Weahter forecast-- can they ever get it right???

[winnieb]

The weather men have been forecasting a huge snow storm here. Since early last week we have been hearing on Saturday it would begin snowing and by Sunday afternoon there would 12" of snow on the ground.

I went to Walmart last night--- there was nothing there. I bought the last bag of tater tots (no other frozen potato things left), the last mac n' cheese, the last 2% milk, last loaf of bread, they were already out of spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, chili seasoning, almost out of chips. I heard the manager talking to someone saying from 8am till 8pm they have sold $445,000 worth of things.

You can't find shovels, ice melt or sleds anywehre in this city!!! It is unreal. The weather guy predicts a snow storm and the city panics!!!

As of last night--no snow. Starting early this morning we were getting freezing rain and sleet. The forecast is now calling for 1/2" of ice, snow starting at 10pm and by tomorrow there will be 3-6"-----what happened to the 12"???? I would rather have 12" snow then 1/2" of ice!!! yuck!!!

Earlier in the week they were predicting 12-18" on Thursday of this upcoming week--- I am sure we will never see that!!!

Why can't I do my job wrong, but still have enough power to provoke panic???
