In last nights blog post I rather boldly stated that it was unlikely we would experience a large snow storm this late in the season. I am a bit of a weather hound, and I like to watch the long range forecasts, look at the models etc. I have been watching a storm brewing out over Texas for several days now and couldn't help but notice the storm was tracking more to the east this time. You see, when these big, wet storms come up from the south, they can bring either rain or snow or both. It all depends on which side of the low we end up on. If this system goes east just a little, then were I am will be on the cold side, meaning snow and ice.
The models are not in agreement, and the NWS is not making a big deal out of it yet, we shall see what happens but one local forecaster is already saying this could be the big snow maker of the winter.
I brushed almost 2 inches of snow off of my car this morning, I opened the door and put in the key and immediately the wipers came on (because it was only raining yesterday) and instantly dumped several gallons of snow into my car and all over my legs and into my shoes.
Like I said previously, I am tired of it all and just want warm dry weather for a change. Perhaps this storm will go west, or further south giving us only annoyance snow, but right now it looks like it could be a whopper. Please lord, if it is going to snow let there be so much of it I can get a long weekend out of it, please.
If there is one thing I have learned in over 30 years of living in Southern Ohio, is predicting the weather more than a few hours before it happens is an exercise in futility.

I have to agree. I am normally a person who really enjoys the changing of the seasons. I think every season has it's merits. Fall and Winter are my two favorite seasons of the year. However, two trips to Cancun, my wife buying me my first set of flipflops, which I surprisingly love, and an abnormally hot summer, equals me not digging winter for the first time. I want summer back, and I mean NOW!!!!
To make matters worse on the emminent White Death, my furnace is on the fritz! Cancun is sounding better and better.
