aw weather.

Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong.

Weather men that is.

This time, they got it mostly wrong.

Every weather station and news station was predicting this HUGE, dangerous, destructive winter storm to hit us this week. We're talking an inch of ice, a foot of snow, power outages, impassable roads, etc. People freaked and cleared the shelves in local grocery stores. They called in the National Guard to help. They recruited extra electric company teams from other states to help. They declared MO in a state of emergency, before anything happened.

Guess what? We got a dusting of ice. Maybe 4-5 inches of snow.

At least towns up north and west of us got something. They did get about 8-12 inches of snow, and roads were bad. But here in the metro area, yeah, not alot happening.

Thank you weather guys. I am glad we could participate in the biggest blizzard of St. Louis since 1982. Wahoo!

  1. haha nice :o) At least this means that hopefully your family can make it for Blake's blessing from KC! I heard I-70 from St. Louis to KC was closed! Hope it's back open. Don't you just love it when weathermen freak out like that!? I think it's hilarious that they declared a state of emergency before anything happened!
