CoSprings: Forecasters Blew It Again

Earlier in the week, the weather forecasters were calling for a storm that was to dump on us. Yes, some places got the big dump … not us … not most of the places around us. In other words, they blew it.

For the snowstorm that came through yesterday, the weather forecasters were calling for maybe up to 2” in our neck of the woods. The storm, as predicted, started Thursday afternoon and continued into the wee hours. What came down was light powdery snow, and when the winds picked up late at night, it was all but blown away.

We woke up to powdery snow Friday morning. As the hours progressed, the flakes got bigger and fluffier. The air was still … and cold. The storm stalled. The snow stuck. By a little after 11:00a we had 4” accumulated … by the end of the day that total was more like 6”. So much for getting just a couple of inches. The forecasters blew it again.

No matter … the only impact on us was that we decided to reschedule my dental appointment to next week. No big deal. Besides, the aftermath today was magnificent ... with the landscape garbed in white ... and the sky brilliant with plenty of sunshine ... warm temps, too. Well, that makes it worth it IMHO.Leer más
