Bitter Weather?
December 31, 2006Or, bitter about the weather? Snow lovers in State College, Pennsylvania - or most anywhere in Pennsylvania - are crying "foul" and whining a great deal about the lack of snow. What? Okay I made that up. That's mostly me you hear whining and crying. Jesse has a link to this following NWS thingy that says:
AS YET ANOTHER ROCKY MOUNTAIN BLIZZARD UNFOLDS...WE HERE IN THE
EAST WONDER WHERE ALL THE SNOW HAS GONE. THUS FAR IN 2006
HARRISBURG HAS SEEN JUST 5.7 INCHES OF SNOW. UNLESS IT SNOWS IN
THE NEXT TWO DAYS...AND THAT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY...THIS WILL SET
A RECORD FOR THE LEAST SNOWY CALENDAR YEAR ON RECORD. THE OLD
RECORD WAS 7.1 INCHES BACK IN 1998.
Sorry to yell like that, but the NWS loves to put things in all caps. I would de-cap the whole thing but that would give me a headache. Plus, if they're into yelling far be it from me to change the tone of things.
Henry, to his credit, tried to get us a good snow storm on Christmas. He recently posted a mea culpa about the storm here that said, in part:
You can send him an encouraging note via his blog at AccuWeather.com. Tell him to get rid of the snow blower once and for all.
There is one State College resident thrilled with the weather: Alert Cashier Tammy, who despite getting a job at Target® in the winter has yet to drive in snow flurries, let alone a good snow storm.
