Well, did the weather girl specify if the waves were 30 feet high or 30 feet wide?

About a year ago on the Weather Channel, they were doing a report on Sierra snowpack. The snow was roughly 400-500 inches, but whoever put together the graphic (apparently inadvertently) used the ' for feet rather than " for inches.

So the bimbos are reading along, one says the snow is "500 feet deep"; the other asks, incredulously, "500 feet - don't you mean 500 inches?"; the first then responds "Nope ... it says right there - 500 feet", and the second then acquiesces "Well, I guess you're right".
