An Amazing Occurrence

Well, it looks like the National Weather Service was right on target from the word "Go!" with this blizzard. I have been a weather geek for decades and I don't ever remember a storm where the forecast never changed. From the very first headline of a blizzard watch on Sunday afternoon through the beginning of the storm last evening the NWS never once waffled, hedged their bets or even changed the forecast information. Not once did they use the time-worn weather phrase that the track of the storm can affect the final path of the heaviest and worst weather so stay tuned for later forecasts.

From blizzard watch through blizzard warning and now about to become blizzard waning for our area, the track of the storm and its intensity, it has not changed a bit.

The weather systems and computer information must have been remarkably unified for that to happen. I am impressed.

Sadly, I don't get snow days where I work. What a shame. This was a classic.
