Weather responds to student complaints

April 12, 2013 by Optimist Editorial Board

Students,

Thank you for contacting the Weather. We are aware that many of you have expressed frustration with some of our policies. We appreciate your feedback and believe that you deserve the right to a response.

As you know, we have been developing our services since the dawn of time. Throughout this period, we have cultivated a variety of weather patterns. We enjoy giving people the opportunity to sample extremely hot weather in one part of the week, while plummeting temperatures a few days later. This variable climate is unique and allows for an exciting experience. In addition, it ensures that all parts of a student’s wardrobe are kept clean and ready to wear.

We believe one of our most attractive offerings is the wind. We take pride in being defined by it; certain attributes characterize a region, though they may have a few detractors. Tradition is an important aspect of the society we live in. Incessant, turbulent winds blowing on a day that might otherwise be lovely is one of our flagship features and we stand by this. We regularly receive compliments about the wind and have observed that it requires students to maintain a manageable haircut.

We invest an enormous amount of energy and time in making our services great. The suggested changes would result in a detrimental experience for you, the student. Our unpredictability and inconsistency allows you to preview weather from all over the country right here in Abilene, sometimes within the span of a day. Where else would you have the opportunity to prepare for 90 degree weather followed by a hailstorm and freezing temperatures? As a result, we have no plans to make any changes at this time.

We encourage you to continue to communicate with us about ways we can improve. Again, we appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you in the future.

Sincerely,

The Weather
