That's not hard to do, just predict the opposite of right now and it will happen within a matter of minutes. :D

As anyone familiar with the weather in IN knows, the only way Andy manages that is because he controls the weather in 75% of IN!

Although that does help! (Hey, you stole the Michigan line - "Don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes.")

Does that mean Michigan stole the New England quote from Mark Twain? :yikes:

"If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes." - Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens

This might be a bit off-topic for this thread, so I might take it somewhere else, but I think the current rep implementation has an odd "feature". Earlier today, someone made an unwise and hasty post and collected much negative rep. The post was then deleted and said negative rep evaporated. I presume this is because all rep is attached to specific posts, but it seemed odd. The implied sentiment that things are alright as long as you retract your words is nice, but very bad things were still said. I suppose I'm ambivalent as to whether I'd want the reps to stick around or disappear, since they're just dots. But still. Has anyone else noticed this or have opinions on it?

Yeah... Kinda wondering about that.
*If* I made a bad post (not saying that I did), got bad rep for it, and deleted it, the bad rep disappears out of my Reputation list. But the negative points still stay. I think that either the bad rep dot should stay in the list with the comment, or you should get those points back. But missing points is just weird.

I think that may be a bug in the plug-in that displays the reputation. I don't think the points are reversed at the user level when a post is deleted. I'll try to remember to look at that ..

It is more like three minutes. Seriously though, Indiana is the only state that you will use your air conditioning, then heat, then air all in a matter of about 3 hours.:D
