Go figure!

I like to give things more hype than they deserve a lot of times. I'm not one for conservative forecasting, I want to scare people with threats of big storms that will keep you trapped in your house for days. The one time there is a big storm possibility and I don't mention it, the threat does not dissipate and things actually come together. That's right. Yesterday I said there would be no big storms for a bit because it seems every potential there is for one (and there was a potential for Sunday) has been failing and we have seen nothing. The confidence for this storm has been increasing, however, much unlike others that start high and confidence drops out the day before.

If everything plays out right we could get a good dumping of snow. As irresponsible as professional meteorologist say it is to make snowfall predictions days ahead of a storm, I have nothing to lose and will go ahead and say there is a good chance we will see a foot. For now I will stick with a 10-12" prediction. Stay tuned for updates (likely Friday Night, Saturday morning if anything changes and again Saturday night). Get out the shovels and snowblowers, for winter is back and it is back big.
