Default Forecasts up the spout!

Hi Everyone,

Over the last few days all the forecasters have been banging on about a
'major snow event' wednesday night into thursday but nothing more after
that. The reality of the situation is that the wed/thurs snow turned out to
be a big disappointment for a lot of snow-loving people.

They don't do forecasts for snow-loving people on the
grounds that they are very few in number and would be disappointed
anyway unless their houses were buried to the rafters. I thought the
forecast for Thursday morning was pretty good. One always has to
allow a little bit for hype and backside-covering.
