I arrived back to walk up just as it started working around 14.00hrs, walked 2/3 of the way up a flew up t...

Am I the only person who suspects the weather "gurus" know my day off, get me all excited for the days leading up to it only to tell me the truth the night before or when I've already looked out of the window in the morning?
