i was taking a meteorology class(for non-majors) to fulfill a science
requirement-heard it was an easy "a"-HA! anyway, it was winter and the sky was really cloudy and gray and one of the students asked if it might snow. now this is in tallahassee, florida, mind you. so the professor(who was the head of the department) goes into a long dissertation explaining why it would not snow-very boring! so i'm looking out the window, and this white stuff starts floating by the window-i figured that the whole lecture was a set-up and the prof. had a grad. student on the roof shaking a box of ivory snow. one brave student raised his hand and asked the profressor "if it's not going to snow, then what's that white stuff coming from the sky? the professor looked out the window, threw up his hands and said,"ladies and gentlemen, now you know why the weather forecast on television is no more accurate than it is. because of my error, class dismissed. go enjoy this florida snow!"it snowed the rest of the day and into the night and provided enough stuff on the ground to have a 3 a.m.snow ball fight with the sigma chis across the street from us. lisa
