The weather guy last night referred to the “commercial weather” predicter and felt they were blowing this up bigger than necessary. “Yes, there will be lots of snow, but a blizzard??” I’m sure the grocery store shelves will be sparsely stocked by the end of today.
Was he referring to WackYouWeather by any chance?
I think so... Course that’s the radio station’s weather authority.
They have been watching this since the middle of last week. Models were showing the storm and then not showing it. Only began headlining it when the models locked it in. Now if it does not show, it is the models fault. The guys saying it wont blow up, do not believe the models. They use the same service. Models get more accurate when the storm gets closer. At any rate, don't know why them being commercial would affect anything. Ask the AGW government crowd if global warming will be a problem, and you will see how the non-commercial crowd can hype just as bad, if not worse.
These things always work out for the best!
We’re all set here at home - food, fuel, alcohol and mixers - LOL. As long as the power doesn’t go out, we’re safe and comfortable. What more can you ask for, right?
I wonder if I will see anything, e.g. top of cars or light duty trucks for instance, other then a huge white blanket that will be almost impossible to dig out of. Let alone be able to navigate on narrow city streets that seldom get plowed.
If you are in the area of this supposed blizzzzzzzard, I suggest the following from our recent experience:
Beer
Potato Chips
Soup
Beer
Coffee
Stove (to heat the soup, and make the coffee on if the power goes out).
Liquor (medicinal purposes).
Beer
Assorted canned meat products
Beer
And of course, beer.
Have a real nice blizzard, and stay in touch.
Sounds like a party - enjoy!
