Even the best computer models (the latest tool for the weather forecaster) have been known to go wrong, especially in areas where weather prediction is tricky (mostly in the Plains states and Texas). To top it off, the panic mentality instigated by the newscasters is enough to set off a stampede to get the last of the needed items to ride out the approaching sh*tstorm.
No joke. Here in Oklahoma we were supposed to be under around 10 feet of snow tonight. Not even a drop of rain fell.

Same yesterday..

Now they predict snow tommorow
