That of course was not forecast as anything more than "heavy winds."Antonia Rosinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213023670724061978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-69623838211381282622011-02-06T23:38:43.836-05:002011-02-06T23:38:43.836-05:006 inches of snow!

Plus the weekend was full full full of friendship and healing. Thanks as always for all your wonderful, fun, insightful comments.

Folks didn't much take them seriously because they were wrong such a high percentage of the time.<br /><br />Then came the Ice Storm of 2009. It was worse than anyone could've imagined. The destruction was, literally, of a you-have-to-see-it-to-believe level. A lot of folks were caught off guard by not just the severity of the storm but also the extreme duration of the after effects. People had grabbed toilet paper, bread, and milk for a couple of days of snow and ice. They hadn't planned on a month long ordeal.<br /><br />People take the weather predictions a lot more seriously since that storm. Two years have passed (last week was the anniversary http://winterlightblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/2-years-ago-this-week.html , and it hasn't fully worn off, yet. I wonder, though, how many more instances of getting it wrong, more and more crying wolf, it will take before folks go back to complacency and unpreparedness.Rigelhttp://winterlightblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-22935487319510235102011-02-04T11:59:34.483-05:002011-02-04T11:59:34.483-05:00Here in LA they do the same thing for rain.

A joke I tell you and I get so pissed because they are always wrong and then when they don't say a thing it rains for days.

Faced with the total non-event the "Storm of the Century" had turned out to be, the meteorologist, who the night before had been waving his little pointer alarmingly while telling us to stock up on essentials, was stammering for a good ten minutes as to why he had told us what he had and the climatological reasons why none of it had come to pass. It was a metaphorical CYA umbrella if 'ere there were one! Meanwhile, the whole region sat at home with little more to occupy them than thougtful consideration of the Armageddon that wasn't!garedicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869654769594149589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-64383233767579476072011-02-04T08:49:07.844-05:002011-02-04T08:49:07.844-05:00We were suppost to have a couple of snow storms th...We were suppost to have a couple of snow storms this month where I live and had ended up with maby an inch of snow. Around here people freck if you say the word SNOW. They act like it's the worst thing in the world. Me I like it but that's just me. I hear people talking about it all the time at work. The snow,the snow it's going to be bad. I always tell them,it's only bad if you make it bad. <br /><br />One thing that always gets me before it snows is people asking me "So,is it going to snow tonight" I always tell them I have no Idea,I am not a weather women,how the heck would I know.Lyndsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474928538640746195noreply@blogger.com
