Don't waste time watching the weather report on TV.

Rather than tune in weather reports on the TV or radio, or reading them online or in the paper, adopt this simple rule:

Dress tomorrow the way you should have dressed today.

I've found this works 95% of the time. The five percent where it doesn't work helps you keep grounded and remember what it's like to experience weather as a human being.

Oh, by the way, carry an umbrella in your bag, briefcase, or purse. Keep one in your automobile and at your office.
