Pissed off at the freaking weather

One of my prior air traffic controller jobs was as an aviation weather briefer; which means I am/was professionally trained and certified to review weather charts, maps, radar, satellite imagery, etc to brief pilots on weather conditions, both present and forecasted movement. In preparation of travelling I usually check the data out at www.weather.gov. Last night I reviewed the data and made the decision to not chance the drive on Saturday to attend the fighter workshop in Renton, WA because all the charts and radar data indicated an extremely high chance (like 100%) of some type of precipitation over night & into the morning at or below freezing temperatures. Now I'm pissed off because the freaking weather out here cannot behave the way that the charts and radar say it's going to! I should have just set my alarm clock and got up at the butt-crack of dawn to check conditions. No! I had to trust the weather maps instead! Bleh!
