More Snow Reports

Every day since my last blog the tireless meteorologists have continued to talk snow. They have crawlers across the bottom of the screen saying "snow watch' they show pictures of the area map with white patches, green patches and blue patches and inform us of which patches represent 1 inch, 2inches, etc. and warn us repeatedly that we must be very cautious when driving, walking , sleeping and any other activity that one might engage in in the course of a day. "It will start to snow Mon on into Tues. and then maybe a light dusting on Wed. Guess what! Nada, nothing, just a few flakes. Maybe a light dusting but only those of us that get up at 6 AM get to see it, and it is just on the grass. Two feet of snow to the north of us 6 feet to the far west of us, So new forecasts come out. There will really be snow on Thurs. Friday and on into the week-end. UH, No snow. They are so persistant, they come on again when those days have gone by and still no measureable snow and start predicting again! They never giveup. Here we are at Friday of this week and despite all the predictions, we still have not had snow but we did get to see the pictures of Owesda, N.Y. shoveling out from under 88 inches of Lake Effect snow. I must admit, I don't want 88 inches or maybe not even a foot but I would like to make some snow Ice Cream and would like to look out the window at the snow piling up and put a pot of white chili on to bubble and boil, and huddle up with my book and read! I haven't given up yet. Tonight John Belski said we may have snow next Wed. on into Thurs.!!Ya' think?
