Red Letter Day

Those poor weather forecasters get so much flack for inaccuracy that I’m compelled to document the most accurate forecast I’ve ever seen. “Snow expected heaviest north of highway 14.” On a good day, I could probably throw a stone and hit highway 14, living along its north side. We got 16.5 inches of snow. The next town south, 8 miles away, got 6. Just this once they could have added “No lie!” 😂 I got such a kick outta that. I hope someone brought them donuts this morning. 😂😂

Here they said snow mixed with rain, and that is exactly what we had, but if the temp had dropped 1 degree it would have been a massive snow dump. They played on the fine edge of that and were correct. I find that pretty amazing considering the complexity of warm/cold/wind etc.

@MisterBander Wow! They were just killin it all over then! lol I’ve no idea why they try to get so specific in their forecasts, but it is pretty cool when it works out.
