RADU,
Yes, we do admit to a rather serious conversion issue on the rainfall as of late in Australia. Amazing easy thing to be programming and just put in a M instead of an MM in a formula.

Sincerest apologies,
OWM
