Case in point: The forecast yesterday called for some bands of lake-effect snow (which, despite the fact that we do live on a lake, never actually happen for us because of our actual location), with accumulations of only one inch. The reality? It snowed all day, with high, horrible winds, occasional periods of near-whiteout conditions, and accumulations of at least three inches.
Dropped the ball on that one, Mr. Meteorologist.
This meant that all four of us, plus the cats, were inside all day. The dogs wanted to be inside too, but it was crowded enough around the woodstove without that trio of large canines. A. made dinner. I made popcorn. The MiL mended some clothes. It was all very homey, and we were all very bored by the end of the day.
It's still snowing a little this morning, and the forecast is calling for more snow tonight. Although, given the local weather guy's track record so far this season, I wouldn't bet on it.
Currently 76 degrees and sunny. :)

I am debating whether the so called meteoroligists all use Las Vegas style roulette wheels with assorted weather forcast on them or a dart board. Maybe I am wrong and it is a combination of the two...wait...maybe they roll big ol' dice with different weather on each side of them...or toss a coin...meteoroligist school- it's a crap shoot...that must be their motto.

ReplyDeleteMan, I was up your way on Saturday and the roads were awful! It was like a dang blizzard. And I was all, like, "I didn't think the weatherman called for this!"
