“Snow exposes failure. If the weatherperson botches a
rainfall prediction, no one notices, because it’s hard for an ordinary person
to judge rainfall totals, and the storm sewers gobble up the excess. But
someone can detect a bad snow forecast — too much snow, or too little — just by
looking out the window.”
He has a point. There is snow on the ground today,
but not everywhere. So far at least, the Snowquester has just turned out to be a cold wet mess. The best part
is that traffic coming into work this morning was light. The worst part is that
the kids are home and the libraries are closed.
