Hype

Not sure why, but the promised (threatened?) 8" - 12" of snow just did not materialize. A quick photo outside provides some evidence - Zippy's car has maybe 2" of wet snow; it's barely enough to shovel really.

Dr. Mel is still talking 8" - 12" in Hartford, which I have a hard time believing, but he's also saying the storm is racing off to the east, and the doppler images show no precipitation to the south and west. The street (a side road in Hartford that is rarely plowed early) is clear. The temperature was right around 32F so perhaps we got a few hours of rain before it turned to snow.

I was fearful that a 1:00 pm appointment today in WH Center might be canceled, but I'm pretty sure it will not be affected. Heck, heading in to work this morning is a pretty sure bet, and yoga today will depend on how I feel and not the weather.

Much as I hate to see the state snowbound, you have to feel that this is a let-down.

You got less of winter than the forecasters predicted. We're on the Florida/Georgia border and they're " futurecasting " a 20 degree " event " near here tonight. What's wrong with this picture?
