captainsblogMy, the weather pundits had their way with us. The headlines started showing up about this time yesterday:
Forecasters issue watch for rare April snow!
Snow aims a parting shot at April!
There's a sale at Penney's!
Yesterday, the predictions were around 4 inches. By this morning (when not a flake had yet appeared here), they'd doubled down, said it was late in arriving but would darn well dump more like 9 on our northern climes, more in the snow belts to the south. Sure enough, around 9 or so this morning, the heavy wet snow started coming down. A bunch of pantywaist schools closed. Reporters were sent to overpasses to find pileups and stranded motorists.
And?
By the time of my noon court appearance, meh. It was cold, disgusting rain again. To say it petered out would be an insult to eunuchs.
What will they be talking about on the 6:00 news, I wonder.
Probably shovel-to-shovel coverage of the snow we didn't get.
