Spring Snow…Or Not
I enjoy a significant snowstorm as much as the next guy but,
as a native Marylander I've grown skeptical of most snow forecasts. Perhaps it’s
just my own warped perspective but it seems to me that the worst storms to hit
us are, more often than not, the ones the professionals didn't see coming.
On the other hand, even the ever cautious Foot's Forecasters
are suggesting that the approaching storm could be problematic. It’s just hard
to imagine it right now with the sun shining and the mercury approaching fifty
and the fact that we are already five days into meteorological spring.
Then again there’s that whole in like a lion out like a lamb
thing…
The Weather Channel folks are calling this storm Saturn but
in the DC area the preferred moniker is Snowquester.
