The Blizzard of Nothing!

We were getting reports that it was the storm of storms. Friends were sent home early to "beat the blizzard" and TV coverage went into overdrive. You know what I am talking about. The reporters are sent out with rulers and wind meters. The stations clear all regular programming so they can be first, live and local! Then comes the graphics and different names for the storm. Do you go with "Winter Watch '11" or how about "February Snowstorm" but then my sister calls to share in Portland they have gone one better with "Snowmagedden" it is to be the storm of storms!

Went to bed and no snow yet. Hmmm, and you just have to love the weatherman who came on at 11pm news and explained what happened and how they got the tracking so wrong. It really wasn't there fault. Seriously, can I get a job like this? I can be wrong this often and still have my job. It makes you laugh.
The next morning...OK, so I wake up to a whole inch of snow. Seriously, all this hype for an inch of snow. There are reports that north of Seattle some cities up near Everett got over a foot. It was not suppose to be that way this time and in the end it was exactly the same as usual with the convergence zone. And so we go... FYI, the above picture is from a town called Darrington about 35 miles north of Seattle.
