I've decided to approach every future forecast of snow the way I approached this weekend's forecast ... by making the proper plans and preparations for being snowed in, and then carrying out those plans whether I'm snowed in or not. That way, even if I end up being disappointed by the actual accumulation, I still get the rest and relaxation from being "snowed in".

Are meteorologists using the same modeling software that told the banking industry it was good to give sub-prime mortgages to high-risk borrowers? Is the brain power behind the Doppler5000 and DopplerMAX super radars really just an old Atari 2600?
