Someone needs to learn what forecast means:

to predict (a future condition or occurrence);

It's not forecasting anything.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've heard the automated voice on The Weather Channel say, "Your current weather forecast" before.

[–]Xaxxon -1 points0 points ago

This doesn't forecast anything; it just tells you what's happening right now, something that a quick look outside the window could accomplish easily. The verdict: not funny in the slightest.

That wire it is hanging on by will rust eventually and then the stone will fall. It won't be gone because of a tornado. What is someone steals it?

Made these all the time in scouts. We once got everyone in our troop to dig up a small boulder and try to lift it on to a tripod. Got it out of the ground and to the front of the campsite, in the air never worked.

Some people erroneously think that this should be called a "current weather" stone and not a "forecasting" stone. But the fact is, this stone exists in a time vortex that's actually a day ahead of where we are...so when you observe it's condition, then that's what the next day will be.
