The weatherfolk have been predicting snow around these parts for a couple of days now, and tonight the white stuff is supposed to be due. After we were done watching a DVD, Dawn and I watched a few minutes of “storm team” coverage by a couple different local news affiliates. Oh, are they ever desperate for a news story to justify their continued existence!

So what’s the gist of the coverage at this hour? “Well, nothing’s happening yet, but if anything does, our city services will be prepared for it, and so should you be!”

There’s not a flake, or drop of precipitation at all, to be seen or felt. That won’t stop them from milking the “impending snowfall” for all it’s worth. Me? I’d just as soon forgo the winter wonderland for another week or three, thanks…
