1-3" does not a "blizzard" make.

[brownsfan]

1-3" is not a blizzard.
Maybe 13", but not 1-3".

[aft_lizard]

highwinds do make a blizzard, no matter the snowfall, as long as it snows.

[tmp02]

Agreed! But I love how the news always add a little.

[Dallas59]

Oh yeah...Trying living in Dallas! When 2 inches of snow falls everything stops!

[aft_lizard]

Inches do not make a blizzard. Highwinds do.

[politicket]

Our ski resorts here in Colorado have over 12 FEET of snow!

1-3 inches is still BICYCLE weather! ;-)

[traderrob6]

It does if your in Atlanta.

[tfecw]

:) I love the snow. I want a blizzard!

The winter of 76-77 brought the only true blizzard of my lifetime. We had 3 feet of snow on level ground and didn't go to school for more than a week.

Boston got 32 inches of snow two years ago this week. The other day, 1-3" of snow were forecast for the area but I didn't see a single flake fall (apparently the storm went slightly to the south, and "dry air" evaporated the snow
before it could reach the ground). Weather forecasters got a bit of egg on their face. **

**--which can only remind me of onetime Boston sportscaster
Zip Rzeppa, who predicted a Super Bowl win for one team.
When the other team won, he said, "Boy, do I have egg on
my face!" and smashed an egg on his face. He did the rest of the sports report with egg sliding down his face.

2 in. cleans out toilet paper, milk, eggs, etc. from store. IT MUST BE A BLIZZARD! I'm from Michigan - 6 in a day type a weather.

[Lazamataz]

Snow pisses me off.

[blu]

Oy! You poor baby east coasters! Try 1 to 3 FEET...and more is on its way into my drive as I type. It's just winter, happens every year. Let me know if you need to borrow a shovel.

/wanders away, muttering "Who even bothers to plow or shovel for mere inches of snow??!!

[dfwgator]

Snow isn't the problem, it's the damn ice. At least snow has some traction.

[tanknetter]

1-3" does not a "blizzard" make.

In the DC metro area it certainly does (under the perception = reality rule). We can expect grocery stores to be fully depleted of bread, milk and batteries by about mid-day tomorrow.

[tmp02]

Can I borrow your shovel?

[mewzilla]

We can expect grocery stores to be fully depleted of bread, milk and batteries by about mid-day tomorrow.

LOL. I can guarantee ours will look like a plague of locusts hit 'em :)

[sarasota]

Hmmmm. So this would mean a "white out" scenario?
