Snowstorm Prediction

Every day the weather threatens us with a ton of snow. A veritable blizzard. Ice and wind and impossible travel conditions. It sounds scary. We watch the dark blobs of bad weather move across the map and sympathize with the weather person standing in a blinding snowstorm telling us how bad it is somewhere else.

Now they are telling us it is our turn. Drew is delighted. They cancel school. A day off! But the weather never antes up. It spits a drizzle of white, barely anything to be concerned about. The wind blows a bit and roads have some slushy gunk. Cars drive slowly, but despite a few accidents, you are not prevented from getting to work.

Its something of a disappointment. I too was hoping for a day off - even though I have just had days off. But I come to work and it is business as usual. We have had white stuff in the air practically since the first of December, but no major snowfall. Nothing measurable in feet. Or really even in inches.


Never mind. Every winter has its own rhythm, and this one is not ornery. I can live with that. I just hope Drew's school doesn't assume that the next dire prediction is wrong and ignore any oncoming systems. Better safe than in a ditch.
