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. 😂😂

I've lived in Minnesota long enough that nowadays I just figure "we'll get what we get" and leave it at that!

The day before this latest storm, a complete stranger approached me in the grocery store and started talking about how we weren't going to avoid this one. I nodded and kept going, but he followed me around for a few seconds so he could go on and on with with speech about how we "were doomed!" 😄

@DrWatson Doomed! Goodness. I’d have to wonder if he’d never seen snow before. 😂
