Behind the Headlines

9:43 a.m.

I’m always a little skeptical when all the neck scruff gets raised about huge, huge, huge weather heading our way. But this one seems to have panned out a little already. (Though, as I look out the window it’s no longer snowing.)

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning, staring at 7 a.m. this morning and running until 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, with 5-10 inches of accumulation expected. A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow along with considerable blowing and drifting is anticipated, making travel “very hazardous or impossible”.

What do you think? Are you tired of weather warnings that don’t seem to live up to the hype or are they a necessary part of our modern world? Did it change how you planned for today? Am I the only one actually looking forward to 10 inches of snow?
