I remember the Blizzard of '78. Seems the forecasters underestimated it, failed to predict that it just might be the Storm of the Century. Ever since then if there is a storm cloud on the horizon they habitually OVER-estimate it, throwing us all into a panic, causing a run on grocery stores and various closings, such as schools. Kids love it. Adults worry about driving in it. Most of the time it turns out to be just a boogyman, nothing much to get worked up about. Weathermen are just terrified at the thought that they might underestimate another Big One. The only really big snow we had last year happened on the first day for Suffolk University classes to begin in January. It gave us a day off, an opportunity to go sledding on the Common for the kids, and a wonderful group of photo-ops for me. If you want to see what I am talking about here, I will post those pics on my LJ, if you request it.
