Everybody Sing: "O the Weather Outside is Frightful,...."

SHIP'S LOG:

     There is a strong possibility that we will be the recipients of an honest-to-goodness blizzard beginning within the next 24 hours and, while everyone else is panicking,  the weather people are in 7th Heaven. But since it is my friends at NOAA who are making the forecasts, I'll wait and see.  After all, based on past experiences, it could be that we in line for sunny weather and temperatures in the 80's for NOAA tends to get things " just a bit wrong" from time to time.

     They have also been known to be spot on and, if they are this time, we are going to get smacked big time. It will be " the blizzard of the century" until the next time and all of the-weather people on TV are just loving it. One of the local channels is opening up their " storm center" and each is trying to out do the other is scaring the crap out of the local populace. They broadcast their dire warnings and ever increasing "prophecies of doom" - weather-wise  -with looks of total ecstasy on their faces. They live for this and they are enjoying it totally. And if they are right, they will so happy that they will explode.

     There will only crushing disappointment for them if the "storm center turns south" or in any direction that takes it away from here and with it, the snow and blizzard conditions. Truth be told though, I am kind of looking forward to their being right. I missed all the snow in the winter of 2010/ 2011, so it will be "nice" to have the experience again. If it is as bad as the "Blizzard of '78"  as some are forecasting, that will be something else again. Then again, since there isn't anything one can do about the weather, I'll just enjoy it.
