Apparently the sky is falling, or something, as the weather forecasts around here call for a serious blizzard today, which could leave up to a couple of feet of snow by the end of the day tomorrow. I'm guessing this won't be as dramatic as all that, as when I paid close attention to one forecast, what they said was this could leave 12"-24" inches, but that this could turn out to be lower if the storm forms further east than they are anticipating. This sounds to me like the low number of their estimate is intentionally too high, which meshes with expectations that news organizations are drawn to weather hyperbole, and an explanation of how you can end up with 6" of snow when they are saying it could be as much as two feet.
