Snow! Snow! Snooowwwww!!!!!
You know, the correlation of weather hyperventilation to actual results on the ground is becoming an inverse relationship. I mean, when Fox News is speaking ominously of a "double-barrelled" storm, you have to wonder.
And first of all, "3-5 inches," er "2-4 inches," er, "a couple inches" is not a major storm.
So what certain havoc did this killer strom wreak? A coating? An inch? I'm looking out my window now and the sidewalk isn't even covered.
"This time, we got lucky," says a chirpy weatherguy.
So, properly chastened, the weather mongers will underplay the next storm, which will clock us in the side of the head. Happens every time.
