 NB>> I hear from the radio that there's a nice storm heading your way for a
 NB>> change, that's dumping snow on Illinois now, and then heading for the
 NB>> Mid-Atlantic instead of north towards us...  ;)   Maybe you'll get your
 NB>> snow after all... :)

 MH> Yes, we were under a "winter storm warning" with 100% chance of snow
 MH> and 8-12"  accumulation.  We ended up with nothing but rain.  The only
 MH> places that  received snow in Maryland or even Virginia were near and
 MH> in the mountains - far  out west.  

I was rooting for you to finally get your storm...  at least we didn't
get it either... we've had enough for the season... ;)

 MH> It was a huge disappointment and major forecasting error.  They should
 MH> have  said "99.9% chance" to give themselves an out.

I know... it is to laugh when it's 100%, and then you get nothing... 99%
chance would have been even better when mis-predicting... ;)
 
 NB>> Meanwhile, up north here, we are expecting even warmer... into the 40's,
 NB>> so they claim...  we shall see..  :)

 MH> I saw 60 degrees for Monday.  Spring is basically here.

We've had temps in the 40's and 50's in the last couple of days...
they're calling for 60 tomorrow (with chance of rain late)... and snow
on Tuesday...  Spring is only teasing here, still...  :)  But it's still
early March... :)

... Blame Saint Andreas - its all his fault.
