because of the altitude, mountains make their own weather. it's not easy to forecast the weather on mountains. unexpected thunderstorms, clouds moving in unexpectedly, snow, hailstones and the list goes on.
the forecast for the economy in 2016 seems to be cloudy, with possible thunderstorms and limited visibility. we can't always see where we are going in life. we don't know if the dots will all join up. but the summit is always there no matter what. It's just sometimes hidden from us.
climbers always prepare for bad weather, no matter what the forecasts. #bcc
