A Colossal Bust

So we did not get hammered with snow like other parts of the country did. We had some sleet and maybe a dusting of snow but the pictures speak for themselves. The meteorologists make me laugh. I know they're not divine and can't entirely predict the weather but at least fess up when you've made a mistake. The forecast kept changing slowly yesterday. Even when we watched the 11:00 news last night they were calling for an inch an hour...making the morning commutes "extremely difficult." Yet when I talked to David this morning he said the commute was fine and actually quiet due to all the school closings. The news people still kept trying to find a story. "That sleet is really coming down. The wind will slice right through you." Haha. No big storm. It's a good thing. David got a few extra minutes of sleep this morning instead of having to dig out a driveway. And, I'm grateful we don't have a blizzard. You can tell especially in the snoopy photo that there was hardly any additional accumulation.

It's possible there's less snow today than yesterday. Ugh. The news people kept making this into something, when everyone knew they screwed up. Oh well, at least some people got a snow day out of it!

A few minutes of extra sleep is a good thing indeed.

All we got here was heavy winds and nasty, icy rain. I had to drag the garbage and recycling down to the curb last night and wiped out, sliding several feet across the muddy swamp that is our front yard. I would have preferred the blizzard.
