“THIS IS ICELAND”

At work we have a plan of the day meeting every morning, which includes a weather report. Most of us have no idea what the weather is going to be for the day and since we are in a fairly isolated area there is not much of a weather report. For this reason, we always leave the forecast to a local.

When I first started working here, this guy giving the forecast was fairly accurate. For example one day, he told us that it would rain for most of the day, but it would stop at 3:30. Later that day I was walking back up to the office when the rain stopped suddenly and I looked to see what time it was. He was a little off, it was 4:30. Not too bad. But the past few months it hasn’t been he hasn’t been as accurate. This has lead to very vague reports, which we always seem to include a possibility of snow (light snow he calls corn flakes), rain, and wind. Then when the weather is bad he always ends the report with “This is Iceland”.

Today, he made the statement before the meeting. As I walked through the door.
