The weather people have been fluctuating a lot on this storm over the past few days.
My area is very hard to predict, so I’m not really sure of anything; but they’ve been a lot more insistent about this one than others in recent years.
I just saw an update this morning that says my area, Miami County, could get 5-8 inches of snow now, with higher levels just to my south in Howard County. So it appears that this system is going more northward than they first anticipated. I’ll find out more in a bit later but yeah, the weathermen and women are very hyped about this one.
“The weather people have been fluctuating a lot on this storm over the past few days.”
Conspiracy theory: It’s possible that the weather services are in cahoots with Uncle Sam to manipulate the economy. On Wednesday, we were predicted to get 15” of snow Saturday, and maximum ice on Sunday.
Our Generac people were swamped selling and installing as many systems as they could. Grocery stores were cleaned out. Lowe’s and HD were swamped.
Then predictions petered out, to 2” of snow and a little rain. Snow was supposed to have started a couple hours ago, but so far nothing. It seems that they over-hype weather events.
