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.
R.I.P.: Joe Franklin dead at 88. Non-New Yorkers may still know him thanks to Billy Crystal's SNL impression.
