snow

To snow or not to snow, that is the question. For days and days the weather men have been predicting snow. They keep telling us there is going to be an inch, an inch and a half, a dusting, flurries, a flake! So far there have been a few flurries sdrifting down but no visible signs of an accumulation. I had a little girl in school tell me one time. It's snowing but it is not landing! thus far that is an accurate account of what has gone on for the last two or three weeks.

Once again, there are predictions. The new system is to predict by bread loaves! (I kid you not) If the picture on the screen shows an opened loaf of bread with a few slices visible, sort of falling out of the wrapper, that is flurries, if a whole slice is separated from the loaf and standing alone, that is an inch, half a slice is a dusting. I'm predicting that if a whole slice of bread is exposed on TV there will be no bread in the stores.

People go to the stores in droves when any snow is mentioned on the News. They stock up on bread, some times 5 or more loaves. Milk also is a big item. If they normally use a gallon of milk a week, they buy 2 or 3 gallons, "just in case". If we have two feet of snow they will be ready.

I used to have a system, if snow was predicted three times and failed to show up, the fourth time we might get 1/2 inch or so. I am well aware that meteorology is not an exact science but crying wolf is.

Once again it is supposed to snow tomorrow, Friday and into Sat. with a possible accumulation of 1 to 3 inches! I say,"LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW."
