<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2614548, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m on the &quot;Weather Channel needs to get over itself&quot; side of this debate. Hurricanes behave like individual entities, even though they aren&#039;t, and it&#039;s often important (especially at sea) to distinguish among multiple hurricanes going on at the same time. For winter storm systems, there&#039;s no such need. It&#039;s just a marketing ploy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our local forecasters were calling for 6-9 inches here, and the models were indicating a foot or more. At the last minute, though, warm air surged further north than expected, so we got a half-inch or so of sleet topped with an inch or two of snow. Still pretty, but disappointing; the kids can&#039;t build things, but it&#039;s enough to shut everything down for an extended period, especially since it&#039;s not supposed to get back above freezing until Tuesday.</p><p><br /></p><p>I expect to get out for groceries tomorrow sometime, but I don&#039;t expect to make it back to the office until Tuesday, if then. There&#039;s no telling when the kids will get back to school.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
