Shaping up to an interesting day.
Oh, we won't get any at all - we're only predicted for a few inches. That usually means a dusting, if that.
The NWS is just as alarmist as the weather channel. We always derate by 1/2 or 3/4 and that's an accurate description.
I can't remember, at all, the last time that they came anywhere within half of being correct. Mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe a storm we had in 2007 where we got 3 feet ... and they predicted 4.
Other than that, they are always predicting 2 or 3 feet and we get inches.
