Where's the snow?
In St Paul, MN, the weather forecasters were all running around like a gaggle of Chicken Littles on crack, saying how we were going to get a foot of snow, starting Sunday afternoon (4pm or so) and continuing all through Monday.

Well, it's 10PM CST.

Ain't no snow fallin' yet.

:eyes:

Sheesh, if these dimbulbs had the same boss I've got, they'd all be as homeless as half of America's IT workers. x( And unlike the IT workers, the weatherfolk deserve to be.

4. St. Louis got the triple threat today
A coating of ice, a couple inches of sleet in the middle, and a little
snow on top. It's not supposed to melt before morning rush hour. I can't wait.

6. fergit it, go to bed
WAKE UP AND VIEW THE DAMAGE!

we were predicted to get 50 degree temps on Monday, with any expected winter weather on sunday m e l t i n g away....

we've now got almost 5" of snow and ice, more expected overnite, more expected tomorrow, with highs maybe freezing...the governor has declared a state of emergency, 2000+ wrecks in the state by like noon today, schools, govt offices closed...

I vote that ALL weathercasters have to deliver their weather report outside with a full view of the present conditions. If they can get THAT right, maybe then they can forecast...

sheesh,
dp

13. Yep yep
That's what I was gonna say..."Erm...thermodynamic, I think your storm got lost and ended up in NC..." :eyes:

And another thing, never believe the (as I like to call them) *weather-alarmists*...the more shrill they get, the more you should expect the exact opposite.

10. So, HypnoToad, did you get all the snow you were hoping for?
On a side note, I thought you'd retired this account in favor of your new username?
