Shyea, right!
For the third time this year they are calling for a snow storm. Depending on which station/weather report you get depends on how much snow they are predicting. One station has even gone so far as to predict a foot of snow. Based on the accuracy of past predictions of the National Weather Service, NOAA, and the local media IÂ’m going to go out on a limb and say not more then 3 inches and probably closer to one. I think that over the last four years they are 0 for 28 when it comes to predicting severe weather. When we do get hit by bad weather itÂ’s when they predict either a light snow or rain.

Everyone was telling me last night it would hit over night. I got up this morning and it's still brown and gray. Yicky.
I say - bring it on.

I'm with you- I have radar in my office and there just isn't enough out there to warrant a panic.

Darn. And all we've got is sunny weather in the mid-60s to look foward to for about a week...

Your weather reporting sounds as good as we get here in the Soviet of Washington. Our is standard grey and wet.

One time this year they were on target here in the great state of Massachusetts with a prediction. That was for 12-15 inches of snow... we got about 15. All the other times were calling for 3-5 and we got 10-12... I should've been a meteorologist - best job in the world - you get paid for being wrong!

I like the snow, I wanted a lot of snow. We just aren't getting it.

No fair. I want some snow too. The crazy weather people aren't predicting any to come my way before next week. I'm jealous of your possibility of snow.
